Louisiana's Diversified Products.

Secretary Wilson, at the head of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
has given out the following report on De-
partment Demonstration work in Lou
isiana:
''Work is being carried on more or less
intensively in forty-four parishes of the
State.
''There are over $4,000 acres in actual
corn demonstrations. These demonstra-
tons are located in all sections of the State
and on soils that vary in fertility from the
deep, sandy uplands to the rich river bot
toms. On this large acreage in year of
great drouth and intense heat during the
is 80 bushels Of corn per acre. The esti-
mated State average will not be over 10
bushels TO the acre.
onstration the average yield is GA pounds
of seed cotton per acre under boil weevil
conditions. A large part of this acreage
from June 25th until late in September.
The weevil infestation of these alluvial
soils began as early as May 18th. One of
our travelling agents had over 5000 acres
in cotton demonstration, included in the
above total, on alluvial soils that averaged
1,248 pounds of seed cotton to the acre.
These yields prove conclusively that dem
onstration methods of preparation, good
seed and cultivation, combined with the
persistent fighting Of the weevil both as
adults and in the squares, will make a
profitable crop under any reasonable
weather conditions.
''These results in cotton and corn are
actual tabulated statistics of the demon
stration work in Louisiana.
"Outside of these regular demonstra-
tons, the agents have for the past five or
six years, under Doctor S. A. Knapp's
leadership, persistently urged the small
and large farmers both to raise standard
crops outside of cotton and corn, such as
oats, hay and livestock. The State oil
Louisiana is fast developing from where il
had three staple crops, sugar cane, rice
and cotton, to where it is state of diversi-
fed agriculture. The, census returns oil
1910 show that Louisiana is beginning tc
take rank in agricultural work, in the rails
ing of hay, livestock, including hogs
cattle and horses, the raising of peanuts
and the production of all supplies for the
home on the farm. While the demonstra.
ton work does not claim credit for all Of
this increase in crops and better methods
yet it has done very large part of the
work.

The constant reiteration of the liquor press that
the Anti-Saoon League is not in fact what it claims
to be- the federated church, gives us for reoic
ing. 1t reveals an overmastering dread of the
cohorts. 1t pays tribute to the church militant. 1t

with stand-pat Republicans, and a

that his great adversary is neither?

Steel Tariff Bill Passes, 210 to
1O9.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 20. --Dlla-
tory tactics of Minority Leader Mann
delayed the passage of the Democra-
tic steel tariff revision bill, which was
to have been passed Saturday night,
until 5 O clock this afternoon When
the final roll call was taken, the big
majority for the bill, 2l0 to lO9, with
nine voting present, demonstrated
that Congress still considers public
sentiment overwhelmingly in favor of
immediate tariff reduction.
The bill makes reductions Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariffs, ranging from
IS to so per cent, upon products of
iron and steel, and adds important
items to the free list.
The voting proved the breach in
Republican ranks over the tariff as
wide as it was last summer. Twenty
Republican insurgents deserted the
Mann-C annon-Payne combination of
standpatters, and helped pass the
Democratic measure. Three Demo-
Gratis, Martin, Rucker and Taylor of
Colorado, objected to the cuts in the

no. Hensley, the Democratic men,

the score is found to be a tie at the
close of the second half, the referee
shall order the game to'continue until
either side has made two additional
points," The score at the close of
the second half stood % to %. As

Direct Vote Plan
Pushed in House.

ocratic and insurgent Republican
leaders have agreed upon a plan to
force new fighting in the Senate up
on the resolution amending the Fed
eral Constitution to provide for the
direct election of United States Sena-
tors. Representative Rucker of Mis-
souri,, chairman of the House con-
ferees, has refused all suggestions of
a compromise save one.
On behalf of the House he will
agree to accept the Bacon amend
ment, which provides that the Fed
eral power shall extend over state
election regulations only in cases
wherein the states refuse to elect.
This is designated solely to guard
against an emergency in which a
state, asserting its sole control of
elections. might decline to use the
function.
1t was the suggestion of Senator
Bacon of Georgia as a guarantee that
the change of the Constitution now
pending would not create new loop
hole for asserting the right of states
to secede from the Union.
