cron and Weather Notes.

Heavy showers fell in various sections
Of the parish every day this week exert
Sunday, and although The Chief has not
heard whether the preeipitations covered
the entire parish we assume it is safe TO
state they did, since they were SO frequent
and of such voluminousness that it doesn't
seem likely they could have picked out
any one locality to pass up. The down
pours proved of much benefit to the crops,
which have been greatly reviyiIied and
are now coming up as nicely as could be
desired
The crop outlook at Evan Hall is re-
ported by Hon. Henry Mccall as far from
being as encouraging as could be wished
for. There hasn't been a real good rain
in that vicinity for four months. and as
consequence neither cane nor corn is as
well advanced in growth and as thrifty in
appearance as would have been the case
if fairer share of Hoisture had been
vouchsafed. Stubble tane is in better
condition than plant, Snd fall plant shows
a better stand than spring plant. Rain is
very badly needed at Evan Hall and III
that part of the parish.
! George B. Reuss gives a somewhat more
favorable account Of the situation on Ger
mania and adjacent plantations. AL
/ though rain has been quite as iairequent
and insufficient there as in other portions
of Ascension, the crops are in fairly good
condition and give promise of average
, Yields. The dry weather has not been by
any means an unnixed evil, since it has
afforded ample opportunity for thorough
cultivation and enabled the ploW and hoe
: gangs to keep down the grass and weeds
that grow so rapidly and luxuriantIy a

which would have been very much il

Enen Great inventions Went A-Bessins,
Sixty-five years ago, on the first Of April,
Professor Robert Morse, accompanied by
his associates, stood before congress and
offered to sell the patents on the elecus c
telegraph for 100000 After q long and
bitter debate. congress appropriated $780,
900 for the construction Of line between
Washington and Baltimore in order that
the merits of the invention might be fully
tested.
1t is recorded that President Polk
thought the invention good thing for the
government to own, but the postmaster
general, in long report, gave as his
opinion that the revenues could never BE
made to cover the expenditures in the
telegraphing of messages. Today, in this
country alone, the Morse systems are
capitalized at S220.000,000.
But this little anecdqte is seldom told
by the officials Of the western Union
Telegraph CoInpans. for it is a matter OF
history that Prof. Alexander Graham Bell
offered to sell his telephone patents to the
telegraph company for the paltry sum OF
$4,000, but the officials Of that company
only smiled and declared the invention a
toy with no commercial value, Today
there are more than five million tele-
phones in use in this country earning
$3.50 100000 annually.

SYRIANS ARE
MUCH PLEASED.
Believe Silk Culture Win Pay HandsomeIYs
Agricultural Experts in mississippi
Are KeenlY Interested in Ex-
periments Being Made
at Picayune

Planters, business men. and the state
agricultural experts of Mississippi are TAX
ing keen interest in the efforts of K.
Joseph and H, Elliot of Picayune, who
are essaying to put upbn a profitable basis
the culture of silk worms,
K. Joseph and H. Elliott are Syrianss
In their homes they learned thoroughly
the practice governing silk worm culture
Arriving in Mississippi, their experiments
were directed to adapting their knowledge
of the peculiarities of the Mississippi soil
and climate. This, they say, was uneX-
pectedIy simple. They believe mulberry
trees grow better in Picayune than almost
anywhere else, attaining healthy stature
and leafy tops in unusually short times
The mulberry tree is an essential part of
the culture of the silk worm. since the
worm feeds on the leaves and win thrive
on no other food.
Past efforts to make profitable the prc@
duction of silk in the United States have
uniformly failed simply because the cost
of reeling the silk from the coCoons has
been too great for competition with the
cheap labor of Japan and India. TIE
Syrian experimenters claim to have over
come this difficulty. They say that with
a device they are using the silk is un
reeled easily and perfectly, and as cheapy
as underpaid labor in the Orient can ac-
complish the task by hand methods.
Eastern mills have guaranteed to take
our entire product they say, "at a figure
which insures us good profit"
w. B. Hardeson of Carriere, Miss, a
planter, has co-operated with the Syrians
enthusiastically, and promises next year
to put about 1909 acres of his plantation
into mulberry trees.
A letter to Gov. Noel enlisted his inter-
est in the experiments, and he has called
the attention of the State Agricultural
College to the project The agricultural
college undoubtedly will assist il the work.
An effort is also being made to enlist the
support of the federal government.
d Kali Joseph one Of the expsrimenterss
formerly resided in this city. having con-
Quoted store here for number Of years.
Mr.. Joseph recently wrote to S. H. St.
Martin, of Donaldsonyille with the object
Of enlisting Mr. st. Martins assistance in
securing a site in this vicinity for the
planting Of mulberry orchard and in or
ganizing a company to manufacture silk
according TO the Joseph and Elliott pro-
cess. A skein of the raw silk was en-
closed in the letter, and shows long,
golden strands of good color and fine tex
ture. MIR. St Martin turned the commu-
nication over to The Chief, which III turn
transmitted it to the Progressive Union,
and the latter body is now in cofnmnnica-
ton with Mr.. Joseph concerning the prop
osition to establish mulberry farm near
this city and construct a factory for the
manufacture of the silk.
