RRAZIL'S future economic power
lies in the greatness of her re-
sources as yet untouched and uneX-
plotted. Her present production of
world staples represents but small
proportion of the attainable produc-
ton.
FER known mineral resources have
limitless possibilities, particularly
as many are accessible to water trans
portation. Her cotton yield is but
fraction Of it's possibilities, there being
comparatively little of the available
cotton land under cultivation. The
Brazilian Government is making an
energetic effort to develop agriculture,
factories and transportation and has
sincerely sought the lead and assistance
Of the United States.

joy special privileges and American
money invested in Brazil is money in

SOUTH AMERICA
American Investors
Should Know About Brazil

THE present economic strength OF
the United States of Brazil is in
dicated by the following facts:
A S a producer Of two of the most es-
sential staples, rubber and coffee,
she ranks first among the nations of
the world. Brazil is second only to the
Gold Coast of Africa in the worlds pro-
duction of cocoa. Brazil ranks third as
an exporter of tobacco and fourth as to
the number of her cattle available for
food. Brazil stands sixth as producer
of raw cotton and seventh as a pro.
ducer of cane sugar
RRAZ1L ranks second among the
countries of South America in
her manufacturing industries and in
the mileage of her railroads. Her mile
age of navigable rivers exceeds that of
all other countries. Her area exceeds
that of all countries except Russia,
China and Canada.
THE above facts concerning BraziPS
present economic strength are not
fully appreciated by American invest
tors, nor are the tremendous future
possibilities of this rich but undevel-
oped country fully grasped by the
American business public. w

SHEEP DEMONSTRATION.

Baton Rouge, March %, 1919.
To the Local Club Agent:
Dear Sir:-AlloW me to call your
especial attention to our Circular
Letter No. 1877, dated March 10.
There is no doubt that the farm
ers of this state should prevent late
dropped lambs This Office is offer
ing cooperation early this year in
securing rams that we have reason
to believe will prove vigorous and re-
liable. The control Of lamb losses
lies along the line of early lambing
and sale before the hot summer
months.
1t is advisable that you recommend
the culling of fiocks and the discard
ing of weak, agey and apparently un-
healthy individuals. These scrubs
become the host for innumerable
parasites and serve to contaminate
the range. Non-descript floeks COM
posed of surplus rams, old broken
mouthed ewes and dried up car
casses shot to pieces" by parasites
should be worked over and cut down
to a productive basis.
We shall be able to give you a
demonstration in culling a flock if
you get the cooperation of some
farmer who wishes to put his sheep
on thorough going basis and elimi-
nate the unhealthy and improbable
end of his flock. The reason why
mortality is SO great in Louisiana
sheep flocks is because farmers con-
stant1y are carrying lot of cults that
should have been sorted out and dis
posed of before they had time to
demoralize the flock.
Yours very truly,
G. P. WILLIAMS,
Extension Sheep Husbandman.
l have asked Mr.. Williams to come
to penning one day next week. All
those who desire to attend may learn
the exact date by writing, phoning
or calling on me. The exact date
and place have not been decided up
on yet. There is a move on in this
parish to order car load of good
rams.
In addition to culling the flock
Mr.. Williams will give demonstra-
ton in docking and castrating.

Club Agent.

TREEN'S LETTER
TO FARMERS

Mail samples in bags or other con-
tainers that will not break and spill
the seed. Address all samples to
Seed Laboratory, College Station,
Texas. Any samples sent will have
immediate attention.
Very truly,
A. B. CONNER,
Collaboration in Charge.
We can't afford to cultivate a
"skippy" crop, which may result
from planting poor seed. We can't
afford to run the risk of infesting our
land with dangerous weeds and
grasses by planting seed we buy that
have these foreign seed in it.
The local Club Agent wanted to
order some Lespedeza seed for farm
ers this spring. Samples were sent
for from several people who offered
the seed for sale. These samples
were forwarded to the seed testing
laboratory. The following figures
will show the result of two tests.
The seed looked good, but the test
revealed how many bad seed there
were. These seed, many of them,
are too small or too near like lespe-
deza seed to be detected with the
naked eye. Following is the test:

VETERAN RUNNER
 EAGER FOR RACE

George Taylor, veteran of the cindered path, who has wrested honors from runners of note in nearly every state in the Union and who, though outlawed by age, has kept to the fore in track events dur ing the many years he has resided in the North, is trying to arrange a little excitement for the Fourth of July celebration in Nenana. He is willing to run anybody, old or young, and is not particular about the distance, anything from a few rods to a score of miles being ac- ceptable.
 The oldtimer prefers, however, to arrange a race with the boys of Nenana, his foremost proposition being that any four of Nenana' s youthful sprinters, under sixteen, whites or natives, try conclusions with him over a mile course, or longer, the boys to relay the dis tance while he covers the entire course unassisted.
 Taylor wants to run and he is ready to talk race on almost any kind of terms, just for the sake of putting a little pep into local field events and adding interest to the celebration. He will run for fun, firecrackers or funeral expenses, anything to get up a race.
 Taylor is 61 years of age.
