New Orleans.-It is an ill wind that

Irufant, writing for an industrial pub.
lcatlon. Louisiana sugar and rice are
to sell at a big advance.
consensus of expert opinion is that
Louisiana has only about IS per cent
OF the normal acreage in sugar. and
mat, as many planters, on account
or the reduction of the tariff, could
not raise money to fertilize or nay
labor to cultivate as thoroughly as
usual, the crop yield will be about
o0 per cent OF Louisianas normal crop.
say 100000 tons, as a minimum Weld
since the LIST of August, the rise in
'he price OF sugar has been nearly O3
cents per pound, $50 per ton. which
would mean $S,o0O,OOO or $4,000, 900
more revenue from her sugar crop
imam Louisiana could have expected
mad not the French, Germans and
Russians abandoned their beet-sugar
crop to 90 to war.
We had very sharp advance in
sugar prices in the summer of 1911.
when the beetsugar crop of both
France and Germany were cut short
by drought. But this is the most sen.
sational advance known to the trade
up to the 26th of July, when Austri.
declared war on little Servia, the gu.
gar interests in Louisiana were con-
sidered seriously crippled by the re-.
duction in the tariff to a OF cent duty

after.
Those planters who had been fortu:
nate enough to plant and cultivate
thelr crops this year had been forced
through the great economy necessary
TO use very little fertilizer and to
give the crop only such cultivation AZ
perhaps was absolutely necessary.
The outlook for prices at harvest
time, while encouraging by reason of
an abnormal shortage in the worlds
supply, could Only be reckoned upon a
crop yield much less than normal.
Many had been forced to abandon
sugar as crop, and with the hope of
recouping their losses had already
converted such part of their planta.
ions as they could cultivate into ex.
detrimental agricultural stations and
'tock farms, with the hope of selling
'ut their lands in small farms as the
advantages of Louisiaua's soil be.
come better known.
Twenty days have brought such a
apid advance in the price of sugar
nat only those who are international
xperts on the worlds sugar crop are
lot skeptical.

New Orleans.-Theodore Roosevelt
in speech at the French opera house
Monday night decried the back
ward and reactionary" policy of the
government in handling the tariff
question, particularly as it affected
Louisiana sugar interests. He reite-
rated his charges that the paying of
$25.000.000 to Colombia as a result Of
the deal whereby the United States
obtained the Panama canal zone would
be blackmail
He left Monday night for a one-day
campaign in the Third Louisiana Con-
gressiOnal District. The Third District
comprises the largest sugar-growing
section of the state.
Some time before Colonel Roose-
welt began his address the opera house
was filled and the doors were closed.
Colonel Roosevelt dwelt on princi.
pies of the Progressive party, but laid
especial stress upon the tariff as 1t
affects the sugar growers of Louisi.
ana. He urged strongly federal con-
troll Of the Mississippi river.
In the afternoon he talked a few
minutes at Southern park. where La
Dor Day picnic was in progress. He
said labor unions in principles are
right and II led by the right sort Of
men, work toward good end. Unions,
however, he said, should be careful
that their leadership does not rest
with the men who place their per.
sonal interest above that of the body
they represent. i
There are little crooks as we'll as

Farm WAGES.

Although farm wages in the United
States increased about 81 per cent. from
1900 to 1910, land values nearly doubled
in the same time, indicating that in the
distribution of the proceeds from farm
ing operations, larger proportion now
goes to capital account and less to labor
account than formerly. The interest
rate on the return on the capitalized
value of land, however, is probably less
now than % or 30 years ago. The value
per acre of crop production increased
about so per cent. from 1900 to 1910.
