Be RICHEST STATE
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER BRUN
Err SHOWS 1918 PRODUCTS
WORTH $24e,246, 900.
MORE COTTON AND CORN
Declares Natural Advantages Are Su-
perior to Those of Any
Other State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Louisiana, with its
agricultural, mineral and industrial ad-
vantages, has every requisite neces-
sary to become the wealthiest and most
prosperous state in the Union, accord
ing to E. o. Bruner, state commission
er of agriculture and immigration, who
has just issued the annual report Of
his department.
A summary of the report shows that
the products for the year 1913 were
worth $249,246,OOO. The agricultural
products, the yield from only 100000
acres, had a total valuation of $780,
241,O00. Despite the fact that the 1913
season was one of the most unfavor-
able ever experienced in this state, the
cotton crop exceeded the previous year
by 56,469 bales and the corn crop
gained S,o31,976 bushels.
In commenting upon the review of
the year, Mr.. Bruner said:
The health Of the state has been
excellent. We have suffered no great
disasters. Our people generally have
known only peace. Yet, like all states,
but with absolutely no reason. we have
some knockers, GROWERS and calamity
howlers.
"Our natural advantages are SUI
perior to those of any other state. Our
lands are most fertile. Our climate
is both delightful and helpful. Our
pastures are perennially green. Our
water supply is inexhaustible. The out
put Of our oil and gas wells, sulphur
and salt mines, is uneQualed in the
world. Our soil will produce, and our
farmers are now raising nearly every.
thing that grows.
Our immigration department has
been crowded with work answering in.
quiries about our state, locating set
tiers and assisting them in every way
possible. The result is that thousands
of desirable immigrants have made
Louisiana their home. Thousands and
thousands of acres of land have been
made to yield abundantly, bringing
greater wealth to the farmer and great
er prosperity to the state.
1--WE have, in the last two months
organized two very important associa
tons. One was at Fort Worth, Texas
by the commissioners Of agriculture
Of the Southern States, called the Mar
ket Association, the object being t.
assist tffe farmer in marketing his
products. The second was organized
in Baton Rouge, and called the Parish
Fair Association, the object beins
to fix dates for parish fairs, the eli
mination of undesirable attractions
and the encouragement of agriculture
fairs generally.
"In this battle for a greater ant
more prosperous Louisiana my depart
ment and all of its branches are en-
listed, and we want the people to re
gard this department as headquarters
Call on us at any time, day or night
We want to help the people raise NOR,
and better crops. Any information W,
have or can obtain that will be of as
sistance to the farmer in solving hi
farm marketing problems will b,
cheerfully furnished for the asking
We are here to serve the people Of thi
state, and all communications will
receive prompt attention"

Washington.-The fate OF the Mexi-
can Constitutionalists is hanging in
the balance.
This is the sentiment expressed by
members of President Wilson's cabi.
net.
Once regarded with favor as per-
sons who sought to restore constitu-
tional government to Mexico, the Con-
stitutionalists admittedly fallen into
disrepute.
Only a clear explanation of the kill
ing Of William Benton and the pursu.
ing of a Straightforward course in the
future, can restore to Carranza their
lost prestige, it is believed.
Furthermore, it is generally re-
ported that unless the killing of Ben.
ton is satisfactorily explained the Con-
stitutionalists can never hope to rule
Mexico, no matter what success they
may obtain against Huerta. In the alb
sence of such explanation, 1t Is almost
certain that Great Britain would refuse
to recognize Carranza even should he
be elected president. Also it is hinted
Great Britain might persuade other
nations to withhold recognition and II
is not impossible that the United
States might be one of those nations.
That Carranza is beginning to rea
lize this fact is believed here. AL
ready assurances have been received
from his friends that he is willing to
modify his announcement that he is
under no obligation to furnish the
United States with information about
Benton or any other foreigner.
Secretary Bryan received a note
from General Carranza, signed by Sc
nor Fabella, acting secretary Of for
eign affairs Of the cabinet of the Con
stitutionalists, assuring the American
government that the disappearance OF
Gustav Bavch, the German-American
will be promoptly investigated.
