LOUISIANA IS HELPED
BY THE BOLL WEEVIL
Nsw Orleans.—The progressive and
aggressive boll weevil has cut ((5,000.-
000 from the value of Louisiana’s cot
ton crop, the output falling from (60,-
000,000 to (16.000,000. But the state
will not lose.
Simultaneously and thru necessity
agricultural enterprise, encouraged by
government experts and enlarged recla
mation of marsh lands, has Increased
Louisiana's annual revenue from corn
production to nearly (65.000,000 in 1*10
from (4,000,000 or (6,000,000 a few years
ago. yet the corn Industry or the Peli
can state Is still In Its Infancy. Thus
the farmers of Louisiana, who two
years ago looked upon the Invasion of
the boll weevil os a curse, now regard
the little pest as a boon.
Several years ago Louisiana farmers
marketed 1,100,000 bales of cotton in n
single season. The average yield per
acre was less than half a bale, but on
the best lands a bale to an acre was
obtained. In those days eight cents
for middling was looked upon os a good
price, and (45 per bale, or (22.60 per
acre, was not to bo despised. In 1009
Louisiana produced only 2(0.000 bales.
Today the farmers on the reclaimed
lands of south Louisiana are getting
100 bushels of com per aero, which, at
66 cents per bushel, brings them In (66
per acre, or nearly three times as much
as the Louisiana cotton farmer got In
the palmiest days of cotton production
and on the best short staple land. Cora
farmers on the hill lands are not get
ting anything like 100 bushels to the
acre, but their yield per acre is in
creasing rapidly as a result of the edu
cational work carried on at Baton
Rouge by V. L. Roy. the United States
government corn expert, who Is teach
ing the old-time farmer how to grow
com by the new method.
In 1208. and In all previous years.
Louisiana farmers, particularly the cot
ton growers, bought most of the corn
needed to feed their stock from the
corn growers of Indiana, Illinois and
other states. Last year, for the llrst
time In Its history. Louisiana became
an exporter of corn. This year Louis
iana farmers will sell many million
bushels of corn, and next year the ex
cess of production over consumption In
Louisiana may amount to as much as
100.000.0*0 bushels.
TIMBER AND WATER ARE
SOUTH’S GREATEST ASSETS
Atlanta.—Gifford Plnchot, leader In
he great reforestation movement, who
-ms been In Atlanta In attendance at
the conservation congress, says that the
i South Is splendidly adapted for the re
production of forests, but that she has
i not yet come to realize the importance
i of the movement.
| "The South is far behind In many re
spects,” Mr. Plnchot said. “It Is true
| that It Is beginning to realize the good
: that would result from an extension of
the movement, but as yet only a small
beginning has been made.
“The South’s greatest assets.” Mr.
Plnchot continued, “are Its timber and
its splendid water powers. These are
the two things that she must look aft
er well In order that they may not pass
Into the control of a few outside peo
ple. In teaching conservation, we wish
to bring out the Idea of using all nat
ural resources to best advantage, just
as a housewife uses each and every
household article to bring about tbe
best conditions In the home.
"The South has not fought hard
enough for wbat It needs,” Mr. Pln-
i chot said, adding that he found It dltn-
'.cult to advance a new idea at a mo
ment's notice, as he had tried to cover
the situation thoroughly In his address
of tbe morning, which was splendid,
showing a thorough knowledge and
very genuine Interest In the great
movement.
Mr. Plnchot was voluble enough In
discussing conservation questions, but
on tbe subject of politics the pleasant
faced man remained discreetly silent.

church "preference " but fall to attend.
Church members who attempted to
take a religious census of tho city turn
ed in reports showing this condition to
-exist. Out and out denials of any re
ligious affiliation or interest were few
and far between. In general, every dis
trict of the city seemed prepared for
the visitors and census enumerators
experienced but little difficulty in se
curing the Information desired. Cer-
tan neighborhoods thought it a repeti
tion of the government tabulation car
ried on several months ago.
The great proportion of the popula
tion had read of the proposed religious
census in the newspapers, and were
prepared to give facts and figures.
Many householders had clipped the
tabular form from the newspapers and
had the blanks filled out when the
visitors arrived. Reports to the various
headquarters tonight and to the gen
eral headquarters In the down-town
district were to the effect that the
thousands of workers had been treated
with the greatest courtesy In the 1.600.-
000 homes they had visited. The rest- .
dcnco neighborhoods of Chicago were
canvassed with little difficulty. The

where boarding houses are frequent

TO PREPARE CORN LAND
Spartanburg, 8. C.—The competition
for tho prize of (260 which Is to be
given for the best acre of corn in
Spartanburg county Is Intense and there
are many contestants who are going
after this prize with their greatest ef
forts.
It Is Interesting to note that the two
contestants who have the best com. In
the opinion of those who are well post

methods and new ideas fin the cultiva
tion of their crops. '
There has been much said about the
field of corn belonging to J. H. Cald

corn on this land. It was literally blown
to pieces by the explosive and now as

estimated that he will make 200 bush-
on the one acre. This crop will be
gathered within a short time and the
harvest exhibited before the committee
who Is to award the prise.

she did not have the nerve. The hoist
ing rigging Included a bucket in which
she stepped and was shot to the top
of the giant stack. Reaching there, she
climbed out, and although a strong
wind was blowing, stood on the top and
waved to the friend and tbe workmen
on the ground.

top of the stack, which Is eleven feet
in diameter.' and descended without

N«w York.—It to estimated that be
tween 400 and 600 saloons In Greater
New York failed to open their doors
for business because of an Inability to
meet the stringent requirements of the
new excise law. which governs licenses
for the incoming year. The hiutus is
admittedly due to the cl«*an-up crusade
Inaugurated by Acting Mayor Mitchell.
In the majority of cases it Is said that
the saloonkeepers, because of this
moral upheaval, could not And bonding
companies willing to risk them under
the new provisions.
Borne of the places affected have been
the subjects of police comp!alnt alleg
ing violation of the excise laws during
the year, and others, because of a non.
ownership of the places conducted by
them, have been regarded all along as
undesirable patrons by the bonding
companies. Now that the police are be
coming so active In looking after viola
tions of this law. the bondsmen do not
