Ten farmers from Iowa, .Ne
braska and Kansas were the
guest of the Hrooks-Scanlon
Lumber Company of Kentwood,
La., at a banquet Saturday even
ing in the Monleleone hotel. They
are the latest purchasers of cut
over lands in Tangipahoa parish,
which the lumber company is
selling. In this parly, a record
was established in that all of the
visitors purchased land.
During the last six months the
company has sold more than 10,
000 acres of I heir holdings. Sixty
homesteaders are now located on
the property. This number will
be greatly increased during the
coming year, as more than 300 of
the purchasers are adjusting their
business at home preparatory to
moving to Tangipahoa.
I'he party, which arrived in
the city Saturday afternoon, was
under the charge of C. 11. McNie.

O. Wild, editor of the Oulf
States Farmer, who acted as
oastmaster.
Mr. Wild welcomed the fanners
Louisiana, and told them of
e agricultural possiunuies oi
the soil of Tangipahoa parish. As
most of the homesteaders are
growers oi corn, :ir. wnu con-
lined his remarks principally to
the growing of corn in this slate
E. O. I'.rown, state comniission-
r oi agriculture, proved ny
statistics that Louisiana as an
igricultural slate is the equal of
n v in the Union.
Louisiana has the greatest
iodv of alluvial land m the I nu
ll Slates." said Mr. Brunei. "The
state comprises -.'8, 000,000 acres,
f which amount 5,0(10,000 are
under cultivation. Mie annually
produces crops which are valued
100,000,0110. She produces
') per cent of the cane sugar of
the country, and more rice than
niv other slate. Iu addition to
iving I he greatest area of long
leal pine in ine country, i.ouis-
ana has the largest sulphur
mines oi I lie world and ine grcai-
t deposit of pure rock salt in
e Western Hemisphere.
"fn speaking of raising corn,
vour corn raisers should Know
that in Louisiana some boys have
ached 100 bushels to the acre,
while many others have averaged
"(l bushels. I don't think you
in find a slate where more corn
i raised to the acre than in
.ouisiana.
"You are moving into the most
productive part of Louisiana. The
eporls made by the assessor of
Tangipahoa parish to the state
board of agriculture last year
bowed that 1,035 carloads of
strawberries were shipped, be
sides hundreds of carloads of
miscellaneous vegetables. The
eceipts of Tangipahoa growers
last year were $1,200,000 for
I rawberries alone."
O. W. Crawford, who was in
troduced as "the pioneer of the
and business in Louisiana," told
the farmers that when they came
o Louisiana they were not com
ing to a new country. no saiu
thai in 1850 there were more
farms in this state than in
Arkansas, Texas, Indian Ter
itory, Nebraska, Missouri or
Iowa. To prove that the slate is
one where ine soil can he culti
vated at a profit, Mr. Crawford
asked the farmers if lliev had

ing away lrom his state to hoy a
farm or enter any commercial
business. No one had.

DAY OFTHE MONTH, A HODQO?
From Friday's Dally.
Today was certainly a combina
tion of the hoodo numbers, as it
is Friday, the 13th of the month,
of the year 1913, and those who
have not provided themselves
with rabbit's feet, four-leaf
clovers aiid horeshoes or other
similar articles to preserve their
luck are very leary about ventur
ing out on the street or traveling,
as with such a horrible combina
tion of thirteen there is no tell
ing what might happen to the un
wary. There was not much do
ing around the court house today,
as the would-be . brides and
grooms, as well as parties seek
ing relief from the law, evidently
did not intend running anv
! chances on going up against the
thirteen and Friday combination.
