60 SOUTH YOUNG MAN;
, SO TO LOUISIANA
Long Warm Growing Season, With
Ample Supply of Moisture Produce
Thoroughly Matured Corn.
Louisiana is a good land in which to
make a home and one of the best
countries in which to make money
farming. Lousiana has not thousands
but millions of fertile acres that, well
farmed, will yield 75 to 100 bushels of
corn an acre.
In Louisiana the. long' warm growing
season and the always ample supply of
moisture produce thoroughly matured
corn that is dry enough to ship as soon
as gathered. The nearness to the sea.
board raises the price to the grower 10
cents a bushel over that received in the
Northern corn belt.
Louisiana has never had a failure
from drougth. The growing season is
so long, the bottom lands so rich and
the rainfall so bountiful that two pay
ing crops can be grown every season--
one of them a crop of corn.
Peaches, pears, berries, grapes and I
melons yield well in Louisiana. The
gardens produce vegetables nine
to twelve months every year, and it is
one of the best states in which to grow
pecans and other nuts. Strawberries
from March to September.
Hogs will return $50 an acre a year
on the cheapest upland in Louisiana 4
and gather the crops themselves.
Dairy cows can be pastured at least a
eleven months in the year. Alfalfa
yields six cuttings a season and the
I yield of ensilage corn is large. New
I Orleans is obliged to buy six million
s dollars worth of butter a year from
other states.
Roses bloom in February in Louisi
r siana and the Gulf breezes make it
B cooler in midsummer than on the
Northern borber of the North's corn
belt. Your wife and children can stay
out of doors hours every day in the
year. You can sleep with the windows
and doors open wide every winter night
k and enjoy a seat almost every winter
evening on your front porch. This
means health and comfort.
s Louisiana is the second greatest
h state in lumber production and build
y ings can be erected for half of what
d they would cost in the Northern corn
belt.
e There is great fishing in Louisiana,
c both in fresh and salt waters. Bear,
1. deer, wild turkey, and duck and other
game birds are plentiful in the wild
lands. Hunting after the crops are
harvested is great sport.
le The people of Louisiana will give you '
a cordial welcome. They need and
d want a million energetic expert h-Nort
ern corn and live stock growers. They
are well bred. hospitable, generous and
" neighborly people. You will like them
they will like you.
