The news comes from Louisiana
that large areas of that State hersho-
fore devoted to the growing of cotton
will be planted to cane, because the
boil weevil has wrought such havoc
on the former crop. If this pest shall
be the occasion of diversity of farm
crops in theSouth his presence in the
cotton field will not prove an unmixe
evil. But Louisiana should think of
other crops than sugar, cottonand rice
The Southern representatives in both.
Houses of Congress should insist on
the reclamation of swamp lands and
security of the levees of the Mississ
ippi river and it's lower tributaries.
There is as much law for it as there
is fort the irrigation of arid lands out
West. With her swamps drained and
no danger of overflow from the great
river, Louisiana could be made no
produce cheaper pork than Kansas
and more eggs and poultry than Mis-
souri,; but as long as the swamps are
thereand full OF water nine months of
the year Louisiana will remain sug
ar cotton and rice State. Some
wonderful stories come frsl.ll the prai-
RE region of Mississippi and Ala
bama, where alfalfa was recently in
troduced, and in certain localities it
reyolutionized agricultural methods. |
has restored the original fertility Of
the soil, SO fruitful fifty years ago,
and supplied she populations with
meats that had come from Illinois for
more than four-score years. Nor has
it supplanted cotton; on the contrary,
it has more than doubled the yield
per acre of that staple. Further
more, it is just beginning the eStab-
lishment of dairy industry that
promi es more than the fairness OF
Egypt. There will be no Southern
problem when the planters of that
section diversity their crops, practice
intelligent rotation and adopt in
tensive farming ashingtOn Post.

Careful of their Homes.

A Farmers Institute passed resolution, a week or so ago. in which they say:
 We deplore the fact that at least a ' number of the newspapers of this county boldly advertise intoxicating lIouors, such as beer and whiskey. Knowing. as we do, the results of in- dulgence in such intoxicants. we therefore strongly condemn such ad vertising. and do hereby implore all such papers that they cease using their pages for this purpose, which we are confident is fostering intemper- ance.
 It Is in order for good people all over the country to take similar act .or. Let them get together, county ss.y county. as people are doing in vot- ipg the safsrns. out Of existence. Let them insist that the papers that come into their homes must not come in as the soliciting agents of whisky men. Many men who are publishing these paper would be glad to have such act 7 Ion taken. They are ashamed of themselves. They know their course Is morally indefensible. But they al- low the vhiskey crowd to purchase space because terrorized by them. When the saloon is made to realize that Is whipped ont of the papers and magazines 1t will become conscious. as not before. of its moral degradation and outlawry.

For number of years the Kelly farm and tract of land lyirg just to the east of New York Avenue north of the Rock Island has been owned by a foreign corporation and consequently this beautiful tract has shown but little sign of life and activity of the other parts of Brink!ey that have been bounding along on the improvement lires.
 However several months ago the Kelly tract containing 525 acres was purchased by Mr. Hanford F. Donnelly. of Chicago, who recent, moved to Brinkley and orened an elegant office in the Creenlee Gum block. Mir. Donnclly has had but little to say ss to his policy bus ii his actions speak fer ar ything he will soon be showing in this pretty 525 acre tract the most attractive addition 10 the city oi Brinkley we have ever had. | By pumping him hard. an ARGUS man learns that he Is opening up 80 acres Of the tract (2o acres of which are in the incorporate hmits) into pretty city lots and property. The streetssand avenues are being laid off, park ways are in the plat and every- thing shows symetry and prospective beauty.
 The remaining part of the land is plated into and 10 acre trucb farms and all are conveniently situated. Mir Donnelly proposes to sell of llhese town lots and truck farm plats lon easy time payments.
