FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE
is PUT OUT IN time
ELECTRIC IRON LEFT CONNECT
ED CAUSED SLIGHT DAMAGE
AT THE HAYES HOME

Friday midnight an alarm was. rung
in for a fire at the residence of c.
L. Hayes, on South Court street. The
alarm as registered at the fire sta
ton showed Box Is, located at the cor
ner of Grolee street and RAILROAD
avenue just the opposite direction
from the fire. However, the alarm
was sent in over the telephone and
the fire truck repaired to the scene
promptly, though few of the fire boys
were on hand.
It was ascentained that the fire was
caused by an electric iron being left
connected to the circuit. 1t burned q
hole through the table and fell to the
floor which in turn was also ignited
burning large hole therein before
discovered. Prompt action upon th'
part of the inmates of the hOus'
averted a conflagration.

Much COTTON MUST
BE REPLANTED AS
RESULT OF FROST
Last Cold Spell Worked
Havoc, According to
Some Farmers
ONE MAN HAS THIRTY
ACRES TO REPLANT
Corn Touched But Not Dam
aged and Has About
Fully Recovered

The frcst of last week worked con-
siderable havoc among some Of the
farmers. according y statemepts
made to a newspaper man this week
Mr.. E. NJ. Dupre, prominent farmer
of Prairie Ronde and one of the mem-
hers of the police jury from the first
ward. while in opelOusas stated
to a reporter that his thirty acres OF
cotton. planted in March and up to
splendid stand, had been practically
ruined by Jack Frost and that he
would be forced to plant it all again.
This same report comes from prac-
tically all sections, especially in the
prairie portions of the parish, where
the fields are unprotected from the
cold blasts. Even in the wooded sec
tions cotton was badly injured and in
many instances will have to be plant
ed again.
Due to the warm weather in Feb
ruary and March many farmers rush
ed their field operations and as soon
as corn was in the ground they be
gan OF get ready for March planting
of cotton. Spring-like temperatures
was a strong incentive for them to get
busy and as the pecan trees be-
gan to put out their foliage all
though there was no danger Of late
frost. This accounts for the extraor.
binary early planting Of cotton this
year. A few, however, wary OF the
tricks Of the weather clerk, held back
and waited until April before start
ing to plant cotton and some OF these
only made a start this week. The
are more fortunate than their early
bird fellows who planted in March pnd
now have all the work over again
However, seed is said to be plentiful
and comparatively cheap and the ex
, pense of replanting is not going to d
/. heavy. as in other years when tn
same work had to be done over.
/ Corn is we'll advanced and some 0
], it which was planted in the earl
e part Of February is now knee-hig
1. and is being worked for the secon
s time. 1t was bitten slightly by tn
o recent frost but not seriously dana
e ed, and the prevailing warm weath'
is bringing it back to normal IN
-s hurry. Some farmers are complai
q ing of damage inflicted on theiv COZ
% by the black beetles that are oftt
=. troublesome at this season of Il
"a year. Apparently they revel in d
=. weather, such as we are now havin
r and generally stop their depreciation
]" with the coming of rain.
le With the exception of the fro
IS damage to cotton, all crops throug
out St. Landry are very promising a.
the harvest this fall viii be up
standard. The rice and the cott
acreage has been materially reduc
n and farmers are growing more COZ
y hay, potatoes and sugar cane tn
formerly and devoting less of tn
time, labor and land to the growi
- of the staple money crops. Low '
, ues for cotton and the inability
market the 1920 crop of rice is
cause of this reduction in acreage
