COTTON DYING.
The report from almost every
section of the parish, is that a con
S iderable amount of cotton died,
which will reduce the production
of the staple considerably under
the first estimates.
The farmers disagree as to the
cause, some believe it due to some
disease of the plant, while others
think it is due to the prolonged
drouth, and afterward, the occa
sional showers, which scalded' the
plant.
Mr. A. A. Morrow brought us
some of the dead stalks, which are
quite loaded with bolls which are
only about half their usual size.
Mr. Morrow is an intelligent plan
ter, a man who takes a great deal
of interest in the cultivation of all
crops, says he cannot account for
it, but he says the cotton crop in
the parish will be much shorter
than was at first figured on.
Mr. L. C. Gauthier, who is also
one of our progressive planters,
has been reading about the die.
ease of cotton, which he says is
produced by a small white worm
which penetrate the heart of the
stalk by the root.
What looks to be strange, is that
in some places there are three or
four acres of cotton which turn
red and than die, and dry up; in
other places, a few stalks here and
there die in patches of perfectly
healthy cotton, which gives it the
appearance of disease more than
the effect of scalding.
Chronic Diarrhoea Cured.

THE FARMERS. i
Some time ago, when the FPar
mers Institute was held here, a g
committee of farmers was appoin. d
ted for the purpose of taking some it
measure for the organization of at
Farmers Association, which was a
intend to bring the farmers k)ge
ther once a month to discuss mat- or
ters of interest to them.
There is no doubt that the far
aners are more interested in the
cultivation today than ever before, as
and the same thing can be said of ye
the raising of stock and poultry, In
the farmer is realizing the neces- ek
aity of intelligent farming, and are be
ready and willing to listen and the
protit by the experience of others. sel
At different times, during the aj
year, we received here a quantity thE
of spetcimens cmuing from the tin
farms of this parish, which shows Do
a great improvement in the pro
duction of these farms. St.
The past week Mr. Gab. Garde- we
mal brought us some very pretty ing
aspecimens of corn raised by him, tori
sd Mr. Ulysse Bienvenu brought rot
as a stalk of cotrn, coming from see
-e field of MLr. Achille Biyaud,clad
living in Catahoula Cove, having
ý six large, ,vell developed ears of a
fine quality of corn.
LA. j Now, all these things and many
others that could be secured right
in this parish, with the fine breed
ioer. of horses, mules, cows, hogs etc.,
'OF that we know, we have in the pa
mou rish, could make a tine parish fair.
Suppose the farmers, would take
immediate action, organize, and
899. determine to have a parish fair
iwn next Spring. we have no doubt
that it would be a complete suc
very cess. Think of it farmers, we are
con_ sure the people of St. Martinville
lied, will give you all the assistance
:tion they can.

die- "TOWARDS RUTH."
a is The police jury has found the only ra
orm tional way to make good roads. The
he system adopted, like all good things,
may be a little costly at first, but in the
long run it pays to get the best. The =
that roads, east and west and up and down
or the Teche, from Ruth, are in excellent
urn condition. The owners of Ruth will
soon complete their bridge across the
in Teche, which together with the fine road
and lately opened by them, will open a wide
ctly field for Ruth, and a grand apportunity
the for the farmers east of Teche, among
ban whom the Pellerius, Thibodeaux, etc.,
who,'following the progress of the times
anticipated the building of said bridge,
and have already gone in the cane cul
tivatlon. "Ruth" will also have a hoist
hro- and derrick to handle cane from cars
and carts, she has added considerable to
g her appearance, neat and so tastily ar
Co- ranged, that nothing seems out of place I
r or too much. The crops look well, and
the cane is improving daily. The best
cane weighing 4 pounds 4 oz., now at
Va. Labbe's drug store, the next 4 pounds 2 V
oz., from Olivier and Judice; all near H
Ruth.

Corn was neveretter. Cattle are in
Va. healthy condition and Ruth factory has
done a great deal of goods to its section
a and the people seem to appreciate that
fact. A Post office is needed there. The
of lumber for the bridge at Bulliard's Cove
ith is now on the site; the people there seem R
of elated and are in deep earnest to have O.
ab- the same up this year. The only thing At
to mar one's pleasant trip towards Ruth Al
is to see the neglected condition in which B.
that beautiful and comfortable school
building, at La Pointe, the beet in the L.
parish. is allowed to remain, the fence W
ii all down. the weeds are allowed to
a grow and the building itself is aban- Li
in- doned. Unfortunately for that locality,
no it pleased Him, who rules all things, to
a take away from them. one whose kind L.
as and gentle ministerings will be impos
sible to replace. Would it not be pro- Ca
e- per for the President of the Sbchool board Da
it or its Secretary to look up the matter. Pa
