CROP CONDITIONS IN IBERIA.

The passing week has not been
very satisfactory from crop
standpoint, the continuous rams
having interfered with work m
cident to this season of the year,
such as gathering corn, making
of hay, fall blowing, etc. A
break in the weather Of two clear.
rainless days has helped matters
very much, the West and North
winds rapidly drying out the
moisture of the soil and allowing
work to proceed. Our rice
planters have suffered more Sc
verely than any other. as their
crop has been ready for the har-
vest for month, and for three
weeks they have been kept out
Of their fields by the daily rains.
Considerable loss has ensued from
SCATTERING of overripe grain OF
sprouting in the shock and of de-
terioration in quality Of grain.
The delay of harvesting has also
caused loss in prices, which
have slumped considerably. Some
of our planters place their loss
at from Is to 40 per cent of the
crop.
Cane has continued to improve
and it is safe to say that no month
of August for many years has
witnessed such fine cane crops,
which will soon be ready for the
mill as growth is already as
,ured and maturity is rapidly
forming. The cotton experiments
throughout the Parish seem to be
turning out well, Notwithstanding
the unfavorable weather. SIEVE
raj have reported picking in
vogue. and a yield in some case
of 500 to 700 pounds per acre,
which at present prices will be
profitable. 1t is thought con-
siderable area will be planted to-
cotton in 1912.
Our truck gardeners have not
been able to accomplish much in
the way Of preparation for fall
crops owing to the excessive rain
fall, but now that the prospects
or good weather are bright the
work will be pushed with vigOr.

SEWERAGE A NECESSITY
EVERYWHERE.

The wet spell of the past three
weeks has emphasized the neces
sity for New iberia to install a
an early date a first-class sew
erage system calculated to take Of
the surplus water that remain
upon ones premises until absorbed
by the earth which usually takes
from six to ten days and not be
fore a green scum has arisen cal
culated to poison ones entire
household, often resulting in Ty
phoid and other fevsrs at risl
of possible death and hundreds Of
dollars of doctor bills. One by
enc the Southwest Louisiana towns
are adopting sewerage as the safe
and sane thing in which to banist
from the community these pre-
ventable diseases. once the surface
closets are done away with which
can only be accomplished bv J
good system Of sewerage. Within
the past ten days Opelousas ha'
voted a tax for an improvement OF
that nature and why not New 1be
ria. It behooves the taxpayins
public to frown down all special
taxes in the future unless it be
solely for sewerage and good
drinking water. the two most IS
sential things for our advance
ment.
We reproduce from the Lafay-
cite Advertiser the subjOined arti-
Gle on this important subject and
trust our readers will at a very
early date demand of the City
Fathers that they get busy AM
submit the proposition to the peo-
pie of their sanction:
"Undoubtedly there is nothing
comparable to health and yet we
as a people are very reckless with
it. Because Of our indifference
and carelessness disease enters Oui
homes. takes away our loved ones,
disables us, burdens us with doe
tors bills and yet we do not stop
and make the effort to Danish from
our community the preventable
diseases which is practically nine
tenths of the diseases we suffer
from. Lafayette at present is in.
sanitary and is bound to be more
or less insanitary until we put in
sewerage and adopt stringent
health regulations and enforce
them. This looks like it might
be burden, but in a short time
with real sanitary town would
soon learn that we save money
and enjoy health and miss the
worry and pain Of the burden of
sickness which we had got to be-
lieve was part of the order Of
things. A time will come when
people will not stand for condi-
tons that exist now, and it is to
be hoped that the people Of La
fayette will take the part Of the
wise man and put in sewerage
and make this the leading sanitary
town Of the South.

When you pull down the town
in which il your home, you are
pulling down yourself, and when
you build up you are building up
yourself and your neighbor.
Try and Danish from your
mind the mistaken idea that all
good things are away off in some
other locality. Give your town
all the praise 1t can legitimately
bear. It certainly will do you no
harm and will cost you nothing;
and above all patronize your

A HOME FOR CONFEDERATE
WOMEN.

In another column we publish a
communication from Mrs. j. n.
Whitner advocating the erection
Of a home for Confederate women
and We wish to add our endorse
ment to what she says. The four
years life of the Southern Con
federacy constitute the most glor-
ious and most tragic period Of tie
worlds history. Without bitter
ness but with pride, without mar
rowness but in the broadcast spirit
of Americanism the memory of
this period should be preserved.
And when we have it in mind
we should remember that, while
the Confederate soldier established
a new worlds record for patrio-
tism and dauntless courage, the
Confederate woman was not one
whit behind him; and when we
consider the sufferings they will
lingly endured for their convic-
tions we must realize that If there
was a difference the sufferings Of
the Confederate woman were the
greater.
Different Southern States arc
caring in measure or the brave
men who in their old age need as
sistance and in many cities homes
are provided for the homeless SOL
diers Of the Confederacy. Tbs is
well bat not an argument can be
advanced for building homes t.
shelter the old soldiers that does
not apply equally well to the prop
OsitiOn to do the same work for
the women who worked for them,
VINO suffered with them and Turn.
:shed them with their inspiration.
1t will not be many years now
before homes for Confederate sell
diers and the women CT the Con-
federacy will be alike tenantlsss
so far as the participants in the
war and their wives and mothers
are concerned but what noble
to the Confederacy
would they be if after supplyin,,
Inc needs of those for whom they
are built they should remain for
others worthy and needful Of as
yistace! In this way the South
ern Confederacy. dead as a ma
ion, would like as a charity help
ing to save future generations
from a 1.-THE of the sufferings it
10 bravely endured.
The idea Is for the building Of
i General home and those who
nave it closest to their heart would
prefer its location in Florida
where the honored beneficiaries
'ould live with least discomfort
he year round. We would like
o see the people Of our city lead
n its erection. We would like to |

