Another heavy rain fell Sunday
evening. the gravitation was OF
several inches. It caused the
Teche to rise more than twelve
inches, which wac already very
high. The Teche is about fifteen
feet higher than low water tide.
The planters report that they were
not in need of this last heavy rain.
They now need several days OF
good hot sunshine to make the
crops grow, and fair weather to be
able to work the land and keep
the grass from growing. The
stand of all crops from every Sec
ton is reported as being very
good; favorable weather is the on
ly thing the planters are wishing
for.
