THIS GREAT STATE.


put in fine condition.
The increase of the acreage
planted in sugar cane in the parish
of Pointe Coupee this season is
large.
The acreage planted in sugar
cane in Assumption parish is larger
than last year. The seed was in
prime condition.
-" Many of our small farmers
are, in my opinion, planting too
largely of Irish potatoes" says the
Pointe Coupee correspondent of the
Louisiana Planter.
Tile Iberville correspondent
of the Louisiana Planter says ::
"Large quantities of COW peas are
arriving daily, and the acreage sown
in vines will largely exceed any
other preceding year."
- Says the St. Mary Banner ::
ssThe Methodist church here is on
the increase. New names are being
added to its roll of membership al
most every week. The work of the
church can not but be appreciated
by every one"
-"Good public roads are a
great boon to any country and al
ways pay handsomely" says the
Claiborne Guardian. "The question
is, not can we afford to build good
roads, but can we longer afford to
do without them 2"
M. P. Phillips, who owns one
of the largest and best improved
plantations in Pointe Coupee parish,
is making preparations to put up an
oil mill in Bayou Sara. He is one
of the largest shareholders in the
Lakeland oil mill in Pointe Coupee
parish, which is doing remarkably
well, having, the past business year,
paid dividend of 80 per cent. to
its owners.
Good advice from the Clai-
borne Guardian: "There are prac.
tical farmers who think that pork
can be produced in this section as
low as half a cent pound. One
thing is certain, and that is, there is
no place where hogs can be raised
to better advantage than right here
in North Louisiana. Instead Of our
people depending upon st. Louis
and Kansas City for their meat sup
plies, they should not only make
their own meat at home, but some
TO sell besides"
The State Crop Report for De.
cember estimates the corn crop Of
last year at 100000 bushels; cot
ton, 100000 bales; sugar, near 400,
600 hogsheads. The rice crop is very
much the largest ever raised 10 Lou
isiana and is estimated at one hun
dred and eighty million pounds o.
clean rice. A great portion of this
crop is raised in the parishes of St
Landry, Acadia and Calcasieu.
The following is from the
annual report of the COMMISSIONS
of Agriculture: cit may not b.
inappropriate to emphasize the i'm
portance of growing more and bette
hogs. Under the stimulus of in
creased expectation, made possibl,
by recent removals of embargoe
upon American pork in foreign
countries, the prices of hog product
have advanced nearly 100 per cent
and that too in the face of largel
increased receipts. The consensu
of opinion is that this foreign de
mand will continue and that tn
present prices will be maintained o
increased in the next few years.
With this view of the future, it be
hooves our planters and farmers t
grow their own hogs, which the
can do as cheaply as is done in tb
most favored regions of the West"
