Acadia Hogs.

Thursday evening, Mr.. Emile Dai.
gle, our jovial postmaster, shipped q
car Of hogs, which he bought from
farmers around here, to New Or
leans.
There were ifty-seven head in the
car and they made up a good weight.
Mason Landry, who has been can
wasting for the hogs, went along with
the shipment to New Orleans and
there will sell them.
Mr.. Daigle is to be commended on
starting a market in hogs that will
enable the farmers to raise hogs
plentifulIy and to dispose Of them.
The farmers of this community are
just as good hog raisers IS the farm
ers Of Ohio, Indians Illinois and 9TH
er hog producing states. The only
handicap incurred up to nov by our
farmers was that they could not dis
pose of them. But now that the
way has been shown them to market
their hogs successfully, they will not
hesitate in producing thousands an
nually which will be q very great
thing for everybody, as it will put
the farmers on a firm footing inan-
cially. Here's again to the common
dation of the ingenious enterprisers,
Mr.. Daigle and MFR. Landry, may you
succeed.-Church Point Democrat.

THE APPROACH OF DECI-
SION DAY,


1t remains for the people of
Louisiana to determine at the polls
two weeks hence, whether or not.
there shall be a great international
exposition held in the City Of New
Orleans in 1915. If the people Of
the State refuse to back up New Or
leans in her efforts to qualify for
Congressional recognition as the Ex-
position City there will be an end Of
the matter and the greatest oppor-
tunity that has ever come our way
will pass US by.
1t cannot be impressed too strong
ly upon the public mind that the
voters have it in their power 30 give
New Orleans a winning SEE = in
the fight before Congress, or ~ set
tie the matter finally and definitely
in favor Of San Francisco. Congress
will not award the Exposition to New
Orleans unless the people show at
the polls that they want it. New
Orleaus will vote overwhelmingly for
the tax, but an adverse majority in
the country parishes, even though
that majority should be overcome by
the City vote, will, by indicating dis
sensions on the subject among our
own people, invite Congress to de-
eide unfavorably to the Southern
Metropolis. A small vote in the
country even though it should be ia
vorable, would be dangerous; for
Congress is not likely to force a
great Exposition upon a people who
are unwilling or Indifferent.
The South and middle West are
waiting to see what the people Of
Louisiana propose to do in this mat
ter. Sentiment throughout these
States is practically unanimous in
our favor, and to them the sugges-

TELLS FARM.
Frs TO Hold THEIR
COTTON.
President of Farmers Union
Declares Planters Have Lost
Millions by Rushing Staple
to Market.

Dalton. Ca, Oct. 16.-President
Barrett of the Farmers Union de-
clared that there is no reason to give
away a large amount Of cotton value
by marketing the crop too early. In
an address to the officers and mem-
bers of the union, he said in part:
1T has been for a number Of years
the practice among Southern farm
ers to sacrifice larger or smaller por-
tions of the financial returns for their
cotton to which the real value of the
staple entitled them.
Rushing the staple upon the mar
ket the minute it left the ginnery,
they have been paid in whatever
figure was ruling at that particular
time, without reference to the bona
ide laws of supply and demand. The
custom is and has been a factor for
depressing the market, since it con-
gested the markets and operated to
drive prices downward.
1T would take an expert statis-
ticisn to estimate the loss to the
Southern farmer from this source
since the civil war alone. And when
you speak of the Southern farmer,
you mean also a loss to the Southern
business man and to every channel of
commerce and industry-for what
ever affects the welfare Of the mar
Of the acres affects also the welfare
of every other man, woman aud child
in Dixie.
Farmers of the Southern States
are this year in danger Of repeating
the old blunder. In a great many
localities, the tendency to hold cot
ton for a price commensurate with
its worth is noticeable. But in a
few other localities, che fiber is be-
ing rushed on the buyers, with the
inevitable result that wherever this
occurs the price Says downward, and
the grower is not receiving the
figure that represents the real value
of the staple.
Il look eventually for a system of
bonded warehouses, under control of
our people, to SO cover the cotton
belt that the smallest as we'll as the
largest farmer will be enabled to
hold his cotton without prejudice to
his pressing obligations. We have
found, in several States, that where
the staple is placed in a warehouse
properly secured, there is little diff
ficulty in borrowing upon it all the
emergency money needed.
Where farmers cannot have ac-
cess to one of these warehouses or
where conditions are such that they
find it impracticable to obtain loans
on their product; / advise that they
sell as little of the staple as possible
just enough to pay off the debts
that may be pressing for settlement.
The remainder should be held until
such time as it can be disposed Of at
a figure in harmony with its worth to.

tion that there is opposition any
where in Louisiana TO the insignif-
cent tax proposed is inconceiyabie.
All through the Mississippi Valley
and across to the Atlantic the people
want the Exposition to be held in
New Orleans because, they say, it
will benefit their respective sections.
That it will turn the eyes of the
world to the great valley Of the
Mississippi and stimulate every In
terest, there can be no sort of doubt.
That it will do more for Louisiana
than for any other state is equally
undeniable.
As has been pointed out, the tax
is so insignificant that it is impossi-
bic for it to furnish an honest basis
for opposition to amendments Num-
Der One and Two on the official bal
lot. When a dozen eggs will pay the
tax onya thousand dollar assessment
it is puerile to speak Of it as a bur-
den to even the poorest farmer.
In the preparation of this EXPOSE
tion nations, states, corporations and
individuals outside of Louisiana will
put in five dollars for every one We
spend on it, and the attractions pre-
sented will bring many millions of
people to Louisiana who otherwise
would never come to the State.
These have to be sheltered and fed,
and the farmer is the man who pro-
duces the material with which to
feed them.
Decision day is near at hand. and
it is imperative to emphasize the
fact that a vote against the two ex-
position amendments is tantamount to
a vote in favor Of locating the expo
sition at San Francisco.
