OlVERSlFICATlON,
19O4is opening most suspicious

19O4is opening most ausplclously,
and our farmers are getting very
busy. The p!ows are going from
sunrise to shutdown, and the ground
for the next crop is being well pre-
pared. Much fall blowing has been
done which the freezes Of this win
ter and especially of this week,
have placed in splendid condition.
We take the liberty of advising
our people to diversity their crops
this season The one crop system is
fraught with danger and disappoint-
ment, hit with ample diversified
crops lies safety and satisfaction.
plant somr Of your land in cotton,
corn, cane, and if water can be
obtained reasonably, some rice,
thus YOU will have four strings to
vour bow, some of which is sure
to do we'll, then with the adjuncts
of peas, potatoes, melons, irish
potatoes, poultry aud some hogs.
you are bound to be IN good condi-
ton at the end Of the year regard
lesss Of the character of the season.
There is the mater of cultivation,
do not strive for extensive cultiva-
ton, but rather for intensive work.
Make one acre by first-class work,
fertilization and cultivation give
the results Of two acres by the old
lick and promise way Of doing
things, in other words make one
half Of your land produce as much
as the whole did by the old style
of farming. Thus you have one
half of your land for pasturing
stock or for hay crop which is
immensely profitable, often giving
two tons of good bay which baled
and stored away will bring $1,000
per ton when you most need the
money and often when you have
nothing else to sell. Discard the
idea Of doing great things und alb
sorb the idea that many small
things in the aggregate make sum
that is very pleasant to contemplate.
By all means diversity.

CAPTAIN O. B. STEELE,

The leading candidate for State Treas
urer in the present campaign is Captain
o. B. Steele Of East Baton Rouge.
While Captain Steele was born in Ken
lucky, he left that state, when mere lad
to join the Confederate army and landed
in North Louisiana after that memorable
struggle, an ex-confederate boy soldier,
under twenty years of age. His long con-
pection with official life, and especially
with the financial operations and policies
of the State, gives him great prominence
as a candidate for its chief fiscal office.
He was member Of the celebrate ed
Nichols legislature OF 1877, from Union
Parish, and Was reelected in 1878. From
1880 to 1884 he was Senator from that
district In 1884 he was elected State
Auditor and served with such ability,
that in 1888, after being unanimously
nominated by the Democratic party. he
was reelected to that position. He was
elected Presidential Elector from the 5th
Congressional district Of Louisiana in
1892, and, as such, voted for Grover Cleve-
land for President
When Mr.. Pickett was elected State
Treasurer in 1892, Captain Steele was in
vited by him to take charge OF the Office,
and was his chief assistant for the entire
four years Of his term.
Captain Steeps ineumbency of the Audi.
tors Office covered much Of that forma-
tive period in the States financial life,
after the reorganization Of the State debt

Levee system was being perfected and
financed. The three and ons.half million
of bonds, issued as the basis of the present
levee system, were arranged for and

He was largely interested
in and one of the controlling factors in the
Of The Bank of Baton
Rouge, which has attained National fame
as State banking institution. He has
been Wee President, since it was founded
in 1889.
Captain Steele has been Unidentified with
various movements connected with the
growth and prosperity Of the City of Baton
Rouge and State of Louisiana. He is a
safe, conservative and experienced man,

circles in New Orleans and throughout
The State. His record 10 absolutely clean

LOUISIANA HAS TAKEN Tnr LEAD

"It is fact that the Texas rice
lands are now selling at less
price than those Of Louisiana, F."
said j. f. Wellington, the we'll
known business man of Jennings,
now at the st. Charles Hotel
"Bnt that fact shows that the Lou.
isiaua rice lands are favorite over
those in Texas. However, the
cheaper lands of Texas will not
long continue to be cheaper and
then the monetary advantage
Texas has, if any, in being able to
sell lands to immigrants from the
mere fact that they are cheaper,
will have disappeared. There is
ouly "a limited amount Of rice lands
anywhere along the gulf coast and
these are being put into cultivation
now very rapidly. One year more
will-see the rice lands of Texas,
which have been a little more
backward than those of Louisiana
in developing, developed as fully
as those of this state. While rice
lands in Louisiana now in state
for cultivation, that is with water
available, are selling scarcely ever
for less than $40 per acre, over in
Texas rice lands ready for plant
ing can be had for as low as $40
per acre, and from that price up to
$25.
Louisiana took the lead in the
rice developing business and Texas
took the cue from this state and
went ahead along the same line.
we have been raising rice in Louis
iana now for more than ten years,
while the bust uess over the Texas
line is scarcely more than three
years old. Just now there seems
to be more people settling in the
rice district of Texas than IN the
rice district of Louisiana, but it is
for the only reason that | have
mentioned, the prices Of land are
lower across the Texas line. But
| prophesy that this condition will
not last long, at least 20 longer
than the price of the Texas lands
reach the level Of prices of the
Louisiana lands.
II know that there has been an
effort on the pnrt Of oar Texas
friends across he border to hold
out the fact of their present large
immigration into the rice district
was due to The fact that theirs is
the favorite state. But the truth.
and the whole truth, is thar Texas
is behind Louisiana in her rice
aud her rice lands are
cheaper. This shows that Louis
lana is taking the lead and is still
holding the lead in the rice bust
ness over Texas, and shows moth
