Louisiana is an agricultural state !
because it depends mostly on agri-
culture. Sugar cane can be grown
here and cannot be grown in many
other states. Corn is one Of our |
great crops. Cotton is our greatest !

duction we must know how to work |

to know what they can do to their
crops to increase them. The place
where they are taught is called an
agricultural college. Louisiana needs
an agricultural college to teach her
men in agriculture. We have a col
lege, but it is not sufficient. We
must have a greater one.

come chemists go to other states to

COTTON DEVELOPS
EXTREME NERVOUSNESS

New York, March 24-The cotton
market was extremely nervous and un-
settled owing to a sensational break
in March contracts at the opening to-
day The first sale Of that delivery was
at 4l.40c, and the second At. 4O.25c,
making a net decline of 255 points and
a break of 293 points from yesterday
high level Only one notice was issued,
but 1t looked as though shorts had COW
cred on yesterdays advance, and the
weakness of the spot month led to
liquidation OF later deliveries. The
opening was II points lower to points
higher, except for March, and the more
active positions sold about 20 to 80
points under last nights closing dur
Ing the early trading,
The favorable weather map and rela-
lively easy cables probably promoted
some selling for a reaction as well as
realizing during the first hour. May
contracts sold off to 3S.10c. and Octo-
Der to 32.05c, or AZ to so points below
last nights closing figures after which
prices steadied on covering. Trading
became quiet on rallies Of lS or 20
points from the lowest. with active
months ruling about % to q points net
lower around midday. Liverpool re-
ported receipt Of advices there from
RoubaiX, France, stating that a gem
eral strike had been threatened for
March 26 unless labor disputes in the
textile industry were settled mean
while.
The midday rallies OF Soma 20 to rs
points brought out renewed liquidation,
and selling became more general dur
ing the middle Of the afternoon. March
contracts sold off to 4Oc, or 200 points
net lower, while May broke to 37S0c,

ing opened the trading in cotton today,
and in the first half hour of business
prices fell 81 to 80 points, May landing
at 37.50c and October at 3197c. May
was the weakest month in the list. The
bulk of the offerings seemed to arise
from the unfavorable opinion held of
the situation in Germany, but the
weather map was dry and warm, eX
cept for light rains in Texas where
they were needed, and some of the
pressure was due to it.
