question.
Just here it may not be inappropriate
to emphasize the Importance of growing
more and better hogs. Jnder the slim
uus of Increased expectation, made pos
SlbIe by recent removals of embargoee
upon American pork in foreign cOun-
tries, the prices OF hog products have
advanced nearly 100 per cent, and that
too, III the face Of largely increased re-
celpts. The consensus of opinion is that
this foreign demand will continue and
that the present prices will be maintain
ed or increased il the next few years.
With this view OF the future, it behooves
our planters and farmers to grow ther
OWN hogs. " hiell they can do rs CneaDiy
and as protitably as Is done in the most
favored regions of the West.
The following are the crop estimates
of the Department.
The cotton crop has been greatly re-
duced from what it was last year. Our
estimate on the crop is about 100000
bales.
The corn crop will go much above the
crop of last year We estimate the crop
at near 100000 bushels.
The rice crop is very much the largest
ever raised in Louisiana, and will come
very near 1S0,OOO,0OO cone hundred and
eighty miIion) pounds of clean rice. A
great portion of this crop is raised in the
parishes of St. Landry, Acadia and Cal
Casieu,
Our estimate Oh the sugar crop is near
100000 hogsLeads. 1t appears at this
date that we may have made our csti-
mate d little too low, however,
The crops of St. Landry are set down
as follows; Cotton, lI,431 bales; sugar,
3420 hogshcads; molasses, 444G barrels
of 80 gallons each coin, Il 1896 bushels
rice, cleaned, 1882 $50 pounds; sweet
potatoes, 115,iGS bushels iisIl potatoes
10000 bushels oats, $500 bushels.

Our Compress.

In laudable spirit OF enterprise, a
few of our intelligent fellow citizens en-
tered into articles of incorporation and
put up cotton compress here. 1t need
not be argued that such an enterprise is
necessary and emlnently calculated to
do good. The work it has done is as
good as can be done elseN here, and the
price of handling cotton here is neces-
sarily cheaper than in New Orleans. The
compress has not met with the encour
agement that should be extended to it.
Various pretended causes are assigned,
not one of which should deter or prevent
our planters from patronizing it, We
may expect that opposition to it will be,
as it has already been, made to it. 1t is
perhaps quite natural that the commits
sion merchants would prefer TO have
cotton handled in the city, 1t is useless
to state why. But the most frivolous
of all the reasons given is that compress
ing the cotton here affects the quality Of
the samples there. 1t is Il little difficult
to understand why such should be the
case, and it is not at all difficult to un-
delstand that, if samples are taken out
of compressed bales, little time given
them on the sample tables of Il merchant
remedies the apparent effect produced
10y pressing. The merchants have made
an effort to discourage the patronage of
our compress, but our planters ought to
sec if they do not that all their otitc-
tions look to their the mclchantsD i'll
terest. The company here should have
every bale produced in three OF four sur
rounding parishes, The planters will
find it to thelradvautage to bring it here
