IBERIA CROPS.

Mr. p A. Landry, prominent
merchant of Iberia, and VINO has
an interest in several large cane
plantations near Segura, was a
city visitor during the week. ln
speaking Of the crop outlook Mr.
Landry said that the planters and
little farmers around his part of
the Teche region, and in the sur
rounding praille country as well.
are confident If producing a good
cane crop this year. The stubble
is most promising, he says, as
well as the fall plant cane; but
owing to the prevalence of rains,
little planting was done last
month, though nearly all planters
have their land ready for the con-
clusion of planting, which will re-
quire about ten days more.
In speaking Of other crops, Mr..
Landry remarked that the disposl-
tion ls toward u material increase
in rice sowings along Bayou Teche,
in Iberia and st. Martin parishes,
but que to difficulty encountered
by planters in efforts to secure
money from New Orleans there
Will not be much more rice grown
than in 1912 In cotton, however,
the small farmers Of Iberia parish
are to expand this year, to which
end New Iberia merchants are
buying aud furnishing seed for
about $500 acres, while Mr.. J. ID.
Valet, a progressive merchant
planter of Loreauville, and owner
of large gin there, is stalking
farmers to enough seed to plant
about 1900 acres. With an ap
prOximate 5000 to 5000 acres to
90 into cotton, it would seem, If
the weevll is to do as little harm
as noticed last year, that lber'a's
prospective cotton crop ought to
be quite a respectable one. aud .be
optlmistically inclined are hoping
that in the next season or two the
parish's former cotton productive
ty of 5000 to 1000 bales per annum
may be appropriated. In 1912
only 100 bales were ginned, all
handled at Mr.. Landry's gin be-
tween New iberia aud Segura, not
another gin IN the entire parish
then run; some Of the cotton
patches raised last season yielded
so we'll as two thirds of bale to
the acre, which good return &C
counts for the trend back to the
heecy staple again this year.

WILL SECURA REBUILD?

There are Il good many conflict
Ing rnmors bearing upon the ques-
ton which heads this paragraph.
Last August, when the lurld
flames, which destroyed the great
refinery, painted the western skies
in vivid colors, 1t was generally
recognized that disaster had ba.
fallen both this city and a large
country district contiguous to the
ill-fated plant. For the plant not
to be rebuilt would be to accumu
late and prolong the effects of the
blow.
The tate of sugar before the
next coming Congress seems TO be
a great factor IN shaping the
course Of those who hold the fu
ture Of the Segura factory. II,
may be readily understood thai,
adverse tariff legislation, in what
ever degree, will exert an intimi-
dating influence upon investors,
deteriing them from throwing
large sums into any extension Of
the manufacturing branch of the
sugar industry.
On the other hand the Scgura
refinery people still have large in
vestments already made, prior to
the fire, In auxiliaries to. the cen
tral plant, which Investments can
be preserved only by the rebuild
ing and operating of the mill.
There are many miles OF narrow
gauge railroad, threading it's way
into the back country, which
would be lost if the mill were not
rebuilt. The canal, leading from
the lake shore of Spanish Lake,
through the marsh, out to clear
water, in order to supply the ne
cessities of the refinery, is another
such investment. The Office build
ing, store rooms, boarding houses,
cooper shops etc, are other such
Investments. The new mill and
engine, but slightly damaged by
the fire; the cane carrier loading
apparatus, practically unaffected;
the storage tanks Ior oil and syr-
up-al, would have their greatest
value if used where they are.
The 40 acre tract, upon which the
refinery stood, would, We under
stand, revert to original holders it
the refinery we're abandoned.
Then, there are rumors, how
never, not confirmed by those in au'
\hority, indicating that the refine.
Ay will be rebuilt and that the
dew plant will be modernized in
every particular. The new con
struction will be in steel and con
crete; aud the plans contemplate
alplant which will ultimately turn
oht sugars refined to the last de-
Gree Of the refiner's art.
