Why Some Towns Grow.

The reason why some towns grow is be-
cause there are men Of push and energy
in them, who are not afraid to spend their
time and money to boom their town.
They erect substantial buildings, organize
stock companies and establish factories,
secure railroads, work for public improve
ments and use every means in their power
to induce people to locate in their city.
Wherever they 60 they tell of the advan-
tages of their city, they write about them
in every letter, they send circulars and
newspapers TO all whom they think they
can get to visit the city, and when any
one visits them treats him so kindly that
he falls in love with them and their city
at once. It is enterprise and everyone
pulling together that makes a progressive
town, and don't let the fact escape your
memory.-Iberville South.

How to Tell II Your Hair is Diseased.
Even if you have a luxuriant head OF
hair you may wait to know whether It is in
a healthy condition or not. Ninety eight
per cent of the people need a hair tonic.
Pull hair out of your head; if the bulb
at the end of the root is white and
ssrunken, it proves that the hair is dis
eased, and requires prompt treatment if
its loss would be avoided. If the bulb is
pink and full, the hair is healthy.
We want every one whose hair requires
treatment to try RexaIl "93" Hair Tonic.
We promise that it shall not cost any
thing if it does not give satisfactory re-
suits 1t is designed to overcome dan

the hair roots, tighten the hair already in

Monroe May 4, ), and 6-Land
Development to be Exploited and
Opportunities for Homeseekers
Discussed.
w. E. Monroe, president of the Louisi-
ana Farm Land Congress, has issued his
official call for the second annual meeting
of that organization to be held in Monroe,
May 4, S and s.
The objects Of the congress are de-
clared to be as follows: By the general
diffusion of knowledge of America S farm
lands to educate and accurately inform
the people of the entire country as to the
possibilities of development of all lands
within the southwest and the opportuni-
ties for the homeseeker to achieve inde-
pendent life and fortune: to promote the
movement for farm reclamation and farm
development, the settling, colonization
and bringing into permanent productive
use of all lands now unsettled and uncul-
tivated, or not fully cultivated;to advance
farm knowledge, and generally encourage
agriculture and the farm building
spirit of the American people. It will en-
deavor to establish some form Of national
organization broad enough to coordinate
the efforts of similar bodies working in
special fields to the same general end and
to establish means by which the home-
seeker may most easily and quickly secure
definite, accurate and reliable information
as to the lands and opportunities the ad-
Yantages and disadvantages of any sec
tion to which he may be attracted.
This will be strictly land develop
ment congress, and its program will fully
cover, discussed by those best informed,
the opportunities for the homeseeker in
irrigable dry farming drainage and rain
belt lands in every division of the country,
and show what has been done and will be
done in reclamation, immigration, coloni-
Zation, transportation and kindred lines.
1t will bring by actual illustration con-
cretely to the mind of the home-h builder
what has been accomplished and what he
may hope to do by way of achieving in
dependent fortune.
The fullest opportunity will be given for
open discussions of the lands of all sec
4 tions, following the set numbers on the
y program.
4 Reduced railroad rates will be offered,
of which local railroad agents will be duly
notified and newspaper announcement
made to the public as soon. as arrange
ments are perfected. All persons intend
ing to attend will please write to the

ately on arrival i'll Monroe will please

Rapid aHd Intensive Cultivation.

At the present stage of the corn crop of
Louisiana, aud during the next two
months in the growth of cotton, nothing
will contribute more to good yields than
frequent shallow cultivation. 1t requires
less work to run over a plot twice with
the harrow and once with the cultivator
than it does to have to oH-bar the crop,
hoe it out, and throw furrow to the
plant. Weeds are easiest kept down by
being destroyed when they first come up,
Shallow, but frequent, cultivation does
this; and the first cultivation required is
narrowing before the crop comes up, and
again week later, and again a third
time This insures better crops and
means greater profits to the farmer II is
needless to add that the farmer who uses
a two-row cultiyator with two horses, rid
ing instead of-walking, saves labor to
himself, saves money, accomplishes more
work and enjoys life more than he would
by wasting his time walking behind a
little horse implement. More team
work and relatively less human labor is
one OF our great needs
An attractive bulletin on corn growing
in Louisiana has been issued by the De-
partment Of Agricultural Extension of the
Louisiana State University. The bulletin
was written by Professor v. L. Roy, di-
rector of agricultural extension and state
agent in charge of the boys corn clubs
and is Illustrated with twenty-four in

LOUISIANA LANDS SCORE AGAIN.
Farm Cultivated Continuously for
Twenty Years Yields Three Crops
a Year Without Fertilization
Other Than That Obtained from
CoWpeas.

Twenty years of continuous farming
with three crops year, and without the
use of any fertilizers, on a tractkof land
in ST. Charles parish. are facts vouched
for by Charles Elfer, owner of the prop
erty, that show the fertility of Louisiana
lands
The land in question is Clara farm,
about fifteen miles above New Orleans on
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad.
Mr.. Elfer says his land has been farmed
continuously for twenty years, that every
year he has grown three crops-cabbage,
then corn and then coWpeas- and that IN
all that time he has used no fertilizers
other than that obtained from the cow
peas.
Experts have said that Louisiana has
the most fertile farm lands in the United
States says Mr.. Elfer, land can give
facts from actual experience, here and
elsewhere, to bear out their statements.
On Mr.. Elfer's land there are. eighty
acres in cabbage, from which he got 200
or more crates per acre. While in New
Orleans recently he displayed a head Of
cabbage weighing Is pounds, which he
said had been picked at random in his
field.
1T had not yet filled out he said, "oE
it would weigh rs pounds
Mr.. Elfer sells his truck products chiefly
in Chicago. He says there has been
much development in truck gardening
along the Valley road in st. Charles parish.

NORTHERN PACIFIC AGREES
ON SUMMER TOURIST RATES

Walter Adams, agent Northern Pa
cific Railway company, has been ad-
vised that summer tourist rates, and
dates Of sale for coming season, have
been agreed upon. Tickets will be
on sale on various dates during the
months of May. June, July, August
and September. In past seasons It
has been the custom to put these tick
cts on sale but four days in each
month. This has been found unsat-
isfactory on account OF forcing the
travel on these days resulting in con-
gestion. To avoid this a large num-
Der of additional dates Of sale have
been arranged for the coming sea-
son and 1t has been decided to make
the going transit limit fifteen days
instead Of ten days as in the past.
The final limit will be ninety days
from date of sale, but in no case later
than October 31st, 1911. Stopovers
will be granted at any point within
the transit limits of the ticket, and
the dates of sale have been arranged
so as to accommodate the different
conventions to be held throughout the
east during the summer months. Full
Information as to dates, routes,
sleeping car accommodations, etc.,
can be obtained by calling upon Mr..
Adams.

day.
Reginald Veil, of London, brought
the suit which involves $l,SOO,OOO.
Early in his career as a railroad build
er, Mr.. Moffat was bitterly fought by
several railroad interests in Colorado
and had great difficulty in securing
funds to finance his railroad projects.
When everything seemed darkest he
met In this city the English promoter,
Veil, who said he could raise the mon
ey needed in England. An English
engineer was sent out to Colorado at
Moffats expense to look over the
property. Veil, according to Mr. Mof-
fat failed to produce results and Mof-
fat secured the needed money else
where. Later Veil brought the ST.
100000 suit against the Colorado
railroad builder, alleging that a me-
morandum which Moffat had made
was contract and embraced an op-
ton on the bonds of the Moffat road.
Moffats attorney contend that the
memorandum was neither a contract
nor an option, and that whatever 1t
was, Veil was unable to carry out any
part of 1t.
