brace each other, and of a people
great in intellect, energy, endurance
and kindness. It's people! They
were chosen by the most rigid pro-
cesses of natural selection from all
the conquering races that have made
America great. There, in that golden
Northwest, in a climate which with
out the h%arshness of the North or the
| enervating softness of the South, en-
courages human effort and assists in
! accomplishment, these people are
building an empire. They have har-
messed the streams for power; they
have poured them owe the plains,
which they have converted into fruit
full fields and gardens; they are wrest-
ing from the earth it's mineral wealth:
they are converting its forests into
forms Of utility and beauty and at iEe
same time preserving them from de-
struction; they are building schools
and colleges and are living like
princes of the earth. The Bible vision
of every man dwelling under his "
vine and fig tree is realized there.
where every man may have a snow
capped mountain peak in his back
yard, and where his every bodily need
and intellectual want may be graft
fed. The natural wealth of that II
t;y is great and great are its achieve
ments in every line of human effort
but greater and better than all are its
reopIe themselves-a chosen ace,
growing not only III numbers, but in
all the accomplishments and "raCes
which make a people mutually useful
and happy.

To Encourage Road Building.
New Orleans States.)

1t is given out from the State cap
ital that plans are in process of con
lection to encourage the building o
roads in the State. According to this
report, Governor Saunders: Presiden
Heard of the board of control of the
State ~Penitentiary, and the chief Of
the State board of engineers, have
been at work for some time upon
plan to utilize the State %convicts in
assisting the parishes in the work OF
road construction.
Substantially, the plan being con
sidered contemplates the organization
of the parishes of the State into
groups, each of which group to agree
upon some stretch of road to be built
and to supply the necessary materials
and cost of building. The State, such
conditions being agreed to, is to cause
the State engineers to furnish the de-
sired estimate and other necessary in
formation, and to furnish a certain
number of convicts to do the work
under competent supervision. There
are times during the year when the
crops on the State farms are laid by
and the convicts could be profitably
employed in such work, and that
spare time being put into the work of
opcfr,nfir rnn6o ,ror nrr,a n I, ont
plans, would work a great change in
existing conditions.
With all the details that would re-
quire careful working out before an
experiment of such Importance can Q
attempted, we are not familiar. The
officials who suggested the plan and
who have given time and thought to
its consideration may doubtless be
trusted to attend to that phase of the
matter, which looks plausible enough
to n who merely observes from the
outside. That there are practical diff
ficulties that will have to be met and
overcome there can be no doubt, for
nothing important has ever been
achieved without first having to over
come difficulties, some of which often
insurmountable at first blush.
However, there can be no doubt of
the fact that, as the population of the
State increases and the settled com
munities become more c~ongested, the
tax upon the old-fashioned mud road
becomes too great to endure, and more
substantial roads must be provided to
enable the producer to transport his
crops to the market towns. By virtue
of that fact, the road question is be-
coming one of supreme Importance in
the State, and the people are coming
to realize the fact that their inexcusa-
BILE neglect is costing the farmers of
the State the loss of millions of dol
lars annually.

The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Heavy rains occurred throughout
the greater portion of the sugar dis.
trict during the past week, putting a
stop to all field op%rations, and at this
writing the soil has hardly dried suf
hciently to permit their resumption.
Reports OF defective seed cane are
heard. but apparently this does not
exist to a sufficient extent to cause
any particular concern. Planting is
well under way, and if we have two
weeks of good dry weather it will
progress far toward completion. The
crop of 1909 may so far be said ia
have opened auspiciously.

FARMING CONDITIONS CHANGED.


The coming of the boil weevil
has brought upon US a sudden
change in agricultur raj methods,
which nevertheless was inevita-
BILE in the course of time, for
Lafayette parish has too rich a
soil and too favorable a climate
for the growth of a large variety
of plants. for it's people to al
ways be satisfied with the COM
paratively by small returns from
the practically exclusive culture
of cotton.
Had it been possible for the
change to have been brought
about gradually, it would have
carried no hardship with it, but
on the contrary the material
prosperity of the parish would
have grown with the progress
of the Investigation. But
since the change has been forced
upon US. without notice as it
were. it simply remains for
each farmer to at once take stock.
now at the beginning of the year,
of his resources in the way of
land and means, and plan for
another farming campaign.
And in doing so, the superb.
bundance of rain last year EN-
phasizes that one of the cOndi-
tons to be provided for a sue
cessful harvest is drainage.
What ever crops may be attempt
ed will need to have proper
drainage, and this should have
first attention and be secured
to as large and efficient a degree
as possible.
The next consideration should
be to raise such stock and vege-
tables as will not alone supply
his own table, but furnish a
surplus that is Immediately
saleable. In this should be in
Guided hogs, chickens and eggs,
and the corn and other feed
stuffs that will be needed for
his own use. Together with
this particular attention should
be given to the garden.
The experience of a m Der
of farmers who have farmed
along this line has been very
gratifying; for the financial
results have been much more
satisfactory than when they
practiced the one crop plan.
This parish is blessed with
as fine a soil and favorable
a climate as one could wish,
and certainly with the proper
methods. there is no reason why
the yield from the farms should
not be much greater than in the
past. The change from old
methods has been forced upon
us; it is now simply a matter
with the farmers of accepting
the change, and in starting
afresh, as it we're, start along
lines that provide first for their
own support and then raise
those things for a surplus crop
that will return the largest yield
for the effort expended.

Washington, June S.-Following the
lively clashes OF yesterday on the cot
| ton schedule of the tariff bill, in
which Senators Aldrich, Beverage,
] Dolliver and Cunmins played star
parts, further spirited debate was eX-
pected when the senate convened to-
| day to take up the wooden schedules.
Senator Beveridge having said that
he had been inclined to support the
recommendations of the finance COM
mittee, the admission led the chair
man of the committee to say that he
had not shown such inclination by his,
vote. Coming back. the Indiana sena-
tor asserted has !. ght to follow his
| conscience rather than the leadership
of any ..-iiVidual.

I, mercerizatiOn was lost by the unusu-
ally close vote of 80 to 80, but an
amendl-ent reducing the house rate
on stOc kings 20 cents on a dozen pairs
was adopted.
Aldrich Challenges Republicans.
1t WAS after the vote on the Dolliver
amendment that Senator Aldrich
found occasion to again challenge the
attitude of some of the Republican
senators who are contending for lower
duties. He charged them with play
ing the part of brigadier for the Dem
Ocrats and leaking of Senator Bever-
idge, declared that he had associated
with the Democrats so long that he
was adopting their ideas. He charac-
terized Senator Beveridge as the lead
er of the opposition
Both Senators Beveridge and Cum
Minis replied, the former asserting
that he was simply standing on the
Republican platform.
Smith Hops on MacVeaoh.
Senator Smith of Michigan found
occasion to attack the position o
Secretary MacVeagh as the mouth
piece of the administration on the tar
II situation. He intimated that he
did not consider the second member
Of the presidents cabinet a reliable.
leader on the subject, because of his
former Democratic proclivities.
During a defense of his position as
tariff revisiOnist, Senator Cum
Minis said he had so often been
classed with Democrats that such a.
charge had no terror for him. An
intelligent electorate, he said, knew
lOw to discriminate in such matters
