WEATHER AND CROPS
Corn and Grain Throughout the South
Have Improved Almost as Much as
Has the Cotton Crop.

New Orleans Picayune: The past
week has been period of almost per-
feet weather for the growing crops.
There has been but little rain and none
was needed, as an abundance of rainfall
had been received during the preceding
week Warmer and fair weather was
the rule, and that was just what was
wanted to permit thorough cultivation
of the fields and to give the young cot
ton good start There was brief pc
riod Of very high temperature in west
ern Texas, while in North Carolina
there was some complaint of cold
weather, but both these conditions have
since been modified
AS a result of excellent weather for
several weeks past, the cotton crop has
prospered everywhere, and is rapidly
catching up the time lost earlier in the
spring through excessive cold and lack
of sufficient moisture. In the western
belt, particularly in Texas, the reports
are of the most glowing description
While in the central and eastern por-
tions of the belt the reports are a trife
less glowing, they are none the less sat
iSfactory, so that taken as whole the
cotton belt now holds out the possibil-
ity of large crop this year, provided,
of course, the weather conditions con-
tinue favorable.
The corn and grain crops throughout
the South have improved almost as
much as the cotton crop. More acreage
than usual has been devoted to corn, as
well as to other grain crops, and there
is now every reason to believe that the
South will make good crops of food
stuffs, even though the cotton acreage
has also undergone moderate increase
in most states.
The rice crop of Louisiana is making
favorable progress, particularly the river
crop, where acreage has been somewhat
increased. In western Louisiana and
eastern Texas the crop is now doing
better, although it was set back a good
deal during the recent drouth. There
has been a reduction in acreage in thai
section, which has probably been offset
by increases in the river district and il
other States.
Since the rains, the Louisiana sugar
crop has been making splendid progress
Even the plant cane, which suffered
from the drouth, is picking UP in ;
promising manner, and is not in nearE
SO unfavorable a. condition as was a
one time feared. Under the influence O
the warmer weather the growing can;
is forging ahead in most promising
way, and if conditions prove Favorable
from now On, there is no reason to ex
pect other than a good harvest.

AN EXTRA SESSION
1t May Be Held About October One and
Will Be Limited to Twenty Days.
The Governors Succession Will Not
Be Proposed.

In a special to the States from Baton
Rouge it is said that there will be an
extra session of the Legislature, that
the date will be about October I, and
that the term will last about twenty
days, was confirmed to a representative
of the States by Governor Sanders be
fore his excellency went to New Or
leans yesterday.
The fact that the Governor had the
extra session in contemplation was print
ed in this correspondence several weeks
ago. The first authoritative statement
on the subject was, however, Mr.. Hen
riques' announcement to the ways and
means committee on Thursday.
Primarily the extra session will be to
take up the work of the taxing commits
sion and the reports of the two coda
commissions If, however, any import
ant legal action fails at this regular ses.
sion for want of time the Governor viii
include it in the call.
The bills for constitutional amend
ments and the enabling acts will all b;
prepared in advance and their scop;
made public, so that there may be ampl,
discussion. The Governor thinks tn
work can very well be completed il
twenty days and that the cost will b
comparatively small. Only limiter
clerical force will be required.
/ The amendments can not be voted OF
until the general election in April 1912
Under the Constitution amendment

Lake Charles. La, June 6.-Sentenee

"CLEAN RACING"
Is Denounced in Emphatic Words by
James H. Blenk, Archbishop of New
Orleans-Pronounced Views of the
Heads of the Churches of the City

The Caucasian is already on record
against what some of the citizens OF
New Orleans, and among the number
Mayor Behrman, style clean racing
and honest racing" On this issue,
which is pending in the Legislature on
| the attempt to repeal or modify the
Locke bill, James H. Blenk, Archbishop
of New Orleans, calls on the Catholics
to prevent a revival of racing in an ad-
dress as follows:
Il deem that a revival of race track
gambling would be greater curse to
New Orleans than a yearly visitation of
yellow fever, because this revival would
be the result of the efforts of our own
people working for the shame and ig-
noniny Of this city. Clean racing is as
impossible as a clean brothel and the
two are known to work hand in hand
wherever they have foothold.
Il can positively assert that the alb
sence of this curse of race track gam
bling from New Orleans has been not
only spiritual and moral gain, but has
also proved to be real financial ad-
vantage.
.I can not conceive that our people
will allow themselves to be deceived by
those interested in a few concerns that
throve on the shame and blood-rnoney
of the people to sell blindly- the name
and honor Of the city and State. And
this is precisely what the bringing back
of race horse gambling would mean
4 call upon all good Catholics-mer
and women-to rise. in their might and
indignation against the perpetration oi
this contemplated crime against our
children, our homes, and everything else
worth striving for
JAMES H. BLENK,
Archbishop of New Orleans.
In this protest the archbishop i.
joined by the clergy of the various de
nominations
i The head of the Episcopal diocese O
louisiana said:
Suppose that betting on horse racing
could be put under local control, on tn
| system asserted to be the fairest on tn

/ Does it want it Is it good business tt

Why should not Dudenhefer and
Gowland talk with folks on the streets
Are they not being treated as gntlemen
instead of convicts?
They are employed in the office of
the Board of Control of the Penitentiary
on Third street in the heart of the bus
mess district
In defense of the Board of Control
it is stated that the services of thes2
convicts are required in the Offices 1t
is also asserted that to put them in con
vict garb, in going to and from the
prison, would make stripes too common,
and make it impossible for citizen t2
tell whether a man wearing stripes was
a trusty or All escaping prisoner"
This excuse is neither sensible nor
plausible. Perhaps if those convicts
were required to wear stripes their pres
ence in such attire would jar the officials
and the employees in the office.
Why should these two convicts be ex-
empted or excepted from the discipline
of the prison?
Other penal institutions make use OF
,trusties and send them about on the
streets of cities where prisons are 10
Gated, but a trusty is known by the uni
form he wears. 1t is not so conspicuous
as that of prisoner kept under guard
but it is distinctive enough to have ev-
erybody notice that the man is undergo
ing punishment, which is something NJ
one can tell from the clothes of Duden-
hefer and Gowland."
