SATURDAY. May II, 1912

Some people are alarmists and
always look at things on their
darker side and many at the pre-
sent time are disposed to make
the water situation much worse
than it is. The situation is ma
turally serious. many hundred
acres of land under cultivation are
overhowed aud many more may
20 under water, but, however un.
fortunate it may be to those who
have lost their crops and had to
leave their homes in st. Martin
parish, tho number is small CON-
pared to the vast area of the pa
rish which is not subject to over
flow. The loss in the overhowed
section is great, because those
lands are the. best in tho country
and the most productive, but we
must hope that the water will re-
tire soon enough to permit the
the planters to at least plant a
large corn crop.
