/ see that nearly every person
that leaves Grant parish in search
of better homes, and aftsrward ex-
press themselves through your pa
per in regard to the change they
have made, say they regret leaving
old Grant / asked q man the 9TH
or day that left Grant and moved
to Texas and lived there FIVE years
land he never lived two years in
the same county, which he liked
est. Hs answered, 81 w)ald not
live in Texas if the best forty acres
of land in the State was made q
present to me-" know of several
men who are now in Texas that
once lived here and owned q good
hill farm, had completed houses to
live in, good barns and out houses,
plenty Of stock to do them, out of
debt, and doing we'll. They sold
their stock and land for small
price, q great deal less that it can
be bought for now. Nothing but a
move would do. It was Texas or
bust, and sure enough they got
there bat busted on the way, or
soon after Trey got there, and now
say through some paper or private
letter to friend or relative some
thing like this: eff you will be adj
vised by me you will stay where
you are, for we have not found as
good . country for a poor man as
Grant parish" A man cannot live
here without money and ever ex-
pect to own land.
Mr.. Editor, do not understand
me to say that Grant parish is the
garden spot of tine world, but I
think it is as good as can be found
in Louisiana. Both river and hill
landlare cheap and can be bought
on easy terms. We have plenty of
wood and water, and stock of all
kinds do we'll. Cattle and sheep
live through the winter with little
feeding. l bought twelve head of
sheep in january last that had not
been fed until I bought them. I
fleeced in April eleven ewes and
one buck, and / got thirty-seven
pounds of wool. Fruit Of most
kinds do well here, but the peach
crop is not as good this year as last,
but I think corn, cotton and pota-
toes are about as good, and more
planted this year than last. /
think corn can be bought this year
for Soc per Dbl here in the hills.
So you may guess that If corn can
be sold for that price We have .
good corn crop. Cotton looks well,
but we cannot tell yet for certain
how much it will make. I hear
that the members of Ada farmers
union are going to build a union
gin in time to gin the present crop.
l wish them success, and may we
hear soon that others are doing the
same. Wishing you and your pa
per great success, ! remain respect

Prohibition Convention.

The convention Of non-partisan Pro-
hibitonists at the Alexandria meeting
last year decided to hold the next con-
vention about the middle of August, but
left to its Executive committee to deter
mine the precise date, the locality and
basis OF representation.
Having duly considered the matter il
has been determined to hold three days
session in Monroe on August %, % and
"a, and that each parish shall be entitled
to twice as many delegates as it has men,
bers in the house of representatives. In
addition each member OF the State and
parish executive committees shall be ex-
oficio delegate, and every church, Sum-
day school and temperance organization
in Louisiana is entitled to representation.
A cordial invitation is extended to each
union of the w. g. T. o. to send one or
more Of their members as delegates to
this convention.
A committee selected from the leading
citizens of Monroe will have charge of
the entertainment of delegates and the
well-established reputation of this beau
tiful city for hospitality is full guarantee
that they will leave nothing to be desired
in this direction.
Such arrangements as are possible will
be made with the railroad companies for
reduced fares and timely announcements
thereof made.
Every possible effort viii be made to
secure full attendance and distinguished
speakers from this and other States will.
it is believed, render this occasion one of
universal interest.
In conclusion we repeat from the an
nouncement Of last year shat this is only
wave Of that non-partisan prohibition
movement that is striving so nightly in
every southern State, strictly within the
lines Of present political organizations,
and which aims to draw all persons of ev-
cry party, creed, sex and race who can
see no good reason why the normal rate
of taxation should be increased four-fold
in order that mere handful of men may
be protected in selling poison to the rest
and propose to make this "a government
of the people, for the people and by the
people" instead of, in the language Of Ca
non Wilberforce, "a government Of the
whisky traffic, for the whisky traffic and
by the whisky traffic"

refine a million tons year. This
will give them a neat little profit of
thirteen or fourteen million dollars
on plant which is certainly not
worth over twenty millions. SO you
can see for yourself whether the trust
is likely to pay. OF course, these
figures may be lowered, and then
again they might be increased. An
eighth of a cent one way or the other
means millions in the business"
The refneries which have not join
ed the trust are making a great pie
out of the trusts limitation of pro
duction and raise of price. They are
running day and night, week days
and Sundays, to their fullest capacity,
and by selling a shade off the trusts
prices they have no trouble in getting
rid of their goods at once. Harrison,
Frazier 4 Co. are reported to be
making 100000 a month and have
none of the od1um which attaches TO
the trust concerns, "The trust is
good enough for me-" Mr.. Harrison
said day or two ago. "We can
stand this sort of thing as long as it
lasts"
The North River Refining Com
pany has no hard feeling against the
trust either. A year ago it was offer
ed for sale at less than $150,000 it is
said, and has sold out to the trust for
S225,0OO.
There is painful side of the shut
ting down of the big refneries by the
Sugar Trust. The laborers who
worked in them formerly got $40 per
month. Now they are paid 12a cents
per hour, and only paid when actu-
ally at work. They are getting
starvation wages, as may be
easily conceived. Most of the men
are Poles and Bohemians; and how
they subsist on what they make is a
mystery to the human mind. The
sugar king of New York would seem
about as generous as the coal baron
of the Lehigh region.
This, briefly, is a picture of the
trust commercial. The woods are
full of them. There is Lard trust,
Cotton-seed Oil Trust, Steel Trust,
Cattle trust, a Whisky trust, and
many others. The rubber men are
working hard to form a trust, but so
far they have failed to agree, and it
now seems likely that the attempt
will fall through.

The sugar importers have not made
up their minds what the ultimate
figures will be, for the reason that
there was very large sugar crop in
Louisiana this year, which has natu-
rally depressed prices and kept the
western market supplied. Thie crop
will be used up in three or four weeks,
and then more refneries win start
up, but whether that will mean higher
or lower prices for refined, the sugar
men say they cannot yet tell. The
importers are all idle. Like Micaw-
Der, they are waiting for something
to turn up. They are all desperately
afraid to tell what they know about
tho trust, for they say the combina-
ton would crush them if they were
known to peach. Not but what they
are pretty well crushed already, but
there is always hope that some
change in the aspect of affairs may
take place
R:th fear and trembling q. gentle
man prominent in the trade did a
little figuring for the benefit of the
world. "There is" he said, at
present prices profit of 11-16 cents
per pound to refine sugar, or in round
figures $14 per ton, and the trust will

A TEST OF SEED CORN.
MORAN, KAN, Dec, T. IS

MORAN, KAN. Dec. 4, IS.
To the editor of the Register:
DEAR SIR: Last spring it was pro-
posed by some of the subscribers of
THE REGISTER that someone should
try several of the different varieties of
corn, giving them all the same treat.
ment and report the result. We offer
ed to do so but there were only four
kinds sent in. To these we added some
of our own seed. We planted an acre
of each kind side by side. The corn
was planted east and west. On the
east side was Whist we called field of
oats but which proved to be field of
chinch bugs. They completely took
the east side of the corn and damaged
q good many more so that when we
came to gather we only gathered "A
square rods of each kind for the trial
The ground was all plowed at the same
time. The corn was planted April %.
We began planting at the north side
and put in "a rows of each kind in the
following order:
~ Y L" seed furnished by J. C.
Strong.

Chas. Null.

berry" which is red, the varieties were
all yellow. They all received exactly
,the same treatment all the way
through. We had very poor stand
all the way through with the "IXL"
as it did not GENE up well. And we
