LEADING INDUSTRIES IN
THE EXPECTATION OF
MANUFACTURES.

Washington, J'rne ,3.-The
success Of the great manuiactur-
ing industries in extending their
sales abroad is illustrated by the
export record of mon, copper,
wood. cotton, leather. and min
eral oils during recent years.
These six great Industries have
been able TO send their products
to every part of the world. ac-
companied, where necessary. By
representatives Of their producers
and distributors and. az a result,
show phenomenal gains in their
foreign sales. Exports of iron
and steel manufactures (includine
automobiles and agricultural i'm
plements with the group usually
designated iron and steel man
ufactures have grown from 30
million dollars i'm the fiscal year
1893 TO approximately 3T5 mil
lion in 1913, or more than tel
times as mrtah as two decades
ago. Copper manufactures show
an even greater gain. from 8 mil
lion dollars in 1893 to approx
imatelv 140 million in 1913
Manufac lures Of wood (including
in this term lumber as well as the
completely finished types Of man

million dollars in the fiscal wear
1899 to about I 10 million in 1913
Cotton manufactures increased
in expectations from ~ nillion

regular customers in town and have
a regular shipping day once or twice

LARGEST BUSINESS COLLEGE
PLANT IN THE WORLD.

Preparations are now being made for
the erection of q third large building
to sessmmpdste the great increasing
crowd of students attending the Tyler
Commercial College at Tyler, Teyss. This
institution has had the most wonderful
growth, Of sny educational institution
in America. It opened Its doors to the
public in January 1900 In an old frame
building with thirteen students. In
1904 II completed a handsome, three
story, brick building, rs by 100 f. This
building was especially constructed for
the permanent home of the TYLER Com
mereial College. II is the largest, best
ventilate d and best equipped CONNER
sisl school building in America. II was
thought at the time of its erection that
II would always be large enough to ac-
commodate the students, but in four
years II was filled TO overlooking AMI
another two-stSry building containing
over 8400 square feet Of Gser space was
purchased and IL is now filled TO over
Rowing The plans are now being pre-
pared for the erection Of the third large
building which will contain over 1900
square feet of floor space
The Tyler Commercial College has
become the great business University
OF America. Its patronage has come
froa thirty nine different state. and six
foreign countries. Its graduates have
gone into and are holding the very best
commercial and government positions in
this and foreign countries. Texs. should
feel honossd to possess such a business
training institution.

SUGAR PLANTERS RAISE
MORE CORN.

Many of the sugar planters of
Louisiana along the Southern Pa
cific have engaged in the plant
ing of corn this wear. according
70 reports received by Joseph Lal-
lande, assistant general freight
agent Mr.. Lallande Wednesday
received reports from many
agents Of the Southern Pacific.
They all agree in the fact that
there is a large increase in the
acreage of corn over any previous
wear. Mr.. Lallande believes from
these reports that the additional
acreage will 90 as high as 20 per
cent over previous years, and be
the highest in the history OF the
State. The stand is fine, better
than was ever known at this time,
he says
"Sugar planters have begun to
raise corn for their own con
sumption. and TO feed to their
stock" said Mr. Lallande. II
believe this is the most important
happening in the agricultural his
tory Of the State. for If shows that
the sugar puanters are getting
away from the one crop system,
and are diversifting | am in
formed that i'm many instances
the planters have fully 20 per cent
of their acreage in corn They
Will feed it TO their stock and VIII
sell what they cannot use. This
activity in corn planting may be
due in a measure to the eduea-
tional lectures ON corn delivered
by Prof Perry G. Holden, the
noted Iowa corn expert, but ! sup
pose in the main they are due to
the necessities of the planters
and their knowledge
that their land will grow excellent
corn crops. II has always been
my belief that the lands of Lou
isiana would produce as fine a
corn yield as the best lands of
Illinois. and | believe will prove
the case.
cit is not alone the sugar
planter who is planting corn this
season. The smaller farmers
have taken mp its cultivation, and
are having fine success. took
for large shipment of corn from
this State to other States. and
probably a movement for export
as well. The beauty of the Louis
lana corn crop is that it is as good,
il not better, than that of other |
corn States, and is ready for mar
ket tbirty-tive to forty days ear
Iier than that from the other
States It is impossible yet TO
forecast what will be the corn
YIELD in cars, along the South
arn Pacific lines, but it is safe to
say that it will be the heaviest on
record. "
Mr.. Lallande is one of the pic
neers in preaching corn culture in
Southern Louisiana. and about
four wears ago wrote an article for
he Sunset Magazine in which he
predicted that this State would
become the greatest corn produc-
ng State in the South, If not in

superintendent and PARISH
School Board Members
Gentlemen-I wish to urge your
very careful consideration of the
following question:
There is a great loss OF money
and energy on account OF lrreg-
ular attendance in the country
schools. During the fall months
many children drop out OF the
schools. or do not enter, because
they are needed to assist IN haf-
vesiing the crops, and in the
spring thousands are taken out
Of the schools to assist in planting
AMI culiivating the crops. Ihe
greatest loss is in the spring
, Then the boys are needed to
pillow. plant aud perform the other
= duties connected with farming. !
frequently 90 into a country
school in April or May and find
+ fewer than half Of the children IN
school The teachers tell me that
the pupils have stopped to work
ON the farm. This condition
breaks up all classification and
results in maintaining An eXpeh-
sivp institution for the benefit OF
few children.
| do not believe that the lar
mprs should be urged to manage
their farm work in such way that
their children can be permitted t"
attend school without Interrupt
lions for a session of nine months.
The bows should be required to
assist in making and harvesting
the crops. IT this work is done
under intelligent direction the
good results will he as great "a
those obtained from attendance
at school. The two institutions,
the farm and the school, should
arrange their programs so as TO
interfere the one with the other
rs little as possible, The ideal
plan would be TO keep the school
open all the year, dividing the
session into three or four terms
with complete units Of work IN
each term. The child could then
select the two or three terms that
would interfere the least with his
home duties The lack Of ample !
means makes this plan impractl-
cable for the most of the parishes.
After studying his question for
number of years, ] have arrived
at the conviction that school
patronized by farmers should not |
be kept open for session of more |
than six or seven months. AS
the boys ar needed most in the
spring. | should think a proper
session for the country schools
would be from August Ist to
March LIST. | believe that schools
so operated would be more etfec-
tive, if all the children could he
in school regularly, than schools
having sessions of nine months,
but cursed with ragged attend
ance. Such plan. of course, i'm
mediately brings up the objection
that competent teachers will not
accent positions of six or seven |
months. The Board could wisely
meet this obiec ton by paying the
teacher a larger salary, or by al
lowing the teacher an extra
month s salary
When ! state that only about
one-half of the country children
enrolled in the schools really at
tend, and that this means a waste
of more than a million dollars in
paid teachers, l am sure
that no further argument is nee
essaru to convince you that this
question deserves your best
thought.
Yours sincerely.
