THE OIL FIELD.

Yesterday we were shown some
telegraphic correspondence sent
10 Mr.. J. w. Scully by the Lou
isiana Central Petroleum Com
Danv of New York City to the eff
feet that all arrangements were
now perfected to have drilling
outfits on some Of their holdings
near the Little Bayou oil field
within thirty days. This cOrpo-
ration represented here by Mr..
Scullv have several thousand
acres Of land in the East Side OF
Bayou Teche in the near promXity
to Loreauville and for several
months have been diligently at
work laying plans for develop
ment.
There is no reason why other
capitalists should not take another
shot in the Little Bayou oil field
where it is proven that the liquid
fluid is there in abundance. The
New Iberia Oil Company's well is
still paying proposition, pump
ing every twenty-four hours from
twelve to fifteen barrels.
The Detroit Canadian Oil Co.,
here by Mr.. D. J.
McPhee are rapidly getting things
into shape to begin drilling on the
lands acquired from PatOut Bros.
on Spanish Lake. Once these two
commence active opera
ton no doubt other oil corpora
tions will readily be attracted to
this Parish.

"Under the plan,' said Sena-
tor Doussan, the individual par
ishes could determine for them
selves just what number Of the
scholarships it was entitled to
should be issued. Some of the
parishes might want to issue all
allowed them, others might want
to issue only one or two, depend
ing on the state Of their finances.
"The scholarships could be Civ
en- to young men and women who
had proved themselves worthy
and they could be placed in any
institution Of learning approved
by the State Board of Education.
The institution might be To-
Gated anywhere lin the country
and it might be Methodist, Cath
Ole, PRESBYTERIAN or an non-sec-
tartan institution. This would
enable the student, under certain
regulations, to attend a college
or institution of his family's Xix
ing.
AT the present time, one of
Louisiana's greatest problems is
that of obtaining enough efficient
teachers to meet its needs. This
plan should help out materially
IN this, for each student accepting
one of the scholarships would
promise to return after training
was completed and teach in the
of the parish from which
re was given the scholarship for a
certain number of years. .

RICE CULTURE.

Rice produces its largest yields
on clay soils that are not too de
ficient in organic matter, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The land selected for
rice culture should lie in level
tracts that can be cheaply
drained.
The crop requires an abundant
and always available supply of
fresh water. and to obtain good
yields of high-grade rice ample
drainage facilities must be pro
vided.
The surface soil Of the seed bed
should DE loose and finely pull
verified to a depth of at least 2
inches.
The field Ievees should be low,
broad, and permanent and con
structed on contour lines at dis
tances which will hold the water
at an average depth Of ) inches.
They also should be seeded to
rice. This will increase the cul-
tivated area and leave no mcul-
tivated strips in the field for the
growth of weeds.
The harvested rice should be
put into strongly built shocks
that should be well capped to pro-.
feet the grain from the sun as
well as from the rain. Thrashing
should not be done until the rice
has remained in the Shock for at
least two weeks.

BOARD OF AFFAIRS RAISE
ASSESSMENTS ON FARM
FARM LAND.

In a communication to Assessor
Cesaire J. Labauve Of date March
8th, Mr.. R. w. Riordan, Acting
Chairman of the State Board Of
Affairs made it known that
another classification Of farm land
had been made by the State Board
of Affairs of Louisiana. Mr.. La
bauve Of course was urged to
guide himself accordingly in de
termining values. In other words
Glass A lands of Iberia was raised
from $50 to $50 per acre; Glass B
from $40 to $45. Class C land
will remain at $4,000.

MEASURE MAY STOP
TEACHER SHORTAGE

Baton Rouge, La, May ia
bill designed to help solve Louis
iana's problem Of developing a
corps of efficient teachers, great
enough in number to really meet
the educational needs Of the state,
will be introduced in the Senate
probably next week by Senator J.
E. Doussan Of Lutcher.
The measure will authorize the
police iurieS Of the various parish
es to allot scholarships in insti-
tutions approved of by the State
Board of Eucation to young men
and women who agree. after they
have finishes their course, to spend
a fixed period of years as teachers
in the school of the state.
Under Senator Doussan s plan,
the period which they would be
to spend teaching would
be fixed at from two to five years.
The exact length Of time will be
decided by him and designated in
the bill.
The number of scholarships
that might be issued probably will
be limited in the bill to one from
each ward and three at large
from each parish. The expendi-
lures Involved would be paid for
out of the general fund Of the in
dividual parishes.
