CHANGED OPINION OF
The NORTH ABOUT
The SOUTH.

Chicago, ILL.,, April Aft the
north has ever thought the south
anything but progressive, or
slow to move, all such impress
sions have been dispelled in the
minds of the northerners inter-
ested in beet sugar production
by the contest waged in the
south. Louisiana in particular
is admired fer the active manner
in which it's business men have
started a fire under" congress
men who have voted to abolish
the sugar tariff, and thus de-
stroy the cane sugar and beet
sugar industries in the United
States.
The northern beet sugar men,
and sugar beet raisers have, as
a matter of fact, copied the
methods of the southerners in
their efforts to prevent the Wip-
ing out of the northerd beet
sugar industry.
The beet sugar men have been
less perturbed than the sugar
beet raisers, and most of the
agitation in the north is from
the sugar beet raisers. which are
bestirring the agricultural organ
izations in all the states where
sugar beets are raised, to protest
to their congressman against the
acceding to the demands of the
sugar trust, which by putting
sugar on the free list will give
the sugar sale monopoly iato the
of the trust.

WORK OF Re.
Claiming 100000
ACRES OF WASTE"
Land.

New Orleans, La, April, e.
Considering the fact that the
greater percentage of the low
and wet lands, in other words
lands that are subject to recla-
nation by drainage, lie in the
Mississippi Valley, there is not
the slightest reason why the at
tendance of delegates from the
states in the valley to the second
National Drainage Congress
should not be exceptionally large
and intense interes t manifested
in the aims, objects and pur-
poses of the Congress. April
10. IL, 12 and 13 are the dates OF
the second annual meeting OF the
National Congress and New Or
leans, appropriately selected for
the purpose, is the place in
which the meeting will be held.
Those attending the New Or
leans meeting, the principal city
in a state that has wet lands sub
iect to reclamation by drainage
to the acreage of upwards of
10, 600, 900, will have an oppor-
tunity to visit sections of the
state where land has actually
been reclaimed and is now I'M
der cultivation and other sections
where the reclamation work is in
progress. This will give the Wis
itors a practical demonstration
of the possibilities of reclamation
of the rs, 600, 900 acres now lying
idle and considered waste lands
in Al states in the Union.
Reclaimed lands are the most
fertile in the world, being made
up of the top soil of the CONT
rent brought down by streams
Of running water and deposited
in low places, where they still re-
main, too wet for cultivation.
These lands aggregate 40, 600
square miles, or, as said before,
about rs, 900, 900 acres. None of
this land presents the difficulties
that have been met and over
come in Holland, where large
bodies of territory that were COW
cred by the sea were reclaimed
by walling out the water behind
them. The process of reclaim
ing the wet lands of the Missis-
sippi valley and other sections of
the United States is different
from that installed in Holland
years ago. and, most naturally,
the land can be made dry at a
comparatively lower cost a n d
with much less trouble.
