narrow that the seams have to be left
open for three or -four inches at the

1t is apparent that there will be
some broom corn grown in this part
Of the State. Quite a number Of
acres have been planted in the vici-
nifty Of Duboin and near St. Martin
vile. Mr.. r. G. Mitchell has rs acres
under cultivation. At the present
time broom corn is selling at a very
high price. In fact lots are now be-
ing taken up at anywhere from $40
to $500 per ton according to quality.
It is possible to grow as much as half
. ton to the acre and perhaps more
and as it grows on any land suitable
for corn it ought to do well for the
growers in this section. The only
difficulty will be in the curing. 1t
has to be cut at just the right time
and If the weather is propitious the
crop will pay we'll, but if the weather
il against the cutting at the right
time the product will bring less in
the open market. Probably if the
growers this year are successful next
year there will be . great deal of
land put into this erop.-New iberia

WHERE We WILL BE
BENEFITED BY The
PANAMA WORLD
EXPOSITION
The Holding of the Exposition
in New Orleans VIII Create
Big Demand for Farm
Products.

New Orleans, May 10.-Feeding
an exposition Of the magnitude Of
the proposed Worlds Panama cele-
bration to be held in New Orleans in
1915 is q mighty big undertaking,
and should give profitable employ
ment to every food and meat pro-
Queer in reach of the Exposition City.
27,500,000 people visited the Colum-
bian exposition at Chicago in 1894;
100000, the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at st. Louis in 1904; 50,-
100000 the Paris Exposition in 1900.
Should the daily average of visitors
to New Orleans for six months dur
ing the Worlds Panama Exposition
be no greater than 10000, or no
more than came to New Orleans for
a single convention last April, the
daily sum spent by the hotels and
restaurants for meats and vegetables
with which to feed this number of
people would amount to more than
$4,000, Or S2,730,0o0 during the
six months. This calculation does
lot take into consideration the con-
slant residence in New Orleans for
the period Of several thousand ex-
hibitors and extra walters and help
ers Of all kinds in the hotels, nor of
the increased buying power Of the
city at large.
The farmers of Louisiana will
profit directly and most largely from
this demand since the food stufs they
raise will be within easiest reach Of
New Orleans.
The Worlds Panama Exposition
Company expects this celebration to
attract greater and more general
worldwide interest than any exposi
ton ever held. The record attend
ance as any exposition was 50,8o0,-
900 at Paris in 1900.
The food consumption calculation
made above is based upon the at
tendance Of only 100000 visitors
coming from other parts of the coun-
try and world, all of whom at home
consume food stuffs not grown BY
Louisiana farmers.
The total number of visitors should
exceed 100000 by several times,
as there I more than 90.000,00o
people to draw from within 1901
miles Of New Orleans alone.
The Louisiana farmers share Of
the investment cost Of the Worlds
Panama Exposition will be only 37H
cents tax on $1,000 assessed value.
and only half that amount if his farm
be assessed at $500. His share Of
the So, 100000 and more to be spent
for rev food will depend entirely
upon how much he has to sell.
