of this newe. appreciation of the ar

traced directly TO the attitude of men

constantly been on the lookout for
the material that would add both to
the interest and the worth of their

work Of spreading among vaudeville

Cane Cutting Machine.

The State Experiment Station,
at Audubon Park, was the scene,
last Thursday of a successful
trial of the 1910 Luce cane har-
vester. The machine was drawn
by four mules, the mechanism
being driven by a 6 II. P. gaso-
line motor. The revolving disc
cutters severed the stalks a little
below the ground. and the car
rier chains seize these stalks the
moment they have been cut, pass
them rapidly through wire brush
es and whippers. which strip the
canes of all leaves, and deliver
the well-topped and clean stalks
in a fit condition for the mill.
The attendance of planters was
limited, but much interest was
manifested. The machine is the
outcome of eight years of pains
taking determination on the part
of Mr.. Geo. ID. Luce, who was
one of the first to attack the pro-
blem.

Louisiana.

Do the people of Louisiana ap-
preciate the true conditions of
their State, understand fully her
needs !? When we consider her
natural resources, and the ad-
vantages she possesses from her
climate, soil and location, it is
simply impossible to speak of her
in terms of praise too strong.
ALI that nature has done for
Louisiana, will amount to moth
ing, unless we do our part by her.
The wealth stored up in her in
exhaustible soil, though it be as
great as that once hidden in the
quartz rock of California, will
remain forever buried, unless
brought to light by intelligent
and persistent labor. And SO of
her many other resources, which
are not directly dependent upon
the fertility of her soil.
There is more scope for energy
and enterprise in Louisiana than
in any other state in the Union !;
there are more opportunities for
the judicieus investment of capi-
tai, there is more room for the
honest, industrious immigrant.
Let us show to all who would
come that Louisiana is abundant
ly able to maintain them, and a
new and brighter era will have
dawned for her. With the selec-
ton of New Orleans as the site
of the proposed Panama Expo
sition, we can expect a flow of
desirable settlers in our State.
The public mind in other States
is being informed and this is cal
culated to be of great value to
Louisiana and all classes, the
commercial as well as the agri-
cultural.
