r Smoke billows from chimneys where once only cotton fields stood; the whir of machines is heard where once only the buzzing of bees and crickets disturbed the calm; and free men ride to work where once slaves sweated under the broiling sun. This is the New South young and eager in its bid for industrial competition with its sister regions. And Louisiana is keeping pace. The Esso Standard Oil Refinery in Louisiana is one of the largest and most complete in the world, while Kaiser ' s plant is the largest primary aluminum plant in the United States. Louisiana is the second ranking producer of carbon black in the nation, and leads in the production of paperboard and containerboard. Along with numerous other industries, Louisiana is making its greatest gains in this field.

Ifttei From the vast earth ' s treasure store man extracts and utilizes the wealth he finds. From the depths he gathers minerals, takes power from air and water currents, and builds with materials from the surface. The earth yields up her riches, and man creates from them the necessities and the luxuries of life. Such abundance of natural resources exists in Louisiana, a state generously endowed by Mother Nature. One of the most important resources is water, used for transportation and raw material. A reservoir of one-fifth the nation ' s oil resources is located in Northwest Louisiana, and there are further potentialities in the widely disputed tidelands area. In spite of this record, forest industries rank first in payrolls and profits in the state. Louisiana can supply the nation ' s salt needs almost indefinitely, and has the largest single sulphur deposit located in a quarter of a century. Strangely enough, Louisiana leads the nation in fur production, and is one of the more important suppliers of seafood.
