M Philip WsfIen president Of the New Orleans Progress

South expresses abiding faith In the future greatness OF
the Port Of PascagouIa and freely predicts wonderful
future for this city In letter to the secretary OF the Pas
csgoua Commercial Club recently, Mr. WerIeln says:
u am personally very anxious to visit Pascagous as
have heard so much Of your splendid habor have done
little fishing on the outside but have never gone ln
"Pascagoua appears to me to have great future The
thought might have already come to you that just there
only can be few doors to house, so there only be
few ports Of entry for country and the here In
the United States with enormously growing Interior every
sembance Of port Is going to show great development and
great centers"

ness and science of the highest order.
Land is becoming scarce or rather
the population is increasing to such
an extent that there are more people
to occupy the land, resulting in each
land holder having less average. This
being the case, and since present-day
living demands more than in days
gone by. it remains for those who hold
and cultivate land to make more out
of it than did the farmers of gen.
kration ago. Each farm unit must be
come the scene of greater activity and
greater production Not only must two
bushels of corn grow where only one
bushel grew before, but the farmer
must keep enough live stock of the
highest order to profitably consume
not only the two bushels Of corn. but
the entire corn, plants, ears, blades,
stalks, and all, returning profit in
animal growth and production and an
equivalent profit in manure as by
product for increasing and maintain
ing the fertility OF the land he Guilt
Yates. Unless some unknown future
means OF fertilizer supply is discov-
cred or developed it will become an
absolute necessity for every farmer to
practice diversified farming in order
to secure needed supplies for fertiliz-
ers.
On the average farm we hold that
diversified farming is by far the best
method of securing the greatest per-
manent returns from the land. The
growing of the plant crops and the
breeding and keeping of live stock of
some kind, or several kinds, are means
of producing highly marketable goods
and at the same time OF manufactur-

lion and making more efficient use of
commercial fertilizers that may be

ucts now command very high prices.
and all indications point to the fact
that they will be at very good prices
from now on indefinitely. The diversi-
fed farmer is able to make living
with the failure of crop, or even
with the failure of several crops, if
he does not raise enough grain to feed
his animals he can buy grain to feed
them and at least not lose money on
them; If the animal crop fails he can
sell his grain. There is seldom an

Pleasure anu sacriace.

An alert little 5-year-old was visit
ing city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats
as they passed through in the morn
ing, and her mother had promised
they should come back after the shop
ping was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as lie tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all and. as her mother urged
her, broke forth in tears.
This sudden fesr was so different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
