Louisiana's Invitation

sisters. Boreas, when most furious,
stops in his maddened career, to pet
and woo her. She is rich in all and
holds out a generous and charitable
hand to the children of her poorer sis
tiers.
Louisiana has hundreds of banks,
national and state. They are sound
financial institutions, with ample
funds to take care of the growing and
gathering crops, the operating of her
manufacturing industries and her
commercial industries. For the promo
ton of new enterprises outside capt.
tai is largely depended upon.
Louisianians.
Of the typical population of Louis
ina, also a special mystery seems to
be made, but Louisianians have much
reason to be proud of their historical
descent. They have a history as au-
thentic and as valuable as the annals
of the Puritans of Massachusetts, or
that Of Catholic Maryland. The rear
ing of the states colonial structure by
one nation, and its blending into COL
onial dependence upon another, con-
tains no special mystery. They are a
hospitable, brave and generous people,
whether tracing their history back to
French Bienville or Laussat; to Span
ish O'Reilly or Salcedo, or to America
Claiborne.
That is the native state autonomy,
which, blended with English, Irish and
Scotch immigration, with the descend
ants Of the Cavalier and Huguenot
settlers from Virginia, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas,
make up the population of Louisiana.
A people exhibiting all those finer
traits which betoken the cultivation Of
noble traditions and refined associa-
tons, evidenced in the generous hospi-
tally, the chivalric spirit, the punctil-
ious courtesy, the knightly hand, the
Christian knee, the clean firesides and
the holy affairs cherished in the
hearts and homes Of as proud and
pure an aristocracy as the world has
ever known.
Area and Production.
Louisiana has nearly $4,000 square
miles Of territory, containing some
2S,OO0,OOO acres. OF this amount about
100000 acres are alluvial origin,
and the rest good upland. With proper
drainage and levee protection there is
very little Of the alluvial region that
cannot be cultivated. Thousands Of
acres Of so-called marsh and swamp
are being reclaimed and put into cul-

The hospitality of Louisiana is pro-
verbal, and she now stands with open
arms at her borders to welcome the
stranger. Nature is exceedingly boun-
tiful within her gates; agriculturist,
manufacturer or artisan will find
here what all men seek, "a festival Of
we'll requited labor" with genial eli
mate, an honest, sunny-tempered peo-
pie, and all the advantages Of Twen-
tieth Century civilization. Those who
have come to her in recent years
stand ready to testify in her behalf.
Louisiana's marvellous development
of the past ten years is but the fore
runner of a more marvellous develop
ment in the future. She invites you to
come and be a part Of this develop
ment. The 1910 United States census
report shows that capital invested in
farms yielded, in Louisiana, an income
Of q per cent annually on the in
vestment, and this, gentle stranger, is
10 per cent higher than the general
average for the whole United States.
Corn, cotton, sugar cane, rice, fruits
and berries, truck, forage crops, and
almost everything grown under the
sun, can be raised on her rich and re-
sponsive soil.
Louisiana's advance as a manufac-
turing state has been marvellous. In
1890 she was the sixth ranking manu-
featuring state in the South, and in
1900 she had jumped to second place.
Large and valuable deposits Of coal
in the northwestern part, and an un-
limited supply of fuel oil and gas in
the various parts of the state, are ad-
ditions to her mineral wealth, discov-
cred during recent years.
Situated in the heart of the raw
material district, with the richest soil
on earth, with cheap fuel-oil, coal
and gas-with nearly four thousand
miles of navigable streams and three
thousand miles of railways, with the
Panama Canal now completed, can
you have one lingering doubt Of Lou
isiana's future greatness and imper-
ial splendor? II this material side
appeals not to you, examine her aes-
thetic beauty. She has her throne
builded beneath the sunniest sky that
lights the globe, and her shores are
laved by the waters Of the great Gulf
of Mexico. She lives perfumed by the
choicest flowers, when bleak winters
chill has enclasped her more northern

