Advocates Americanization to Prevent
Newcomers from Falling Under

New York-Temporary modification
of the immigration laws to permit an
influx of desirable immigrants to meet
Americas labor shortage, was urged
here by United Staes Senator Walter
E. Edge of New Jersey in an address
before the National Manufacturers
association. He also advocated a pro-
cess Of Americanization to prevent
new immigrants from falling under the
spell of worldwide anarchists and
Bolshevists.'

In urging modification Of the immi-

not mean to "open the doors to an in
discriminate horde of newcomers"
and adding that undesirables must not
be admitted and that none shall be
permitted to become an undesirable

Tenderness for Reds Scored.
Moreover, against such undesir-

through, would apply every law for
deportation without the tenderness ap-

ministration."
America needs common labor In all
OF its industrial fields, Senator Edge
declared, adding that industries Of all
kinds are handicapped and in some in
stances almost crippled" by the short
age Of workers. He said that this was
mainly due to "the graduation Of, Gle
mental American workers to highe,

''UNBRIDLED DEMOCRACY"

DR.. Harry Burns Hutchens, retiring
president of the University of Michi-
gan, delivering the baccalaurate adj
dress of the seventy-sixth annual com
mencement Of the Michigan state UNI
iversity, sounded a note of warning to
the nearly 400 graduates against the
present day tendency to drift from the
style of government chosen for this
country by the founders, who intended
a representative republic. into a con-
dition of unbridled democracy.
His subject was Democracy Now:
What Next2" He warned against UNI
reserved acceptance of the doctrines
of the initiative. recall, and referend-
UNI.
Conceive, he said, what might be
the results if the initiative, the recall.
and the referendum were generally
adopted and should become the tools
of Red majority
Truly The OK knoweth his owner
and the ass his masters crib" DR..
Hutchins speaks for the profiteers who
support him. If democracy be not abb
solutely "unbridled. )" it is mock De

ever you mean by that, they will have
the power, as they have the right I'M

CORN COBS CONTAIN
VALUABLE PRODUCTS

The Department of Agriculture is
eliminating waste along many other
important lines, by discovering uses for
products that formerly served no use
full purpose. The most notable recent
illustration is that of corncobs. About
bushel Of cobs is produced for every
bushel of shelled corn, and they al
ways have been almost complete
waste.
During the past few months, chem
lists in the Department of Agriculture
have discovered that the entire content
of corn cobs can be converted into
highly useful products. Commercial
plants are now being equipped to man
ufacture half a dozen products from
them. One Of these products is an adj
hesive of exceptionally high quality
Another is cellulose, suitable for use in
the manufacture of dynamite and var
ious other things. We have made very
good paper, using a part Of the corn
cob as filler. Another product that the
plants will turn out from cobs is ace
tate of lime, from which acetic acid
is made.
And after all these things had been
demonstrated, our chemists discovered
a very valuable by-product-furfural.
Up to this time, furfural has been so
rare that it has sold as high as $40 a
pound. Every ton Of corn cobs will
yield about 30 pounds of furfural as
a by-prduct, and our specialists esti-
mate that it can be manufactured in
this wey for less than 20 cents pound
Furfural is what the chemists call
basic Intermediary in dyes. 1t is useful
in the manufacture Of many paints and
lacquers and in the making of bako-
lite, the substance used in pipe stems
and other articles. Furfural is also
such an excellent insecticide that it has
been much used for that purpose. even
though the price was $40 pound. So
the corn cob, instead Of being a dead
waste, is likely to become a commod-
ity on the market.

