The State Press Convention.
General Jastreuiski. president of
the Louisiana Press Association, lias
issued his call for tin* annual conven
tion of 1 lie association, lixing the
time for the meeting outlie 13ta of
May. The meeting will be held this
year in the thriving little city of Thib
odaux. Lafourche parish, where pre
parations are being made by the
generous-hearted and progressive
citizens to entertain the representa
tives of the press in the grandest and
most hospitable style. One of the
pleasurable features of the meeting
will be a day's ride on board of a
steamboat outlie placid bosom of the
famed Lafourche river, where the
sight-seer will be surrounded with
the most enchanting aud romantic
scenery and be enabled to take iu the
beauty and loveliness of that delight
ful semi-tropical region of this grand
State of ours.
Every member of the Louisiana
Pres» Association should be present at
this meeting, and every newspaper
man and woman who is not a member
should attend the Thibodaux meeting
and there become a member. We owe
it to ourselves as members of a great
and noble profession to encourage and
cultivate the amenities of professional
and associational brotherhood. \Ye
owe it to the readers of our respective
journals to acquaint ourselves with the
different sections of our State, that we
may speak intelligently when we have
occasion to write about auy particular
section. We owe it to this'great State
of ours to cultivate that spirit of bro
therhood with the people of every sec
tion of the State that will eradicate
from our minds aud hearts every feel
ing of sectionalism, and recognize only
a unity of interest and oneness of pur
pose in the common effort to elevate
this grand State of ours to the proud
prominence of equality iu all thiugs
with her sister States of the Union.
This we, as journalists, can most effec
tually' accomplish by a personal know
ledge of the necessities of tiie various
sections of our State, which can best
be attained by a personal acquaintance
with those sections and tlieir people.
This is the object sought in holding
these press conventions at different
points throughout the State, each year
at a different place.
And further, by placing ourselves
under the associational bond, we have
the benefit of the counsel and* ex
perieuee of each other; which
makes us wiser, and elevates the tone
of our associated press by inspiring
those associated with the dignity that
alone is born of a knowledge of the
importance of their calling. In the
great effort that is now being made to
bring 'Louisiana into prominence as a
desirable locality for homc-seckcrs
(and in which the press of the State
is leading) we, as journalists, need to
counsel together and acquaint our
selves with each other to bring about
the greatest good from a co-operative
effort. It is our duty and should be
our pleasure to cultivate this associa
tioual relationship. For the good of
Louisiana journalism we trust that the
Thibodaux convention will have the
largest attendance of any convention
in the history of our association ; ami
that every editor in the State who is
not already a member will attend
and join the association.— Riiston Cali

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING MARCH 23, 1889.
The weather during the past week
lias been very favorable to agricultu
ral pursuits in all portions of the State.
The rainfall during the early part of
the week was needed and very ad van
tageous, softening the ground, giving
vegetation an impetus and bringing up
the corn. Reports from observers
state that, the corn is nearly all plant
ed and that preparations are being
made in the northern part of the State
for planting eottou next week.
In the sugar region observers report
that planters are pushing ahead with
tlieir field work, digging stubble cane,
scraping plant cane and planting corn,
and that better weather for this class
of work could be desired. There is a
promise of a good crop of cane, both
fall plant and cane looking well. Rice
planting is general aud the weather
conditions were very beneficial there
to. In a few of the southern parishes
observers reported that the weather
had been too dry lately for the vege
taliou, but the general rains falling
throughout the State to-day will re
lieve this want.

The Diffusion Proem.
The process of making sugar by dif
fusion is now nn fait accompli. This
means for the sugar producing parish
es of our State, in the near future, a
condition of financial prosperity not
enjoyed by any other people in the
United States. The yield of sugar per
acre has been so augmented by' diffu
sion that there is more money iu the
culture of cane than in any other agri
cultural product kuown to man. What
we need now is more labor to bring
into cultivation the abandoned plan
tations interspersed throughout the
sugar parishes, aud we want besides,
live men with capital sufficient to put
up diffusion plants that will consume
all the cane that can be grown iu the
country.
In this parish the production of su
gar can be increased five fold with
proper and sufficient plants for the
manufacture of sugar. With proper
encouragement we ought to get in this
parish two thousand sturdy nhd indus
trious immigrants iu less than two
years. This addition in our popula
tion would double our sugar crop and
give a permanent value to our lands
at double the price they now com
mand. We cannot now shut our eyes
to the fact that Northern aud Western
capital is bciug largely invested in the
South and that in a comparatively
short time, white immigrants will till
up, not only all the available waste
lands but will, iu many instances, be
come the proprietors of many of our
best appointed plantations.
Had we emulated the example of
Calcasieu we would to-day boast of an
increase in our white population of
over two thousand tillers of the soil.
Not only are our lands adapted to cane
culture, for truck-farming has taken a
foothold in many sections of our pa
rish, and is growing satisfactorily.
Therefore, it behooves not only the pa
rochial authorities but individuals as
well, to do something in the way of
Offering proper inducements to" the
honest and industrious immigrants
who are looking southward for their
homes. Aud right here we desire to
point out the proper method to pursue,
so far as the sugar planter is concern
ed. Let the plantations la* divided
into farms and sold to that class of
immigrants who can and will buy
such places. Such a division, in nine
cases out of ten. will make the planter
rich and still leave him unrestricted
as a manufacturer, in which capacity
he will be iu good trim to add to his
wealth, and need have no fears of the
political demagogues who, for politi
cal advancement, delude the poor ne
groes into the belief that they ought
to strike for higher wages every time
a crop has to be harvested.—Iberville
