No Standard Color for
Cane Syrup.

Alexander Mouton, who repre-
sentea Louisiana in the Interstate
Sugar Cane Growers Convention
Al Mobile, returned last Tuesday,
and reports most agreeable and
profitable trip. On motion of Mr.
Mouton and after q spirited debate
pro and con, the the Convention
adopted the following resolution:
Be it
esolved, That q standard of
color for pure cane syrup Is not ad-
visible; that pure cane syrups made
from cane juice only, without the
use of chemicals, are necessarily of
different colore, owing to diverse
conditions of clarlficatlon and the
process of manipulation.
In support Of his measure, Mr..
Moulon spoke forcefully against
the practice Of employing sulphur
in the manufacture OF table syrup
as 40 agent to produce clearness in
he liquid, ba.lng hls statements

Baton Rouge, Feb. l6.-Ben Il.
Mayer, of Baton Rouge, Hammond
and Eastern Railroad, returned to
the city this afternoon from New
Orleans, where he attended q meet
ing Of the officials of that road to
consider and decide upon the ques-
ton of entrance into Baton Rouge
and the location of the depot. Mr..
Mayer stated that the final line into
the city was located, and that the
site for the depot in Baton Rouge
was determined upon, but that the
directors would not make known
the location of the depot until after
the CITY Council had been asked
to grant the road the right of way
over certain streets.
The Council will meet Tuesday
night, when an ordinance giving
the right of wav to the road will
be introduced. At the meeting 1t
was also decided to run the line
north OF the city over the Dough-
erty place to connect with the
Colorado Southern and the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley, at the point
where the Valley Road has Its
land for approaches to the river
and extra switchyards.

STARTLING. BUT TRUE.

People tie world over were horrified
on learning Gf the burning Of . Chica-
go theatre, in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number, or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year. with scarcely q
passing notice. Every one Of these
cases OF pneum onia resulted from cold
and could have been prevented by the
timely use Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it on by the prompt use Of this remedy.
The following Is IN instance Of this

COTTON AREA FOR 1906

Harvie Jordan, President OF the
Southern Cotton Association, has
issued an address to the cotton
growers IN which he says:
Il is generally admitted that the
reduction in cotton acreage for
1905 amounted to an average o1
Is per cent. The demand for full
reduction Of % per cent. from til.
enormous area planted in 1904
would mean that We must further
reduce the area planted in 1906
from that Of 1905 At least 10 per
cent. Farmers who reduced their
screage Is per Gent last year will
not be asked to reduce again, but
they will be expected to hold their
acreage down to that planted last
rear. Those who did not reduce
last year are expected to cut acre
age rs per cent, and the man who
reduced Is per cent. is expected to
cut another 10 per cent In other
words, it is imperative that the
acreage in cotton on everY farm in
the South shall be at le&st 25 per
cent less this year than that planted
in 1904.
That the area planted in cotton
last year was too large there can be
no question or doubt. But for the
bad climatic conditions which pre-
vailed in the Southwestern States,
We would have produced over IL.
OOO, 900 bales, and have suffsfea3p
tremendous depression in prices.
With the area planted in 1905,
amounting to 27.0OO, 600 acres. il
is easily possible, with normal sea
sons, 10 produce crop Of over Is,
100000 bales. which must be sold
ct ruinous prices. Diversification IS
the proper method by which to
avoid such = condition. Plant more
land In food-supply crops and less
10 cotton; live at home ana sell
your staple crops slowly snd At
prices showing profit on the years
