NUMBER 100


There are all kinds of Printing The
Printing which is fair and the Printing
which is good.
1t is just as easy to have Good Print
ing, as the kind which is only fair. It
all depends on the printer and the print
ing and the stock used in the printing.
We have the printers and the press
men, the best in their line, and we have
the stock and do only Good Printing.
Besides Good Printing, the Price IS
an all important consideration. We are
not operating cheap printery, but will
do Good Printing. at prices that will
meet any reasonable demand.
Do not forget there is difference be-
Printing and Printing.
The Printing we do is always good
because we know how to do it. Prompt
and satisfactory attention given to all
orders for Good Printing, telephone old
and new 1000.
We are always appreciative of the re-
cognition of all those who want Good
Printing.

THE CORN CROP
The Louisiana Yield Estimated at Forty
Million Bushels.

New Orleans States Local grain
dealers are estimating the corn crop OF
Louisiana this year will be 100000
bushels.
The crop last year was reported by
the State Department of Agriculture at
somewhat less than 100000 bushels.
With this big increase in the cultlva-
ton of corn in the State, local dealers
are already beginning to talk about the
necessity of establishing elevators IN
New Orleans. Such facilities for the
handling of the crop will be necessary
if the crop is cultivated on the scale
that now seems likely to result. Deal
ers are 1oath to take any hasty steps,
however, for fear that the boil weevll
may cease to "weevil" and thus restore
cotton to its former position of king.
Therei considerable talk among the
grain dealers, however, as to how the
crop is to be handled, and it is possible
that a convention of the corn growers
will be held here this fall. Such
proposition is now being discussed, with
view to bring the matter formally be-
fore the Board of Trade. If the con;
vention is held a date for it will likely
be fixed in October. The formation oi
an association of the corn grower:
would be a probable result

THE COTTON CROP
It May Not Reach Thirteen Million
Bales-Indications that General Trade
Will Be Prosperous.

New Orleans Picayune: The report
of the statistical bureau of the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington is
sued on Monday placed the average con-
dition of the cotton crop at 7I.o, as
compared with condition Of 74.6 the
preceding month, 50 last year at the cor
responding date, and Io-year average
of 8o6. This is the lowest condition
average ever issued in August by the
government, and if such reports of con-
dition represented in percentages were
to be considered infallible there would
be reason to feel great alarm as to the
outcome of the present cotton crop.
The government crop condition per-
centages are only of value, however, by
comparison with other crops. A perfect
crop, which would be entirely represent
ed by 100, has apparently never been at
tanned, and it is even more vague what
/ a perfect crop would mean in pounds or
bales. Certainly what would be consid-
cred perfect Or maximum crop ten
years ago would not be so considered
now. But after all possible allowances
for the vagueness of the governments

Monday really indicates comparative

membered that the present crop is be-
ing grown on smaller acreage thar

lgust in an unpromising condition
must perforce be admitted. Favorable
lconditions from now on may cause
