mule can cultivate about sixteen
acres. The rate charged for rental
is usually four to eight dollars per
acre, or a prOportionate division of
the crop. The land here is taxed to
maintain the levee, as the govern
ment has large forces at work con.
tinually. All places of business are
Likewise taxed and stores and hotels
pay state tax of ten dollars per
year for doing business. Pecan groves
are being cultivated here, and while
1t takes eight years from time of
planting, the profit is five hundred
dollars per acre.
The entire country is fat. In fact
one might describe it as being an i'm
mense swamp, with patches of dirt
raised Il few feet out of it and drained.
All of the delta lands show evidence
of seni-tropical growth, for the
palmetto springs up spontaneously
every where, growing several feet high
and resembling our potted palms.
The entire land has tract after tract
of dead trees. The method of clear
ing is to burn them and all along,
they may be seen on fire by day and
night slowly burning away.
The negroes are the real producers
here, as the white people think it a
disgrace to work the land. Some
counties of Arkansas and Mississippi
have population of fifteen thousand
negroes and fifteen hundred whites.
Much of this land bought for one
dollar per acre few years ago, is
now worth from fifty to one hundred
dollars, and land values are rapidly
advancing.

POINTS ABOUT POTATOES.

In cooking this valuable vegetable
to obtain the best advantages let ii
be remembered always that mealy
potatoes are most easily digested,
that old potatoes are more beneficial
than new ones and that close waxy
potatoes are unwholesome.
Wilted, shriveled potatoes must
always be put to soak well in cold
water for some hours, as must also
potatoes which have become frozen
slightly.
Raw potatoes when pared should
be dropped at once into clear, cold
water until put on to cook, or they
will become badly discolored.
For boiling or baking potatoes of
uniform size should be selected that
all may be cooked equally.
Always wash or scrub we'll with
small brush, potatoes which are to
be cooked in their skins.
To boil potatoes properly, put
down In boiling water and let boil
moderately until soft enough to
pierce through with fork. Drain
off all the water Immediately and
thoroughly, or the potatoes will be-
come soggy, losing their mealy quail
tty. Sprinkle with salt.
Shake the vessel-up and down well
and separating each po-
tato, and in the process exposing
each to the air for a few seconds.
Cover over with a napkin or clean
towel and set on the range shelf to
keep hot for five minutes before
serving.

CIVILIZATION AND INSANITY.
This and Cigarettes Responsible for
Increased Number.


Increased Number.
Civilization, cigarettes, and drink
are the three great causes of insan-
ity in England, says DR.. Forbes Win
! slow, in the New York American.
The proportion of insane because
of love affairs is small-0.5 per cent.
in men and II in women. We are
getting better in this respect. At the
present moment there is not so much
sentiment as there used to be. /
do not really think, except in the
case of the silly attachments of boys
and girls, that there is much real
love nowadays.
Matrimonial matters are regarded
more nationally. Blind, unreasoning
devotion is thing almost of the
past
"a good deal of Madness" con-
tinued DR. Winslow, 'is governed by
the laws of hereditary; and, al
though person predisposed to mad
ness may successfully undergo enor-
nous mental strain, the collapse
must come-not because of the
strain, but on account of the predis-
position"
And what, in your experience,
are the prime causes of insanity at
this day."
Alcohol must be given first place.
No one could be found mad enough
to deny that it is brain poison; and
the insanity due, directly or Indirect
ly to drink is appalling. Then there
is the use of tobacco-in the shape
of cigarettes particularly; l do not
say pipe smoking is harmful unless
carried to excess. But the use of CT
garettes-especially on an empty
stomach-is a very potent factor in
the making of a lunatic"
DR.. Winslow contended also that
his experience and the statistics of
lunacy throughout the world prove
conclusively that the more civilized
the area the more insanity there is
produced.
There is" he said, practically
no lunacy among Asiatics or the ma
tives of Africa or other extensive ter
ritories, but sparsely populated.
Wherever the arts and sciences are
studied to the highest perfection lun-
acy must abound"

Letter From New Orleans
To The News Dc Citizen:

TO The News & Citizen:
Since | last wrote you | have coy.
cred all the southern states east Of
the Mississippi river, Indian Terri
tory, Oklahoma and Texas, and am
enjoying mid-winter in this semi trop
ical city of yellow fever fame. This
city is seventeen feet lower than the
Mississippi river, which is dyked
twenty seven feet high. 1t is sur
rounded by an immense swamp, and
anywhere here foot under the earth
Ia a bog of water. This city of over
100000 inhabitants is far behind
Morrisville as to sanitation, and it is
not a wonder that yellow fever rages
here, the only sewerage being open
bitches at side of streets leaving stag
nant pools all over. Water for drink
ing and all uses is caught in cisterns
from the house roofs. The attractive
feature is the mild winter climate and
vegetation, which is nearly like the
tropics. Among thepalms which are
seen everywhere here are--Mexican,
Chinese, Australian, cocoanut and
many varieties of fig bearing palms.
japanese bamboo grows readily, as
also yams, pomegranites, plantains,
wild olive, castor-oil plant, fig trees,
oranges, peaches and bananas. On
the plantations (which are from 1000
to 5000 acres) sugar cane, rice, and
cotton are the staple crops. The live
oak is the predominating tree here,
and often has limbs stretching from
thirty to forty feet and the lower
ones are only three or four feet from
the ground. For many miles north
of New Orleans, the railroad runs
through a densely wooded swamp,
where numbering is the only industry.
One can get no conception of the
life these negroes must lead here.
Their habitations are all built on
spiles from six to ten feet above this
swamp of stagnant water, bullying
muck, where there are alligators,
snakes and reptiles of every kind.
The newly discovered or rather
newly developed Delta lands of the
Mississippi valley, are among the
the worlds most fertile regions. The
waters of the Mississippiriver settling
back over this area of about four
hundred miles, from Memphis, Tenn,
to the Gulf of Mexico, lett the richest

ment has built levee to prevent the