NEW CARS WILL SAVE
VEGETABLE LOSS

Multiplied millions Of dollars worth
of fruits and vegetables rot every year
in railroad cars. In two months last
winter, 100000 worth of apples
from the Pacific Northwest were froz-
en- in transit. Losses from heat are
just about as heavy as those from cold.
A new type of refrigerator car was de-
signed by Department specialists. 1t
was so efficient that the Railroad Ad-
ministration adopted it as a standard.
Practically all refrigerator cars built or
rebuilt in the United States during the
past two years are built in accordance
with those specifications. Efforts are
now being made to perfect means for
heating the standard refrigerator car
in cold weather. Specifications to COW
er this have been worked out and were
adopted by the Railroad Administra-
ton.
Losses caused by improper loading
and packing Of fruits and vegetables
frequently run as high as 40 to SO per
cent of the car load. Specifications
for loading cars with certain fruits and
vegetables have been worked out by
the Department: There has not yet
been opportunity for checking up on
all of them in operation. but we have
checked up on potatoes, which frmer-
ly suffered very severely.

Only those who have travelled over
Western Louisiana can have any idea
Of the enormous wastes of cut-over-
lands. the undeveloped, unused piney
Highlands from which the timbered
wealth has already been taken.
Here is the new goal Of the ambi-
tious homeseeker. Here are the only
cheap lands left in the United States.
Emigration has passed it by. Exploit
alton Of its resources through advertis-
ing is unknown. Few have an idea
Of is possibilities, Of the vast poten-
tialities Of region CHIEFLY known as
a place Of turpentine. naval stores,
and lumber.
Only IN recent years has some slight
attempt been made to direct attention
to the opportunities Of the South With
much more to offer than has many
parts Of California and the West, il has
failed to attract homeseekers, while
the states which have made temseives
known have become rich and produc-
tive because they have brought to
their idle lands the northern farmers
and eastern farmers who sought new
locations.
The Highland region, particularly,
should attract the men of the North
who desire to escape the rigars Of the
winters. The healthfulness of this
well-drained section answers the OBJ
lection most frequently urged. The
abundance of fuel makes the we'll
wooded Louisiana parishes particular
" desirable. The long growing season
and the comparative ease with which
good living may be secured are addi-
tional points favoring the selection Of
West Louisiana Highlands.
With the lumber fast being cut from
the hills, and with the assessibIe vail
ne Of the land rapidly going lower in
the face Of Obnormally increasing ex-
penses, the parishes which have here
tofore been great lumber producers
must cast about for other occupations
The possibilities Of oil are unknown.
Other minerals are not likely to exist
here or to be commercially valuable
at least. There remains only farming
as a source Of income. and all energies
must be diverted't to this end. A new
era is coming to this portion Of Louis
lana, and it is time that those who
claim to be far-seeing should bend
their efforts toward hurrying the com
ing Of the new day.
Interest in farming must be intensi-
fred. Increased production must be
fastened. Then will come emporium
tiles. Then will come demand for
Southern land. If Vernon Parish and
the other parishes Of West Louisiana
are prepared. they will share in this
prosperity. IF they are not, they viii
gain only such share as falls to their
lot after the more enterprising parish

SIS, OOO,O 900 SWEET POTATOES
WASTED LAST YEAR

Our department of agriculture is for
making the business of farming more
profitable by making production and
marketing more efficient and econom-
ical.
twenty-five million dollars worth of
sweet potatoes were wasted in 1912.
One hundred million bushels of sweet
potatoes rotted instead of being eaten.
They rotted because they were put on
the ground in small heaps and covered
with dirt, instead of being stored in
properly constructed warehouses. Spe-
cialists Of the Department of Agricul-
ture developed storage house that re-
duced the loss when used from SO to
2 per cent. More than 900 such stor-
age houses recommended by the Blu
reau Of Markets were created, enough
to take care of about 9 per cent Of the
sweet potatoes stored every year. Then
we had practically to discontinue the
educational campaign because our APP
preparations were decreased to such an
extent that we had no money for the
purpose.
From $5O.0OO.OOO to $75,OOO.OO0
is lost every year because baled cotton
is left out in the weather instead of be-
ing put in properly regulated storage
houses. Tests made by the Depart
ment have shown losses by exposing
cotton to the weather ranging as high
as $I00.48 a bale. and the lowest
shown was $3.50 bale. The Depart
