was alleged foreigners were held as
poems, are the largest in this sec
tion.
Mr.. Harlan is nephew of JUS
tice Harlan of the United States sup

New Drainage Canal.

An election was held at Houma, in
subdivision No: 1 Of the Prairie
Drainage District, which resulted in
favor of imposing a tax Of 25 cents
on each acre of land situated in the
subdivision for ten years. The police
jury has authorized the commission
of the district to use the dredge boat
Zoe B. and work will commence at
once on a fcrty-foot canal, ;equidis-
tant between the Bayou Terrebonne
and the Bayou Bleue. This will eff
fectually drain and bring into eulti-
vation about $1,000 acres Of land
that has always been partly submerg-
ed on account of the lack of large
canal to carry off the waters. The
drainage of this section of the par
ish of Terrebonne will increase the
cultivable area Of the parish by about
20 per cent and consequently greatly
increase the wealth and prosperity
of the parish.

One Man Killed and Six Others
Seriously Hurt.

Duluth, Minn.-One dead, and
six injured is the result of riot
which occurred at Superior, Wis,
The riot was between union and non
union men, when the steamer Berlin
tied at the Northwestern Fuel Com

touke, and he belongs to the Lake
seamen's Union. The Berlin is a
non-union boat. Soon after her ar
rival crowd of union men gather
ed at the dock and began throwing
chunks of coal and other missiles
at the captain and crew. Several of
the latter were injured more or less
severely and when the fight was at
its height, 1t is said, some one from
the boat fired a shot at the crowd
and Rouke dropped dead. This ended
the fighting.

more or 2 1-2 per cent, of the orig
inal 1921 left Information. Be
tween April 10 and April 20, 175
weevils, or 1,07 per cent of the or
lgnal number came out of winter
quarters. Between April 20 and 80.
394 more of the weevils left hiber-
nation, "a per cent Of the original
number. Out of the 1921 weevils
placed in the the cages last fall, a
total of 1850, or 1875 per cent,
have already survived the winter
and have issued from their winter
quarters in search of cotton.
Entomologist Newell, of the Com
mission considers that this is rela-
lively high survival, although, as no
such observations have heretofore
been made in central Louisiana, it
is not possible to compare this data
with data of previous years. This
makes 1t impossible therefore to
predict the extent of boil weevil
damage in central Louisiana from
these figures in a similar expert
ment made at Keatchie, De Soto
Parish, in 1905-06 by the Commits
sion the total number of surviving
weeviis was less than per cent.
The emergence at Mansura has al
ready exceeded these figures by
more than four times, and weevils
are still daily emerging from the
rubbish in the cages. The emergence
is sufficiently large SO that severe
to the crop may be expected
unless the season permits through
of the crop, and unless
hot, dry weather also prevails dur
ng June and July.

Truck Farmers Busy.

Truck farmers at Pointe-la-Hache,
are busy at digging up thei" potatoes
and preparing garlic for the market.
Potatoes are not meeting the expect
ed yield and the crop consequently,
will be much below tAat of last year.
The garlic crop is also small, but
in general is rather large and of
fine quality, which gives hope for
getting good prices. The rice plant
ers have finished sowing and, with
out exception, have fine stands.

Rice Farmers HELPLESS.

News has reached Lake Charles,
that the Mermentau river contains
brackish water as far north as a
few miles below Lake Arthur. Rice
farmers say that to irrigate with
salt water would be ruinous to them,
and unless heavy rainsg force the
water back, great damage to this
seasons crop is almost certain.
