weather and Crop Notes.

s
The weather of the past week has been
just what was needed from an agricultural
dry and moderately
warm and it may be imagined that the
planters were not slow to take advantage
Of these desirable conditions to give their
crops the much-needed cultivation OF
which they had been deprived on account
of the prolonged wet spell. Field work
was started as soon as the ground had
dried sufficiently TO permit satisfactory re-
suits, and has been vigorously prosecuted ]
throughout the week. Much progress has
been made in the important task, and the
crops present greatly improved appear
ance since being freed of grass and hav-#
Ing the earth about their roots loosened
and worked.
Reports from various sections of the.
parish, and particularly the New River
region, are to the effect that young corn
was somewhat injured by the incessant
rains and is looking yellow and unhealthy,
but from all directions word comes that
the cane crop is in splendid shape ard
seems to have Withstoad the wet spell
without turning a hair. As general
rule the outlook for all crops Is distinctly
promising, and if the weather man will
only be on his good behavior from this
time on the planters and farmers will not
find it difficult to forgive him for his re-
cent harsh treatment Of them,
Fred, Werner, Jr., returned last week
from CeiDa Hueca, Cuba, where he has

as chief sugar-boiler of the big Teresa
Central factory. He was accompanied
home by his mother, who went to Cuba
last winter to remain with her husband
while he was engaged in taking off the
crop OF the extensive Cape Cruz Central
plantation at Ensenada de Moro, which
undertaking Mr.. Werner. ST., has accom-
plished with signal ability and success fur
a number of years past. Young MIR. Wer-E
ner reports that the Teresa Central mill
finished grinding Saturday, April ", after
turning out approximately n 1881 bags Of
sugar weighing 1926 pounds each. The
campaign was smooth and uaeyentful
Mrs. Werner would have remained with
her husband until tile termination of the
campaign at Cape Cruz had it not been

Werner, viii graduate from the Donald-

REPUBLICAN OFFICTt.s cslPLl-
MENTED.

judging from the many complimentary
expressions noted in the Louisiana press
President Taft made very excellent Sc
lection of a collector Of customs for the
mort Of New Orleans when he nominated
Clarence S. HILBERT of Iberville parish 70
succeed Hon. Henry Mccall of ASCENSION
and by The same token MFR. Hebert was
equally fortunate in his designation OF a.
special deputy collector - bentley
of Ascension who occupied the like posi-
ton under Collector Mccall during the
eight years of the latters two admins
trations.
The fact that Messrs. Hebert ana
Bentley are well known Republicans OF
long standing, while the newspapers that
speak so highly of them are uncompro-
Inisingly Democratic almost without e1
eeption, renders these compliments all the
more notable and justjfies the presump-
ton that they are both sincere ana Wen
deserved.
The following from the lberville SOUTH
published in mfr. Hebert's home town, IS q
fair sample of the numerous nice Things
recently said Of the new collector and ms
special deputy by our contemporaries OF
the state press
"The appointment and installation Of
Han. Clarence S. Hebert as collector OF
customs at New Orleans places IN the
highest federal office in Louisiana g
Young gentleman OF excellent qualifica-
rions, OF fine character, and OF such en-
ergy and ability as this important and
responsible governmental position should
always be required to have. A native
IberyiIlian and a lawyer OF splendid at
tainments, MIR. Hebert steps from the as
sistalt treasurer's office to the collector s,
succeeding Mr.. Henry Mccall, and all Ills
numerous friends in Iberville congratu-
late him upon his appointment BY Pres
dent Taft and upon his installation IN
his new position on the 1st inst.
1.-THE re-appointment Of Special Deputy
Collector T. E. Bentley by Mr.. Hebert IS
just recognition Of the splendid services

and whose attention to affairs connected
with his office is marked with that
