LOUlSIANA'S ACREAGE
in CORN LARGE
THIS YEAR.
Bulletin from Department Of
Agriculture Shows State to
Have Made Largest In
crease Of Any In
the Union.

Louisiana has shown an increase OF
112 per cent in the acreage Of corn
for 1910 over 1909.
Only sixteen states in the United
States outrank Louisiana for corn
acreage.
Only two states in the entire
United States show q better average
condition Of the crop, and only one
other equals the conditions shown by
Louisiana on July |, 1910.
Louisiana had on July /, 2,493,-
600 acres in corn.
Such, summarized, is the excellent
and official statement made BY the
United States Department of Agri-
culture under date Of July 3,
The July Crop Reporter, which
is also published by the Agricultural
Department, will give more detailed
information.
The bulletin shows that Louisiana
has 2,493,000 acres in corn, an in-
crease of liz per cent over last year;
that the condition July ! was SO as
against 81 last year, and as against
a ten-year average condition of 81.
The average increase in acreage for
the twenty-four states covered is but
14.9, only one state, Mississippi,
showing a greater increase in acre
age, Mississippi showing lis per cent.
The bulletin touches briefly upon
the rice situation, as follows:
"The acreage Of rice is estimated
at 1900 acres or 1900 acres (O.4
per cent? less than last year. The
condition of the rice crop on July /
was 1868, as compared with 9O.1 on
July /, 1909, 91.9 on July /, l90e
and 1874 the ten-year average on
July IT,
It is safe TO assume that not one
out of each thousand people in Lou.
~isiana had any idea that this STATE
would show such q large acreage il
corn, even though it was well know
that thousands of acres were put init
corn after the boil weevil e~ffectually
killed any chances Of a paying cottor
crop. 1t was expected that because
of the boil weevil and the great in
terest evoked by the school authori
ties through the corn club movement
that there would be an increase, bui
no one had any idea the increase
would be more than as much a the
entire acreage last year.

60 South, Young Man!

During the last five years 1854
citizens, carrying with them money
and property valued at $3l2,0O0,000,
have moved into Canada from the
U IT q States. Taking this emf
grafton as a text, Representative
Ransdell, of Louisiana, in a speech in
the House, argued that this move
ment ought to be turned Southwark,
showing that the South is able to
offer farm lands as productive and
%rewarding as anything across the
border and affording likewise an
abundance of city employment for
those young people who are anxious
to leave the country. The ~scorehing
drouth which has done so much harm
to crops in the Canadian Northwest
carries its lessons, also. The vast
possibilities of the South, which, af-
ter a long-delayed awakening. now
moves forward with amazing rapidity,
the country as a whole is just begin
ming to realize. Nature has endowed
her richly in ores and soil, and, CO.
incident with a better dayelonmant
Of these natural resources, manufac-
turing on a large scale has had its
birth, Sc that to-day the South offers
to the ambitious young man better
opportunities, covering a wider range,
than can be found in any other part
Of the country.
We can supply farms says Rep
resentatiye Ransdell, TO a y
foreigners, and are anxious to re-
ceive all good immigrants Of the
Teutonic and Scandinavian races"
But the South cannot expect to
choose the best only of the immi-
grant class. When once the tide is
turned in that direction, all classes
who can hope to meet success under
the economic conditions prevailing
there will respond to the call. We
are inclined to believe it will be dis
covered that i little competition with
foreign labor will act as a wholesome
stimnlant to the negro laboring class
of the South. But the South is not
interested mainly in securing a share
Of European immigration; what il
especially desires is TO get our own
citizens throughout the North and
West TO appreciate the great oppor-
tonities Of the South for any person
of industry and ambition.-Leslie's

His Many Personal Sorrows.

Mark Twain's life was not rose
bed, He walked no primrose path. He
encountered stumbling places and had
steep hills of difficulty to climb. And
he had sorrows that bit and griefs that
DludgeOned. At the close of his life.
so far as relatives were concerned, he
was almost alone in the world.
His best loved daughter, Susy, died
IN America when he was in Europe
His story of her death in his autobiog-
raphy is piece of pathos seldom sur
passed. His wife, who was Miss Olivia
Langdon of Elmira, n Y, his compan-
ION for many years, died in Italy after
VAIN WanderingS for the restoration of
her health. He built big country
home near Redding, Conn, and settled
down to continue growing old as grace
fully as he could with his two remain
ing daughters, Clara and Jean. In No
vember of 1909 Clara married a for
eigner and went abroad to live. Jean
was left with him. On the day before
Christmas, with Christmas tree for
her father trimmed by her own hands
i'll one of the rooms, Jean Clemens was
found dead in her bathtub, having
been seized with an epileptic fit and
drowned.
When Mark Twain was fifty years
old and worth about 100000 a pub

ner became bankrupt. He lost his for
tune and was involved heavily in debt
He set to work, made a lecturing and
writing tour around the world and in
ten years had paid off his indebtedness
and again was ahead of the wolf. BY
that time he had become so universally
famous that his work commanded it's
own price. Thereafter he could write
or rest as he chose, and he chose to
write much.
Mark Twain's writing life began in
his pilot days and continued up to his
, death-half Il century of devotion to
the art of making people happy. For
several years he was simply a hard
working newspaper reporter and Spe-
cial correspondent, searching for gold
in Nevada and California between jobs
at journalism which grubstaked him
for prospecting. But he found his
purest and most paying streak of ore
when in 1861 he wrote ''The Jumping
Frog of Calaveras County" That
story, picked up in a mining camp. was
his first promising literary prospect.
