those Ra)kan states and previously to that, Philip of Macedon and
Alexander the Great created the Macedonian Empire, the greatest
known, until it was surpassed by the Roman Empire. The lndo-
race that gave Us the Saxon in Western Europe, the
Teuton in Central and the Slav in Eastern Europe have produced
men of one common type and that type an excellent one. II we
had hundreds of thousands of these men in the Cult States and
esueciallv in Louisiana, we could assimilate them very readily and
with very great benefit to the agricultural interest OF our state
The history of the development of civilization in Southwestern En-
rope during the last two thousand years will compare very favor
ably with the development of civilization in Central and Western
Europe and it is an unfair and inaccurate judgment that condemns
Immigration from that section of Europe into the United States.
There may be picked up in the seaport towns OF the Mediterranean
all the way from Cadiz in the far West, to Constantnople in the
far East, a scattering and mixed population of little intrinsic value
ANYWHERE. These people, however, are not the people that we are
irving to get into Louisiana, or into the United States anywhere
else. We may have our dreams about getting tens Of thousands OF
people to come here from the Northwestern states Of the Federal
Union, but it will be only a dream when we find that the people
there are doing as we'll, or better, than they can here, until
they become thoroughly familiar with the agriculture OF this coan-
try and, as indicated hereinbef0re certain phases OF the agr1cu-
ture in this country in which hundreds Of millions OF dollars are
invested, must 90 into decay, and decay with undue rapidity, un-
less we can bring immigrants into this country to take the place
of the negroes, who are leaving the country and going to the great
citiesa and who are unwilling to longer perform the duties Of farm
~laborers.
The panic of 1907 gave quite a backset to our Louisiana immi-
grafton movements, but our Louisiana State Board Of Agriculture
and immigration is still making earnest efforts to lay before all
the world the advantages of our state, and til fair to believe that
in due time we shall have a large access to our present agricultural
population. Without it, our state cannot progress in any way
proportionate to it's natural advantages and it becomes the duty OF
our legislature and of our public men to do all they can to aid in
bringing before the people of Europe who are disposed to migrate
to this from their own country, the advantages that Louisiana
offers to them.

Late Planting of Corn.

March is the month par excellence for corn planting in Loulsl'
ana. Planting during the last week in February will 90 better
than March planting, provided the weather is generally favorable,
but such early planting is frequently cut to the ground and killed,
or sometimes wet rotted in the ground. The month of April is
fairly good for corn planting and the month of May, now on US, is
rather two late. The reasons for the excellence of early planted
tall are better adopted to successful production of corn early in the
season than if left to wait until the hot weather. Corn will come
up in March if promptly planted and it seems to have the best sea-
son of the year before it for the promotion of an adequate growth.
Later planted corn seems to yield a less quantity of grain, with a
larger development of stalk.
It is very customary to plant cow peas in the corn fields when
the corn is laid by, as the peas not only promote the growth OF
the corn, but also enrich the soil for any subsequent crop, whether
that be of sugar cane, garden truck, or for a corn crop itself the
following year. From a sugar planters point of view, March plant
ing is very desirable, because the corn will be ripe enough to
gather in August and early fall blowing can be- availed Of, a very
essential matter in this, and, in fact, in almost any other
climate. r @t
Mexican June corn, so called, has given some very <exceent
results in Southern Louisiana, and if the seed be had from a re-
liable dealer good results can be had in planting such corn up into
June. We have never heard its availability for May planting
spoken of, but would presume that it would be equally available
for that purpose. and might be better than ordinary corn for such
planting.
The high prices that are prevailing for corn and all other
every planter in Southern Louisiana to plant every available acre
in corn. 1t will easily repay the work done in blowing, planting
and harvesting and if peas be planted in the corn field the land
will be placed in fine condition for any subsequent crop. A word
to the wise is sufficient.

How to Plant Sweet Potatoes.

We must confess that we don't know and at the same time
that there is very much about agriculture and horticulture
that we don't know, and that the rest Of the world doesn't know
thus far. We were quite struck by a friend Of ours some days ago
in regard to sweet potato culture. They are frequently planted in
continuous rows and yet some parties hill the potatoes up in indi-
vidual hills. We remember in our early boyhood that Irish pota-
toes were frequently cultivated in individual hills, whereas now,
with horse culture, the cultivation of Irish potatoes is in continu-
GUS rows. Our friend, who is to the manner born, said that sweet
potatoes planted in rows yielding say 40 barrels to the acre, would
with precisely the same conditions Of weather and soil, yield 70
barrels if the rows were reduced to individual hill, the distance
apart of the paintings being about the same. We inquired at once
how this enormous increase in the yield, an increase of about Is
per cent, could be accounted for. The gentleman could not &C.
count for il, but simply stated that it was a fact and presumed
that the reason that potatoes were cultivated to so great an extent
in rows was on account of the use of animal labor, instead of hui
man labor, which latter is required to a greater extent where the
killing up is done, although by cross blowing much Of the hill work
can be done by animal labor. E."..
If we admit that the rays Of light and heat have power pecu-
liar to themselves, as demonstrated in the Rontgen rays, by means
of which we can see the bones of our own hands, and the various
other mysterious rays that modern scientific research is now en-
deavoring to utilize, we can see that a hill of potatoes, accessible
to the rays of light and heat all the way around, might very
readily bring an increased or diminished crop, based upon the size
and shape of the earth covering the growing crop. Wherever one
finds potatoes now hiled up, one will probably find that some old
fashioned and successful gardener has his hand in the work.
The younger generation will utilize horse or mule power and the
modern ~cultvatos and perhaps get only 40 barrels per acre,
against the others 20. Can any Of our hortculturists explain these
phenomena from their own experience in such culture?

Mr.. P. Eskald with a large force OF
men and a quantity of material, arrived
in Burrwood this past week and every
thing is in readiness to start work on
the cottages. We look forward to
prompt action on the part of Mr.. Es-
kald and his employees and feel that in
a short while marked progress will be
noticed in the residential section of
Burrwood.
We learn that Mr.. L. F. Alexander
has severed his connection with the U.
S. government and has formed a par
tnership with Mr.. Eskald, in his Burr
wood contract. Mr.. Alexander has
served the government under Capt. j..
B.. Lindhe, for a number of years and
his past record speaks for his assured
success in the contracting line. He
has our best wishes.
There IS one man at Burrwaod who
is positively indispensable and he is DIR.
Frank d. Harding. Everybody knows
DR.. Harding and everybody likes him,
because he is always ready to render
any assistance possible, whether it is
the extraction of a tooth or other odd
chores. He is assistant to the weather
man, and also this week reported ice in
Burrwood.
Mr.. ]. D. Coleman, Of New Orleans,
reported to Capt. Lindhe last week, to
replace Mr.. E. T. Price, chief Of the
government commissary at this point.

man, does not like noteriety Of any
kind, especially of the newspaper kind.
We are constrained to predict good re-
suits from Mr.. Coleman, in his present
capacity.
Mr.. C. B. Clark, of the Bowers South
ern Dredging Company, was among
his many friends in Burrword this week,
