Faster Schedule ON the VALLEY

Persons who have occasion to travel
over the Mississippi Valley Railroad
between New Orleans and Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge at 6:35 O'Clock, and train
No. 10, which leaves Baton Rouge at
$50 a. m. and reaches New Orleans at
o:l5, will, on the adoption of the new
schedule, make the run in exactly two
hours. Improved service will also be
Instituted on the locals. Train No, %.

Crop Comment. !.

The weather man has at last
awakened to a realization of the error
of his ways and is atoning for the
scuegy manner in which he treated us
for over a month by handing out the
prettiest kind Of pretty weather. With
the exception Of a light shower early
| Tuesday morning and couple of
little furries yesterday, no rain of any
consequence has fallen since Friday of
| last week, and marked improvement
is noticeable in the spirits of the
agriculturisSs and the people gener.
ally. Business has picked up eopsid-
erably and there is increased actisity
on every side.
It is the consensus of opinion among
conservative and reliable cotton faro
ers that the crop has suffered loss
Of twenty-five or thirty per cent dur
ing the past three weeks, due TO she'd
ding caused by the recent constant
rains. This is specially the case in
the New River section of the parish,
which seeds out reports from the most
authentic sources of serious injury to
the crop. Planters along the river
and in the western portion of the par
ish generally do not seem to have sus-
tained as great loss as those in New
River, but there is no doubt that the
crop has been materially shortened in
all sections.
The fair weather is proving Of in
calculable value to the rice planters,
whose crops were in imminent dan
ger OF. serious injury from the re-
cent rains. The work of harvesting
the cereal is being pushed with all
possible rapidity, and the prospects
for. a heavy yield are fattering.
Among the finest crops in the parish
may be mentioned Waguespack, schex-
naydre & Company's on Stella planta-
tion, and George B. Reuss's on Ger
mania and Elise plantations.
Cane is doing so we'll that there is
nothing to say of it, except that its
condition is more than satisfactory TO
the planters. With favorable weather
from now on the crop should be
record breaker, both as to tonnage
and yield Of sugar.
Local Observer Park states that the
mercury climbed up to "a degrees on
the 18th inst, which is the maximum
for the month thus far.
