CANE ACREAGE INCREASED.
Sugar Output, However, May b.
Smaller Than 1916 Yield.

The sugar cane acreage OF Louisi-
ana this year is estimated at about IL
per cent above the 1916 acreage, &C
cording to report made to the Bu-
reau Of Crop Estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture
by it's Louisiana field agent. Ills
figure is based upon an average M
crease as shown in reports from cane
growers covering 58, ,447 acres. These
same planters reported for 1916 only
52.l14 acres. The total area harvest
ed for sugar in Louisiana in 1915 was
221, 900 acres; in addition, consider
able areas were reserved for seed
cane or used for syrup making.
Most Of the parishes in the cans
belt report increases. Polnte Coupee
and Verrniiion lead, each mentioning
as much as 40 per cent over last year.
Ascension reports 80 per cent in
crease. Assumption 5 per cent, Iberia
80 per cent, Iberville 8 per cent, La
fourche 25 per cent, st. james IL per
cent, st. Mary II per cent, Ierre~
honne 10 per cent, and West baton
Rouge 8 per cent. Other parishes
show slight increases and some few
slight decreases.
The high prices received by cane
growers last season is one explana-
Dion Of the increased acreage this
year. together with the fact that GER
tain sugar manufacturing companies
who depend for the most part upon
the growers for their cane supply
have been very active amongst the
growers urging them TO increase tneir
tonnage. Especially true Is TINS IN
| the parishes of Vermilion and Polnte
Coupee. where strong inducements
were offered the landowners to grow
/ cane for the several central factories
In those two parishes. Thousands OF
acres that have in former years lam
i idle are now under cane. Lands cul-
tiyated in rice in 1915 have, IN many
instances. been planted to cane tnla
.Iyear. Fifty-four sugar planters re-
mort 32,178 acres of corn on theil
plantations this year as compared
with 1896 acres in 1916, decrease
q Of about 5 per cent in corn acreage
planters seem to fear that the un
seasonably cool weather OF the early
: spring will curtail the cane tonnage
. this season very perceptibly, although
Z there is an optimistic feeling abou
the crop notwithstanding the unusua
| weather conditions. It is too sool
/ now to hazard more than q rougl
guess as to whether the tonnage TO b
Obtained this year will be less thai
! last years, and the determination o
this question will depend entirely ar
4 on how favorable or unfavorable tn
\ weather is from now on TO harvet
time.

"The Marcellini Millions. !"

George Beban will be seen at the
Grand Wednesday in another of his
celebrated Italian characterizations,
'"The Marcellini Millions" The story
is that of an Italian truck gardener
who suddenly finds himself the pos
SCISSOR of millions. Much to his dis
gust, his wife insists that he live up
to them. Many strange and wonder
full things happen to them as the own
ers of Marcellini Hall. Finally ne
can stand it no longer, and when his
wife sues for divorce, Guido returns
to his little farm. When the wife
hears that she is not the rightful pos
SCISSOR of the Marcellini estates, she
is only too glad to go back to her old
life, where she and Guido were so
happy and contented.

PLANT IRISH POTATOES.
Parish Agent Gives Timely Instruc.
tions for Growing Fall Crop.

