Wealth in Pine Stumps.

Pine lands denuded were for a
long time considered practically
worthless: but in recent years
experiments have shown that
they can be turned into richly
productive farms. One of the
difficulties was the removal OF
the stumps, involving heavy
labor aud almost prohibitive
cost.
But that difficulty is now be-
inc solved. 1t is interesting to
learn that a company with head
quarters at Laurel, Miss, has
demonstrated that the disposing
Of pine stumpage can be made
more profitable than the hand
ling of the timber itself.
The company was organized
only q year ago to extract pro-
ducts from pine stumps. With
4 force of only sixteen men, a
small plant and limited capital
zation it has made a profit Of S. a
cord on the stumps it has handl'
ed during the year, and the
average acre Of cut overland in
It's territory yields eight cords
Il will thus be seen that it is
earning $40 an acre, which is
more than the mill men have
been able to make from the vir.
gin pine.
Louisiana has thousands Of
acres of cut-over lands which
sooner or later will come into
cultivation. Farmers heretofore
have had to get rid of the stump
age by burning or blasting. The
expense, however, is high.
The success of the Laurel con
Germ would seem to suggest an
opportunity for enterprising in
vest0rs in Louisiana. Not only
would similar plants in tbi.
State add greatly to our wealth
MSthev were able to earn an
equal profit; but they would
enormously increase the acreage

next few years, ought to come Il

LOUISIANA PRESS OPINION

Strange isn'ti it how the self
anointed reform papers of the
state refer to the Democratic
organization of New Orleans as
the ring" What they mean is
regulars-not ring. The New
Orleans organization has always
been astrong factor in the regu-
lar Democratic organization of
the state and has never given its
support to Donelson Gallery,
John M. Parker, james Wilkin-
son and other leaders Of the So
called reform party of the state,
who have repeatedly deserted
the Democratic ranks to seek
political emolument at the hands
of Republicans and mugWumps.
It would be well for some of
those who are prone to criticise
the ring" to look into their own
political records and see if they
have always heWn to the line as
perfectly as the members of the
so-called New Orleans ring.
The regular Democratic organ
ization OF New Orleans needs no
defense. It may not have al
ways acted wisely, but it has at
least been consistent. It has
been responsible for Louisiana
keeping a solid Democratic front
in Washington and has kept the
faith. Lake Charles Times.
It is only a question of inteIli-
gent, close and thorough atten-
ton, and the farmers Of Louisi-
ana can raise as good seed and
breed as fine stock as can be i'm
ported from any country in the
world. Not only is this true,
but itopens up to the Wide-awake
man a fine opportunity to make
splendid profit on his time and
labor. The Louisiana Publicity
Commission at Baton Rouge, La.
III cooperation with other States
and Federal departments, will
assist every man who engages IN
the enterprise, and every citizen
is invited to enlist in the good
work. All growers of pure bred
seed, corn, oats, and other farm
products, also Of pure bred stock
are requested to send in their
address to the Baton Rouge Of
fee Also those who may want
to purchase aecIimated seed or
stock should write the Louisiana
Commission at Baton
Rouge. -Colfax Chronicle.

. FEW WORDS ABOUT
The BOIL WEEVIL

I'LL DULL WLLflI
by M. D. Query, u. S. Ento
mologist.)
1t is the opinion of most ento.
mologists that the Weevil has
come to stay.
The climate of Louisiana is es-
pecially suited to its habits OF
life. It may leave parts OF
Texas, but it will never volun-
tarily leave Louisiana.
Another fact that supports the
belief that It will remain, is the
fact that it is still in Mexico
where it was first observed by
the spaniard two hundred years
ago.
Though it has a few para
sites, they are not enough to de
stroy it, as they do the cater
pillar and grass worm.
Birds do not eat many. Crap
lights have proved an absolute
failure. Poisoning does not pay
for the reason that the WeeYil
digs a hole directly inward and
makes his meal from the bottom
of the hole. There is a reward
of 500, 900 from the II. S. Gov
eminent and $50, 900 from Texas
for an effective poison, but these
rewards remain unWon.
At present, we have but two
practical remedies, picking and
burning both WeeVil and form,
and starvation.
We will take a look at the last
remedy first. It has been abso-
proved that the Weevil
eats nothing but cotton in spite
Of the popular notion that he.
can subsist on blackberries and
moss. No doubt many. are found
in the blackberry bushes and
more in the moss, but5thls is eg-
planned by the fact that they

talk of cotton in 1914 and see
o it that there is no volunteer
,otton that is allowed to grow,
here, would not be a boil WeeVil

I believe this plan will eventu-
lIy be adopted, but IN the mean
irae, there are some great OBJ
in the way. The great
