may not be smiss to remind some Of
the "land poor" plsnters that now Is
Q good time for them to divide their
large places up into email farms. 1tis
impossible for Q great many OF our
large landholdero TO cultivate their
plantations, and owing to this fact,
there is q vast amount Of some Of the
very best farming land In tho State
Of Louisiana nov lying idle. In Q
little while It will be covered with .
second growth. which will take time,
labor and money TO cut down. Now,
10 think the best thing our planters
can do 10 to divide their immense
fields into smaller tracts, 10 order to
put them within the power Of tho
enterprising and industrious class
to purchase. We want capitalists to
como South and invest their money
In our lands, but, ct the same time,
10 think 1t more TO tho future Inter-
estS Of the State TO encourage the
honest. industrious and enterprising
email farmers to settle In our mtdst
and here secure home, for themselves
and children. With our lands cot.
