The Rice Situation.

LOCAL showers over a large area, with
heavier rains in some sections have relieved the
situation in large measure and, except in the
Louisiana, very satisfactory conditions prevail
with reference to the growing rice crop at this
time. Still not sufficient rain has fallen to help
the water supply for the large pumping plants
that are in constant operation and some anx-
iety is felt on account Of brackish water in the
lower portions of the larger sources of supply.
This is true in both Texas and Louisiana.
In Arkansas, planters very generally derive
the water supply from deep wells and in addl-
ton, have had nice rains recently, coupled with
warmer weather which has proven OF great
benefit to the growing crops.
The early planting, in many cases. came up
slowly and showed a poor stand. Much OF this
became grassy and will suffer therefrom be-
cause the flooding was retarded too long. The
excessively dry weather in a large area made 1t
difficult to plant with a good seed bed and lrrl-
eating plants have been kept extremely busy
trying to furnish an adequate supply since so
many planters have made demand simultaneous
Iy for water.
Ravages from worms and maggots are re-
ported from various places but not Of a spec
tally serious character. The cool weather in
June hindered the rapid development of the
growing plant, but more recently the weather
has been extremely fine throughout the whole
rice area.
If a sufficient water supply is available for
the remaining part of the season there is no
question about an abundant harvest. To be
sure, every rice planter realizes that number
less forms Of disaster might hinder the safe in
gathering of the most promising crop in the
belt. AS a whole, the rice planters are optim-
lists and not disposed to anticipate calamities,
but hope for a safe and satisfactory issue Of
the seasons undertaking. Not infrequently
We are too sanguine of success ard incur obi.
cations before the ability to meet them is well
enough assured.
As a whole, the present average condition Of
the crop is all that could reasonably be asked,
although there are some localities that are far
below normal. These, however, are fully offset
by the more favorable conditions elsewhere. =

public highway and need to be heightened. Mr..
Joseph Sayoie has agreed to have his heightened

the various other parties from Savoie down to
the court house and it is to be hoped that the
whole can be settled satisfactorily within a very
few days. Owing to the condition of the
roadways the committee could proceed no fur
ther in their Investigations at that time, but are
now corresponding in regard thereto and hope
soon to be able to make a complete and ~satisfac-
tory report for the results over the whole line.

Seville Bitter Oranges.

In the vicinity Of Seville in Spain over 5000
acres of land are devoted to the growing OF
the Seville bitter orange. This is a most dis
tinctive fruit, employed chiefly in the manufac-
ture Of marmalade. 1t is incidentally stated
that the yield is so much greater than the de-
mand that a large quantity of the fruit is only
partly utilized. This excess is peeled, the pulp
is thrown away and the peel is sun dried and
exported for use in confectioners' shops. Eng
land takes most of the exported fruit.
In this parish it has been generally recog-
nized in the past that our sour oranges resist
freezing weather better than any OF the sweet
orange family. It occurs to me that perhaps
incidental to our generally Aourishing sweet
orange production that this marmalade prop
osition might be worthy of consideration and
especially in the vicinity Of canning factories,
where the fruits could be readily utilized for
the manufacture of marmalade.

The State Board Of Education
authorized the organization of
A departments of home econ

department was aided by a spec
lal state appropriation Of $500.
The reports from these schools
are: most flatte,ing as to results
obtained. Many applications are
now on file in this office for the
establishment Of such depart
ments next session.
The state aided q agricultural
departments in public schools.
Each of these departments was
.aquired to live up to state reg
ulations such as maintaining
demonstration farms, having
certain implements, buildings,
and each was required to employ
an A. & N. graduate as a teach
er. am recommending a type
OF school for next session that
will reqnite only the qualified
teacher Of agriculture. The
teacher will be expected to have
each boy cultivate an acre or
more in some staple crop on his
fathers farm. This will be done
under the direction of the teach
er. The principles employed
there will be brought into the
classroom for instruction pur-
poses.

