THE CROPS.

1t would seem at this date aug.
15), that some positive and reason
ably accurate estimate of the cotton
crop of this parish could be made.
But after seeking information from
planters from all parts of the parish
about all thatwe can say is that this
crop is what is known colloquially
as spotted" one and that it is
next to impossible to form any sat-
isfactory opinion as to the ultimate
yield.
One thing seems to be agreed on
by all and that is that there is now
a complete infestation of boil Wee
wills; that the plant has stopped
blooming and that the most we can
expect is to hold on to what has al
ready been made in the way of bolls.
Indeed, from some sources we learn
that in places the weevils are attack
ing the young bolls, which fact, OF
course, adds to the difficulty OF es-
timating the crop.
There are plantations which have
excellent crops while those imme-
diately adjoining it have practically
no crop. On the whole we are inclined
to put the crop of 1913 at point
somewhere between the crops OF
1909 and 1910 (say 1000 bales
and that of 1911 (about 1000 bales)
We understand that cotton is begin
ing to open rapidly and that picking
will be general by September l.
The corn crop is very good and
the same is true of peas and hay,
which is a blessing in view of the
high prices for feeds tufts which are
sure to prevail next year.

THE BOIL wEEvIL ON RED RIVER

In Bulletin No. 116, issued by
the U. s. Census Bureau, on the
subject of Cotton Production in
1912, we find some interesting sta
tistics relating to cotton production
in the parishes on Red River in
North West Louisiana.
1t will be remembered that in its
progress from West to East, the
boil weevil coming from Texas nee
essarly reached those parishes first
and they had full infestatiCn Of
the pest several years before il
crossed the State and reached the
Mississippi River.
The Census Bureau figures give
the production for the years from
1908 to 1912 inclusive. The figures
for some Of the parishes above re
ferred to are as follows:

WHAT WILL THEY DOl

There is already some talk about
the sugar planters abandoning the
democratic party on account of the
action of congress in placing sugar
on the free list. Already it is an
nounced that Mr.. Pharr, son of
Captain Pharr who was the repub-
lican candidate for Governor in
1896, will contest for the seat from
the Third District now occupied by
Mr.. Robert F. Broussard.
Well, we shall see. The sugar
planters once before tried to turn
Louisiana over to the republican
party and the negroes because they
were dissatisfied. That time they
were sore because the democrats re-
moved the bounty on sugar and
looking at the matter solely from
the point of view of filling their
pockets, they tried to destroy white
rule in Louisiana. But they failed
and they will fail again.
After all we don't know but what
it is we'll to separate, once for all
the sheep from the goats. There
have been in Louisiana too many
men masquerading as democrats
who really belong to the republican
ranks. Congressman Broussard
who is Senator-elect, doubtless has
hosts of supporters and admirers
in those who will leave the party on
the question which he has always
voted with the republicans. What
will the Senator-elect do" Will be
be democrat or will he follow his
frianda2

An examination of these figures
will show that the parishes named
above increased their production
from 1908 by the following per cent.
age approximately viz, Bossier
140 per cent; Caddo 100 per cent
De Soto 80 per cent; Natchitoche:

standing the variation in seasons
which materially affects cotton pro.
duction, the yield in this group Of
parishes has increased annually
In other words, these statistics show
conclusively that cotton production
on the Red River as affected by the
weevil, reached its lowest ebb in
1908 and since that year has steadily
increased.
While giving due weight to i'm
proved seed and improved agricul-
tural methods as contributing fac
tors in this result, we cannot but
believe that the most important
factor of all must be the destruction
of the weevil by the parasite which
is known to attack it. Close observ-
ers here in Tensas report that many
larvae of the weevil have been de-
stroyed this year by some parasite
The weevil having first appeared in
this State on Red River, the enemy
would naturally appear first there
in numbers sufficient to mitigate its
ravages. AS the pest made its way
across the State, the enemy followed
and is now getting in its work here.
We are also inclined to believe that
by 1915, the Mississippi River par
ishes will experience the relief now
enjoyed by their sisters on the Red

institutions in the city of New Orleans,

gotiating the sale Of the bonds and the
borrowing of money, necessary to carry

to report that we have visited all the

institutions in New York and st. Louis.
We find that owing to the present de-
pressed money market, that il will be
! impossible at this time to sell the bonds
at par as required by law. We find, how
ever. that we will be able to negotiate a
loan of 500, 100000, with per cent in

tons in New Orleans and our local banks,
predicated on our revenues for the year
