Weather and croD Notes.

The following paragraphs are culled
from this weeks Ascension letter to
the Louisiana Planter:
1.-THE spirits of planters and farmers
are reviving wonderfully under the in
auence of spell of favorable and
seasonable weather, and in conse-
quence a more optimistic feeling OBJ
tains than has been the case for many
long and weary weeks. The untoward
conditions that have existed since the
early part of April undoubtedly
caused a falling off in crop prospects
of from twenty to twenty five per cent
as compared with the rem arkab fine
outlook that prevailed prior to that
time, but so far as sugar cane is con-
cerned there are still indications of a
fine outcome if reasonably favorable
weather is vouchsafed from this time
forward. OF course the crop is very
grassy, but a few days of persistent
effort will remedy this defect and re-
store the fields to appie-pie order.
John w. Tucker, manager of the
Miles Company's New Hope and AS
cension plantations, was IN Donald
sonville Wednesday to attend the
meeting Of the Bank of Donaldson
ville's directory, and reported that
field work is in full blast in his neigh
borhood. He says he has seen better
conditions in former years, and also
very much worse ones, which is in
terpreted to mean that there is no par
ticular cause for complaint as to the
state OF the crops in upper Ascension.
81. r. Saxon, another member of
the Miles Company's efficient mana.
gerial corps, who paid brief visit to
Donaldsonville Wednesday morning
in company with his estimable little
family, says the crop situation in the
Burnside neighborhood is not near SO
bad as it might be, and that with
continuance of good weather there
may yet be something doing in the
way of a satisfactory cane output.
The corn crop, however, is considered
to be total failure.
Hon. Henry Mccall, collector of
customs at the port of New Orleans,
came up Saturday evening to spend
few days at his ancestral home on
Evan Hall plantation, returning to the
Crescent City Tuesday forenoon. He
thinks the cane crop has been con-
siderably damaged by the recent heavy
rains, but could not say with accuracy
to what extent. y

Southern Railway, has returned to New
Orleans from the Confederate veterans
reunion at Richmond and the smes-
town exposition at Norfolk with en-
thusiastic reports of the accomplished
success of the one and the brilliant
prospects of the other. He says the

expectation in its extent and attract

nouncement that, irrespective of party
lines or political considerations of any
character, we are for a Louisiana man
for president first, last and all the
time.
It isn't the presidency of the United
States to which we refer, however, but
the oficeof president of the Travellers
Protective Association of America,
and the Louisiana man we are supports
ing for that position is Louis Ochs of
New Orleans, who has received the
unanimous and enthusiastic endorse
ment of his local organization, Post
B, and also of the state convention OF
the Louisiana division,
Mr.. ochs is in every particular well
qualified for the place, and has richly
earned promotion by his activity and
zeal in behalf of the objects for which
the Travellers Protective Association
was founded. No member OF the guild
in this state has worked harder or ae
complished more in this respect than
he, and in the enlarged field which the
presidency of the association would
open TO him his conspicuous abilities
and untiring energy would be exerted
with relatively increased benefit aud
advantage to the organization through
out the country at large.
The national convention, which is to
meet at Norfolk, Va, week after next,
will make no mistake By electing Louis
Qehs, the Louisiana hustler, to be next
president of the Z. r. a.