is already plainly seen that this
is a wise piece of legislation and
vii! result in materially raising
educational standards.
There were last session ia
schools (outside of. the city Of
New Orleasl on our list Of State
approved high schools. These
schools were standardized by the
State Board Of Education, ind
each was given a special state
appropriation. Practically all Of
these schools were housed in
good buildings and most Of them
in brick buildings, and were
taught by competent faculties
and the work was required to be
in accordance with regulations
laid down by the State Board Of
Education. Some 300 or 1000
young men and women gradua-
ted from these Id schools.
Two hundred thousand white
children attended the public
schools for an average session Of
eight months. They were taught
by $500 teachers. The great
majority Of these teachers were
college and normal graduates, or
held either the highest grade Of
certificate or the second highest
few holding the lowest grade Of
certificates. One hundred thous-
and negro children attended the
public schools for a session Of
about FIVE rrcr+h- s4

State Superintendent T. H.
Harris says: All of the State in
stitutions the State University,
the statsN6rmal School and the
twoindustrial institutions have
had an unusually successful year.
The attendance was large, har-
mony prevailed, and the mem
.bers of the graduating classes
were much more numerous than
ever before and a high grade of
work was done.
The summer schools are now
in session, We are maintaining
six for white teachers and three
for colored teachers. The teach
ers are enrolling by the thous-
ands and it looks now as if at
least four or five thousand teach
ers will prosecute their studies
in the summer schools for teach
ers.
Beginning with the last ses.
sion, we reorganized our methods
Of examining teachrrs. All pub.
lie school teachers in Louisiana
are now examined by the State
Examining Committee, connect
ed with the State Department o1
Education. Questions are pre-.
pared by this committee, all pa.
pers are graded by it, and al
certificates are issued by it. |

consolidated and 81, 600, 900 worth
of schoolhouses were erected,
some in towns many in the coun-
try. Practically all Of the build
ings erected in towns were OF
tbrick, and those built in the
country were erected under the
supervision Of a competent school,
architect. Special school taxes
Were voted everywhere, and
something like Sc, 000,0 600 was
expended for public school pur-
poses.
There is a healthy sentiment
in the state for education, the
people believing that the best
thing that they can do for their
children is to make them intelli-
gent and give them the training
that will enable them to become
good citizens and to make their
way successfully. A good deal
was done along the lines Of san
itation-a great,deal by the State
Board Of Health, something by
the schools. Four or five parish
boards employed medical inspec-.
tors and required them to visit
all of the schools, examine the
children and start detectives on
the road to recovery. We still
have much to do, but we are
moving forward about as rapidly
as really constructive work can
be done.

Some Time Later.

Some limo Later.
The little Norman isle, home OF
Pierre Laroche, so wild and bleak
looking many months OF the year, re-
sembles Towering garden in the
spring; then, its lap full of buds and
blossoms, smiling. redolent, 1t lifts
itself from the broad bosom of the
deep. And all the light. embellish-
ments of the golden time it sets forth
daintily: fringing the black cliffs with
clusters Of sea campion, white and
frothy as the spray. trailing green ivy
from precipitous heights to the verge
of the wooing waters, whose waves
seem to creep up timorously, peep into
the many caves, bright with sea-anem-
ones. and retreat quickly. as awed by
sudden glimpse Of fairyland.
Near the entrance OF one OF these
magical chambers, abloom with
strange, scentless flowers, sat. a GER
tain afternoon in April, man and a
woman, who, looking out over the blue
sea, conversed in desultory fashion.
From what your father tells me,
Mistress Nanette," the man, an aged
priest, was speaking, "the Seigneur
Desaurac should be here today"
"My father had letter from him a
few days ago to that effect" answered
the young woman somewhat shortly.
Let me see," apparently the old
man did not. notice the change in his
companions manner. che has been
away now about a year? It was in
July he brought the Governors daugh-
ter to the island one day and sailed
the next" Nanette made a move
ment. "How time 1ies!" he sighed.
Let us hope it assuages grief, as they
say! You think she is contented
here?"
"The Lady Elise? Why not? At
least, she seems SO; has with her,
her old nurse, my aunt, VITO fortu.
nately escaped from the Mount"
but the death of her father? It
must have been terrible blow-one
not easy to forget!"
"Of course" said Nanette slowly,
"she has felt his loss"
The old man gazed down. 81 have
sometimes wondered what she knows
about the causes of the enmity that
existed between his Excellency and
the Black Seigneur?"
The others eyes lifted keenly.
