Lafayette Parish Fair.

e OriedHS OtdlcS.
Secretary F. V. Mouton, OF the La
fayette Parish Fair Association, ad-
yises The States that a fair will be
held in the historic and enterprising
town of Lafayette during the early
days of October, and that great prep
~araticns are being made to make the
occasion one Of great success. Lafa-
yette is one of the richest agricul-
tural parishes in the State. and dur
ing recent years her people have
pushed forward along many lines OF
progress.
The great staple crops, sugar cane,
cotton, rice and corn. are cultivated
with equal success, often upon the
same farm, while it is the home of
the pecan and many of the most lus-
cious fruits. 1t is a fertile, we'll
watered parish, and the healthfulness
of the climate is attested by the long
evity Of many Of her citizens. 1t has
made greater educational progress
within the past decade perhaps than
any other parish in the state, and the
State Industrial Institute located
there with DR.. E. L. Stephens in
charge has done a great work in that
field.
Amid such prosperous environments
and backed by an enterprising and
progressive population, the Lafayette
Fair is bound to be an unqualified sue
cess.

Louisiana RlAnter:

Louisiana h3antcr
The continued hot weather during
the past week with occasional show
ers mad had a very satisfactory effect
Upon the growing cane crop, and our
planters in the country generally re
port the condition of the crop as very
satisfactory, but with some sections
still needing more rain. The torrid
heat of August and early September
enabled the cam plants to consume
an enormous amount of moisture and
without it they do not respond with
the satisfactory growth. With all the
fine weather of August here and there
we still find a latent feeling Of disap-
pointment in the present expectation
as to the probable final results of the
cane crop. Tn some sections the
stubble cane is doing exceptionally
well, although as previously reported
quite a quantity of the stubble that
appeared good in March was lost by
the late March freeze of this year.
The excessive rains at times, earlier
In the season, and the delay in getting
the plant canes properly worked out
and laid by, show their effect in the
disappointing appearance of most Of
the plant zane which is ordinarily
the greater and the best part of the
crop. Altogether the condition OF the
crop is reasonably satisfactory, but
we must remember the creole stand
ard of excellence that the canes in
November will cut for the mill no
higher than the rounded joints OF
the green cane on September first.
From that point of view which is not
always accurate there will be many
disappointing cane fields this season.
These essentials of the sugar cane
industry the corn crop and the pea
vine hay crop are now being harvest
ed rapidly. Corn can remain in the
field without much injury, but the
has crop must be harvested at the
prcrAr time or lose largely in quality.
Quite an interest is being taken
In the large corr crop in the sugar
belt, but it is manifest that its sale
at good prices to those short Of corn
Is only q question of some delay ana
proper distribution. as the sugar plant
ers have not yet reached a point
wherein they produce all the corn
they need, and therefore those with a
supply will be sure Of securing a
market with their neighbors. With
he weather now clear and cool, we
may presume that the clear days
and cool nights of September will
hasten the cane crop on to the proper
condition for the rapidly approaching
harvest.

EVERYBODY SHOULD COOPERATE

The tine for holding the Parish
Fair is rapidly approaching, only about
a month remains. folding the first
fair is always more difficult than sub
seuuent ones, cad especially so when
preparations are started rather late.
Fer which reason all those contem-
plating making entries should do so
as promptly as possible, so as not to
rush a mass Of work upon the secre-
taries at the last moment, as they will
be greatly crowded with attending to
details just before opening time.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested In the fair and there is
every promise of success, but that
there may be no doubt whatever OF
complete success everybody should
exert hiEse,f to do everything posi-
Bile toward contributing to that de-
sirable result. Those who can enter
exhibits should do so at once and
begin preparations to that end.
In addition to the various erhibits
called for In the catalogue it would
prove of great interest if there could
be a department wherein family heir
Icons, relics, curiosities in the way
Of ancient furniture, mementoes of
the past and such could be shown.
This would add interest and prove an
interesting feature.
Success with this fair, and it no
doubt will be a success, will make it
all the easier and more profitable to
hold a fair this year, and therefore
everybody should actively cooperate
to assure success and prevent even
a semblance Of failuge.

JAPANESE TREATY
IS HARD PROBLEM
Effort Will Be Made to
Avoid lingo" Influences
in Consideration.

Facing some enbarrassments which
make the task difficult. but determined
that nothing shall interfere with their
success. the foreign offices Of Washing
ton and Tokyo are approaching the time
when they must get down 70 the bust-
ness Of negotiating a renewal of the ex-
listing treaty arrangements, including
the stipulatiops concerning the exclu-
sion of japanese from the United States.
Tokyo, it is explained. is anxious to
make all concessions it can without d
sacrifice OF setf-respeCt. Both govern
ments are DESTROYS OF avoiding noise
and publicity in connection with the ne
gottattons because Of the fear that lingo
influences will be set at work TO make
the agreement more difficult.
The expiration of the treaty which
includes the exclusion arrangements
viii come in about a year, and there is
every reason to believe that the visit
Of Ambassador Takahira to his own
country and of Ambassador O'Brien to
Washington at this time are occasioned
by the wish Of each government to con-
fer with its representative before the
negotiations are taken up.
The japanese government more than
a year ago established regulations Gov
ertng the emigration of citizens of the
coolie class which were designed to
make II impossible for them to come
TO the United States. From time to
time, for some months, there was insist
ence on the acific coast thsst these reg
ulations were being badly administered
and were Of practically nc effect But
more recently it has bee.. conceded that
the Tokyo government has been work
ing IN entire good faith and with ex-
cellent effect to keep its people at home.
As result, there has been a decided
lul IN the storm OF prejudice on the
western coast. But the business .re-
yivai, causing renewed demand for Ia
Dor on the coast and in the inter-moun-
tain country, is already inspiring in
creasing numbers of enterprising Jana
nese with ambition to get into the
United States, and this threatens 10 add
difficulty
Japan IS perfectly willing to keen out
its people. but IL doesn't want to submit
TO the humiliation Of having the United
states keep them out. This Government
perfectly appreciates Japanese suscepti-
DIltles IN this regard, and Is anxious Ia
make terms which viii on the one side
be efective, and on the other satisfac-
tory from the standpoint of japanese
feelings. The negotiation is not EXPECT
ed to be easy, but 1t is thought that the
matter will be arranged in the end and
placed on more permanent basis than
1t now is,
