Holden's Advice in Messages of Perry G. Holden to the the Sleaple of Louisiana: he I have just this to say to the people an of Louisiana: A.l' along the line I have ne been telling the farmers and business foi men of Arkansas and Louisiana that ial they are raising too fine a crop of tin th cans. When you buy a million dollars worth of Iowa hogs and lard and condensed Br milk Iowa gets your million dollars and th you get the hogs. When you eat the B lard and pork you have neither the money nor the hogs. is You must remember that every mil- ra lion dollars wlhch is sent to make the p Iowa farmers richer would mean two ar millions to improve Louisiana if kept a at home. Don't ship o:t your grain du and hay. Fcee it to your animals and ad make your own n:e:.t. Translate your tI belief into a t'on and results. Remem- of ber that Ihb interest of the farmer is the interest of the citizen:s at large; re. member that where corn is king land values are high, crops are 'diversified, al and there is stockraising, dairying and I of general prosperity. A one-crop system fe of azricult'ure is always vicious, ani w results ultimately in poor land and an al amn'itionless people. in Don't guess, but test all your scel; plant only vital see:l. Prepare the groun:l properly for it and you will V surely reap t: e reward. Louisiana , hculd grow one hundred million bushels of corn for 1914, and an ever-increasing yearly yield until the State becomes the greatest corn pro ducer in the Union. t I note with pleasure the keener and t( more general interest being taken in h agricultural progress. One. of the ci greatest needs of Louisiana is to get o rid of its water. There are six million e acres of rich corn lhis which could be t brought unler cultivation if drained. t Urge your CongressTnen to support the d New~t:n Is -bill, which will provide fundS a if enacted, to drain and reclaim the wet 11 lands and prevent future overflows. c Let your motto be: "This day and t year we w il beat our own record." ¬ Expert N u r s e r y m an Thniks Welsh Ideal Orange Section, D. W. Gritlng, of Port Arthur, Texas representing the GriftIng Brothers Nursery of Port Arthur, Texas and, Jacksonville, Florida; was a Welsh visitor Tuesday and Wednesdaiy. W'hile here he went out to see the C E. Smith Orange groves near Woodlwn. Mr. Grifing, who is familiar with orange culture along the entire length of the Gulf Coast expressed great sur prise and pleasure at the splendid showing Mr. Smith's orange trees are making. While this grove is only about three years sid, he estimates that it will yield at least $2,000 worth of fruit this season. In discussing the . matter, Mr, GrifBng expressed himself as believing that this section has a s;: plendld future ahead of it as an orange and citrus fruit belt. The Polk County (Texas) Enterprise gt rives some good and wholesome advise la the following paragraph that is as applicable to the farmers of this locality as to those of eastern Texas, and could be heeded with as much profit, no doubt: '"here were at least twenty farmers in LUvingston9aturday S: buying meat and teedstht. One of the / greatest mistakes a farmer can make i~ to fail to raise enough hogs, corn andi other feed stuff to run him through Sthe year, and it o the failure to raise :these these things that has kept the th~itmWa generally in east Texas from pirospermtng athey do tin -other sections a~he state.

Je da be 'elsh Inventor Devises Scheme to For Burning Coal Oil In Gas- mi oline Engine. JE n tic e Mr. M. B. VanNess, the well known Machine Shop man and practical inven tor, of this place has devised a genera- li d tor for his gasoline engine that enables n him to run the same on coal oil, a much hý e cheaper fuel, equally as well as it runs sr it on gasoline. This invention consists w n essentially of a hector through which ti e the coal oil is passed, and is heated by to I. the exhaust of the engine to such a or e degree that it is readily converted into to a combustible gas when mixed with the ýt hot air also drawn through this heated chamber. Mr. VanNess states that a fi' Id barrel of coal oil costing 8 cents per o0 gallon, will do about one fifth moe S work when used in connection with his , generator, than a barrel of gasoline, sl s costing 18 cents per gallon will do. He a is installing one or two of these gener- P ators for planters who have gasoline 1, Sengines here. If they work as well as g rs hMr. VanNess anticipates there is little P doubt that they will be a great saving Sh of fuel for the users of gasoline engines y in this section of the country.
