Editor Jones. of the Baton Rouge Advocate finds somethino radically wrong with our agri. cultural affairs. He save: "We may talk about scientific farming and diversified crops; we may teach agriculture and scatter fertilizers all over the State, but until the Louisiana farmer has his smoke house and crib on his own plantation Lou isiana farming is doomed to fail ure. If the smoke house and corn crib remain located in the west, the title to the farm is most likely to be in name of "John Smith & Company, commission merchants and furnishers of sup plies." S"Right here to-day, every furn isher of supplies and wholesale grocery house in this city is re ceiving car loads upon car loads of corn, meat and hay for use of our farmers. "A single, new small store sold three hundred sacks of western corn in a ingle day in the early part of the week and could have sold as much more if he had been fortunate enough to have it on hand. What we don't know about farmihg would fill an ag ricultural library, but there are some patent business facts that even a newspaper man, though a fools ca sn.e and appreciate. Corn will. ell in the local market along..b. the close of the year at frpun,40 t,60 cents a barrel, and a few months later,; local farmers will pay freight from the west and dodble the price of the same article. "Our commission merchants are growing rich on the profits of corn and salt ineat they sell to the planters of the parish and dis trict. Cotton may vary in price, and sugar may go into the trust, but mules and men will require meal and meat as sure as fate, and yet cotton and sugar will be raised in. abundance while meal, meat and hay will be supplied by Yan kee farmers. It seems strange, but it is none the less true, that all will admit the truth of the foregoing argunent while few, if any, will prfit By it. "One of the first lessons to teach in agriculture is to buy nothing that can be raised at home. Until tlis lesson is well learned, science miht as well go a-fishing." ACCUSED OP TIBASON. The president has bow found out that the lot of an honorary member of labor organization is not to be desired. On his weq tern tour he congratulated a train crew and spoke of his being an honorary member o the Broth erhood of Locomotive Fireman, and was snubbed, as: the men were non-union. Now ,e has been denounced as a traitor, on account of that samie membership, by the Western Federation of Miners, for ordering federal troops to quell a disturbance at Morency, Arizona. The resolu tions charge that as member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the president by his action has been guilty of treason to the principals of organized labor. The resolutions appeal to the toilers of the nation''to array themselves on the political battle ground in 1904 and usa the fran ciise of citizenship to overthrow atthe ballot box a system that demands Tor its maintenance and perpetuation the murderous implement of barbarism."