THE ATLANTIC COAST STORM

The Atlantic coast was visited
by a storm on Sunday and Mon
day which reached hurricane
proportions and which did con-
siderable amount of damage, as
such storms always do. Fortu-
nately. the loss Of life does not
appear to have been very great,
although the outlying islands and
low coast country have not yet
been all heard from. The center
of the storm seems to have passed
over the City Of Charleston where
the wind reached velocity OF
ninety miles an hour and where
the tide became 50 high that
many parts of the city were in
undated by the sea. Savannah,
Ga. Port Royal and Beaufort, S.
c., and Jacksonville, Fla, appear
to have been all within the radius
of the storm, but the greatest
damage appears to have been at
Charleston and it's immediate
neighborhood. In addition to
considerable property damage in
that city, the loss of few lives,
the Maynard at that point was
considerably damaged and num-
Der of torpedo boats were driven
ashore, once more demonstrating
the unwisdOm of locating Naval
Station in an exposed harbor.
While this storm resembled the
typical West India hurricane in
every respect. it appears to have
arrived unheralded, just as did the
recent severe blow in the vicinity
Of Pensacola. The failure Of the
Government Stations in the West
Indies tosend timely warning Of
these two serious disturbance s
either wal rants the belief that the
hurricanes have somewhat chang
ed their customary routes or that
the observers neglected to send
the proper, WARNINGS. This is 4
serious matter, as it is of the ut
most impor tance to have adequate
notice Of the approach Of one Of
these storms, so that shipping
can take the proper precautions
and people living on exposed
stretches Of the coast or on outly- |
islands can seek places of create:
safety and take steps to protect |
their property.
I These West India storms. the
usual season for which is now at
hand. do a great deal of damage
along our Southern coast and the
Government has long realized tina.
timely warning of their approach
is Of the greatest Importance not !
only to shipping and to seacoast |
people. but to the agricultural in
terests of the States that border !
on the Gulf of Mexico and South
Atlantic. 1t is therefore highly |
important to know just why the |
two recent storms reached our
coast unheralded. If it can be |
shown that they did not originate
in the West Indies, but followed
some new and unusual course, it |
is highly important that this in
novation should be investigated |
and arrangements made to place
observers on more remote loca-
lions in the West Indies not now
covered. It is Of the utmost c6fl. /
sequence that these storms should |
not reach us without proper warn-
ing.-Picayune.

SUGAR PRICES 90 UP.

That the Louisiana sugar plant
ers. owing to the prevailing high
prices and the shortness Of supply,
probably will realize between five
and six million dollars more on this
seasons crop than was secured
last year, was the statement yes
terday Of one of the leading sugar
factors here. That this season .
crop promises to be one { the best
in many years and that while the
country will feel the effects OF the
shortage of the European and u
ban crops, the New Orleans con-
sumer will not feel the effects Of
the high prices as much as the
consumers in other sections. ow-
ing to the benefits this market will
derive from the Louisiana crop,
was stated also.
Dispatches from New York yes
terday showed concern over the
high prices prevailing in the sugar
market. There was another adj
vance in granulated during the
day to 6.25. representing a full
cent rise in the last few weeks and
the highest level in many years.
Coming at the height of the can.
ming season, this advance is Of
vital interest to consumers all
over the country. It is attribut-
ed primarily to the poor sugar
beet crop in Europe, follow
ing prolonged drought this
summer. To make matters worse
the Cuban crop, which furnished
much raw material for American
refiners, also proved short, and
prices began to soar.
Far-sighted dealers brought large
some months ago. leaving
the market almost bare of stock,
and raw sugars. in consequence,
have made high records. while
many New York operators pre-
dict that the end is not in sight.
Sugar men here yesterday stated
that within six or seven weeks the
new crop Of Louisiana would begin
to arrive. The crop is expected
to exceed $4,000 tons. They said
that there is a scarcity of ninety
six test sugar on the local mar
ket, this being recognized as the
common Louisiana standard. and
that the indications point toward
his years crop being twenty-five
per cent higher in price than last
years. One sugar planter stated
hat he heard yesterday morning /,
rom a correspondent in Germany |
hat the European drought was SO
evere that the crop would fall
If about two million tons. He
tated that from Cuba he learned !,
hat the Cuban crop would fall /
hort $4,000 tons.
Factors say they do not expect
peculation on the outcome Of this :,
,ear's crop to any great extent.
