& VEGETABLES T0 60 IN“SUGAR BOWL” Hoover to End Louisiana Tour Today, Hearing Re- ports at Baton Rouge. BY REX COLLIER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. BATON ROUGE, La., June 1l.— Louisiana hopes to use her “sugar bowl"—now almost devoid of sugar— s a vegetable dish. Even then the bowl’s contents will be sparse. At the present moment it | 1s, and for some time to come will be, halt filled with water, like a gigantic vl. When it is emptied lat; r August by a merciful provi dence Louisis it a small quantity of cabbage, some beets, a little rice and corn and maybe a half portion of sweet potatoes. | A little vegetable oil for seasoning may be added—the oil in this instance | coming from crushed soy beans. | Outside of these prodycts and the | little suzar not affected by the water | 1gar bowl”—pronounced Hoover as the richest | ho worli—is likely to | ickings” to its customers this tragic season. For Month Longer. Southern Louisiana, west of the Miss will be in the throes of | the flood for probably a month longer. All the water accumulated by the | ppi and its tributaries in their mad journey to the South has been pouring into the State for several weeks, and from predictions made to | Mr. Hoover during his survey there | seems but little hope that the water | will leave before late in July or early | in August. | This forecast applies especially to | Terrebonne and parishes.” thege parishes is exceedingly dark, Mr. Hoover learned yesterday in con- ference with relief officials and plant- | ers from those sections. More than 50,000 acres of fertile cane, rice and corn lands in those parishes are under water. The cane flelds have been “drowned out,” and the rice plantations, ordinarily in ‘need of some moisture for its irrigated fields, have been forced to shut down by the superabundance of water sup: plied by the swollen Atchafalaya and Mississippl. Rice will stand a little water, but when the tide cuts off all 1ts air, it smothers and dies as though 1t belonged to the animal kingdom. Problem of Rehabilitation. ‘With its principal industry—agricul- ture—paralyzed for an indefinite period, the State is confronted with | an economic problem that is bafling Jocal, State and Federal officials. There are more than 50,000 refugees in camps of the Red Cross, and the work of rehabilitating them—of returning | them to their homes and starting them on the road to self-support—is a mat- | ter for future concern. Repatriation is impossible when the places from which they fled still languish beneath several feet of flood water. The question of how long the Red Cross will be forced to support these stricken families is one that is per- plexing Secretary Hoover, Vice Chair- man Fieser of the Red Cross and | other relief authorities. There are several arguments against maintaining the camps in- definitely. One of these is that the Jong duration of this care may “pauperize” the people, to use the word of the Secretary—may make them listless about earning their own living and incline them later to become a liability to the community. Another is the limited funds avail- able for such relief. Help Self-Helping. “The Red Cross and the American people want to help those who are willing to help themselves,” Mr. ! Hoovert declared at New Orleans. i “We are going to see that every ' one who has been made destitute in this catastrophe is supplied with # food and shelter until he is able to resume his regular occupation. “But every effort should be made to hasten the time when these people can be removed from the charity list and started out on the road to self- sufficiency. My suggestion is, at first blush, that you take these farm hands and_laborers and loggers and other workers from their own parishes and put them to work in parishes where the water is not halting industry.” “But we are afraid that, if w8 send them away, they will never come back and we will find ourselves without labor for our plantations and farms,” one plantation owner protested. Will Complete Tour. “That is an economic development that it seems to me the State should take a hand in. It is not a problem | for us to consider now, with other | problems of the immediate future at ! hand to wrestle with,” replied Mr. | Hoover. “Mr, Secretary, I want you to know | that our parish is busted,” persisted the planter. | "“No one is busted until he gives up fighting,” snapped the Commerce Sec- retary, emphatically. | Mr. Hoover today will complete his | inspection tour of Louisiana, when he | | hears reports from a few remaining | parishes at a relief conference here | this afternoon. The survey of the | whole valley will end Monday, when | he will hear of Mississippi’s plight at | & conference in Jackson. The Secre- tary and his party expect to be back in Washington Wednesday, to return | 1o the flood area again within a week | or two. “GUILTY” IS RUMORED | IN WARSHIP MISHAP, Newspaper Says Capt.
