The back waters from the At
oh afalaya, before the break, had
already inundated a very large
part of st. Martiu Parish and the
report is that the water is but a
few inches lower than it was in
May, 1912. when practically all
OF the cane lands back Of Loreau
vile, IN Iberia Parish, were dis
astrously overlooked. The re
port states further that much
cane that had been planted in
that section is now being taken
up and replanted Oh higher land
in order that the seed might be
saved.
1t is reported from Iberia Par.
lsh that the GOnsoulin interests
who had just sold their Maria
factory were considering the con
structlOn of another factory at
Loreauville of a smaller capacity
and capable of profitably taking
care Of their cane supply In that
section. 1t was said that the
Maria factory which was built 10
handle an average of 10000 tons
OF cane annually bad only been
able to get about IL 900 tons ev-
cry year, and, therefore, did not
operate to the very considerable
profit of it's owners. On the other
hand, it Is believed that a smaller
house of somewhat the same size
as the Centreville Corporations
sugar factory, near Franklin, La.
could be iun at profit Just az
Centreville has been successfully
operated the last two years.
Another report is that Vida, own
ed by Levert & Burgueires, is ne |
for the Maria cane sup
ply.-La. Planter.
