Great Public Game Preserves.

What is one of the finest natural
preserves for aquatic. game is located
on the coast of Louisiana in the par.
lsh of Vermilion. Offers of large
tracts of these lands have been
made to the state by the parties own
ing them, the condition exacted being
that the state should protect the wa
ter-foWl and game animals from dep
redating poaehers. Mrs. Russell
Sage Of New York, Charles w. Page
OF Chicago, and the McIlhennys of
Louisiana, owners of large bodies
of land, have made this generous
offer, which the State Game Com
mission is considering, No state is
richer in game resources than is Lou
isiana, and yet, by our negligence,
We have allowed some of our most
valuable species to be exterminated,
practically, while the market hunter
is making deadly threads on the re-
mainder. It is the duty of the state
to protect and propagate what we
have left for the benefit Of this

LOUISIANA ORANGES FINE.

Peiican State Fast Coming to Front

Accumulation of Wealth Unsur
passed in America.
Citrus fruit grown on the lower
coast of Louisiana is as good as the
best produced in Florida or Cali.
| fornIa, writes Elmer r. Ayers, asso-
e1ate editor, in the Mercantile and
Financial Times. He gives the citrus
development in Louisiana liberal
treatment in an article under the
caption of Orange Growing in Lou
! isiana.
An expert in this particular line,
Mr.. Ayers writes: ssThe story Of the
progress which is being written in
connection with the development OF
the natural resources of Louisiana
should be of interest to every one
seeking a new home where the
chances for promotion and profit are
much greater than they are in the
crowded east, as well as to those
who have money to invest in farm
lands, city property. timber lands
and the like. This state is endowed
with such resources and capabilities
as to hold out as great inducements
for the accumulation of wealth as
can be found anywhere else in the
country, and possibly greater. There
is ample opportunity for the widest
diversificaLion of interests and abun-=
dant room for the conduct of opera
tions upon a most extensive scale,
agricultural, manufacturing, mercan-
tile and financia1h
The average person believes tkazaS
practically all the oranges grown in
this country come from either Flor
ida or California, but such is far
from the truth. a fact which is be-.
coming more apparent every year.
Louisiana is fast coming to the front
as a great producer of the finest
oranges grown, and under intelligent

other citrus fruits will unauestionabIy

Mr.. Ayers said it is necessary to re-
member that in Florida new land has
to be cleared, and the long intraeta
bic roots Of palmetto scrub cling with
such tenacity to their natural ele-
ment that getting such land ready
for planting is a very expensive and
arduous task In California = writes
Mr.. Ayers, the dry lands have to
be irrigated and the charges for wa
ter constitute a very important item
in the growers Annual expenses. The

all the elements necessary for grow

the climate is such as to make

one of the best land propositions
which the writer has come across,
and the standing of the vendors of
the land is such as. to command the
confidence of prospective patrons.

Nearly all the parishes have de
