wise would follow q continuation of
the existing situation. Ample funds
now are available for all immediate
requirements in saving the crops and
in their orderly marketing.
In discussing the details Of the plan
as relates to the cotton and rice crops,
Mr. Barry said that meeting Of the
sugar interests, including planters,
manufacturers and bankers, would be
held Friday night in New Orleans to
formulate a general plan for rendering
all the desired assistance to the sugar
planters, and that some satisfactory
plan would be the result Of that meet,
ing. Thus the big interests Of Lafa-
yette parish, sugar, cotton and rice,
would be amply financed over the pres
ent furry.
1t Is exceeding fortunate for the
planters and for the business interests
Of the parish at large that there is an
institution in the community big
enough to handle such a situation as
that which now is depressing not only
the farmers, but every other line Of
business in the parish. And in meeting
the emergency the Bank of Lafayest
and Trust company is fulfilling its de
eiared mission as a community builder
and promoter.
According to Mr.. Barry, the financi-
al assistance thus made available be-
comes effective at once and farmers
throughout the parish are being in
formed that their temporary financial
difficulties will be solved through the
medium of this institution. Exact de-
tails may be had at the mother bank
or any of its branches, Broussard,
Carencro, Duso, Scott, Youngsville.

stuff used by all banks, but as every
thing ordered and needed had not
shown up promptly, due to abnormal
