Lower Living Cost.

- T.
The high cost of living has reached
such point that it is being viewed
with much concern by the public at
large. In towns and cities the
people are organizing and concert.
ing their efforts whereby they
may find a way of reducing the
cost on all the necessities OF
life. In many of the larger cities
women, by organization, were en-,
abled to force down the price of
eggs and butter. Just recently in
New York a central exchange was
organized where the consumer can be
put IN touch with the producer on
the farm, and have produce and vege-
tables delivered by parcel post. This
movement is destined to be extended
in the small cities and towns, for the

for which he receives nothing. The
present high cost of living is growing

Postal savings depositors in Lou

$3.50 of postal savings bonds to be
distributed Jan. 1. Application for
this amount has been made by
twenty depositors. More than $4,000
Of this amount of bonds has been ap-
Piled for in the registered form, indi-
eating they are being purchased as a
permanent investment. Applications
have been made for thirty-one of the
registered bonds, two of the $40 de-
nomination, tWenty-three of the $500
and six Of the $500 denomination.
Four applications have been made
COR the coupon bonds, two for the $50
and two for the 500 determination.
New Orleans leads all other cities
Of the state with respect TO the
amount of bonds annlied for, with
total of $4,000, Following in order,
are: Anite, $500; Alexandria, $40;
Natalbany, 5000; New Iberia, $140;
Bogalusa, Jennings, Lake Charles and

Money in CauiifIoWer.

Recently from the experiment sta.
ton Ia Baton Rouge a shipment OF
#eauliflower was made to Boston and
New York. Note what the commits
sion merchant writes in reference to
this Louisiana product:
I'VE have now received two small
shipments from you. he first lot
sold at S1.75 per box and the second
lot sold at $1.50 per box. To US this
seems a very good price, when you
consider there are only six heads in
a box. The nature of the flower in
dicates you have the right kind Of
seed, and you grew the right kind Of
flowers: It grows and has an. appear
ance very much like our Long Island
caulifloWer. It is considerably better
than the California flower, because it
is more solid, = y II We are in
clined to think If it were known to
the large operators on the Pacific
grown in Louisiana, and if the
acreage of suitable land is available,
some of them would start growing
cauliffoWer in your section on a large
scale.
Note also that this vegetable brings
a better price in New York than the
California article and still higher
price in the Boston market.
At the experiment farm this season
approximately 10000 caulifIoWars y II
be shipped. At s. Ae4 sress, the
Boston nEios, after paying express
and commission, each head will bring
a little more than q cents. At $175
the net return will be II cents per
head.
This illustrates IN figures. the re

THE NATIONS SUGAR CR0P.
Governments Report on the Beet SUI
gar Industry-areat Growth SINGS
1aee-Nineteen States Can Pro-
duce Beet Sugar.

/
The Department of Agriculture's re
port ON the beet sugar industry has
Just been issued It contains inform
alton on the work Of the Bureau OF
Plant Industry on sugar beets, gen
eral review of the beet sugar indus
| try, the sugar beet in European agri
cultural economy, relations Of adapta
ton to Improvement of sugar beet
varieties for American conditions
farm practice in the Arkansas valley
Colorado, suggestions on cultural
methods in the sugar beet industry
and sugar statistics.
The cane sugar industry Jared bad
~ this year on account of the Mis-.
sissippi river flood, the entire pro
ductlon, including molasses and
syrup, being valued at only $4,000.
/ 900, says the report. The production
of beet sugar during 1899 amounted
| to S1.729 short tons, while the 1912
product aggregates 100000 short tons
valued at s73,000,000.
There are now in operation sixty.
six beet sugar factories in seventeen
states, which used during the past
season 5,062,333 tons Of beets, pro
/ duced on Al, 877 acres, and the indus
| try has become one of the malnsteys
and chief supports of agriculture I'M
der irrigation in the semi-arid states.
Yet this industry produces practically
only one-eighth of that necessary Tor
home consumption. Importation from
entirely foreign territory now approx
mates 10000 short tons annually.
A home beet sugar production suffi-
cient to cut off this importation would
not affect the home cane sugar in
dustry adversely, says the report, be-
cause that has so nearly reached it's
limit that any possible growth it
may have from now on will not equal
the annual increase in the country S
consumption, which has considerably
more than doubled in the past TWEEN
tyfive years, and now is greater per
capita than any other country except
England.
With the present low average of
one and one-fourth short tons of beet
sugar per acre, it would require 1000
600 acres to produce the 100000
short tons now imported, or, as the
acreage harvested the last year was
slightly less than 475,000, it would
need the production of 100000 acres
under beets to equal the entire home
demand, condition to which for
more than eighty years economists
have looked forward.
In the nineteen states adapted to
growing beets there are about two
and one-half million farms and 278,-
719,622 acres of improved land.
Therefore if every farmer in those
states could cultivate one acre of SUI
gar beets, some of the cane sugar
from non-contigous territory would
have to seek another market. Or if
one farmer in four in. these states
would plant a three-acre patch and
give it the care that could readily be
bestowed upon SO small q plot, it
would be unnecessary for US to buy
foreign sugar.

A remarkable similarity in the ma

as the result of an operation per-
formed upon Clarence at Maryland
Hospital. Though hundreds of miles
may separate the twins, any mental

They are IS years old, and it now
becomes public that they have been
experiencing these sensations since
they were small children.
When Clarence was put under ethe
his sister became i'll and suffered the
same fever and nausea as her broth

his sister felt much better. Clar-
