Food for Thought.

Arcadia Advance: The Press Convention of
the State Of Louisiana, met at Lake
Charles last Spring; the editors, when they
returned to their respective homes, as q mat
ter OF course spoke of the country in the high
est terms; the result is, that immigrants and
prospectors are pouring into that country by
the hundred which proves beyond doubt
that there is virtue in printers ink. Do our
people want this country developed into a
perfect garden spot? If SO, let us a. unite
and work harmoniously together for that end.
Hercules said TO the wagner, "Put your
shoulder to the Wheel Capital seeking in
vestment says to Louisianians, /" Show your
natural advantages before calling for help"
Of what uses are there in natural advantages
five do not utilize them, and do not bring
them to the attention of others Let us push
our natural advantages to the front, and de-
velop the countless resources of this great
State.-Ex.
A propos Of the coming meeting OF the Lou
islana Press Association at Opelousas, the fol-
lowing extracts from the Dallas TEX Times.
Herald are highly suggestive:
The Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and
Texas editors all meet about May They can
all be brought to Dallas without the least
trouble. An invitation is all that is necessary.
In fact, the editors of the three former states
want to come, and the regular meeting of the
latter is to be held in Dallas anyhow. To
secure the presence of all in Dallas would be
the best thing Dallas ever done. From Dallas
they could go to Fort Worth and thence to
Austin to witness the ceremonies of opening
the capitol. The Merchants Exchange gener-
ally looks out for matters that would benefit
the city. This is one of them. Let that insti-
tuition attend to it at once.
The Times Herald suggests that the press
fraternity of the city meet and organize o
local press club to aid the city in the enter
tainment of the Texas Press Association in
May, and to cooperate with the Merchants
Exchange and officers of the State Associa-
ton in extending an invitation also to the as
sociations of Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennes-
see to visit Dallas in May

Intensive Farming.

For the information and benefit Of our
readers we copy the following letter from the
Claiborne Guardian
) Editor Guardian You asked me some
weeks ago to give my experience in the use OF
commercial fertilizers this year and my pro-
cess of preparing the land and using tho fer
tilizer.
selected one acre of hill land that had
been in cultivation at least forty years-a
kind of gray sandy land. This land was in
cotton last year, the rows being four feet
aaart. Early in January opened deep the
old water furrow by running through twice
therein twenty bushels Of cotton seed, cover
ing tie seed with two burrows, one on each
side. On the 28th day of April, L opened the
bed or ridge covering the seed, by running
two furrows with a round shovel, and distrib-
uted three hundred and fifty pounds of Solu-
BILE Pacific guano thoroughly, mixed with two
hundred pounds of Acid Phosphate, covered
this fertilizer with two furrows, one on each
side and broke ont the middles. l then open-
ed and put down the seed When the plant
was up ran around with an eleven inch heel
sweep and then chopped out to stand. After
this used a twenty-five inch heel sweep
only and laid by on a level. From this one
acre gathered two thousand one hundred
and eighteen lbs. of seed cotton. With this
years experience to guide me, ] expect next
year to make, with the aid of this CONNER
cial Fertilizer, four bales to the acre. And
this is not impossible, for our lands are far
superior to the lands of Georgia and Alabama,
and the papers tell us with what great sue
cess they meet in wisely using these fertiliz-
ers. All we lack iu their use is experience as
to quantity and plowing it in the ground.
