LOUISIANA CENSUS.
Population of Towns.

VIM. Hunt, chief statistician for
population at Washington, has
prepared a census bulletin, giving
in detail the population Of Louisi-
ana. The growth of the State has
been remarkable in some respects.
The total population in 1900 was
1881, 625, an increase in ten years
Of 263, O3s, or 23.5 per cent.
The total land surface Of Louisi.
ana is approximately 1890 square
miles, the average number Of per-
sons to the square mile at the can
81 ses of 1890 and 1900 being as
follows: 1890, e4.6; 1900, 3o.4.
There are lO4 incorporated towns,
villages and cities IN the State
We extract the following census
returns from the report, as being
Of local interest:
Covington, IN 1900, 1905; in
1890. 976. Increase. 229.
Vaudeville, in 1900, 1929; in
1890, 1912. Increase, II.
jacksonville, in 1900, 779: in
1890, SAT. Increase, 232.
Slideil, in 1900, 1929: in 1890,
364. Increase, 765.
1t will be seen BY the above that
St. Tammany parish has three
towns of over 1000 population, and
. fourth that is rapidly approach
ing the 1000 mark.
Slidell shows a very large in
crease, while Vaudeville appears
to have made little or no improve
ment in the last ten years.
In our neighborlng parish o
Washington, the town Of Frank
linton had a population Of ss6 il
1900, against 81 in 1890, an in
crease Of l39.

Three Crops on the Same
Ground.

Mr.. H. ID. Bundy and his son.
y. 5. BundY, know how to farm
and when to plant. They produce
. little more on one acre than some
farmers do on three, il seems. The
father vas in 10 see us Tuesday
and is authority for the following:
Early in the spring they selected
an acre Of ground and planted the
same in Irish potatoes. One hum
dred bushels was the crop that re-
suited from this planting, and
which was sold for seventy-fve
cents per bushel. Before the po-
tatoes were dug watermelons were
planted along the rows, here and
there. Later on when the potatoes
were Ding, the watermelon vines
got . good working. From the
watermelons was realized 452. A
ine crop Of turnips is now to be
seen where the watermelons were,
and at the very least estimate they
can be retaiIed for fe5. Around
thus acre are about twenty peach
trees, from which have been sold
$40 worth of peaches.
From another acre $50 worth Of
sugar cane was sold and the cane
remaining was converted into
syrup-264 gallons. Of this zoe
gallons will be sold. The local
price is 50 cents per gallon.
On one acre forty-6ve bushels q
corn was raised. A quarter Of IN
acre produced eight bushels of up
land rice. This is good for the
table and excellent for stock.
Mr.. Bundy and his son grew
variety Of other crops, but space
forbids us making mention of then
