OIL IN LOUISIANA.

Il believe there is more oil il
Louisiana than Texas or any other
place" " said J. l.. Lee, .Jr., gen.
eral agent of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, last afternoon.
The Southern Pacific has let
the contract for sinking three
wellS-one at St. Martlnsville,
which is an entirely new field
another at Welsh, and the third at
Anse- la Butte, near Breaux Bridge
| started on this work last July,
and have in that time contracted
| for about 5000 acres of land along
| the line of the Southern Pacific.
We have twofold object in the
development of the Louisiana oil
fields, and are not, | wish to state,
doing it for speculative purposes,
as some people seem to think.
Our main object is to develop
sufficient oil for fuel on our road
and steamers, which will require
about three and one-half million
barrels If we strike stratum of
oil we are going to develop it, be-
cause it will add to our fuel sup
ply and prove the ground.
"The officers Of the road
have authorized the sinking of
about ten wells. | have let the
contract for three and the work of
boring for oil will begin on two Of
them between now and Saturday.
The st. Martinville and Welsh
propositions will be the first scenes
of activity. and we will begin work
at Breaux Bridge about Saturday
week. The derricks are up at all
three places and the machinery
installed at two of them. | am
convinced that we will find oil at
St. Martinsville, and if we do it
will be big thing for that parish.
There are now six derricks up at
Welsh, and l expect extensive de-
velopments there in a short time

MAKING HOMES ATTRACTIVE.

One Of the distressing features
of many towns of the South is the
neglect in them of ready means OF
adornment of the exterior of houses
and of the beautifying of home
lots. The neglect is not neces.
sarily the result Of inmate care.
lessness, as anyone knows who
may have been acquainted with the
rose gardens, the lockwood hedges,
the well-arranged lawns and the
careful landscape culture about the
old-time great houses of the planta-
ton or with certain streets Of Rich
mond, New Orleans and other cities
before the days Of tenements. But
the time for neglect has passed wit h
the growth of a conviction that the
best advertisement Of community
is the appearance of cleanliness and
Of care for small details of pictu-
resqueness about dwellings. The
purpose to beautify grounds has
also been strengthened by the APP
pearance of books giving practical
suggestions in that direction.
One of the most practical of
these, ga Plea for Hardy Plants,
with Suggestions for Effective Ar
rangement," by j. Wilkinson Ell
liott, has just appeared from the
presses of Doubleday, Page & Co
Of New York. The author, who is
landscape architect, has written
not to teach landscape gardening,
but to emphasize the need of it and
to argue in behalf of its practicable
lity by contrasting the expenditures
upon suburban and country houses
with those devoted to the surround
ings of those houses. He urges
especially that in planting gardens
or in arranging other natural decor
ative effects hardy plants be used
rather than bedding plants. The
logic of such a plea rests upon the
fact that the best decoration of the
kind is that which may be had
right at hand, and if anyone has
doubts about that it is only neces-
sary to disabuse his mind for him
to follow the trolley routes or the
well-made roads within ten or fif-
teen miles of Boston How similar
results may be enjoyed is clearly
shown by Mr.. Elliott, who adds to
his general plea list of available
plants, bulbs, climbers and shrubs
and detailed plans for flower gar
dens and for the planting of
grounds, ranging from the small
city plot to grounds Of twenty
acres. The work is profusely illus
trated with artistic half-tone en-
cravings Of the style which have
given distinction to the "nature
books" published by Doubleday,
Page & Co.-Southern Farmer.

Flopping seems to be virtue in
Louisiana with the press as we'll as
individuals. The newspapers Of
State clamored few years ago for
the enactment of an election law
embodying the features Of the Aus
tralian system, and now some Of
them are just as insistent upon its
repeal, advancing the puerile plea
that tho average citizen is unable
to vote intelligently in compliance
with its "exacting" provisions. In
the opinion Of the Wave the voter
who has not sense enough to stamp
the party emblem or the circle op-
posite the name Of his candidate
should remain at home without the
right to vote. The present election
law cannot possibly puzzle the in
telligent voters, and that 10 the
class to whom the franchise should
be limited.-Mdndemlle Wave.

THE MORALE OF IMMIGRATION,

Mr.. Charles K. Fuqua, special
immigration agent for the board of
agriculture and immigration of
Louisiana, is collecting statistics
showing the effects of immigration
upon the prosperity and the morale
of community In an interview
at New Orleans he mentioned the
results of his study in Tangipahoa
parish.
He finds that the strawberry,
truck-growing and daily interests
of that parish have assumed pro.
portions which, when the figures
are published, will be astonishing
to many of the good people of this
State. He also finds that under
the influence of this immigration
prosperity, that ten years ago,
where the schools ran for three
months, they now run the full nine
months. 1t was not until 1897,
after fifty-three years of incorpora-
ton, that Amite City, the largest
town in the parish, even had a
schoolhouse.
These immigrants who have set
tied in Tangipahoa have model
farms, and each one of these farms
is, to certain extent, an expert
ment station on small scale. it
was an immigrant from the State
Of Tennessee who, this season, de-
the practicability of
in our hill lands. On
one acre of land, fertilized and
he marketed over 5000
worth of cabbage. The result of
this experiment is that all through
the parish of Tangipahoa the farm
ers are making preparations to irri
gate on large scale next season.
The natives of the parish vying
with the immigrant in experiments
has discovered that the English
walnut grows and thrives in that
section like a native tree. Southern
