Plant More Corn.

The Avoyelles Blade gives the
following sensible and timely ad-
vice, and we commend it to the
planters of St. Landry:
Corn and oats are now selling
at prices beyond the reach Of the
prudent farmer. Not because the
crops have been light in the west
ern or grain-growing States, but
simply from the fact that the
cereals are bought by spectators,
and what in common parlance are
called "corners are effected
against the purchasing class. In
this parish, especially on the hill
or table lands, no corn worth
mentioning has been made dur
ing the past two years. Unpre-
cedented drouths have made it
impossible to grow this impor-
tant factor to successful farming,
and with the opening of another
crop year the cribs are empty, the
stock must be fed, and fed gen.
erousIy, and how can this be done
with ruling prices.
The situation is one that calls
for serious thinking on the part
of the frugal farmer, and he must
devise some means to tide over
his present difficulties. He may
be compelled to involve a goodly
portion of the money that he ex-
poets to realize from the coming
cotton crop; in fact it is difficult
to figure out otherwise.
However, from present high
and ruinous prices he should
gather Il wholesome lesson, and
that is, to plant u large acreage
of corn, to SOW an abundance of
peas, to prepare a plat of ground
for hay purposes, and to plant
largely of sweet potatoes, tuber
that will yield abundantly and
that is excellent food for man
and beast.
From adversely we gather les
sons of wisdom. In failures we
learn how to guard against repe-
titions. We hope that all Of our
planters will make ready to re-
sumo their former independence
from northern bins and pack
houses, and by letting the grain
spectators alone to their nefa-
rious occupations they will help
alike themselves and the country.

repealed their former ordinance
fixing liquor license at $4,000, and
adopted an ordinance placing it

also have to pay 500 State license
and $25 revenue license, making
it cost him $3525 license to sell

The Confederate Reunion.

The Confederate Veterans Re-
union in New Orleans next May
will undoubtedly be the greatest
event of the kind that has ever
been held, and in all probability
that will ever be held. 1t will be
welcome news to the thousands
of old veterans in this parish to
learn that the railroad has made
a most liberal rate for the occa-
sion, and will sci! round trip
tickets from Opelousas to New
Orleans and return at 1885. This
low rate is also good for the fam
lilies and friends of the old vet
Grams. Tickets will be on sale on
the 18th and 10Th of May, and
will be good to return as late as
the Oath of the same month. If
the Confederate Veterans and
their families and friends in this
parish will cooperate with Mr..
Owen, the efficient agent here,
they may be enabled to secure a.
special train from Opelousas
either on the 18th or 18th, and
attend the reunion in a body, and
at the same time avoid over
crowdlng on the cars. We make
this suggestion this early in order
that those who contemplate MAX
ing the trip will have ample time
to think the matter over and give
Mr.. Owen chance to make suit
able provisions to accommodate
the crowd.

Louisiana increases the value of
every acre of land in the State

lighter, people will be wealthier,
