MARSH LANDS FOR FARMING


/ The value of marsh lands fol
/ farming purposes is again atteSted
by the organization Of ID big syndi
cate to reclaim such property, and
the taking over of an immense
tract in Terrebonne for purposes
| of reclamation. Southwest Louis
lana has great areas of this terri.
tory, which should prove, under
capitals magic influence, veritable
mines of wealth for those who are
financially able to develop them.
An example of such splendid re-
turns is found in the j. B. Wat
kins work Of development in Cal
casieu parish.
The programme of the syndicate
which has now been formed with a
capital of $1,000,O00 to- develop
marsh lands is outlined by the
| New Orleans Picayune, which has,
among other items these of in
terest:
The lands acquired by this syn
dicase are said to be among the
most fertile in the world. They
have been formed by ages Of allu-
vial deposit and decomposed vege-
table matter, and, accordinglto en-
gineer's reports, are underlaid at
depth of from two to six sect with
a substratum of blue clay, which
is very important feature where
irrigation is to be practiced. They
are said to be exempt from over
flow, and are not subject to the in
vasion of salt water. When re-
claimed and provided with irriga-
tion plants, which it is claimed can
be accomplished at cost of Sc TO
SO per acre, they will not only be-
come very superior rice lands, but
will also be adapted for sugar cane,
corn, alfalfa, truck farming, fruit
culture, sugar beets and for cattle
raising.
The Company's programme will
be to reclaim and develop the prop
erty in sections of 10000 acres at
q time, and when ready for the
plow, to sell them in small or large
tracts to Northern and Western
farmers at the enhanced prices
that will be justified by their inn
proved condition. 1t is expected
that the first section of 10000
acres can be made ready. for the
farmer during the year 1905, and
that this section alone will bring
the neat sum of $600,000
Later on, the Company will un-
dertake the cultivation Of con-
siderable portion of the land for
its own account, thus reaping a
share of the farmers profit also
An important source OF revenue
to the Company will be the tolls
charged for irrigation, which, IN
der the system now in vogue, will
be one-fifth of each farmers crop.
Besides this, a town of Importance
is expected to develop on this
property. 1t is the intention TO
set aside a considerable sum of
money for the development of the
town site.
Then will come the construction
and operation of rice mills, and,
perhaps, also of paper mill for
| the conversion of the rice straw
into paper Lake Charles Press.

shrieked and fled from the leyelled
revolvers of two hold-up men. Miss
N. E. Summer, the cashier, resisted
the efforts of third thief to open the

Only when she had been struck
several times and revolver pressed
against her head did the cashier give
up. The delay caused by her struggle
frightened the men, and they fled
after seizing only the money in her
register, amounting to about 800.
Over 5000 in bills had been placed on
the desk nearby, but had been swept
to the floor by Miss Summer, where
it was found after the robbery.
Miss Summer notified the police of

the major, "of there not being any
more land in North Dakota and the

Naturally the number that will come
