PLANS POPULAR IN LOUISE
ANA

New Orleans. lahore than ~
900 acres OF Louisiana farming land
has been offered to Blair Harrison,
chief OF rehabilitation Of the United
States veteran bureau for the Sixth
District. located at New Orleans as
result Of his announcement that the
bureau proposed to locate colonies Of
agriculturally inclined ex-service men
on the completion OF their training
One New Orleans bank president
offered to build a community for men
desiring to enter the sugar crop pro-
duction. and a New Orleans home
stead association has offered to H.
nance men who desire to open up
truck farming on five-acre farms they
are willing to throw open near the
city
The offer Of 10000 acres Of farm
ing land throughout the state came
to the bureau from some OF the larg'
est landowners who are enthusiastic,
not only for the colonization OF Lou
isianna with trained agricukurlsts
produced by the bureau. but are will
ling to undertake on liberal terms tho
colonization OF the state with agricul-
turists from other sources.
The large land owners indicated in
their communications with Mr.. Har.
rfson that they feel that what Louisi-
ana agricultural development needs Is
more people in the farming districts.
and marks the passing OF the planta-
ton idea OF farming to the small
farm.
L. M. Pool, president OF the Marine
Bank and Trust Company advised Mr..
Harrison that he stands willing to
construct a new farming community
on a large tract Of sugar land now
owned by him, and assist the OK
service men to get started in sugar
cane production through extended
payments for the land covering twen-
ty years il necessary, establishment
OF credit, erection Of homes, and pur-
chase OF farming implements In addi-
ton to that provided by the govern
ment in it's $500 allotment.
The local homestead association
which offered to develop five-acre
truck farms near New Orleans for
the men will Also assist the men In
the erection OF homes and extend the
payments over a long period OF time.
Another large owner OF land ad-
vised us he had $500 acres which he
was willing to assist the men in Gre
ating into paying farms" said Mr..
Harrison. This man advised US that
he is willing to establish store for
them, assist them in erecting their
homes and in paying for their prop
erty. Colonization seems to have hit
a popular chord in Louisiana"

Riordan. chairman of the Louisiana
tax commission. announced This
VIII show a decrease Of approximate
ly $163, 100000 as compared with last
year. when the total assessment for
the state was $1.718.2S6.902.
Chairman Riordan's figures are
based on official returns from all the
parishes except st. Charles. and the
estimate from that parish are CIV
en- in the total.
Two reasons are assigned for the
slump in assessments. One was the
general depreciation in property val
ues. due to the business depression
which affected the whole country.
The other was the large number of
exemptions granted by the constitu-
tional convention.
Although the drop in assessments
is heavy. the treasury is in remark
ably good condition and the state
will be able to meet all Of its obliga-
tons. This is because the appropria-
tons at the last session Of the Leg
islature were held down to the low
est limit, in anticipation OF a big de-
crease in assessments.
The Legislature followed the ad-
vice Of the tax commission and based
total assessment Of $500, 100000 for
1922. Returns show that the commits
sion was conservative and its fig
ures were nearly accurate.
