within his memory has there been
/ such a spell of weather as that now
I prevailing, and certainly nothing re
motely approaching it has been re
! corded in recent years. Heretofore
good weather has always been the
/ rule in October, Louisiana's =prettiest
month, but all precedents and records
! have been shattered this year. and sc
! conditions is concerned there has to
date been nothing in the present
! month to distinguish it from any OF
the other warm and rainy periods
which have gone before. Instead of
a let-up in the daily rains, they seem
Ito be coming down with even greater
/ volume and persistency, and from
/ pending indications there is no hope
of change for the better in the
| immediate future. One of the heav-
/ lest rains experienced in this section
in many months fell Wednesday af-
| ternoon, the precipitation totalllng
5.25 inches. Copious showers were
received Monday and Tuesday, and
Thursday also furnished it's quota of
moisture.
1t is impossible to calculate even
approximately the amount of dam
age to the crops that has been done
by the unreasonable wet spell. The
pea vine hay crop was almost COM
pletely wiped out, and instead OF
filling their bins with a generous
quantity of this valuable foodstuff, as
had been anticipated, most planters
were able to harvest only a compare
lively few loads, nothing like enough
to meet their requirements during the
fall and winter months. Rice, corn,
and cotton were all damaged to a
very material extent, and now it APP
pears the cane crop is about to be
dealt a heavy blow. The continuous
rains, with accompanying high tenn
peratures, have had the effect of
keeping the cane green and promoting
its growth, whereas what is needed
IS q period of dry, cool weather to
cause it to mature and increase its
sugar content.

Hon. John T. Michel of New Or

didacy for railroad commissioner from
the first district of the state to fill
the vacancy caused by the recent
death Of Commissioner Henry B.
Schneider. 1t is not likely that Mr..
Michel viii have any opponent for
the place, partly because of his per-

partly owing to the fact that he is
generally recognized as possessing
the qualifications requisite to efficient
and capable service as a railroad
commissioner.

scheduled, and promises to prove a
most successful event III every par
ticular, despite the handicap i'm
posed by bad roads and unpropitious
atmospheric conditions While the
receipt of exhibits was delayed to
some extent, as was naturally to be
expected, entries arrived yesterday
in lively manner, and enough have
been received to make the exhibition
a revelation to our people, and to
forever dispel the oft-repeated fall
lacy that you can't hold a success

effort the display is a most notable
one, and demonstrates in a striking
manner the wonderful fertility of
our soil and the vast possibilities Of
this section from an agricultural,
industrial and commercial standpoint.

coming miles to. see, and the poul-
try division is also exceptionally

home canned goods, bread and rolls,
fancy work and sewing, curios, relics
and heirlooms, art work, growing
plants and cut flowers, trimmed hats,
and other exhibits from the domain
of domestic science and household
economics. This department Of the
fair is particularly interesting and
attractive.
Owing to the disarrangement Of
plans caused by the rainy weather,
the program for the opening day
was revised to some extent, the
horse races being necessarily pre-
termitted on account of the muddy
condition of the track Addresses
were delivered in the afternoon by
Hon. E. O. Bruner, commissioner of
agriculture; Hon. T. H. Harris,
state superintendent Of education,
and Prof E. S. Richardson, of the
department OF agricultural extern
sion.

Unfortunately the proposed cand1-

gate to the constitutional conYen-
ton from Iberville parish has been
interfered with because of Mr..
Soniat's occupancy Of the postmaster
ship at Dorcyyille, position which
he has filled for years as a matter
of convenience to the people Of that
community. Being advised by the
postoffice department, in reply to his
inquiry, that it would be necessary
for him to resign as postmaster If
he became candidate for election
to the convention, he promptly an
nounced the withdrawal OF his name.
