GROWTH OF THE FARMERS IN
STITUTE.

The growth of the farmers ;nsti-
tute movement III the United States
during the lasl decade has been
steauy. IN the session OF lSO1-5
there We're heio 500 sessions OF n
stitules n Il staIes, as compared
with Z0,o40 SESSIONS helo N 1928.
Inc attendance 1923 was JO4,-
Goa; In l91z-l3 it was 1857 ,3yI
at the regular institutes. The IN
crease III attendance at each session
was ~ per cent, or from an average
of y4.o3 to 141. The appropriations
Increased from $lS7,226 to $5l0,7S4.
during the past year, nQtw4th-
standing the large growth Of the ex-
tension movement by the agr.cul-
tural colleges, the regular Institutes
have increased in attendance 346.-
1872 and in the average number per
SESSION from 131 to 141.
Although institutes were held by
all of the States and Territories in
1913 excepting Louisiana, Nevada,
Alaska, and Porto R CO, returns have
been received from only Al as aga INST
As last year. The States not report
ing held 38S sessions in 1912, at
tended by 34,974 persons. If these
States have held inst tutes in 1913
equal to those of 1912, the totals
would be increased to 21,O2S ses-
sions and 2,932,365 attendance. or
an increase of 1888 sessions and
381,166 attendance, over the pre-
vious year. The institute has in
creased its constituency until it now
numbers about 100000 of rural
people.
There is no way of accurately es-
timat ng the increased efficiency of
the institute worker in recent years
excepting that in the face of all OF
the enterprises looking toward rural
betterment he has not only maintain
ed his position among educators at
teacher of advanced agriculture,
but in the last decade his audiences
have increased Over 200 per cent. 1t
should be stated that this entire
movement has been initiate and
conducted without national appro-
priat on for its support and with a
minimum amount of departmental
aid, thus exh biting an initiative vi
tally and capacity for service of the
body of farmers.-Weekly News Let

ORANGES WILL
MAKE LOUISIANA

The navel orange made Califor-

cultivation Louisiana's seedless
orange viii make Louisiana"
California took out more than
$45, 200 from her oranges last
year. This sum is almost equal to
that taken out of the cotton and sug-
ar crop of Louisiana combined"
These and many other vital things
were sa d by the Hon. Edmund BIS
toll, member of the Canadian Parlia-
ment and general counsel of the New
Orleans Southern and Grand Isle
Railroad, who for several weeks has
been working on gigantic scheme n
behalf Of syndicate of wealthy Ca
nadians. Seen at the Grunewald Ho-
tel Saturday, just before he left for
New York, Mr.. Bristol talked freely
regarding the plans Of the members
of the syndicate, and asserted that
if they carry their plans through to
completion they will mean more to
your city of New Orleans than any
thing that has been done here for
many years.
The synd cate has obtained an op-
ton on about 5000 acres of land in
Plaquemines parish. forming part of
three plantations owned by former
These plantations are the Concession,
the Sara and the Magnolia. The first
two lie along the river front on the
rivers west side. Magnolia is fifty
miles below the city, and is said to be
one of the finest properties In the
State.
The option, now of some weeks
VIII run, said Mr.. Bristol.
until April /, and by that time the
Canadians hope to have overcome the
difficulties that lie in the path of the
scheme. These are declared to be
but slight, and the promoters are
confident that they will get the
property.
To Colonize Land.
Already arrangements have been
tentatively made with orange grow
ers to plant trees on portions of the
land. and the plan includes vast
campaign of national and 'nterna-
tional advertising, which will place
the Louis ana orange in the very fore
front of American fruit crops.
In speaking of the plan Mr.. Bris-
toll SAID:
eve are planning a big thing for
this sectional least It strikes me in
that Fight. and a big thing for our
selves. California was made by the
navel orange. Louisiana can be
made bigger and better State bv
her own orange properly cultivated
and properly advertised. Both are
necessary, but you have here nntola
ADVANTAGES over your California r,v-

TINY MURDERER A LEGAL PROB.
LEM.
Old Negro Unless Charge
Is Changed.

