A Successful Planter.

There are probably few men in Lou
isiana who can felicitate themselves
upon achieving gre ater relative meas
ure of success in agricultural pursuits
than Klebert A. Aueoin of Ascension,
who has for some years been filling
the double role of sugar planter and
an orange farmer. Mr.. AucOin is now
beginning his thirty fifth year of SER
vice on the ST. Emma plantation in
this parish, where he took employment
as an oyerseer in 1874, became sugar
boiler in 1882, and manager and su-
gar boiler in 1888, continuing in both
capacities up to the present time.
Several years ago Mr.. Aucoin &C
uuired an interest in the RavenWood
orange grove, which is located in the
parish of Plaquemines on the Mis-
sissippi river below New Orleans and
| the profitable character of the invest
/ ment can be estimated from the APP
pended statistics concerning the oper a.
lions of the season of 1907-6, the fig"
ures being copied from the authentic
/ records in the owners possession.
! The grove comprises an area OF twenty
/ six acres, covered with 5000 bearing
trees subdivided as follows: Manda'
rine, 800; Taneerine, 300; China sweet,
1000;davels, 500; grape fruit, zoo; Sat
suma, 1000; Creole sweet, 240o. The
croD for the season of 1867 aggre-
| gated 4 2qS boxes, while that for the
| season lust past was increased to 1864
boxes, the latter output having been
| curtaiIed by at least 600 boxes On ac-
j count of excessive dampness: The
yields Of the several varieties, com
puted by boxes, was as follows: Creole
and China sweet, 2521, nayeIs, 3o9;
Satsuma, 467 Tangerines, 632; man ma,
derines, GA; grape fruit Il. The
gross sum realized from the sale OF
/ this crop was. s9446 10. The cost OF
cultivation picking, boxes. etc. was "a.
1892 so, and the expence incurred for
| labor and feed S1326, making the totaI
cost of the crop s3128 so. Dedqeting
this from the gross proceeds leaves
s6318. 10 as the years profits, or an
average of s243 per acre. How many
Louisiana plantations or farms can
make as fine showing Tor one sea-
sons operations.

Another Move in the Gonzales Depot Case
Communicated
Gonzales Ia March II 190S.


/ police in the New Orleans Times
Democrat of today that the supreme
court has granted a rehearlng 10 the
famous Gonzales depot case. do not
know what the railroad company mas
alleged in its petition for rehearlng,
but [ do know hatsthe law is very ex
plicit concerning the powers OF the
! commission in this instance. As
citizen Of this community who wishes
| to be fair and just towards all parties
| concerned, / cannot reasonably nhaef
stand what new evidence the l.. L. ano
| n Company could produce 10 Its pc
ttion for a rehearlng. Il ceftatht ~
| caunot be on account of any extra
cost to the company in building the
denot on the site designated by Inc
railroad commission, instead OF on the
site selected by the railroad otHeiais.
While I am certain that the supreme
court is just and fair to all paffles
concerned at any and alftlmes, snohia
they see ito reverse the decision OF the
lower court in this case il would GER
tainly work hardship IN this com
fnunity. Publ traffic VIC Id be forced
a half mile further across bridges ana
out 10 tberear of the town, v hen thefaii
| road runs almost throlgh he center Q.
the town, and last bus net least th'
people OF the lower Nes River section
who provide the bulk Of the business
would be compelled TO raEel one mills
further in order to reach the depot
which would mean an extra dIstanc
of two miles.
Why is it that the ra Iroad conpan!l.
wishes to place the depot naH a NIL
from the town of Gonzales on the ne :.
side of New River. when tbs only pun
lie road and practically all ofthe IT al
fic Is on the south side Of that STREAM
and almost the entire communlt
cannot understand it, and would INK
the railroad company to give It's res
sons. Very truly yours, JUSTICE
