We understand that the town of
Lafayette is now fully as large as
Carencro. We always knew that it
was a pushing, enterprlsing place;
and it only goes to show what real
| energy can accomplish. Carencro
had better look to her laurels.
| The establishment of large
| meat packing house in New Or
| leans is an assured fact. Our
farmers should find much encour-
agement in this statement. 1t
means cheaper meat for consumers.
1t also means a reliable and close
by market where hogs can always
be sold at fair figure. Should the
enterprise prove successful, and
there is no reason to doubt that 1t
will; our farmers could go extern
sively into hog raising, which has
proven very profitably in the West.
The plant in the city, will be one
of the largest in the South, and will
command the trade of very ex-
ltensive territory. Lafayette parish
has always been recognized as be-
ing leculiarly and particularly
adapted to stock raising. And at
one time its praries were devoted
; almost exclusively to that line OF
business, a fact that should cause
our farmers to give the matter their
i serious attention. 1t at least at
, fords an opportunity that we feel
1 assured they will not be slow to
, appreciate.
