to go forward more courageously and
strenuously to blot out the mail order

they might have been, as the prac-

Should Raise Hogs Ia Louisiana.

To instruct the negro farmers OF
Louisiana in hog raising, Neal MI.
Leach, traffic manager OF the Texas
and Pacific railroad, induced the Fort
Worth stoekyard Company to send
C. C. French with thirty-eight Duroc-
Jersey hogs to the negro state fair
now being operated In New Orleans.
Arriving In the city with his prize
collection, Mr.. French was surprised
at the small interest taken In hog
culture in Louisiana.
.4,The Mississippi and Red River
valleys" he declared, "are the finest
hog grazing spots in the United
States al far as can deduce. This
S owing to the fact that they can
furnish something green for the hogs
he rear round, and the hog Is dis.
tinctIy grazing animal and only
makes money while on the pasture
When pen fed he is more than APT
to eat up the profits.
Mr.. French is secretary OF the
boys and girls. hog clubs OF Texas
and the father OF the institutions
FOR the past several months he has
s,ean delegated to organize thess
clubs among the schools OF thai
state.
He declares that Texas is spending
annually FOR pork about $50 900 .00t
and that Louisiana Is sending out o
| the state annually s30,0D0.O00 fol
hogs. Twenty years ago. he said

To Exploit Louisiana by Special

mineral products OF Louisiana. just
after the close of the state fair, will
i leave for a tour Of Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and other states, for the
purpose of attracting desirable home.
seekers and investors to Louisiana.
and to exploit the agricultural pos

The exhibits will be composed Of
those used at the state fair, SO that

the swnrkzzzand the commission Is now
engaged in raising this amount.
Each parish will be asked to con-
tribute according to its assessment,
and subscriptions will likewise be
solicited from various interests to
be benefited by new settlers.

which the agricultural and other re-
sources OF the state may be more
effectively exploited than by a train

in appointing the commission. This
train can conVincingly convey to
prospective settlers the potent facts
with regard to the productivity of
Louisiana and the adaptability of this
section OF the country for agricultur

New Enterprises for ST. Elmo.

The month OF August was the best
st. Elmo has known since the town
site was established, since it mark
ed the advent OF three newcomers
in the ST. Elmo commercial field.
Most important of these industrial
ventures is the corn and grist mill
now being operated by a. & v. ,Foltz
and J. r. BeauYais. These young
men have put Ia Fairbanks Morse
corn shelling and grinding outfit,
run by gasoline motive power, and
are by this means taking care OF a
large percentage of the fine crop Of
corn that has been raised in and
around st. Elmo this season. The ar.
rangement under which the work is
done is a share of the product, and
the scale OF payment has been figured
on a basis that has been found salts
factory all round. From present in
dications this corn mill will be run
ming full time all through the fall and
winter. That it lis a boon to the
farmers in the Vieinity of st. Elmo
goes without saying. 1t viii enable
the corn-grower To put his product in
condition to be- marketed at top prices.
should he wish TO ship it, or il he is
ambitious to convert the corn
into 4.hog-meat' and "chicken-meat," :"
(where the most profit lies), he will
get the full food value OF the grain
for his stock because of its being
properly shelled and ground.
A lumber yard. which has been a
crying need in st. Elmo for the past
year, has at last been established by
George w. Reese. To show just
how much this yard was needed it is
only necessary to state that more
than one-thtrd Of the first carload tof
lumber was sold before it was even
shipped from the mill
Mr. Reese viii also operate an oil
supply station, at which gasoline,
coal-oil, lubrieafIng oils, greases and
painters supplies will be retaiIed to
the public. A handsome little build
ing for. housing the oil business is
now in course 81 erection in Market
Square.
All these enteTprises have been
brought into being as a result of the
completion OF fHe st. Elmo Railroad
line. This railr0ad opens up a trade
