These data certainly indicate
to those identified with agucul-
ture in Louisiana, directly or IN
directly, that Louisiana's poss-
Utilities exceed the hopes Of the
most sanguine men among us. In
order to perfect the results in any
work it is essential for US to
learn something of what can be
done and of the difficulties that
we may encounter and Of the adj
vantages that We may hope tor
if our efforts are successful. Corn
is of greater value in Louisiana
than it is in these other states
that report such enormous crops.
They have been selling their corn
to us. Now the tables are begin
ming to turn and while we thus
far are not even yet producing
enough corn for home consump-
ton, is is very manifest that we
can readily produce all that we
need and can double, triple, or
quadruple our present production
and number ourselves among the
great corn exporting states OF
the union.
Diversifcation in agriculture
naturally leads to an insurance
against some Of the climatic Diff
ficulties that 50 frequently inter-
fere with one or the other Of the
great staple crops that our coun-
try produces. A ready d%iversifi-
cation would be to produce our
selves all the corn that we now
need and to go beyond this and
to produce sufficient corn to JUS
tify US in developing an animal
industry in this state that Will
rapidly add to its wealth, just as
the present development in the
corn industry, if not rapidly ad-
ding to our wealth, improves our
savings and thus indirectly in
creaseS our wealth. As a grass
growing and corn producing
country 50 far as natural adVant-
ages are concerned, we believe
that Louisiana is without a peer
in the federal union and these
developments suggest the pro-
duction of hogs and cattle and
the resulting profits that come
with these industries to the other
states of the union.

BILLY DELANY, JEFF's OLD FRIEND,
To TRAIN JACK JOHNSON FOR FIGHT

Chicago, Ill, April 22-There has
been a turn in the affairs OF the big
fight which experts figure will count.
Jack Johnson has announced almost
certain arrangements with Billy De-
laney as his chief trainer when the
black fighter establishes himself in a
coast camp. Jeffries always has at
tributed his success to three things:
His own natural strength, the advice of
Delaney, who as well piloted Corbett
to victory, and the boxing he learned
from Tommy Ryan.
The split between Jeff and Billy is
attributed to Mrs Jeffries, who does not
like the Irishman. She has been taking
a more than passing part in the bust
ness mana cement OF her husband. So
Jeff has as trainer Sam Berger, the star
press agent. Sam doubtless listens
better than Billy would.
