immigration Convention.

In speaking of the immigration conven-
ton held at Ruston, La, the Baptist Chron-
sche, published at Shreveport, La, says:
Col. Joseph A. Breaux, in representing
the educational interests of Louisiana, gave
evidence of ability and earnestness COM
mensurate with the importance of his sub
ject The address of Prof. s. A. Knapp,
of Lake Charles, on the very interesting
subject, There Are Homes for All in Lou
isiana, was SO replete with sound practi-
cal information, with evidence of broad
and liberal culture and the concomitant
breadtki rand liberality of thought and SEN
timent, that every one was impressed with
the fact that he is not only our best eau
thority on immigration" but an orator of
undoubted ability.
The after-tine Of the convention was
less interesting in that it narrowed the
thought and restricted the view by concen-
trating attention to the different parts or
parishes that combine to form the whole,
the unrivaled State of Louisiana. Each
parish had her chosen orator, to unfurl her
banner to the breeze, and in eloqueS'
terms declare that she, and she alone, was
queen of parishes. Did not all the natives
who sat submerged beneath the waves of
"locaP eloquence regret that they were
born Louisianans, therefore could not re-
ceive the immigrants welcome to coun-
try so favored-the "Queen of all the
sweet South land?"

A Receipt in Full

Do you remember the story of Martin
Luther when Satan came to him, as he
thought, with a long black roll of his sins,
which truly might make swaddIing band
for the rouud world? To the arch enemy
Luther said, Eyes, l must own to them
all. Have you any more?' So the foul
fiend went his way and brought another
longer roll and Martin Luther said, Eyes,
| must own them all. Have you any more p
The accuser of the brethren, being expert
at the business, soon supplied him with a
further length of charges, till there
seemed to be no end TO it. Martin waited
til no more were forthcoming, and then
he cried, "Have you any mo1eY "Were
these not enough ?'."Aye, that they WERE"
But" said Martin Luther, write at the
bottom of the whole account, The blood
of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin. >"
Brethren, this was receipt in full,
stamped in such manner that even Satan
could not question the correctness of it

WHY

We give the following sensible article
from one of our State exchanges which
will be read with interest.
| Why is it that the papers, north, south,
east and west are full of notices, editorials
and communications on the subject of i'm
migration
| Why is it that hardly train comes from
north or east without bringing some one
seeking home in Louisiana?
Why is it that capitalist are buying up
large tracts of Louisiana lands all over the
State?
Why is it that so many new railroads
are being projected in Louisiana?
Why is it that Louisiana capitalists are
beginning to throw off their habitual eau
ton, and are investing their money in
Louisiana enterprises7
Why is it, in short, that the old Pelican
State, which has so long brooded over the
ruins of anti bellum splendor, has sudden
ly burst her hampering shackles of indo
lence and distrust. and throwing off her
twenty years apathy and torpor at once,
stand forth and vigorously compete with
her sister States for her full share of the
vital elements of trade, enterprise and
progress, alive to her need and intent upon
her improvement, from the Arkansas Dor.
der to the Gulf, from the Sabine to the
Mississippi?
Why? Because, the newspapers of to-
day are the histories of the present, record
ing events as they occur, and publishing
facts as they exist.
Because, the working man of the North
and East sees in louisiana the soil which
will reward his labor an hundred fold, and
realizes that he can easily and speedily
prepare home for his loved ones in this
favored land Of ours.
Because, our walls of indifference hav-
ing been overthrow, the keen business
man whose faculties having been sharp
ened and whose perceptions have been
quickened by contact with the enterpris
ing world, perceives the vast natural re-
sources of Louisiana, as yet undeveloped,
and knows that the day is not far distant
when Louisiana lands will find ready and
eager purchasers.
Because, it is the business of railroad
projectors to direct, and, in some degree,
to anticipate the course of progress, and
they know that the progressive wave has
struck Louisiana and will soon sweep over
the entire State.
Because, the very air that we breathe is
pregnant with new life, and the scales
that have blinded us heretofore, have
fallen from our eyes, and we realize that
we must either ST into line or be left for
ever behind. Louisiana has thrown open
her doors, and she invites the rich and the
poor, the hig,S and the low, to come in
and choose from her abundance.
St. Landry democrat., 1889-03-16
Public Lands.

THEIR WITHDRAWAL FROM CASH ENTRY.
Capt. J. Massie Martin, of the United
States land office here, has been over.un
with inquiries in reference to the Offering
of public lands in Louisiana, after March
4. Formerly lands were offered for cash
entry in this State, but at the last con-
gress resolution was introduced with
drawing the public lands in several of the
States including Louisiana. The resolu-
ton was to go into effect March 4, but it
was provided that in the event that no new
law enacted at that time the old one should
prevail Not having seen the new law
Capt. Martin was at loss what to do
after the 18th, and accordingly, he wrote at
some length to the department explaining
the matter and seeking information. In
reply he received the attached dispatch
"a law having been enacted by con-
gress that no public lands of the United
States except those in the State of Mis-
souri, shall be subject to private land en-,
try, you will permit no sale or location at
private entry in your district.

Seed Rice.

The Jennings Reporter gives the follow
ing good advice to farmers on the selection
of good seed:
We solicit information On the necessity
of the same. 1t being one of the most
paying crops we have, and from which the
greater amount of revenue is derived,
therefore, the most care should be taken
to select good seed and raise first class
rice. It's just as easy to prepare your
ground for good as for poor seed, the work
is the same, the sowing the same, flooding
is the same, cutting is the same, threshing
is the same, hauling to market is the same
When the work is all done and you have a
buyer to sample your crop and he tells you
he can't give you as much as he can your
neighbor across the road, not being ex-
perienced, you will say: "My rice locks
as well as my neighbours. 1t cost me
as much to raise and get it to market"
The secret is in procuring good seed. A
word to all who are contemplating rice
culture and making new fields: Secure
the best seed that can be found, though it
cost five times as much. One dollar paid
out in securing good seed will pay you
better than to have seed given to you that
is doubtful of being genuine. Faulty seed
sown on new land does not only give you
rice inferior to market, but poisons your
land ON which you may SOW the best of
seed and you will not get as good as sown.
1t is as easy to raise first. class as inferior
rice. Our advice to farmers is to get the
poor seed out of their ground as soon as
possible. Let it lay by one year, pasture
it or pillow it under and get it out of the
land, then buy pure seed and secure first
class rice, get first class price for it, and we
know you will feel better when you have
your rice ON the market and the buyer says
that it is first. class rice and will give you
highest market price.
