Star, is narrow strip of land. not
more than thousand yards wide in
places, in which, it is said, the best
oranges in the country may be grown.
There is no levee, but the waters have
10 wide an expanse that the annual
freshets do not cover the land, as
would be the case higher up where
the river is narrower. and where the
levees are vital necessity. Beyond
the narrow strip of land that marks
this side of the river are innumerable
bayous and cane brakes and swamps.
In these bayous lurked the "long, low,
rakish crafts" of the pirate Lafitte In
the good old days. The country is in
habited by Creoles of the most prim-
tive type, who live by raising fruit,
fishing and oystering. This narrow
"trip OF orange country is worth 5000
an acre. Higher up the river on the
same side as New Orleans is approach
ed are miles after miles Of truck gar
dens and small fruit farms blooming
and fresh and green from the water
drawn to them from the Mississippi
river. The method OF irrigation is by
syphoning from the surface of the
river, which is higher than the land
on the other side of the levee. The
levee Is from twelve to fifteen feet
high. At every little farm is a big

this ditch others lead to all parts OF

The coincidence of the attack, with the
expression Of the final determination
