Heavy rainfall and prolonged cool
weather this spring have resulted ia
putting the planting, cultivation, and
growth Of sugar cane about 35 DAYS
late, and there has been q heavy re-
Iduction in the acreage.
This is the declaration of John s.
Dennee, field agent for the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates at
New Orleans Mr.. Dennee has lust
completed a survey of the situation.
and summarizes the prospect in the
following words: ..
Reports from planters and nv
oWr personal observations seem to
warrant the belief that there has been
q very substantial cut in the Louis
lana cane acreage this year about
Is per cent, I should say. 145 Dlant-
ers report an aggregate of only 67.-
875 acres this year. Last year these
same planters reported total sof
fl,189 acres. An average reduction
OF Is per cent distributed through
out the sugar district indicates only
264, 900 acres for the grinding sea-
son OF 1919-20. In 1913 the area
under cane was 900, 900 acres ire
vlsed) The condition of the crop on.
June I is fixed at " per cent Of
normal, due chiefly to the late spring.
Less than SO per cent Of the 1919
acreage is believed to be in plant
cane (planted since last harvest)
and the remainder stubble cane.
(plantings of last year or earlier).
Ihe trouble was with the seed re-
served for spring planting. Con-
tlnuous rains and late freezes during
the winter put a great deal Of the
seed to the bad. Much of it was
worthless and was left in the fields:
but for the most part the seed cane
was poor to fair. Generally it was
the native red cane that suffered
most Planters fortunate enough to
have ample labor at the beginning Of
last harvest, and who were good
enough weather prophets to foresee
the awful months Of rain ahead. nut
down lots of fall plant and those par
tlcular planters did not fare SO badly.
The diminishing prospects for the
new crop are making pessimists of
some planters. Labor is short and
very high priced, fields are grassy.
and one-seventhaof the. nornal grow
ing season is already lost. One of
the chief characteristics Of Louisi-
ana's sugar industry is its uncertain
ties. The cane seldom has long
enough period to mature and is
ground while green, and this results
IN lower yields Of sugar than would
otherwise be obtained. Present in
should say, point to a
very marked shortage in the sugar
harvest this fall"

ANTI-sUBMARINE FLoTILLA.

| Down the Mississippi River.
| The anti-submarine Flotilla, which
the Navy Department assembled for
visit to the Mississippi and it's trib-
utaries, is now on the river. 1t in
cludes the u. s. N. Submarine KS,
the destroyer Isabel, the submarine
chasers and the flying boats; all Of
which with majority Of their Of
ficers have seen active service in the
war zone. They completely illus
trate the types Of ships, guns and
equipment which were used in fight
ing the '.U" boats. The fotilla was
lsent to the Mississippi to give the
people OF this section every opportu-
nifty Of seeing these ships, and of
making close inspection of them.
! Preceded by several days start by
one Of the chasers, the fotilla is
passing up the river to st. Louis.
This port will be made the northern
base, and on the trip down visit
will be made to all Of the principal
ports on eitheEkside Of the river. In
event Of several toeaususssstlsg grouped,
or accessible to q landing, the fiotilla
will call at the nearest landing. The
Itinerary is now being completed and
every town to be visited will be noti-
fled in ample time Of the coming of
the navy feet. A scout chaser will
leave st. Louis in advance of the
fiotilia to call at all towns to COM
|plete arrangements.
It is also planned to have ships of
the flotilla call at the principal ports
on the Ohio above Cairo, the Missis-
|sippi above st. Louis. and the Illinois
river. The exact dates and itinerary
will be- announced.
The fiotilla carries a navy band, a
|glee club Of Blue Jackets and a base
ball team. A display win be made at
each port of motion pictures of navy
life and training.

Washington, Feb 9.Plans for
bringing home the bodies of all of
ficers, sailors and marines now buried
on foreign soil are being worked out
by the navy department and the ac-
tual work will he undertaken within
the next few months. The wishes of
relatives, however, will govern not
only as to the return of the bodies but
also as to their final disposition Those
brought home either will be sent for
ward for private interment or buried
with military honors in the Arlington
or some other national cemetery.
The announcement today expressed
a preference for bringing home all
bodies. In the case of marines and
naval detachments serving with the
army, however. this was not possible
and instead a careful system of per-
manent marking of graves was main
tanned.
The departments statement said
where private interment was desired
the navy would prepay all expenses
up to delivery of the casket to rela-
tiVes and that the war risk insurance
bureau of the treasury would refund
actual burial expenses not exceeding
500 in each case upon presentation
of the claims.
Relatives of the dead of the navy
and naval reserve were requested to
write the bureau of medicine and sur
gerry as to their wishes and those of
the dead of the marine corps were
invited to communicate with the COM
mandant of the corps.
