ALEXANDRIA

The parishes Of Louisiana are
capable Of producing as great a
variety of products as most States
Of our Union.
The people of the iIr Northwest,
as well as Of other sections are
not as well acquainted with actual
conditions and results as we can
demonstrate to them, and it is to
us, the people who from this We
ritable garden wiring earth s most
precious offerings, to put them in
closer touch with the capability
OF our soil. 1t must be conceded
that the average man is ever will
ling to better his condition, to i'm
prove his lot, and attain the high

prosperity. 1t is to the sturdy
emigrant, the thrifty man that
seeks to accomplish this, that Lou
lslana throws wide her portals
and offers her best. To him who
in the love of endeavor seeks to
find a new home and willingly

State s Farm Lands Congress
holds its session in Alexandria.
The sugar planter is asked to
make his offering, TO show that
the building stalk of sugar cane
yields to the touch of man one
OF his necessities. We want TO
demonstrate to those who come
that the West is not alone in It's
vast output of corn, but here in
the fair South their giant ears Of
corn can be duplicated. Let the
cotton planter prove to these peo
pie that the South has not yet sur
rended her claim to being the fore
most producer of fabric material.
The truck grower must lend his
help and exhibit his varieties upon
which our Northern brother has
lived and over which he has won

over his field. The green vegeta-
ton of every variety from the
smallest table ornament to the
most valued necessity of life is |
needed. Let us prove our soil and |
climate and assume our proper po-

Let the rice grower bring his

Uncle Sam iS form,,latinp

Uncle Sam is formulating a
measure to protect the consumer
of apples from the dishonest or
chardists, who in the past have
been in the habit of facing" the
tops and bottoms of the barrels Or
boxes containing the fruit, with
fancy stock and filling in the re-
mainder with "culls." The idea
is, too. to establish uniform
standard as to the size of a box
or barrel which may be used in
shipping apples from one state to
another 50 that the buyer may
know just what he is get ing, in
the way of quantity, when he pur-
chases a barrel or box of fruit.
The committee on Agriculture
has recently given growers, pack
ers, shippers and commission men
ample opportunity toexpress their
views on the pending bill, intro
duced by Mr.. Lafean of Pennsyl-
vania and these hearings have de-
veloped the fact that all interest
ed in apple growing in the East
ern, Middle and Southern sec
tions Of the country are satisfied
with the proposition to establish
Standard grades and Standard
packages. Only from the North
westhas any protest arisen. The
applegrowers Of the Pacific and
adjoining states send to market
apples which are as rule much
larger in size than those grown
farther east. They pack their
product in boxes which, while
uniform in size, do not necessar-
lily contain a bushel. The bill
provides thatbarrels must contain
three bushels and that boxes hold
a third of a barrel.
The bill when reported will in
all probability, fix a standard Of |
Q. s. grades. Apples two and a
half inches in diameter NAV be |

two and a quarter inches gu. s. |
Grade B" and those Vnly tive |

largest oyster county in the State, the
largest clam producer south of Long

THE VOYAGE.

I'm sailing on, Pm sailing on,
For better or for worse,
The whirling world is my good ship,
The seas the universe,
The track behind is yesterday,

Fierce tempests lie along the way,
But golden is the shorel
I'm sailing on. I'm sailing on.
From infancy to age,
And tolls the cargo that 1 bring
To win by heritage,
The waves of trouble buffet me,
The seas of sorrow roll,
Yet no disheartenment shall be
To keep me from the goal.
I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on,

Fair skies and cloudy alternate
In days of joy and pain
Where lies the port toward which sal
l know not, near or far,
Yet of its winning I'll not fail,