AS the time is growing near for the
planting of our fall crop of Irish po-
tatoes, we should not lose sight of the
fact that every family can contribute
its mite toward bringing the war to
successful termination by growing at
least a sufficient quantity of Irish po-
tatoes for home consumption, until
next springs crop comes upon the
market. Those who are in posi-
ton to do so should go farther, and
use all available means to produce q
surplus for the market, for with the
present prospect of receiving such re-
nunerative prices, our people will
make no mistake in devoting little
time and attention to the growing OF
this crop.
The primary requisites for sue
cessful Irish potato crop are:
Cool and deeply pulverized soil,
with good moisture holding content,
and rich in potash; deep planting, and
frequent surface tillage to conserve
moisture.
It is readily understood why the
soil should be thoroughly pulverized
and deeply prepared, when we remem-
ber that the Irish potato is cool
weather plant, and must be sufficient
~ deep in the soil SO as to obtain a
fair quantity of moisture and escape
the hot rays of the summer sun. The
seed should be planted deeper than
for the spring crop, in order TO get
the tubers down into the cool soil,
where they will push and grow with
greater vigor than if planted shallow.
Medium size and small potatoes
should be used, and planted whole,
as they will rot if cut.
Our main difficulty in the growing
of fall crop of potatoes lies in our
inability to secure a stand. This can
be overcome to a considerable extent
by sprouting the tubers before they
are planted, Among the methods
used to accomplish this are:
Spread the potatoes out thinly in
dark, cool place, cellar preferably,
as soon as the spring crop has been
harvested; cover slightly with soil and
moisten lightly to hasten sproutlng.
In no event should the potatoes be
piled or heaped together during warm
weather.
Another method of sprouting is
to put the potatoes in shady place,
(under a low tree is best}, cover them
with straw, moss or sacks, and throw
sufficient water two or three times q
week to keep the ground moist. Do
this about two weeks before planting.
They can be planted from the flrsf
days of July to the last of August,
depending on the condition OF the
Isoil and ON whether or not the tubers
have sufficiently sprouted.
This is the year to grow all Of your
leating and seed potatoes. Do not icy

1.-THE Beautiful Lie"

stThe Beautiful Lie," in which
Frances Nelson will be seen at the
Grand Sunday, was suggested by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's poem, "a Revere
in Station House" The heroine OF
the story, an orphan girl, is married
to her wealthy employer after brief
courtship, but her husband soon tires
of her and spends most of his eye
nings with another woman. One night
he comes home drunk and informs
the heroine that the marriage cere-
mony was not legal, and. deserts her
for good. After an experience as an
artists model that hardens her men
tally, but leaves her physically un-
sullied, she meets a young artist, a
protege of the man she thought her
husband, and the two fall in love.
The elder man finds this out, tells the
boy the heroine was formerly his
mistress, is shot by the woman who
succeeded his supposed wife, and a
rascally nephew turns up with the
news that his uncle's marriage was
legal after all.

ssPanthea.' =

A devoted wife submits to dishonor
to save her husbands life. Was she
wrong? This is the question raised IN
the powerful photodrama, "Panthea,' :
to be shown at the Grand next Tues
day, in which the popular Norma Tai
madge makes her first appearance as
a Selznick Pictures star. The role
eimpersonated by the gifted young
actress offers her the greatest op-
portunity for the expression OF her
unusual emotional powers, and from
all accounts she has made q tremen-
dous hit in her portrayal of the part.
The picture abounds in spectacular
Photographic effects and powerfully
dramatic situations. Miss Talmadge
is supported by cast Of superlatlve
excellence.

Samuel b. Hubbard was born in
Cconec county in 1858, and died at
his home in the Fairview section Sat
urday night, March "a. Heart fail
ure was the cause Of his death. Mr..
Hubbard went to the lot about 8
o'clock Saturday evening to feed the
stock, and when he failed to return
to the house search was made and
the body was later found in the hall
way of the barn. The discovery was
made by his daughters. the only chill
dren at home that night.
Mr.. Hubbard united with the Bap-
tist church when quite young and
lived a consistentand faithful Chris
tian life to the end For many years
he had been a member of the w. o.
W., and was a faithful worker in
that order. In his home he was
loving and loved father, to whom the
entire household paid respect and
affectionate regard. He was kind
neighbor. faithful friend, and the
very soul Of devotion to his loved
ones in the home circle. His mind
was optimistic, and he never wor-
ried over the troubles and disappoint-
ments Of life. He. was always ready
to sacrifice his own ease and comfort
in order to minister to others. For
many years he had faithfully cared
for his home and children, his wife
having preceded him to the grave
nine years. Amid all the depressing
circumstances Of life he never mur-
INJURED, never faltered, but was
cheerful, hopeful, trustful. and was
in large measure the inspiration of
the home until he was transferred
from toll to rest.
In early life Mr.. Hubbard was hap
PLY married to Miss Susan Hunni-
cutt. To them were born seven chill
dren-Furber and Ray, Misses Has
sic and Ocala Hubbard. Of this COM
munity; Jay, Of Newry; Wardlaw,
