Railroads are Farming.

Purely business reasons, of course,
are behind the movement on the
part of railroads to educate farmers
into better methods of farming. Ii
the country can be made to produce
more tonnage the. railroads Will
make more money The increase in
tonnage can be had by inducing full
development of the lands through
bringing home-seekers and investors
and through securing more intensive
methods and better application OF
scientific principles on the farms
that are being operated There have
been sent out by the railroads corn
specials, cotton specials, hog specials,
dairy specials and the like, with de-
monstrators and lecturers to spread
the gospel of bigger harvests along
the line. The theory Of seed Sc
lection has been propagated by rail-
roads in connection with other in
terests till farmers generally recog-
nize the value of good seed Soil
and seed are large subjects, and
successful farming is mainly depend
ent on good understanding OF
them. The good results that have
followed the work Of the railroads
in educative effort have led to more
extended enterprise Oh the part OF
transportation companies and to a
broadening of their field OF opera

LOUISIANA SUGAR.
The Trust and the Dangers Which
Beset the Industry.

But for the fact that no tariff
changes can be enacted during this
session, or perhaps the next. our
people might well be profoundly con
cerned at the attitude so generally
taken towards their sugar produc-
tion by people without regard to
party. not only elsewhere through.
out the country. but in the south,
and even in Louisiana, says the New
Orleans Picayune.
Already the beet sugar interest
is discredited by being largely. If not
entirely, owned by the sugar +r1st
and an effort is being made in con.
gress to. connect also with the trust
the cane suga. production of Iouisi.
ana, for. save in a small section Of
Texas, it is made nowhere else. and
for some unknown reason there is
an unconcealed prejudice against it
even in some parts of our own
state.
Congress was engaged on sat,1r-
day in the course of an investiga-
ton of the SUGAR trust ia an effort
~ stSAoN hllttt LliJ Gl SUGAR
in Louisiana is under control Of the
trust, a number of leading sugar
planters and dealers having been
summoned to Washington to testify
IN the case. Representative .Jaco-
way, democrat, Of Arkansas, conduct
ed the examination, and ais the trust,
having one of it's largest refineries
near this city, is the purchaser of
most or all of our cane sugar. it will
be easy for a prejudiced and parti-
san investigation to make out our
sugar interest. to be al creature of
the trust.
AS our local sugar production is
worth some $50, 600, 900 to s335, 900 900
a year, it is of large benefit to the
state, and to lose it through hostile
legislation would be a most serious
matter. Fortunately, there is too
much discord in congress at the
present time to fear any hostile
agreement on tariff matters, and the
prospect Is that thereaWill be no
change during the sixty-second con
gress, but it will be necessary to
look out for what may come after

rinaidity Of Ascension candidates.

The Plaquemine Champion files an
Indictment of backWardness and til
midity against candidates for office
in this parish which should not be
allowed to stand longer than is nee.
essary to refute it. The logical and
effective refutation, of course, con-
sists OF an announcement in The
Chief. Come right along, gentlemen,
and step lively. Here is what the
esteemed Champion says:
The ice has at last been broken
in Ascension and the chances are
that political matters there will soon
begin to move with considerable
celerity. Up to this time things have
been very quiet there, in a political
way, and while it is we'll known that
quite number of prominent gentle
men desire to become candidates,
still they appear to be bit timjd
about it and seem to be waiting for
some one to lead off. This has fin
ally been done by DR.. D. c.. Brum-
field announcing as candidate for
coroner, and JOS. Gonzales, present
incumbent, as a candidate for the
legislature. This, il all probability,
will start the ball a-rolling and in
duce the timid aspirants for favors
at the hands of the people to come
out into the open and make their
wishes known. There are now but
two candidates in that parish for
sheriff the third, Sam H. st. Mar
tin, having dropped out and gone to
New Orleans, where he has en-
gagged in business. The candidates
remaining are E. g. Hanson. present
incumbent, and Louis A. Landry,
former assessor Of the parish, both
capable, worthy and deserving young
men, fully qualified, in every way,
to discharge the duties which will
devolve upon them. The race be-
tween them bids fair to be close and
interesting"

Will Gov. Sanders Resign?

The newspapers which have been
SO loudly and persistently calling for
tho resignation of Judge Hall OF IN
office which he has not vet assumed,
asss strangely and suspiciously silent
with regard to the RESIGNATION Of
Gov r. Y. Sanders, candidate for the
United States senate.
That the governor is using his
mower as chief executive for the
fnrtlerance of his senatorial can,ii-
dacy. and that he IS devoting to
the contest a great deal of time that
BELONGS to the office he now fills,
there can be no sort Of disnrte.
The machine is working with might
and main. at the governors direc-
tion, to land Sanders, governor, in
the United States senate.
Jared Y. Sanders was elected gov
ernor OF Louisiana to perform GER
tain duties. He is paid a salary to
nerform those duties. but he cannot
perform them satisfactorily while he
is galivanting around the state maxi
ing speeches in behalf OF his candi-
dacv for the senatorship.
John T. Michel. secretary of state,
resigned his position when he enter
ed the gubernatorial camDaign realiz-
inc that he had no right to draw a
salary for duties he was not perform-
ing. Gov. Sanders should follow his
example. He should not even per-
nit the fear that Lambramont would
control the New Orleans registrar

DESTROYING The
SUMNER PEST
Seasonabie Advice About Getting Rid
Of Mosquitoes at Small
Cost.

Go over every square yard OF the
territory within two hundred yards of
your house, and wherever you find
hollow in which water accumulates
during rain, pool or marshy spot, a
tub OF ornamental pond, pool, either
fill it up, drain it, or coat it with coal
oil. You will find, in nine cases out OF
ten, that you have practically rid your
self of mosquitoes and gnats.
1t is almost incredible what short
lived and trivial accumulations OF
water will suffice for some of these
pests to breed in. Anything that will
hold water half an inch deep for ten
days is sufficient. Even such an In
Misunderstanding lake-basin as a to-
mato-can, a sardine-tin, an old boot, or
a broken piece of crockery, II 1t hap
pens to be shaded so that the sun can
not readily evaporate the water which
it catches during a rain-storm, will
serve to harbor the noxious "wrig
glers. "-Munsey Magazine.

VAST TEXAS AREA
TO Be RECLAIMED
The State Has 5000, 900 Acres Of Fer
tile Valley Lands Susceptible
to Being Reclaimed.

Houston, Texas, July l.-Texas has
100000 acres of fertile valley land
susceptible to being reclaimed, and
which land now is practically value
less because of it's subject to over
flows, and the news is brought from
Washington by State and Drainage
Commissioner Arthur Stiles that Uncle
Sam is willing to assist and cooperate
with the state authorities in placing
this land in cultivation.
In the work of reclamation that has
been in progress in Texas for the past
two years, the federal government
sent its expert engineers to Texas to
assist in the work, with the result
that there has been reclaimed 100000
acres which were not valued at over
$40 an acre before the levees were
constructed, and of fertile land re-
claimed situated along the Brazos.
Trinity and Little River in Botleson,
Milan, Trinity and other counties.
Captain Stiles believes the work OF
reclamation of Texas lands has just
begun. The work in the past was car
ried on only in limited way, due to
the short appropriation made by the
state of Texas. Governor Colquitt is
in favor of plans that will result in
the reclamation of the 5000, 200 acres
now lying idle in various sections OF
Texas, and 1t is not at all unlikely that
he will make certain recommerid 6<>o1l6
