St. Tammany Farmer P. N. MASON, wditr E. D. ENTZ aaEer , * m a . Proprietors JAPANESE COLONIES IN LOUISIANA. The colonizing of Japanese farmers from California on Louisiana lands is meeting with considerable opposition, and in the discussion aris- ing, both for and against the proposition, it is comforting to note that the admissioh is made that the Louisiana farm lands are the finest to be found anywhere. The Japanese themselves admit this and deplore the opposition that may place obstacles *n the way of securing these lands. We all know that race problems are the most difficult of any to handle. There is a social obstacle that makes the Japanese settlement in Louisi- ana objectionable. Habits, tastes, consanquinity, prejudice, will all en- ter into the impossible proposition of making the Japanese a beneficial element in the upbuilding of Louis!ana. If these lands are so valuable and so productive, then surely they must soon be settled by capable and energetic farmers of the white race, fprming a natural and congenial element that may become co-operative in the uplift of the farmer in the further movement that is bound to come for united effort in protect- ing the interests of the farmer. The effort is being made all over the country to make the farmer's life I appier and more prosperous. The farmer himself must aid in this mcvement. If Louisiana fils her landt with Japanese, whict, she ultimately will do if this colonizing is allowed to get a foothold, she will dig her I rave politically and shut herself off from the prosperous states of the Union. Drudgery, cheap labor and horded savings will never help us, : nd any condition that encourages the establishment of distinct classes from which it is impossible to rise should not be bid for by Louisiana. Let George do it. Miss Louise Franz is the guest of Miss Alice Ostendorf this week. Mr. H. J. Ostendorf spent Thurs- day in Nwe Orleans on business.

JAPANESE COLONIES IN LOUISIANA.
The colonizing of Japanese farmers from California on Louisianalands is meeting with considerable opposition, and in the discussion aris-ing, both for and against the proposition, it is comforting to note thatthe admissioh is made that the Louisiana farm lands are the finest to befound anywhere. The Japanese themselves admit this and deplore theopposition that may place obstacles *n the way of securing these lands.We all know that race problems are the most difficult of any to handle.There is a social obstacle that makes the Japanese settlement in Louisi-ana objectionable. Habits, tastes, consanquinity, prejudice, will all en-ter into the impossible proposition of making the Japanese a beneficialelement in the upbuilding of Louis!ana. If these lands are so valuableand so productive, then surely they must soon be settled by capableand energetic farmers of the white race, fprming a natural and congenialelement that may become co-operative in the uplift of the farmer inthe further movement that is bound to come for united effort in protect-ing the interests of the farmer. The effort is being made all over thecountry to make the farmer's life I appier and more prosperous. Thefarmer himself must aid in this mcvement. If Louisiana fils her landtwith Japanese, whict, she ultimately will do if this colonizing is allowedto get a foothold, she will dig her I rave politically and shut herself offfrom the prosperous states of the Union. Drudgery, cheap labor andhorded savings will never help us, : nd any condition that encourages theestablishment of distinct classes from which it is impossible to riseshould not be bid for by Louisiana. Let George do it.

Total .. ............................... ...... ..... ...... .. •76,844.2sAs will bve fro the above re while the CovnaSton Bank & Trst Co.
carried only actill alf of the total deposits i• the parish (49% pe cent to beexact,), they carried 54 per cent of the loans, or x86,000 more than a11 the otherbanks combined.
This statement Is not made In a spirit of boasting, but rather to answer thecharge made by a few of our friends who say that our bank s toeo coservativeand will not loan its money. Being conservative does not prevent the loaning ofmoney. Peing conservative does protat the depositor. If a man has means tosecure a kan, he should not object to putting It up; if he has no security to put up,he should not expect ageqmmodation.
We would Just as soon make a good loan a sto receive a deposit. ' "