have converted barren wastes into
rich, productive fields. The uplands
are almost all susceptible Of cultiva-
ton. OF her 28,0O0,00U acres, only
about 100000 are in cultivation.
Louisiana's Climate.
Its proximity to the Gulf Of Mexi-
CO secures a prevalence Of southern
winds, cool and moisture laden, which
mitigate the extremes Of weather ex-
perienced by the states Of the north.
Though our summers are prolonged,
the heat is never oppressive, the Their
thermometer rarely reaching 95 de-
grees.
The winters are usually mild, with
an average temperature of about So
degrees in the southern and As degrees
in the northern part of the state.
Above all other requirements for a
good climate, the differences between
summer heat and winter cold should
not be too great. Louisiana stands, in
this respect, almost at the head Of the
states. She is blessed with uniform
temperature.
Ice appears here but seldom, and
the climate of the entire state, from
October to May, is an ideal one, at
tractive alike to the invalid and tour
list, and thousands Of visitors from the
north are yearly seeking this state in
quest of health or enjoyment. The
hotels furnish attractive homes for
the opulent and fashionable, while
men Of moderate means can find cheap
and excellent homes in the smaller
hostelries and private boarding houses
of the city, in the towns and villages
scattered over this state.
Regarding the heat Of summer in
louisiana, there prevails in many
parts totally erroneous opinion. 1t
is believed that it must be warmer
here than in other states because
Louisiana is located further south.
Such reasoning is utterly false; liv-
ing in close proximity to the Mexican
Gulf, and having during the months
Of March, April, May, June, July and
August, almost constantly south
winds, we always have a cooling sea
breeze.
A White Mans Climate.
Another widespread error is the i'm
preston that a white man cannot
work in this climate during the sum-
mer, and that only the negro can
stand the heat, As far as the heat is
concerned, the truth has been stated
above; in regard to labor, it should be
said that there are certain people who
never can work, because they do no,
want to work-during the summer il
is too hot, and during the winter toe

cold for them, and they are willing to
believe that only the negro can stand
the heat.
Thousands of different nationalities
have performed labor in garden and
field for many years. They need no ne
groes, and feel so comfortable that
they prefer the summer to the winter
On extremely hot days they work in
the fields only during the morning and
afternoon hours, laying off, during
the midday heat, as they do in other
sections under similar Conditions.
Cases Of sunstroke are reported
from Northern and Western cities;
they occur here but seldom.
Rainfall.
The average yearly rainfall at New
Orleans is about 70 inches, decreasing
in quantity as one goes northward,
with 45 inches as an average in the
extreme northern portion. The heav-
lest showers fall in the summer, DUR
ing the growing season. Winter comes
next in its quantity Of rainfall, while
spring and autumn are our dry seas
ons, with only occasional showers.
Such seasons are conducive to the wei.
fare of our staple crops-corn, cotton,
sugar cane and rice; dry springs per-
hitting a successful planting and
cultivation Of these crops, and dry
autumns, so essential to the rapid and
economical harvesting of them. Our
regular rains are from the southwest,
yet in summer they sometimes come
from the northwest, and when they
do they are usually accompanied by
thunder and lightning.
Louisiana Queen Of the South.
| must now emphasize some of the
strong points of my native state,
Louisiana-the queen of the South.
Louisiana is unique in several par
ticulars. A large portion Of her sur
face is Of recent formation, caused BY
the rich sediments or the Mississippi
settling and making land as its rush.
ing floods commingle with the quiet
waters Of the Gulf. This makes her,
geologically speaking, the youngest Of
our states, and like, Benjamin, she &C.
cupies tender spot in her fathers
heart.
Louisiana has four great crops: Su-
gar, rice, cotton and corn. She easily
leads the union in the production Of
sugar and rice, and is a heavy produ-
Ger Of cotton and corn. Practically
every soil product and fruit Of the
temperate zone does we'll. Her gras-
ses and climate are admirably adapted
to animal industry; cattle, for beef
and dairying, horses, mules and sheep
thrive; and she is the natural home Of
the hog, which does exceptionally well.
