higher prices for the staple tha
is produced than those ruling
just now.
With cane the prospect is
still fairly good. 1t obtained
a first rate stand early in the
season and the rains have not
lnJured-i IT to any appreclable ex-
tent up to date. Just now il
needs plenty of warm sunshine
and 4 dry spell so as to allow
the planters to get the grass out
but there is still a prospect of a
bumper crop, although not quite
SO early as once imagined.
Nearly all the rice section is
under water. Reports from the
planters are not encouraging.
Those who planted early will
have to plant over again and
those who have delayed putting
in their seed see no chance of
putting it in at present. The
rice lands are in bad shape all
over.
But the corn crop will be
large unless this kind of weather
lasts till July. From nearly all
sections comes the report that
whatever else may be injured
the corn has stood the seasons
trials well. Some of it in the
low black lands was injured in
the year but that has been re-
placed and the only trouble is
the grass. Still the corn has
such start that it is not likely
that it will suffer much from the
lack of cultivation at this time.
Several planters heie yester-
day and today stated that if the
sky would clear now there would
yet be time for good crops ex-
cepts in the case of cotton but if
this cold wet weather continues
the outlook is not encouraging.

THE REASON.
WHY J. c. BRADY CONTINUES To RECON-
MEND VINoL.

MEND VINoL.
First; Because it is not a patent medi
cine and it contains besides tonic iron al
of the medicinal curative elements of coo
liver oil actually taken from fresh Gods
livers, but without drop of oil to naus
cate and upset the stomach and retard its
work therefore, wherever ld.fashioned
cod liver oil or emulsions will do good
Vinol will do far more good.
Second: Because Vinol acts first upon
the stomach, creates a healthy appetite,
strengthens and tones up the digestive
organs, purifies and eniiches the blood,
and, in natural manner, restores health
and strength.
Third: Because Vinol contains no in :
furious drugs to react upon the system |.
every ingredient being named on the
label, a patient knows exactly what he
is taking.
Fourth: Because we never sold any,
thing in our store that gave such universal
satisfaction for old people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing mothers,
and to build up the system after severe
sickness, and for relieving hacking coughs,
chronic coldss bronchitis and all thrort
and lung troubles
Try Vinol on our guarantee. John r.
Taylor, Druggist.
NoTE.-While we are sole agents for
Ninol in New Iberia, it is now for sale at
the leading drug stores in nearly every
town and city in the country. Look for
the Vinol agency in your town.

SCARCE OF FRUIT HEREABOUTS

One of the products of the
soil that is scarce hereabouts Is
fruit and the medical authorities
continually preach that one OF
the most necessary articles Of
diet is fruit. Home grown
fruit is very scarce in the mar
kets hereabouts. And yet II
would be possible to grow
enough to supply the commu
nifty without trouble. As it is
all of the fruit here is from
other places.
And that fruit pays to raise
is evlnced by the history OF
other places. Take for instance
little town in Texas named
Clyde. 1t was only few years
ago that Callahan county was
included IN that territory which
was referred to as the cattle
country has been permanently
estabIished-that of fruit grow
ing and truck gardening with
this little city as its center.
Seven years ago the land in
this vicinity sold for 81 to $40
per acre, but when it was learned
that it was Sc we'll adapted to
fruit and truck growing, the
town of Clyde sprung up, and
now numbers 1900 population,
while the country for distance
of about three miles around was
planted in orchards, vineyards
and truck gardens.
Last year 5000 crates of her
rles, $500 crates of peaches,
1000 crates of plums and more
vegetables than all the fruit,
were shipped from this place.
From one vineyard 10000
pounds of grapes were gathered
from $40 vines, and three acres
of berries produced 1000 crates.
In order to handle the fruits
and vegetables that are shipped
from here, a cold storage plant,
6oxICo, has been created, and
its interior, at this season of the
year, would remind. one of the
market places in the larger
cities.
A fact often remarked by
strangers, is the neat appearance
of this city, as the residences are
all modern frame structures
we'll painted and neatly kept,
while the business district pres
ents a new, up-to-date appear
lnce.
What has been done in Clyde
S possible here. There are
ruits that will grow here in
Ibundance and little effort in
his direction would prove OF
benefit to the section. At least
he home market ought to be
with all of the fruits in
season. If that were done the
money we spend for the article
would be kept at home instead
II being sent away to add to
ONE other regions prosperity.

RAILROAD NEWS.

Matters are moving rapidly
with regard to the New Iberia,
St. Martinvile and Northern
Railroad with every indication
that there will be warm battle
and that The Southern ID Pacific,
the sworn enemy of all improve
ment in this section, will be de-
teated. At the next meeting of
the Police Jury elections for
taxes will be called in several
wards. Before that time it is
probable that the exact route
will be settled for the line above
St. Martinville.
1t is reported that to morrow
will see several officials of the
Southern Pacific passing through
here on their way to Loreauville
which rumor says is to be
promised branch S. p. Line to
keep them from voting tax for
the Port Barre line. This if true
is such thin, gauzj method OF
trying to stop a rival road that
the people say it will be of
no avail especially as it has been
decided by the New Iberia, St.
Martinville and Northern road
to run branch line to Loreau
vile and give it connection with
the outer world. Already Mr..
F. M. WEIGH, President OF the
'Evangeline'' road is at Loreau-
vile getting rights OF way for
the branch as this branch will
be In operation by June of next
year, while it is said that the S.
p. has no intention of building
there despite the promises that
ire to be made.
Several of the leading mer-
chants of the City interviewed
o-day on this latest phase OF the
southern Paci6c's effort to keep
'ut a rival. They think it
TRANCE that the S. p. having
lready all the trade of Loreau-
lille by means of its river boats
hould think of going to the ex-
'ense OF building a branch there.
Therefore they do not believe

ficial of the Southern Pacific
'ould give bonds that the line
0 Loreauville will be built if +,

But if the Southern Pacific is |
, earnest in its proposal to e
