High Tariff Discussed
In addition, a high tariff also

importations from America, either
by laying duties or by passing
yexatious inspection laws. Thus.
expectation from our country will
suffer, should another nation re-
taliate with taxes upon ourfpro-
ducts to them.
South America b as already eX-
pressed her indignation against
our latest tariff bill. The effect II
has upon her is reason itself for
seriously disfavoring our proce-
tduree when we find that she has a
total trade of nearly one billion
dollars of which at present we do
not get one fourth. England Is
possibly the foremost exponent OF
free trade. She imposes a duty
upon only one import, -four, for
the sake of encouraging its pro-
duction in her nation.
Foodstuffs and cotton are the
main items in the exports from this
country to Great Britain. Cotton
exports are valued at about $500.

Therefore should she retaliate with
a high tariff, the result, easily so-e
seen, would be decidedly detrimen
tai to extensive American ccTI
merce.
We must, in the light of all his
discourage high tariff and encour
age free trade il we wish to bette;
our commercial interests.
Now that a definite policy CT
commercial extension has been es
tablished, it is wise thingsto think
of prospective new markets. Al
most all nations of the world Offer
markets for some of our products
but some offer greater oppo-tuEf
ties than do others.
Perhaps one of the best and on:
that has until recently been oyei.
looked, is the Dutch East Indies
These islands are very denTe1y
populated, Java alone having q
population of thirty million.
There is a tremen dous demand
for coal. manufactured goods an !
fertilizers. which is met by Aus
tralia and Japan. Java in retnr1
producers sugar, coffee, tobacco
rice, cinchona bark and auin.re.
All; OF these products are necessi

says:
according to the figures printed

1873 the imports into Togoland
were valued at five hundred-tbirty
one million pounds. the exports at
four hundred fifty-sfx million
/ pounds. converted into dollars that
would make nifty addition to our

! a few possible markets. Neverthe-
less, it shows that much import

In conclusion, present day condi-
| tions, though not up to the stand
4 ard, indicate that we are at the
! dawn of a new era. Much has been
accomplished but much remains to
| be done.
This is especially true along the.
lines of commercial extension
1 Though there have been taken,
from the vast amount of literature
on the subject, only a few incom-
plete and perhaps not new thought
relative to our commercial prob

man have there been SO many
things to be done. We must work

PRIZES AWARDED BOYS
FOR. FORESTRY WORK

Commissioned Alexander of the Lou
isiana Conservation, Department, has
announced the winners of prizes in the
contests OF the Boys demonstration
Clubs of Louisiana. The cash amount
of the prizes, exclusive of the awards
made by separate parishes, was $500,
the money being donated by the Great
Southern ,Bamber Company of B0ga-
1usa. The judging was done by v, H.
Sonderegger, superintendent of the
forestry division Of the department.
and by H. j. Stahl, who had supervis-
ion of the various classes and clubs.
During the first half Of the year
there were enrolled in the clubs, 664
boys in. all sections of the State. The
clubs were organized after the manner
Of the boys hog and corn clubs and
are meeting with equal success. Some
OF the tracts Of forest under the con.
troll OF these boys and inspected by
the judges were considered equal to
the forestry reserves under the control
of the experts OF TIE Federal govern
ment. Each boy kept record of the
work performed on his plot from one
TO three acres of second growth pine
or hardwood Other boys took plots
that were partially seeded or barren
and either planted the seed or trans
planted seedlings in their areas. thus
perfecting real demonstration.

that are appearing in many sections
of the State. Even within the city
limits of New Orleans they are being
observed in numbers in City Park and
all along the course Of Bayou st. John
from Esplanade street to Spanish
Fort. These robins are so tame that
one may approach within a. few feet OF
them, showing they have not been
shot at. On the ether hand, recent
visitor to Terrebonne parish noted the
presence of thousands of robins along
Bayou Black in the vicinity of Gibson,
but these birds are unusually wild,
keeping well out of shotgun distance
Of man. The killing of robins is vio-
lation Of both State and Federal laws
and heavy penalty for their killing Is
provided under the Federal statute.

GAINESVILLE OIL FIELD
GIVES GTEAT PROMISE

One Of the most promising oil fields
in the South, and certainly the best
protected of the wealth producers Of
the section, is the Haynesville field In
Claiborne parish. Both the Louisiana
Department of Conservation; and the
operators are trying TO maintain this
high standard for the development of
the oil pool-the department, through
Commissioner Alexander, by making
regulations as to operations and by erA
forcing these operations. and the oper.
ators by reaching agreements among
themselves to prevent the wastefuI
depletion of the deposit.
There were in operation at the last
report 122 producing wells. with
total production OF 60.053 barrels of oil
q day, with eighteen additional idle
wells and two abandoned outfits. Fig
ures compiled by the Conservation De-
partment February |. showed the fol.
lowing: Pumping wells, 81; with a
production Of 1903 barrels daily;
flowing wells. 81; production $3.50
barrels; swabbing wells, A. produc.
ton, 1860. The amount OF water
flowing out with the oil is but a little
over 1000 barrels daily, or an average
Of IS barrels per well-less than 4 per
cent Of the flow. This keeping out OF
water shows the unusual care that has
been taken in the operation Of the
wells, and the entire water flow has
been confined to the southern border
OF the field. OF the 1872 producing
wells only one is making all water.
and its capacity is but $50 barrels
daily.
The proven oil field OF the Haynes.
vile deposit covers $3.50 acres only.
and there are yet to be drilled in this
territory over 400 wells. The wells yet
to be drilled will be on the higher por.
lions of the structure an dtheir pro
auction will, therefore. average high.
Hence the prospect is very rosy, and
the future Of the field is regarded by
biologists and engineers as assured.
