received at the headquarters Of Sec.
rotary L. N. Brueggerhon. Louisiana

During the past several years. ever
since the first State Fair. a great deal
Of attention has been given the horse

In order to care for the increased
number Of exhibits in this department
the management Of the Fair. aided

COLLECTION Of CORN.

One Of a vast number Of features at
the Louisiana State Fair. which be-

the corn exhibit The terrible drouth
Of May and June crippled the crop. out
many farmers made corn in Louisiana
just the same, and they are planning
to show their best specimens at the
Fair.
Over 5000 square feet Of space will
be used for making this display. This
space has been reserved in the agri-
cultural building, which was erected
last year and used for the first time
at the Fair last fall. If more room Is
needed the management will arrange
to furnish 1t, because corn is one Of
the leading crops in the state now and
every possible attention will be given
1t at the Louisiana Fair.
A feature within q feature, SO to
speak, will be the exhibit by the Boys
Corn clubs. Last year this branch OF
the corn exhibit was particularly in
teresting. Practically every person
who attended the Fair entered the ag-
ricultural building to take a look at
the specimens exhibited by the boys.
After having the look the visitors tar
ried, some Of them spending days
there examining the various ears on
The collection was wonder
full and deservedly was praised. One
Of the members of the corn club OF
one of the parishes named Stephen
Henry, 1t will be recalled, had his corn
at the national corn ex-
hibit and there won the first prize
quite a fine advertisement for Louisi-
ana.
Hundreds Of farmers are expected
here this year to take advantage OF
the low railroad rates and visit the
Fair. especially to visit the corn ex-
hibit. The products shown will con-
vince them that Louisiana is rapidly
coming to the front as a corn grow
Ing state.
Many prizes are offered to the ex-
hibitors this year, more SO than ever.
Besides the general premiums Of ST.
700 in cash. there will be number
II special prizes.

POSSIBILITIES
IN RECLAMATION,

The following very interesting
paper was submitted by j. }
Burdin and read by the chairman
at the st. Martinville convention
on the 14th inst:
The improvements suggested fo
the Bayou Tecbe, which are es
seDtial parts of the suggested i'm
prOvement of the Bayou COurta
bleau, namely, to open navigation
through the Teche and to connect
it with the COnrtableau at POr,
Barre, and also to open up Bayou
C0c0drie and Bayou BGGf, are Of
vital importance, aud demand the
support and co operation of every
man and land owner 10 the district.
When the Keystone locks now IN
der construction four mile, below
st. MartlDville are completed and
the contemplated improvements OF
the Teche and the Courtableau
are finished navigation will be
opened to q great territory IN
which We are now unable to navi-
gate, consequently caueing a lack
of development in that territory.
improvements of navigation of
the aforesaid territory will IN
crease the value of these streams
and all lands situated On them at
least $40 Ter acre. Allowing for
5 600 600 acres, this will mean an
increase of some $4,000, 900
Due to fertility Of soil and tran
spOrtation facilities, 1t will also
increase the agricultural products
in the same proportion. adding
another $3O,OOO,OOO to the value
Of the land Improvements by
development in agriculture, manu-.
featuring ard various other indus
tries will increase, thus adding ad
d,tiOna3 value of at least 15,O0O,.
600 TO the land. This We would
say IA q very low estimate, as We
do not wish to exaggeTate. To
dredge the Teche aud to construct
dam in the Courta bleau below
Port Barre, lock ami dam in the
recbe near Arnaudvllle will re-
qnire an appropriation Of S375,OOO
This will be- only half Of one POI
cent of the increased value on the
streams affected. $4,000 is a
low estimate of thu increased
value of the navigable streams
To say nothing Of the reclamation
of a vast area Of land, which the
closing of the Courtableau will en-
able.
Two million acres OF land af
fected by over flow from high wa
ter will be reclaimed after the
C0urtableau Is damned, as this
will enable the Atchafalaya Basin
Levee Board to build q Ieves west
OF the Atchafalaya River which
will protect and drain = vast terri
tory. 1t will also increase the
value of this land from its present
value Of 81 to from $40 to 90 PR
acre, say an average Of about $50
per acle, making q total Of &C.,.
600, 700, 1T y cost to the levoe
board Of &c per dollar. This will
Increase the revenue of
the levee board nine times its pre-
sent revenue, as the lands now as
sessed at 81, under water seven to
eight months 10 the year, after the
will be assessed at 80
Dr. more, to say nothing of the pro-
luce tax on the land reclaimed and |

been TO them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. 1t contains no glycerin
or other Misunderstanding ingredients.
1t is just a pure, natural extract, OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
