We have always been Of the
opinion that North Louisiana
could raise her own meat, bread
and molasses, and thus keep at
home the immense amount of
money which she yearly expends
for these necessities. Since the
birth Of TIE PROGREss We have
used our utmost endeavors TO in
duce the farmer to give this sub
ject his earnest attention. "a we
earnestly believed that he would
be we'll repaid for the time con
sumed in putting to practical
test our claim that there was
money in raising corn and hogs in
our portion of the State. Being
considerably interested in this,
we never allow an opportunity to
pass whereby some information on
this line can be obtained. Con-
siderable light has been given us
from various persons, but the
most elfulgent rays were cast
abroad On Wednesday last, when,
in conversation with a practical
farmer who thinks as he works, he
assured MS that corn could bc
raised at a cost not exceeding 10
cents per bushel, and hogs at the
low price of cent per pound.
As we have stated, this informa
ton comes from no idle dreamer.
no theoretical enthusiast. but from
one who knows whereof he speaks;
one whose opinion is valuable, SO
much so that on his statement to
us we make this declaration, that
the agricultural class of North
Louisiana voluntarily court hard
times if they do not in future turn
their attention to the raising Of
their own provisions, such as the |
kind mentioned. With the ability |
to raise corn at a cost Of 10 cents |
per bushel, and pork for cent
per pound, and the bidding mar
ket of Shreveport for the former
and Fort Worth for the latter, the
farmer could become absolutely
independent in few years: and
he country world become stron
ger financially thereby.
We would like for our country
friends to give the matter their
earnest attention as it will Ger
ainly open field of wealth for
hem. 1t would be a low estimate
o put the selling price of corn
1t rs cents per bushel and hogs at
3 cents per pound, which gives
80 per cent profit on the former
md 400 per cent on the latter.
cotton raising certainly does not
Jay that well. There is no theo-
izing In these estimates, the cost
nd selling price can be made real
Is to the expense there is no
hadow Of doubt, while the price
obtained for the corn and hogs ,
will in all probably exceed the fig ,
res given.
Prosperity is yours to possess ;