HONOR TO The SENATOR

Following up our recent editorial on
what Governor Swanson had done for
our public schools mot to mention his
''good roads" record), we extract the
following from the Virginia Journal of
Education:
SENATOR CLAUDE A. SWANSON.
Governor Mann has made no wiser
appointment or one more generally ap-
proved than that of designating Claude
A. Swanson to fill out the unexpired
term of the late John w. Daniel in the
United States Senate. The readers of
The Virginia Journal of Education, we
feel sure, are specially pleased with
this appointment. for no public man in
Virginia has exhibited more interest in
or worked harder for the up-building
of the public school system. The re-
vival of the old Journal of Education
was in great measure due to the efforts
of Senator Swanson. He assures US
that in the future he will continue to
have the same interest in and will con.
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1910-12-16

tinue to work for the improvement of
the public schools in this State. Sena-
tor Swanson'is a man who is not given
to making promises and failing to keep
them. His ideas with reference to the
best means of establishing and main
tanning high standard in the public
schools are clearly set forth in his own
words which we quote as follows:
In all cases division superintendents
should be selected for their devotion to,
and efficiency in, educational work.
Trustees shonld invariably be men of
practical business sense, OF reputation
and influence, broad minded and patri-
otic, earnest in the uplifting of their
fellow man and in the progress of their
State They should have no partisan
or selfish purposes to subserve in the
discharge of their duties. These re-
sponsible positions should never be
given to solicitous persons who seek
them in order to provide places for
their daughters and relations regardless
of qualifications. They should never be
given TO persons who desire the ap-
pointment in order to locate a school
for their own selfish accommodation.
Those entrusted with the selection of
division superintendent and trustees
can render an inestimable service to
the cause of education if they will ap-
point only the best and most worthy
men to these important offices. want
the time to come in Virginia when to
be division superintendent or school
trustee will be esteemed high decora-
tion of honor and be positive proof that
the person is devoting his best energies
to the educational progress and pros
perity of the State.
We feel sure that Senator Swanson's
career in the United States Senate will
be no less brilliant and successful than
was his conduct of the Office of Gov
ernor of Virginia.

GOOD TIDINGS.
From Everywhere Comes News Of
Oyster Prosperity. Hards Times
Of Years al an End.

Since Virginia has taken such a squirt
IN the past month or so along oyster
lines we see that pretty much the whole
Atlantic coast is rallying from the
slump of four years duration, that was
largely caused by the pollution" scare.
Here are reports from other quarters:
Chincotague Corr. Enterprise: Mon
day was opening day" with our oyster
shippers, and they sent-to-market on
that day 1900 packages of oysters,
shell and shucked, clans, &c. Our
oysters are at the top of the market in
quality this season and top prices are
expected for them.
The best oyster season that Crisfield,
Md, has known in years is now on.
The supply of stock is greater than in
many years and of exceptionally fine
quality. Big catches are reported daily
in Pocomoke and Tangier sounds. High
prices are asked for stock and the oys-
termen are making money. Every
available boat is now in use. From the
packers standpoint this season is q
record breaker. Ten new packers have
opened houses this year. and all of the
old ones are doing business.
IL. C. Rowe & Co. report from their
principal office at New Haven the larg-
est demand for oysters that they have
ever experienced. They have had en-
ployed more openers than ever before,
and have run both of their plants to
their full capacity, yet the demand has
been so much greater than ever before
that they were unable to meet their
orders last week by large amount.
They intend to construct a third ship
ping plant in order to meet their steadily
increasing trade.
Says the Fishing Gazette, N. Y: "It
is encouraging to be able to tell the
trade that the oyster business is flour
ishing, as it never did in the past and
despite the occasional knocks" of
public paid officials. 1t shows one thing
conclusively; that is that the public is
getting tired of the so-called reformers
who never see anything good except in
their own work. Public confidence in
the oyster has sbeen fully restored.
Boston dealers have had all they could
do up to Thanksgiving. Their only
trouble was in getting sufficient stock
TO fill orders. Providence dealers saw
they have never had such a good season
and conditions which at first looked like
hardship to the trade, have since
turned out TO be a blessing. The New
York oyster market has never been more
active than during the last three weeks.
Philadelphia has had to hustle to meet
the demands of oyster eaters, while
Crisfield and other Maryland shipping
points have had calls for oysters, the
like of which made shippers open their
eyes. From Massachusetts, to Virgins
the oyster industry is thriving. There
may be lull for a week or ten days
still it will be only temporary. There
is every indication that the Christmas
and New Years trade will be yer,
heavy.
