Clean Up, Clean Up. That should
be the slogan Of every man, woman
and child in Welsh, until our insight
ly places are made to present the APP
peurance that they ought to. AS a
matter OF pride in our city, every
property owner ought to clean up his
property, cut the grass, rake up the
old rubbish, cart off the tin cans and
other evidences that marks property
as belonging to shiftless ne'er-dO-
we'll. This spirit should predominant
in the hearts of our people, and we
are pleased to say that it does in
many, at all times, but in view Of the
fact that the State board Of health is
soon to inspect our city, we should
give the matter Of cleaning up, our
especial attention. DR.. Bowling, pres
ident of the State board of health, and
his corps Of assistants, will spend the
greater part OF II day in Welsh, in the
near future, as they have been doing
in the various cities throughout the
state, and his report of conditions
here will make eithe" for or againss
the good name and progress of the
town. While we believe that Wells h
is kept in as good condition as the
majority of the towns in the state, it
could be kept in better shape, and a
few hours work by the property own
ers of the town, would add much to
the attractiyeuess of its appearance.
Clean Up. Again we say clean up.
Let US surprise the officials of the
health train by showing them at least
one city that has enough civic pride to
keep clean, without being ordered to
do so by the State board CT health.

in salaries and fees, anywhere from
thirty to sixty thousand dollars annu-

have been occurring throughout the
parish, during the past few months,
Or, in fact, during the past several
years. Within short time there has
been robberies in practically every

TO apprehend the perpetrators Of these

but Notwithstanding their carelessness
and Indifference, we have hammered
away upon their figures and have Sc
cured practically correct data. Most
of them we must compliment for their
excellent reports. Our figures on some
of the principal crops do not tally

is the earnest desire of this depart
ment to have any man who IS posted

as TO show who is right when such dis
crepancies appear. This department,
showing how care.essly the general
public often handle "percentages' in
reference to crops, adopted the method
of asking plain questions: "How
many acres did your parish have in
corn?" How many bushels were
made?n etc., etc, BY such method we
! believe we have secured better results,
and, if our figures are wrong, we
would like for some responsible tper-
son to write and toll u of it. All the
parishes have made reports except, OF
course, Orleans.
Cotton-In our last quarterly report
we stated that it would be impossible
for the crop to reach figure exceed
ing last years. We now report the
crop at 6,S05 bales on an acreage OF
,ll4,000.
Corn-This crop is the largest ever
produced in the State. Three millions
or more bushels were made than last
year, the crop being 33, 663, 81 bushels.
Sugar-Fifty-two parishes report
cane crops, but only q report any sug
ar made. St. Landry reports $4,000
acres in cane, but no sugar or syrup
made. The q parishes making sugar
! claim crop of 656, 9l3,70 pounds.
Nineteen claim 420, 767 barrels of mo-
lasses, Will, Il claim SPIT barrels
