The Farmers Institute.

A two days. farmers institute closed
Wednesday evening in conformity with
the program announced last week. The
attendance, however, was not up to the
expectations of the conductors in charge
as scarcely more than hundred were
present at any of the day sessions. The
poor condition of the country roads
may have prevented farmers from a
distance from attending the meetings,
but it is we'll known fact that insti-
tutes in the older settled counties,
where so many farms are occupied by
renters, do not develop so great an in
terest as in the newer portions of the
state.
The topics were handled by men of
experience in their lines of agriculture
and some valuable information brought
out that farmers generally in this COM
munity ought not to have missed. The
hall was we'll filled at the Tuesday ev-
ening session, however, when more
varied musical and literary program
was given. Prof. F. 0. Holt discussed
agriculture in the public schools, and
Mr.. Stiles spoke on Farmers and Ed
ucation." Musical selections were fur
nished by the high school oachestra,
girls glee club and Kathleen Culton.
The cooking school held in connection
with the institute, however, was we'll
attended and the sessions were crowded
with ladies of Edgerton and the sur
rounding country and much larger
hall could have been used.

Louisiana's educational progress is

while most of the schools were con-

the Vermilion river. New Iberia, IN
the beautiful Teche parish, contains
the great salt mines.
When Louisiana became State, the
Government at Washington had re-
served for its personal use large tracts
of unoccupied land. AS the population
increased the State Government wish
ed to possess these lands. But their
requests were refused by the General
Government. They finally, after an
agreement, were given part of the do
main. The only unsettled regions at
present are the swamps, eleven mil
lion acres are now regarded as her
greatest heritage, they are rich allu-
vial land susceptible to reclamation.
The first crops in Louisiana were
raised by Iberville. He planted large
areas in sugar cane. and gave apple,
orange and cotton seeds to the Indians
TO sow. There are now 100000 acres
under cultivation.
Though Louisiana ranks only eighth
in the cotton growing States, it is the
most important crop of the State. Lou
isiana has grown cane for 125 years,
and it now produces nine-tenths of the
cane sugar manufactured in the Unit
ed States. Third in value is the corn
crop. The rapidly growing rice crop
ranks fourth in value. When the cul-
tivation of rice began, it amounted in
the year of 1880 to 700 barrels. Ex-
ceiling all previous productions, it was
100000 barrels in 1900. Large guam
titles of Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes,
oats, hay, peanuts, millionaire, kaffir
corn, cowpeas, sorghum and alfalfa are
grown in various parts of the State. An
excellent species of tobacco is grown
in st. James parish. The red sandy
soil between the Ouachita river and
the Red river is productive in the
growing of fruit. Pecans are grown
throughout the State. The Creole or
anges are famous for their excellence.
The pineapple, guavas, lemons, kum-
quats and figs are grown to a limited
extent. The result of truck farming
east of the Mississippi are large guam
titles of early strawberries and vege-
tables.
In 1881 the legislature passed an act
Incorporating the Pontchartrain Rail-
road. This railroad is the oldest in
1t still exists and connects
New Orleans with the small summer
resort, Milneburg. The navigable
streams of Louisiana are 1874 miles in
length, furnishing cheap transporta-
ton. The system is so complete that
for many years this was the only meth
I'D of transferee, but as demands for
rapid transportation arose, the rail-
roads came into use. In 1890 there |
we're LAO miles of railway, in 1905,
I,l36 miles, and in 1906 there were
1891 miles.
