IBERIA CROP NOTES

While the situation is some
what improved since last week,
yet the weather remains unset
tied and showers are of daily oc-
currence though not of such Ill
tensity as heretofore. The high
water from the continued rains
of this entire month are reced-
ing and people are beginning to
take their bearings. 1t IS
stated that the rice crop has been
damaged fully thirty per cent,
as the water caused the grains
to sprout. There is some cutting
and threshine going on but the
grain is put on tarpaulins to dry
before sacking. While the loss
has been considerable, the pro
nounced advance in price is some
compensation. Corn has suffered
more than at first suspected as
when the shuck is removed much
of the grain is found discolored
and sprouted, which condition
will very materially affect the
seed corn for next year. Cotton
is about wiped out, but little re-
mains in the field and the top
will not amount to anything as
the nearness to frost is now IN

very green and watery, and
where blown down is in very bad
condition, having taken a fresh
start in vegetation, but some dry
weather and cool west and north
winds will work wonders for this
croD. ia!
Never before has the necessity
for good drainage made itself 50
apparent. Grounds that were
thoroughly drained have come
through this trying period with
colors flying. The roads are dry
ing up and people are again at
work on their farms and planta-
tons, making preparations for
the sugar campaign. which has
been postponed until the cane
shows sufficient sucrose to Justl-
fly operations. From the actiy-
ity of factory agents it is Thought
good prices will be obtained for
cane this year. as the crop will
not be affected hy the new tariff. !
Competition among pure hasersn
of cane being very strong, which,
of course, rebounds to the benefit
of the producer.
A number of our sugar-house
owners are denied insurance
since the agitation of tariff mat
ters began, and policies are being
refused and those in force can
celled. Just why this injustice
is done is not accounted for, I'M

rate it works a hardship On those

factories, affording
employment to many people and

Some complaint is made con-

Correct Words and How to Use Them
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.

ways" "somewheres," There's plenty
Of places"
The contraction don't for do not"
should never be used with a singular
noun or pronoun. 1t is correct to say
He does not" and not He don't" II
is important to remember the objective
form Of the FIRST person singular when
noun or pronoun or two pronouns fol-
low verb, and not to say Ethel asked
Mary and / to go" but ETHEL asked
Mary and me to go" II one is confused
about the use of proneuns In a sentence
of this sort an easy rule is to separate
them and use each one with the verb,
thus: ethel asked Mary" and ETHEL
asked me-" In this way the grammstl-
cal form is seen
II is correct 10 say "A summer day."
not "A summers day" "Cut the apple
in two" or "in halves not Cut the
apple in half" II cut the ribbon of
this piece" not "on of this piece" THE
child threw It on the floor not "onto
the floor"
Whether" is a word that indicates a
choice Of things and should not be
placed at the head of each part Of a
sentence. For instance, II is incorrect
to repeat 1t thus: II have not decided
whether shall go to Boston or whether
shall stay at home"

careless habits Of speech have
been formed a determined effort to cor
rect them will lead to good results.
Many persons who consider them
selves well educated make the mistake
Of using the participle got" In connec-
ton with the verb "to have" They
say: Have you got the key?" "who
has got my book" instead Of Have
you the key?" who has my book9"
Mistakes Of everyday occurrence are.
Who did you give it tor" who is this
for?" instead OF the correct expressions,
ITO whom did you give it?" For whom
is this?"
Frequently one hears these errors in
grammar: II intended to have bought
pair Of gloves" instead Of Il intended
to buy a pair Of gloves" 1T was no use
asking him." instead OF 1T was no use
to ask him. TRY and persuade her to
go, " instead Of Try to persuade her 10
go"
It would seem unnecessary to tell any
one not to use the present tense in
stead Of the past tense when mentioning
what another has said, yet a careless
person may be heard saying, He says"
instead Of He said"
other faults are to say "A great
