methods of soil preparations, planting,
etc. Mr. Landry is a practical plan
ter of long experience and his advice
was timely and much appreciated as
many farmers are now turning to cane
culture. First year stubble is best for
planting, and cane must be mature.
Windrow and cover well with earth
Immediately; use slide to pack earth
on cane and as soon as weather per-
mits plant. Short stubble is not good,
long jointed cane being best, ribbon
cane was better in many respects than
red. Cotton seed meal had not given
good results, peas being the best fer
tilizer for this soil. Mr.. Landry ex-
planned why so many lost seed cane
last season through improper wind
rowing, and suggested that farmers
going into the crop proceed slowly or
take abundant advice of those who
had already learned the many princi-
pies governing it's culture. Mr.. Grew
cred too much for the land he had
found guano very good for increasing
the growth. Rows should be five feet
four inches wide and land must be
thoroughly prepared before planting.
Mr.. Perrin asked whether any one had
noticed any difference in the cane yield
in rows running east and west and
those running north and south, but no
one seemed to have observed this.
The following program was arrang-
ed for the next meeting: DR.. Dodson,
on beets as stock food; Prof Carter
or Prof. Jastremski, subject to be
chosen; j. c. Nickerson, how to culti-
vate oats; H. C. Wallis, the agricultu-
raj possibilities of an acre of ground.
DR.. Stephens invited everybody to in
spect the Institute on patrons day,
every Friday.
1t was suggested that the farmers
write to local papers giving their
views and asking questions of inter-
est to all, whereupon, Editor Brous-
sard of the Democrat, who was pres
ent, rendered the columns of his paper
for any publications of the society.
The Advertiser reporter stated that
he had attended every meeting and re-
ported the proceedings in full and
would continue to do so. The Adver-
tiser would gladly publish any article
or communication of interest to the
Club or to the farmers.

The INTEnCOASTAL
CANAL CONVENTION
Delegates From Three Parishes Meet
to Secure Change Of Route to YER
million and Teche.
OBJECT OF MEETING EXPLAINED
BY SENATOR 7. J. LAG5E.
Vermlion, Teche and Atchafalaya
Drainage End Navigation Associa-
ton Organized.

The convention Of delegates and
! representative business men from the
neighboring towns and parishes cali
ed to meet at Lafayette to consider
measures for furthering the proposi-
ticn of changing the route of the In
tercoastal Canal from the original
| line by way of Franklin to a course
by way of Vermilion river and the
Century Club last Saturday evening.
Delegates were present from St. Mar
tinville, BreauX Bridge, AbbviEle,
Broussard, Milton and Lafayette. The
convention was called to order by
Mayor C. o. Mouton who welcomed
the distinguished guests and predicted
the success of any project they might
undertake He called Senator Hen
ry l.. Gueydan of Vermilion to act as
temporary chairman and the house
voiced it's approval by generous ap-
plause. d. L. Mcpherson of Vermil-
ion was chosen temporary secretary
and the convention proceeded to bus
mess. Senator Gueydan asked Sena-
tor T. J. Liable of st. Martin, to eX-
plain the object and purposes of the
convention, which he did in a brief
but forcible address. The United
States had practically abandoned the
original route for the canal by way of
Franklin and determined on safer
and more inland course on account
of the open water of VermiliOn and
Cote Blanche bays. The shortest and
most natural route is by the way of
Vermilion river and the Teche and it
was the object of the convention to
present the advantages of this route
to the authorities and endeavor if
possible to secure it's adoption. The
people of st. Martin had begun two
immense drainage canals and one
would come within three miles of
VermiliOn river. If the route was adOp-
ted the government could have the
canal leading from Cypress Island into
the Teche, but whether this course
was accepted or not, so impressed
were the people Of ST. Martin with the
importance of these canals for drain
age and transportation purposes that
they fully intended to carry out sys-
tenn of their own, confident that the
future would prove the correctness of
