The census returns show that
Houston, Tex, has during the past
ten years increased its population
faster than any city in the south.
This increase has amounted to over60
per cent. Houston, with its many
railroads and the prospect Of securing
a good waterway by the widening and
deepening Of Buffalo Bayou, is now in
abetter condition to grow than here
tofore and the next decade will prob
ably witness another wonderful trans
formation.

The Potato Worm.

During the past four or five years
there has been a pestiferous worm
that has been causing sweet potato
growers in this parish no end Of
trouble. The bug bores its way into
the potato s short time before the.
potato is ready to be transferred from
the field to the barn or bunk and plays
havoc with the esculent. When7 the
worm finishes tunneIing the potato,
the worm Is found to be in a %particu-
Iarly robust condition, but the potato
presents a sad spectacle, and is poor
food Tor even hogs. These worms
are SO troublesome in some sections
of the parish that the farmers shave
had to abandon the raising Of sweet
potatoes.
