Adjacent Maryland and Virginia furnish
a large proportion of the green's sold in
the local market for the holiday festiv-
tiles. But il Is mainly from the south.
especially from the mountains of North
Carolina and Tennessee. that the florists
of the capital are supplied with mistle-
toe. that dainty bough around which
clings much legendary superstition and
romance. II is also true that some of the
mistletoe which the sentimental maid ties
with red ribbon beneath the chandelier
in the dmly lighted hall has been ship
ped in from New Jersey.
About December 10 numerous large bar
rels begin To arrive in quick succession at
the big white station. The rushed and
busy representatives of the railroad and
express companies have little time to
think of romance. so they handle the
huge packages of sentiment i'm the proSaic
spirit with which they roll around the
barrels of flour. The mistletOe Is packed
by suspending generous branches i'll a
case especially intended for the purpose
holly may be packed tight and fiat in a
box without marring it, but the more
delicate parasite must hang downward.
Exposed TO the air the mistletOe and holly
keep fresh and green equally as long.
orders for the mistletoe are booked long
in advance by the florists. and the busy
time OF the year for those whose duty il

Another Sugar Factory In
St. Martin Parish.
(LOuieiana Planter.)

tin in tho way of securing ade-
quate subscriptions for the con-
struction of a sugar factory among
tho cane growers directly interes-
ted there. whose cane crops 20 now
to other factories by railroad. 1t
is proposed in a given locality to
erect the factory within reach of q
sufficient number of cane growers
so that the factory may be worked
to its capacity with cane produced
by growers adjacent thereto and
thus it is expected to save tho rail-
road freight and this saving 10 the
basis of tho stock subscription to
the factory. For instance If tho
factory should handle 10000 tons
of cane per snnum, at 80 cents per
ton freight there would be $780,
600 in stock paid for annually and
this in a few years would liqui-
date the cost of a factory capable
of handling 10000 tons of cane
with comparative ease.
The experiment is quite novel
one. In tho Older days Of the su-
gar industry it Was the custom a.
the cane fields increased in size to
build sugar factories on tho back
lands in order to have q less haul
for tho sugar cane. The sugar
factories were carried to tho cane
fields. With the advent Of the
tram railway the central factory
became possible and that now is
the system of sugar manufacture
adopted generally throughout the
world. In the French West In.
dies, where cane sugar central fac.
tories where first introduced, each
factory had it's own tram way and
received sugar cane anywhere on
it's lines on the same basis as
though the cane wore delivered at
tho factory. In this way those
within easy hauling distance of
the factory were seemingly less
we'll treated than those more dis
! tant, with whom hauling by cart
or wagon would have boon impos-
sibls. Without the railway, how
ever, tho factories themselves
would have been impossible and
. therefore this regulation Of paying
the same price for distant and
nearby cane would seem thorough
. ly justifable and has been the
: common practice of late.
The progressive citizens of St.
Martin parish are changing back
. to the old plan of carrying the gu.
gar factory to the cane fields and
with the present culture of sugar
cane it is very possible that enough
d cane can be produced within q "a.
dius of two miles of a sugar facto.
ry to justify it's erection. A circle
with radius of two miles would
represent an area of some seven
=. thousand acres. All of this may
not be arabic or drained land, but
,, it would appear that in all proba'
3 bility the high lands of St. Martin
:. parish can be sufficiently vel
i drained to supply factory of con.
;, siderable size, say 10000 or $4,000
tons of sugar cane and sufficient te
: justify its erection and the plan
proposed would seem to be a feast.

Iberia Strongly Endorses d.
vorcing of the two Rivers:
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY POLICE
JURY AND DELEGATION 100 NAMED.

New Iberia, La, April 8. The
following resolution relative to the
livorcing of tho Red and Atchafa-
ava rivers from the Mississippi
we're adopted at meeting OF the
police jury yesterday, and 100 de-
egates were named to go to Baton
Rouge to attend tho meeting OF
the Mississippi River Commission
on April 90:
"Whereas tho waters OF the Mis-
sissippi river of recent years have
been showing q tendency to take a
short cut through Old river and
the Atchafalays river to tho gulf
"Whereas water will inevitably
make its own bed in the direction
of the shortest cut, which through
Old river and tho Atehafalsys is
only one-fourth the distance COM
pared to the distance to the Gulf
of Mexico through the Mississippi;
Whereas the discharge OF wa
ter through Old river lessons tho
rapidity of tho current Of tho
Mississippi from Old river to the
gulf, thereby precIpitating silt and
Swallowing the Mississippi, the
waters of which will in the course
of time empty entirely through it's
rapidly deepening outlet;
"Whersas the Atchafalsya is
not levied, AMI the chain of lakes
through which it's flow render n
lsvee ssytsm difficult Of perfection;
RICH LANDS DESTROYED.
"Whereas there are approx
mately 100000 acres of land, the
richest in the world, in the Atcha-
falaya Basin inundated by the
yearly increasing volume OF water
pouring through Old river from
the Mississippi, which lands are
yielding little revenue to state or
parish and none toths owners. and
are being dspopulated;
Whereas only q few years ago
tho best agricultural results we're
obtained on some Of these lands in
the parishes of Iberville, Pointe
Coupee, Assumption. Ascension,
Lafourchs, st. Mary, Iberia and
st. Martin. thus illustrating the
rapid change of the course of the
waters of tho Mississippi, which
should alarm tho people of New
Orleans and tho lower Mississippi
river;
DIVORCE WOULD BRING RELIEF.
"Whereas the closing of Old ri.
yer would be the carrying out Of
the original plan of the Plaque.
buemine locks project and tho car
ryipg out of the now demonstrated
Eads theory of deepening the
Mississippi river, at the same time
affording relief to large portion
of the suffering people of the At
chafalaya Basin, whose lands are
yearly inundated, restore to cult
walton the most fertile lands in ths
world, thus adding wealth to thu
state end prosperity to a now po
verty-stricken people, and saving
the state and her people million'
of dollars which, in the event o.
old river is not closed, must b.
spent in erecting levses on tho At
cbafalaya river;
Whereas the Mississippi Rive
Commission will meet in Batol

people interested;
