Cane Syrup at IS Cents a Gallon.

A few days ago, there appeared
in the New Orleans newspapers the
announcement that a large canning
concern had reduced the price of
cane syrup to 81 gallon. Harry
d. Wilson, commissioner of agricul-
ture and immigration, upon seeing
the announcement, stated that syrup
had been advertised through the Mar
ket Bulletin, for many months at IS
to rs cents per gallon. Said Mr..
Wilson:
eve note from your issue of yes
terday that price of cane syrup has
been slashed to dollar gallon. We
wish to state for your information,
that for the past five or six months,
thousands of gallons Of the very
best pure cane syrup, made without
chemicals, has been offered by the
farmers of Louisiana through our
Bureau of Markets at figure much
below one dollar per gallon. Note
enclosed bulletin, and you will see
syrup being offered from sixty cents
to seventy-five cents per gallon. In
our opinion there will be between
eight and ten million gallons of syrup
produced in the hill parishes Of
Louisiana this season. We sincerely
hope that the producers may be able
20 find market for this splendid
Louisiana product.

THE RICE SITUATION.

Rice harvesting is being speeded
up throughout this section and the
work is well advanced. With favor
able weather conditions many of the
farmers will complete operations
early during the month. The prices,
while not as good as might have
been desired, are fair, and seem to
be improving every day. The de-
mand is brisk and sales are being
made at prices which insure a fair
profit. Some of the planters have
sold their entire crops; others have
disposed of part only, while others
still are holding back in the hope
that better prices will prevail later.
At the beginning sales were made as
low as 1926 a barrel; recently some
farmers obtained as much as $4.25
per barrel. The opinion prevails
among some of the best posted farm
ers, that if the rice producers could
organize and arrange to keep their
rice off the market for a while, they
would obtainsa better figure for their
product. Under the present system
of rushing the crops to market as
soon as they are gathered, the farm
ers are placed entirely at the mercy
of the millers and spectators, who
purchase the cereal for a price much
lower than it would command under
well organized and we'll defined
sytem of marketing.

|LocALs DEFEAT BRUsLY TEAM.
Splendid Game Witnessed by Large
and Enthusiastic Crowd.

The Brusly St. Vincent baseball
aggregation went down in defeat be-
fore the Donaldsonville bunch, in a
well played and exciting game at
the fair grounds last Sunday, the
score being to 8. The "moss backs"
came here with the expectations that
their opponents would be easy pick
ing, but returned to the tall timbers
much sadder but wiser as a result OF
their experience. They put up a
spirited battle, however, and need
not feel ashame of their defeat.
Falcon of the visitors pitched an ex-
cellent game, allowing the home boys
only five hits, two of which were
scratches in the ninth coupled with
a wild throw enabling the local lads
to reach home with the winning
score.
Hanson, who twirled for the To-
Gals, allowed the visitors one hit in
the first inning, and in the second
the Brusly boys touched him for
three safeties, which coupled with
a very costly error by Forrest in
right field, put three runs over the
bag. After the second Hanson set
tied down and held the visitors to
four hits during the balance of the
game.
The visitors almost scored in the
fifth. With two men on base, occu-
pying first and second, and only
one down, Hanson had chance for
double play but only made a single.
A ball driven by C. Landry Of the
visitors in deep short and which look
ed like a safe hit, was caught by
Vitale, thus preventing run and
retiring the side.
The features of the game was the
field work of Fontana, Vitale, Blum
and Richard, and the batting Of Ri
chard and Blum, the former getting
two-sacker in the third and the lat
ter out of four times up two sing
les and a sacrifice for the locals.
For the visitors the field work of
the two Prejeans-Wallace and
Robert-and R. Daigle in right and
A. Daigle in left and C. Landry in
center, was also good as was the bat
ting Of Dugas, catcher for the visi
tors, who connected for two safeties,
out Of four times at The bat.
The game was witnessed by one OF
the largest and most enthusiastic
crowds ever seen at the fair grounds
on similar occasions. The team is
improving all the time and is now
considered the best all-home-talent
team in the state.
The official box score follows:

Appreciates Ad Make-Up.

The Chief received letter from
the New Orleans Brewing AS
sociation few days ago, compli-
aenting it upon the make up of
the company's big ad, which appears
on the front page of the paper. The
letter reads in part as follows: "We
desire to acknowledge receipt of the
paper of the 9th inst, and wish to
compliment you on the set-up of the
lad; it is all that can be desired. The
arrangement is very neat and the
TYPE is more than we expected,
and the set-up can compare favor
lably with any paper in the country.
We desire to thank you for the class
|of the ad."
Such a letter coming as it does,
lentirely unsolicited, is highly appre-
ciated by The Chief.

Coal Of An Exceptional Quality.

Liberty coal is an exceptionally
good grade Of coal for either steam
or domestic purposes. The seam
where this coal is mined, is unusually
free from impurities. The coal will
not clinker and repeated tests by a
large manufacturing plant in this
city, show that liberty coal runs much
higher in heat units than the aver
age coal from the same fields. The
Liberty mines are equipped with the
very latest modern mining machi-
merry. The coal is cut by electric
cutting machines, which operation
produces the minimum amount of
slack and brings the coal out in large,
blocky Jumps. The coal then passes
over vibrating perforated screens.
which takes out all the slack and
separates the coal into the different
sizes; nut, egg, No. l lump and g.
inch fancy block. The coal then
passes over a picking table where
foreign matter such as rock, slate,
ETC., is picked out by hand. We are
very proud of liberty coal and the
many letters we get comalimenting us
on its good qualities, prove that it
has a very enviable reputation,
Elray kocke, dealer, Donaldsonville
