Cane Crop.

Louisiana Planter.
Since our last issue the most
notable characteristic of the
weather has been the prevalence
of warm south winds and high
temperature for several days in
succession, this being followed
by somewhat cooler weather
later in the week. The warm
spell was not beneficial to the
cane and it was especially Objec-
tiOnable in all cases where the
freeze of the week previous had
killed the bud. The campaign is
progressing more or less spas
medically on quite a number of
places, light tonnage and lack of
labor bringing about occasional
stops, all of which is of course
unsatisfactory and expensive. 1t
is gratifying to note that fairly
favorable reports come in from
the lower portions of the sugar
district. Were the crop as bad
throughout the State as it is in
some of the parishes this cam.
paign would be a surprisingly
short and unsatisfactory one,
and many claim that this will be
the result anyway.

Lafayetteans at Shreveport Fair.

LdIayettednS AT TasT.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Alcide
JUDGE, DR.. N. P. Moss and Mr..
w. @. Martin, of the Industrial
Institute. by agreement took
their departure together for the
State fair being held at Shreve-
port, and they were joined there
by Mr.. w. A. LeROsen who had
preceded them a few days.
The main object of these gentle
men in visiting the fair was to
be present at the conference
which took place the 23rd in
slant, of parish fair officials from
the different sections of Louis
lana where annual parish fairs
have come to be a regular part of
the life of the farming and bust
ness community. and learn at
first hand of the benefits of such
fairs gained by actual experience.
so as to be able to give intelli-
gent advice and help to any
similar movement that might be
started in Lafayette parish at
some future time.
1t would have been a good
thing for the entire population of
to have listened to the
reports made by these parish
fair officials showing the many
advantages and great benefits to
the farmer, the stock-raiser, the
business men and everybody in
general, that result from the
holding of regular annual fairs.
As it was the delegation of four
Lafayette citizens came away
strongly convinced of the fact
that the people of Lafayette
parish are neglecting one of the
greatest opportunities of the
times for stimulating and inn
proving the agricultural and in
dustrial interest of the country,
by not taking hold of the parish
fair idea with great earnestness
and energy,
Mr.. Martin of the party is
particularly interested in the
subject of parish fairs because
of his extended studies and ex-
perience along agricultural lines,
and as he is now engaged in
teaching the branch of agricul-
ture at the Industrial Institute
at Lafayette he would gladly lend
every assistance in his power to
any movement directed toward
developing and improving the
agricultural conditions in Lafa-
yette parish.

On Friday November % the
first match game of basketball
took place at the Institute. The
game was close and excitement
ran high from start to fnishx
The two teams we're in excellen

the game. The Dorothy DaviS(
team had blue for their color and
the Beverly Randolph, red. The
score was 26 to 20 in favor of the

During the first half the blues
were ahead, but in the second the
reds caught up. Excitement
prevailed and the audience were
in eager suspense until the blues
made two goals, making 6 points
ahead. The two little mascOts
viewed the game with as much
interest as their grown up at
tendants and aids.

 While we are reading so much about the canal that is to be built across the Isthmus of Panama, it may be of in- tereSt to some to know of the experi- ence of MT Errazuriz and family the last time they crossed the isthmus coming this way. When they landed on the Pacific coast they were just a little too late for the train that came across, so had to put up at hotel and wait till the next day when they ar rived at the railroad station in time, but their baggage had not come from the hotel. Speaking to the conductor about the lateness of the baggage in arriving. The conductor told him to hire another team and go after it., which MT ErraZuriz did. He then went to thank the conductor for wait- ing the train and received this reply, "Oh, that's nothing, another man has gone after his baggage in the same way" Quite an accommodating train, your correspondent would say.

BETHEL
HELD UP BY HIaHWAYMEN.

Last week Wednesday evening as M . $. Davis was returning from Bethel to his home in Plumtrees district, when near the residence of Nathan Bennett some one held him up and attempted to get into his wagon evidently to rob him. MT Davis took his whip and struck the man heavy blow across the face, causing him to fail back; he then hit his horse and was soon out of the way of the highwayman. It is only few nights ago some one tried to force their way into the home of Harry A. Hoffman near where MT Da- wis was held up, and since then some one seems to have been prOwling around, taking what they could lay their hands on. It is about time the proper authorities took the matter up and put the rascals where they should be-behind the bars.
