gineer be engaged to act with tne
engineer recently appointed by ST.

made. Gus J. Labarre was given the
right to dredge Bayou Alcide. The
sum of $50 was appropriated to build
a bridge at Pierre Part. The police

Memphis, Tcnn.-ExccssIvc rainfall
has caused much grass in cotton nrl'ls

last week. the rains wer" very h'a'y,
washing the uplands and flooding the
lowlands. The acreage in the state has
been decreased as a result.
West OF the Mississippi river the crop
is in fair condition, reports from oK'a'

rainfall west Of Arkansas and LOUISIANA
except along the coast OF Texas, has MOI
been excessive. Parts of Texas are de
fcient in moisture, but the plant looks
we'll, and is growing.
The plant generally is smaller thal
last year, but where not overrun VIII
grass or submerged is healthy.
