An URGENT NECESSITY.


prosperity of Louisiana depends
upon the development of her agri.
cultural resources, the farming in
terest of the State, and other
branches of industry depending
upon the products of the plantation
and farm, are now almost a unit
concerning the necessity for greater
facilities being provided the youth
OF Che State for their more thorough
education along lines of agricultural
practice, including field crops and
live stock. 1t is also realized that it
will devolve upon our State Agri-
cultural College to provide this nee
essary education; but in order to do
30, greater equipment will be abso-
lutely essential, and what this insti-
tuition stands most in need of at the
present time, and for the future, is
a building at the University with
adequate equipment to take care of
this most important branch of work
In showing the general sentiment
throughout the State regarding this
matter, it is only necessary to men,
ton that the most prominent agri-
cultural and allied organizations
have expressed themselves, either
through resolution or endorsement,
OF the project Of having the coming
Legislature appropriate an adequate
amount of money for the purpose of
erecting, on the State University
campus, an agricultural building in
keeping with the present and pro-
spective needs of the States agri-
cultural development, and repre-
sentative Of the planters and farmers
of the State.
Among the organizations which
have 30 expressed themselves
may be mentioned the Louisiana
Swine Breeders Association; the
Louisiana Corn Growers Association
the Dixie Dairymen's Association
the New Orleans Board of Trade:
an association of some 275 farmers
OF the State in attendance at the
Farmers Short Course last January.
etc.
The unity Of expression on the
subject covers, practically, the whole
State of Louisiana, and is illustrat-
i've OF the general sentiment which
prevails with reference to the subject
OF providing an agricultural building
on the University grounds which |
will represent the farming classes of |
the State, and better enable our
young men to prepare themselves
for the greater developement of the
States agricultural resources.
Up to the present time the State
has never made an appropriation
specifically for the construction of
agricultural buildings in connection
with the College of Agriculture;
those at present occupied are merely
of buildings scattered |
over different parts of the campus,
md totally inadequate for the pur-
pose.
It is hoped that all progressive
citizens in our parish interested in
agriculture will lend their aid in the
accomplishment of this project,
which is one of our greatest needs
t the present time.

WATCHFIjL Waiting
IN REALTY TRADE
Very Little Buying and Not
Many Contracts Let
Out Lately
ASK BIDS SOON FOR
NEW HANOVER CHURCH

Waichful waiting is the most opti-
mistic expression which maybe truth
fully used in describing conditions in
the Wilmington real estate market for
the week The depression which is
being felt in other lines of business is
rapidly affecting realty. Investors
are either frightened because of the
general situation or are waiting a
more opportune time for buying. The
market is decidedly dull. and the
apathy which has been ap-
parent for the past few
weeks is spreading. There have
been numerous requests for informa-
tion relative to properties but brokers
have been unable to get action.
There are several factors which are
depressing the market and among
them is the extreme closeness Of mon
ey How long this condition will pre-
vail is a question of first importance
TO brokers and investors.
Rapidly increasing cost of living is
not aiding real estate men. nor is the
growing army of unemployed an ele-
ment contributing to a healthy mar
ket However, the tendency among all
classes to tightly hold to whatever
funds they may possess is the most
notable feature of the situation, realty
men assert
The week has been duh with con-
tractors. A few small jobs have been
let. but the number Of these is de-
ereasing Builders say there arc
many persons who are contemplating
erection of homes. but adds that these
are awaiting developments before
asking for plans or bids.
Il never have seen times so dull,
declared A. S. Reed, of the contracting
firm bearing his name. I'VE have nOl
been requested to file bids of a jof
OF considerable size during the pas
two weeks. Something is radically
wrong. for ! know a number of mer
who want to build, but are afraid TO dc
so in the face of existing conditions.
while the situation is not encour
aging. we are busy. Our men are
hard at work on the State HOspita
and Girls Industrial School building
We arc laying concrete on the frs
named structure. and are making ra
pid progress on the other buildings.
