Making a Dairy State.

Minister Egan's recent &C
dresses here, telling of the won
derful material results in Den
mark wrought by the dairy in
dustry, brings a suggestion t.
: Us for a concerted movement il
Louisiana to duplicate what tn
Danes have done. Through
. dairying they have made Den
mark one of the richest countrje.
on the globe.
Though having only 15,OO(
square miles of territory, Den
mark supports a population Of
Z. 100000, and in 1911 sent a.
broad $4,000, 900 worth of but.
ter, 100000 worth Of bacon
and $1o.000.00o worth of eggs.
Louisiana has three times the
territory of Denmark and $4,000
fewer inhabitants, but in 1911
she brought from other states
over $16.OO0.OOO of dairy nro-
ducts.
Yet the conditions in Louisiana
for dairying are smore favorable
than they are in Denmark. Why,
then, should not Louisiana have
raised these products herself?
Wisconsin, Iowa, and other
great States Of the Northwest.
were, thirty years ago, in as dis.
tressing q state as the Danes in
1848, when they laid the founda-
ton of their dairying business.
They also had suffered crop fail
ures and their lands were i'm
poverished. What the boil wee
vii has done for the cotton grow.
ing sections of Louisiana and the
ultimate removal of the tariff on
sugar will do for the sugar Sec
tons. the chinch bug had done
for them.
But, like the Danes. they turn.
ed to dairying with the same
happy results.
Louisiana has advantages which
neither Denmark nor these
northwestern dairying States
possess. She has nine months
Of mild weather, light winters
and practically no snow. Field
work goes on the year round.
Cattle NAV Craze constantly ont
IF doors. Her soil is capable of |
producing not one but several |
crops . year. She can grow
Iced in abundance.
Conditions are therefore ideal
or Louisiana to keep at homel
he $4,000. 600 she sent away
asst year for dairy products, even
t she does not raise = surplus
beyond her own needs to sell
elsewhere.
If the tariff on sugar is now
he minimum at which Louisiana
IN produce the crop probably,
seems more likely than
hat sooner or later it will have
o be produced unpro6tably, for
While, after : precarious strug.
yle, sugar has been again saved,

protection it now receives inevita-
ole will be curtailed as the tariff
