Pecan Crop Short.

A Bulletin by the u. 8. Agricultural
Bureau OF Economics states that the
pecan crop in the United States this
season bids fair to be shorter than for
number Of years, the present con-
dition Of the crop as whole now
being 27.7 per cent 0f normal, while
that Of the crop in Louisiana Is only
25 per cent of normal. The bad con-
dition Of this crop this year is ascribed
to many causes, principally frost and
rain damage to bloom, damage from
later excessive rainfall and drouth, in
jury to trees from case bearer, to foil
age from caterpillars, etc, while some
authorities say that 1t Is simply an OF
year, the trees lacking the vitality to
produce good crop this year following
the big yield OF 1921.

Business Is Good.

Interviews with leading Benton mer-
chants during the past week reveal the
fact that business with them Is not
only fairly good at present, but has
been steadily improving for some time.
For this there are several contributOry
reasons. The farmers are getting good
prices for their cotton and other pro-
ducts, pickers are getting good wages
from T5 cents to 81 per 100-several
oil well crews are at work in the parish
not far from Benton; the saw mill and
other local industries are employing
quite number Of men at good wages.
All of these people must buy the neces-
stiles aud comforts Of life, and 1t Il
gratifying to know that Benton lner-
chants are getting their share OF the
business. They carry good stocks Of
goods and their prices compare favor
ably with those Of any, other town u
this section of the state. and they arr
deserving of the patronage Of the peo
pie of the parish. Let the good worl
