THE LOUISIANA SUGAR
CROP.

With the end of the present mouth
the sugar licenses of the domestic pro-
ducers for the season OF 1929 eX-
pire, and, according to the bounty
law, the applications for the next sea-
sons license must be filed by July l..
On that date the preparations tor the
next sugar eason begin, and all wagon
sugars not weighed and inspected by
the Government weighers prior TO that
time will have to be included in the
bounty payments OF the lext year nh
der the e license. All these facts
are now well known 70 the producas;
as the experience of the past two' seAs
sons has familiarized all with It'd
workings of the bounty law and regul
lations.
After the first of the coming month
the applications for licenses will show
the planters estimates of the amount
of sugar they expect to make during
the coming season. Of course such
estimates always call for a much larg-
er quantity of sugar than is ever actu-
ally made, but they will nevertheless
form a more or less reliable basis for
calculations upon the probable yield
of the growing crop.
There is every reason to believe that
there has been a fair increase in the
acreage devoted to sugar cane this
season, the increase being pretty even
~ distributed over the sugar belt.
Some lands formerly PLANTED in rice
have also been diverted to cane. The
growing custom of raising cane to sell
tic the large mills has also encouraged
extension, in The acreage. The wealth
er conditions haEe'so far been favora-
BILE to the progress, of the crop and an
excellent stand is. reported almost ev
erywhere.
Should, therefore, the sugar belt be
spared from disastrous overfows there
is every reason to hope for a large
crop during the coming fall. 1t is of
the highest Importance that the crop
should show a good increase this year,
so as to prove, by convincing evidence,
that the Louisiana sugar industry is
progressive and that cane culture is
susceptible of a much wider develop
ment in this section.-N. 0. Picayune

The beauty of outlets in the Missis-

day. \.
First, there we're some outlets in
Arkansas, ana the water that should
and would have gone to the Gulf one
month ago, took a journey down the
Ouachita Valley, innundating and sub
merging thousands of acres of land
and running crops for 300 miles, now
dis by way of the mouth of the
Red River, piljng itself on top of the
high stage of water, bursting levees
and running crops along the lower
coast.

and caused such serious ap%prehen-

the great delight of the immediate

caused considerable damage, especial
ly in the interior settlements. between
Lake Verret and the front settlers.

Visitors to the Transportation build
ing yesterday had an opportunity of see-
ing a novel sight in the exhibition Of
several great locomotives running at
full speed. yet not moving an inc from
their positions.
This exhibition, the first of its kind.
was got up by the Baldwin Locomotive
works. The engines are raised SO that
the drivers will safely clear the tracks.
and as they fly around with lightning
express speed the sightseer has an op'
portunity to stand in one spot and see a
locomotive run go miles per hour for .
whole hour if he desires to O. so.
The motive power is compressed air.
which is furnished from a compressor il
Machinery hall through iron pipes.
One curious feature Of the exhibition
is the steamlike appearance OF the ex'
haust out Of the smokestack while the
engines cylinders are almost at the
freezing point. This phenomenon is dut
to the fact that the compressed air as II
expands rapidly in going through rat
compound cylinders absorbs a rapil'
", or, what is an equivalent, generates
cold. Consequently, when the air Il
finally exhausted, it is * much colder
than the surrounding atmosphere that i
precipitates the moisture in the lattel
and forms a mist. just as in the case o.
exhaust steam. only the conditions un
der which it is formed are exactly re
versed in the case a the cold air.-Chi

The little steam yacht Niobe made fast
to the dock in a slip at the foot OF the
Randolph street vladuct recently and
completed a cruise of e 5000 miles.
She was built in St. Louis and is owned
by Will D. Campbell. On board are
Charles A. Macknight, engineer; U. II.
Harpham. pilot; F. l.. Mowder, Allie
Cullnaine and Frank Booth, steward.
The Niobe is a small boat to start on a
cruise like the one she has just CON-
pleted, being only 80 feet long and 10
feet beam. She is u by kerosene. hav-
ing 2 water tube boiler and compound
engines.
The Niobe left St. Louis last October
and started for New Orleans. Arriving
there early in the winter, the party spent
the entire time cruising around the coast
and visiting the smaller lakes which
abound in Louisiana. They lived aboart
their boat all the time and dinei stump
tuously on tls game, oysters and hsf
