No Water Famine In
Rice District
Lafayette Advertiser)

There will be no water famine in
the rice district of Lafayette, ST.
Martin and st. Landry this year.
By April first at the latest, and
perhaps full thirty days earlier,
the waters of the Atchafalaya will
be flowing through cut off of Ba-
you Courtableau into BayouTeche,
and from the Teche a new canal
which is now more than third
completed into Bayou Vermillion.
This announcement comes from
the central office of the Atchafala-
ya-Teche- Vermillion Company in
Lafayette where work on the new
water ways system, for that is what
it really is, is being rapidly push
ed to completion.
Last year the rice crop in this
section suffered hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, said G. w. 10y
man, secretary of the company,
through lack of water that was
running to waste down the chan
mel of the Atchafalaya. Growers
would have been glad to pay scores
Of dollars per acre for an assured
water supply. This year they can
have all the water they can use for
a dollar an acre a year. And that
price of a dollar an acre represents
only a nominal charged designed
to pay, over period of eight
years, for the money expended in
actual dredging and construction
operations. After that the water
will he free, and the locks, damns
and control systems will revert to
the government. But during the
eight years rice growers in four
paishes will be able to get water
for their crops i'm overlooking
abundance Water from the At
chafalaya. which is really distri-
butary of the Mississippi. will he
flowing in the Vermillion four
months from today at the latest.
Last year the rice acreage in st.
Martin parish doubled. In st.
Landry, Lafayette and Vermillion
parishes it greatly increased. Sc.
cretary Layman of the waterways
company predicts that the acreage
for the district benefited by the
system will more than double
again. The company contracted
10 water $4,000 acres of rice land
'long the upper Teche and lower
Iermillion last year. with only
set of pumps at Port
Barre to supply water, and this,
avs Mr.. Layman, is only drop
n the bucket.