New Orleans, Jan. 13.-Thomas
Jackson, 9-year-old negro boy Of
Eagle street, will face a charge Of
murder in the First, City Criminal
Court, and It Is very probable that
Judge Fisher will try one Of the
youngest alleged murderers in the
State or in the South.
An interesting point seems to be
involved n the case OF the jackson
boy. Though it was at first thought
he would be tired by the Juvenile
Court, that seems impossible through
the fact that the Juvenile Court can
not try a murder or felony case. In
commenting on the situation yester-
day. Judge Andrew H. Wilson sad:
"The boy will not come up before
me on a charge Of murder; II the
charge is changed to one Of man
slaughter, it VIII be different prop
osition."
Immediately following the kill'ny
Of James Cargo. Z years olds which
occurred in front of the Jackson
home, Thomas was rushed off to the
negro quarters Of the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children

that part of the State devoted to
orange growing something like $40
100000. In all she has but 100000
acres capable Of raising this fruit.
Only about one-fourth of this was
devoted to the orange. This land is
worth about $4,000 an acre. 1t has
to pay for the necessary irrigation,
for clearing and for the many other
things needed before the farmer can
set out b s trees and hope for them
to bear fruit.
Put it another way. Louisiana
orange growers VIII have an advan-
tage over their California rivals of
about 81 a box on all fruit~shipped
to the eastern market. Better than
that, they will have better grade
of fruit with which to fight for the
national and world markets. Just
this summer q Louisiana man aas
awarded the prize for the only really
seodless orange ever grown I an
speaking of L. A. Goodeau. of Lasc
Charles. The ordinary navel orange
lis about IS per cent juice. People
are paying for juice in an orange
net for the stringy pulp.
Close to Big Markets.
But, better than that, you are
closer to your big markets--weehs
closer. There remains but the all
vert. sing necessary to convince the
people of the country that you have
what you claim to have-a better,
finer and cheaper orange than any
California can send them--and you
will have won your game.
THAT is the plan of the syndicate
l represent. Already Mr.. Goodeau
has offered to take 100 acres OF this
tract We are after. On This he will
plant 1000 of his own orange trees,
two years old. These will go with
1000 Louisiana orange trees on .,
acres. The rest of the land he will
use for planting $4,000 trees for nur-
sery purposes"
But the syndicate has not stopped
with one man. The plan includes the
colonization of the property with
small farmers. Negotiations have
been opened with number OF land
agents, and the, land will be sold
under favorable terms to these colo
nists.-Sunday Times Democrat.

jackson, Mss. Jan. NV. c..
Walters, charged with kidnapng Rob-
ert Dunbar from his home at Opelou-
sasi La, in August, 1912, was or
dered turned over to the Louisiana
authorities IN a decree issued today
by the Supreme Court. Walters had
instituted habeas corpus proceedings
to resist extrad ton.
The Supreme Court affirmed the de-
cree of Judge Weatherby, in the court
of Pearl River County, deny ng writ.
This case has been before the pub
lie since the early part of last year,
when Walters was arrested in Marion
County with a child in his custody
which he claimed to be the illegiti-
mate offspr ng of woman who had
.ntrusted it to him. Governor Brew
er declined to surrender the child
until he was satisfied beyond every
reasonable doubt that the child found
with Walters was really the missinw

resenting Governor Brewer, conduct
ed an inquiry in New Orleans which
resulted in the absolute identifica-
ton Of the boy.
Attorneys for Walters instituted
habeas corpus proceedings to save
Walters from the execution of the
writ from Louisiana and the govern
or's requis:t on. Judge Weathersby
denied the writ, and from that de-
cree the appeal was taken.
The Opin on in the case was hand
ed down by Justice Reed, affirming
the trial court and holding that Wal

There is no doubt about silk stock
ings being the chosen hosiery of the
well dressed woman. The wise shop
keeper, however, selects a good quail
ity of silk stockings, for she knows
we'll that cheap grade cannot wear
any length of time. Among the cheap
grades of silk stockings there are
many which are not really silk at all.
tussah silk, spun silk and even wood
fiber, for instance, being sold under
the stamp of pure silk. One can dis
tinguish stockings of wood fiber by a
hard feeling in the stockings, as II
they had been knitted from tightly
twisted yarn.
Vegetable silk is made from wood
fiber or from raw cotton. Artificial
or vegetable silk burns like cotton
that is, with practically no ash
while silk resembles the wool fiber,
boiling up or bubbling. forming a
lumpy sort and giving forth the odor
of burned hair. BY pulling a few
threads from the top of stocking,
one can determine whether she is re-
ceiving the silk she Is paying for or
