The Crowley Signal of June 3, says: Extreme dry weather throughout Southwest Louisiana has retarded planting somewhat this week, but a large amount of rice has been planted. More rice has gone in the ground this week than during any week since the beginnit; of the season. It is now roughly estimated that about one-third of the 1904 acearge has been planted in this section. Rain in the next few days will be necessary for further planting and if conditions are favor able a fifty or possibly a sixty per cent acreage may he planted. More than sixty per cent is now regarded as impossible, and a forty per cent acreage is regaded as nearer the mark. There will be a very heavy fallin off in the vicinity of Iota. Under the most favorable conditions no moe'e than forty per cent of last year's acreage would have been p)lanted in the Iota section. but prominent farm ers conversant with conditions now agree that thirty per cent will prob ably be the outside limit. Around Crowley plautiug has pro gressed sastisfautori~ this week, in spite, of the: dry weather. Most of the pumping plants have started and a number of fields are under water. There will be a large acreage of volunteer rice this year, many farmers having simply closed their levees and turned water on their fields for the purpose of raising a crop of red rice. Many of these fields near Crowley are up to a good stand with excellent prospect for an unusually good volunteer crop. The local rice market shows a strong demand at good price, but very little rice is moving, even at the l prices offered, on account of the feel ing that Japans will go to four cents, A small quanity of Japs, a little bet ter than medium, and considerably short of choice goods, sold on this market yesterday it three and three eighths. The sarýe goods went beg a mouth ago at on: and seven-eighths. 1 Large number of buyers from the l'acifi Coast, thu Atlantic seaboard and the large central markets are visiting this market daily, but only odd lots are being secured by them. The bulk of the rice is being held for higher prices. Last year fully 3,000 acres of cotton was raised on lands for'~ '-rly devoted to rice. This year i. on will be raised on rice land. Curn is being planted more generally than ever be fore and the parish of Acadia will have the largest acreage of potatoes in its history. Farmers are also en of gaging in live stock and the number s of swine in the parish has at least d doubled within the last twelve-month. * One firm of farmers at Egan, ten miles northwest of Crowley, has twenty e acres of truck and will ship three car loads of potatoes in about ten days.

The Houstan Post of May 16 says: ' One touch of sorrow makes the whole world akin, one touch of human na ture makes mankind glorious, one touch of charity softens the hardest heart. That's why East Fifth street, i between Rusk and Calhoun, is closed to travel. The little 4-year-old daughter of Mlr. and Mrs. Charles Dickinson is lying dangerously ill. Intense quite is essential for her re covery. The jolting noises of travel on the street in front of the house hindered her progress to health. The situation was laid before the city authorities. As Alexander cut the Gordian knot, so diC the city authori ties comply with the request to have the street closed to travel. Heretofore streets have been closed on account of improvement being made, presidential parades, street fairs and carnivals, for the laying of pavements and a hundred and one other things. But reasons that worm their way into the hearts of mankind, that are not marred by the jingle of dollars, prompted this last order of the city authorities. And not a single complaint has been nor will a single complaint be registered with the city on account of this section of the street being closed. The World's Fair.

Is SIXTY PER CENT ACREAGE. $'.50 Now is Equivalent to $3.00 Six MIonths Hence. "My idea is that there will be a sixty per cent acreage in Louisiana this year." So spoke S. Locke Bireaux, rice commission man and former president of the Board of Trade of New Orleans, in conversa tion with a Times-Rlecord reporter at the Mahaffey I otel Monday night. Mr. Breaux left New Orleans last Wednesday for a trip through the Louisiana rice belt and has spent fit e days traveling from one rice field to another in a buggy. This trip was made for the purpose of finding the acreage of the rice crop this year. "And I think that is going to mean that present advance in prices will he sustained into the new crop," con tinued Mr. Breaux. "This acreage means, that with favorable growing and crop conditions, there will be a maximum crop in Louisiana and Texas of three and at half million bags. I consider the outlook bright, although I believe the mill men will be the men to complain for the obvious reason that there will not be rice enough to go around as far as they are concerned. But their scramble will mean the profit of the growers who will get outside prices of what he makes. "I don't think it wise to hold back too much. Present values are much better than we figured on and the time to sell is when buyers want the goods. If we set our peg too high, buyers will drop out and then your quotations will become nominal and to get the trade interested means cut ting of prices. "Don't forget that it costs money to carry rice and that $2.50 now is equivalent to $3.00, six months hence. If we continue to work the stock off, it will mean that we will go next season with a normal supply but if we hold back and carry over every thing and in addition to that, the Lord is good to us and gives us a maximum yield, maybe prices won't be so high as some of us think and hope for."

Savant's Sentence Affirmed. The only decision of local interest rendered by the supreme court yester day was in State vs. Pierre Savant, in which the court says: 1. Act 134 of 1890, p. 174, makes it unlawful to abduct a woman of pre vious chaste character. If in an in dictment under this act it be necessary to specify any particular house to which the woman was taken, such re quirement is satisfied by the naming of such house. 2. For the purpose of showing the abduction proof that the abducted woman was taken to other houses is admissible for showing the purpose of the abduction. 3.
