ESTHER, La, June D, 19O2.
Editor MERIDIoNAL:
| now ask the privilege of little
of your space in order to say a few
words in behalf of our fair but rather
remote part of the country which
seems, to be entirely unrepresented in
the columns of your newsy and enter
prising paper.
This country, like all others, has
its drawbacks, and at present they
are manifested in the form Of multi
tudinous, pestiferous mosquitoes
which are the bane Of all animal life.
But in spite of the many obstacles in
the way of its progress this country
is gradually coming to the front and
claiming place Of honor in the
industrial world. Formerly known as
the s'Little end of nowhere" this
section has undergone its first stages
of evolution in assuming the spotless,
Biblical name of Esther, and where
were once the ..'happy hunting
grounds of the Attakapas Indians.
and waste prairies where wild cattle
and other animals peculiar TO the
place roamed at will, has since deyel-
oped into thrifty farms and rice
/ plantations.
The rice crops are fine and give
promise of a rich harvest. Four
pumps have now been running for
some time past and the water is be-
ginning to get salty. In order to get
a supply of fresh water, E. Mouton
intends pumping from the marsh on
the east of his place as soon as the
necessary machinery can be placed.
j. Z. Wright's rice fields are
thrifty and show signs of good irriga-
ton.
The owner of Edith plantation in
conjunction with Mr. Womac1 is con-
templating erecting saw mill here
soon and swampers are already at
work telling trees.
Swimming is now the order Of the
day along the. canal on Edith planta-
tion.
While Will Hall is happily antiei-
pating the prospect of his golden
sheaves, he is, at the same time,
making some deep, mathematical
calculations as to the cheapest dis
position OF the rice birds. Alas the
rice farmer has his troubles too, and
the bird problem is anything but q

1T WAS VERY LARGE
INTO MISSOURI PASTURES.
Receipts Were Not Heavy at Any Of the
Markets and There Was a Steady
Tone to the Market

Dr. George G Moser. inspector for the
bureau Of animal industry. has returned
from Southern Missouri and Arkansas.
where he was stationed during The open
season to inspect cattle that were driven
across the line and placed on the Missouri
pastures In Craze, says the Kansas city
Drovers Telegram.
In regard to the movement of stock cattle
across the line into Missouri the doctor
said It was larger than last year. taking
into comparison the same period of time.
The season was longer last year. however.
and cattle could move during the month
of February, while this season they had
10 cease on the first of February Thus
the total movement this wear viii hardly
snow up as large as It did In 1901 A
scarcity of feed In the South had the ef-
feet of driving many cattle across the Mis-,
souri, line that would otherwise have re.
malned on their own pastures all spring
Dr. Moser further said that there is now
perfect harmony between tho government
inspection bureau and the State authorities.
Inc latter he declared, seem DESTROYS of
aiding the department In oil lis efforts IN
prevent the dissemination Of stock diseases
and therefore perfect unison is being had
on all sides
