The following from the Louisiana
Sugar Planter, In view of the high
price Of feed in the rice region. ap-
pears to be especially timely:
Among the planters OF Louisiana
the corn crop has never yet received
that attention that it deserved. Ii
we look over our list Of acquaut aim
ces we shall find that the oldtashlon-
ed successful planters have generally
been those who made considerable
corn crops. The advantage of a
corn crop Is SO great IN getting the
land in good condition tor fall plant
ing, or even for winter or spring
planting, that many plas tiers are
disposed TO laise corn whether 1t is
considered a profitable crop or NOT.
1t is, of course, desirable to have
the corn crop planted sufficiently
early IN the year TO have it matured
in time for the harvest before the
days of fall plowlng is now general,
ly lnaugurated during the latter halt
of August, 1t i. very essential that
the corn on such lands as are intend,
ed for ia | blowing should be planted
IN March any way, and some plant.
ers advocate the last week in Febru
ary, or the first half of March, as
being the best time for that purpose.
In the corn harvest itself there
seems to be diversity OF action that
is interesting AMI almost amusing.
As we traverse IN August or Septem
Der any section of the cane country
where corn has been planted We
shall fad that some planters have
cut off the tops Of the corn, leaving
the ears stan ding erect; We fine
others have broken the ccrn stall
| just below the ears; so that the ear
hang down, while still others dt
nothing of the kind, but simply
harvest the corn crop when they arr
ready for it.
We have often made inquiries a
10 why corn should be broken, ant
especially as TO why 1t should b
topped, and so far as we now recall
have never received any well-de6ne'
answer.

There is much talk now about
so amending the immigration laws
as to exclude anarchists, and it is
to be hoped that tins will be done
The law should be strict on this
point and the immigrant should
be compelled to assert his be
lief, not only in some form of
government but his belief in our
form of government. And, while
he is swearing, it would not hurt
him to declare that he accepts the
Declaration Of Independence as
his political creed.

same style of serious literary works
that the president is famous for.
The frame work of the message
has already been read to the Cabl-
net at Its meeting yesterday. The
commercial needs of the country
are to be the chief feature of the
message. The draft contains a
generous quotation from the re-
clprocity address Of Pre>i lent W m.
Mckinley, delivered at Buffalo
the day before be wa. shot.
Of course the navy will come Id
for a strong notice. The President
has personal knowledge of its needs
besides has the benefit of the advice
of his brother-,n-law, Commander
Cowles. The president believes
there should be no let up in the
work of bringing the navy 10 a
numeral strength SO great, that
there will be no question but thai
the American republic Is one OF
the great naval powers. That part
of the message relative to The

A good house witnessed "Pris-

Theatre, Sunday night and enjoyed
the play very much, as 1T was one
of the best seen here for a long
while. No one in the play can lay
claim to greatness, but the com
pany is extremely we'll balanced
and the scenic environments were
altogether sumptuous
The play. which is beautiful
and strangely original and fancifu
romance, was wrought to finish
in fascinating manner.
1t is a great pity that having
seen The Prisoner of Zenda, the
public will not have an opportuni-
ty of seeing it's sequal, Rupert

The Prisoner of Zenda is built
of three figures. The greatest and
strongest is that of Rassendyll, a

and which part was played by Mr.
Harry Leighton. Mr.. Miller as
Sept was also very good, Miss
Rowland as the Princess and Miss

Physics at the State University. has just

bis own invention BY means Of which 4
large number Of telegraph messages can
be sent over one wire and an earth re-
turn At the same time. In the physical
laboratory at the university he has bad

instrument can be placed and used

DE. Duane's scheme is founded on the
principle Of synchronising motors. The
scheme will probably be Of great utility
In aiding telegraphic communication by
reducing the time consumed for sending
messages and making it possible for any
number Of messages to be sent over one

exceedingly useful in driving the revolv.
