Working to Defeat the
Panama Canal.

Washington. June 10, says:
The Administration is considerably
worried over the outlook for the 18TH
milan Canal. Matters at Bogota look
bad for the ratification Of the treaty by
the COLOMBIAN Congress. That city is
pa liked with lobbyists, who formerly
operated In Washington in the hope Of
defeating and Isthmian Canal scheme.
They are reported to be having better
success at Bogota than they had at
Washington. Secretary Hay has con-
sidered the Rdylsability Of resuming me-
gotiatiens with Nicaragua and Costa
klca, looking to the construction Of q
canal there.
It Is reported here that he has been
informed that II the Panama project is
abandoned by this Government it will
be taken up and completed by Germany
and Great Britain, or, at least, by capi-
talists Of those countries. It is stated
that already there are agents Of German
and English capitalists at Bogota f1gnf-
ing on getting . franchise from the Co
lun.bian Government TO complete the
canal. It IS further alleged that the
German Minister at Bogota has sent
out circulars advising the QQlQlnbiAns
not to ratify with the United States. de-
clartng that better terms can be secured
from Germany. The question has also
come up OF the possibility OF dealing

TRUCK FARMING.

All farmers IN st. Tammany Par
ish could do as well as Mr.. Tiebout,
Of Roseland, Tangipahoa Parish,
and would do so ii we had the same
facilities OF rapid transit to the
markets OF the North and East.
Read what he recently stated to q
gathering or Real Estate Agents OF
the North, at the rooms of the Pro-
gressiye Union, in New Orleans:
Cllas. A. Tle5out. OF Roseland, 3
prominent grower in Tangipahoa
Parish. La, addressed the conven-
ton, on THE Possibilities OF Truck
Farming Mr.. riebout first called
attention 10 healthfulness of his
parish. Not able to attend to clerl-
cal duties in Kalamazoo, Mich,
where he held q good lucrative po-
sition, he came South In search Of
health. He had not spent five hours
with physician since he had been
in Louisiana, now nine years. 81
have little farm OF only twenty
four acres, but / would not ex-
change it for the thousands of acres
that Col. Schiller owns in North
Louisiana," said Mr. Tiebout. II
believe iE diversified farming and
plant several kinds Ut crops. l have
raised corn as second crop off Of
cabbage land that made ninety
bushels per acre - He took from
his valise a monster head OF cab
baee, and said: Last year sold
5000 worth Of these off Of one and
one-lift acres. This year l have
sold 81, 800 worth off OF two and
three foufths acres, and will have
at least lao more crates to sell.
Cheers.
Nh. 'riebout then took a cluster
OF full grown tomatoes, len in num-
Der, from the same valise, and said
his tomato land would make him
$3.50 per acre. More cheers. Some
one asked Mr.. Tiebout how much
the head Of cabbage would weigh
and he said 81 pounds. He ex-
plaiBed that he used plenty Of fer
tilizer and could raise 5000 heads
per acre.
II put on 5000 pounds OF fertill-
ger per acre last year. and next
year [ will put 1000 pounds. I lie
said. i will get an excellent crop
Of corn off this land when the cab
bage is all off. Eariiness is the
mainsthing with US. Our early cab
Ibage reaches the Chicago market
just at the end of May wllen the
old crop is exhausted, and thus we
sweep the high prices everv time.
