Two years Rapides Parish, in the State of
Louisiana, was carried by the Prohibitionists.
the saloons closed and the sale of liquor
stopped. The result, the Associated Press
dispatches say, was decrease of crime,
especially as regards homicides, fewer men
being killed in the course of a year than ever
before. Eut last week the prohibitionists
were caught mapping and the Parish was
carried for license. Last Saturday was the
day for opening the saloons, and also for the
election of delegates to local Democratic
convention. After months sof enforced alb
stinence," so the dispatches report, there
was much drinking. The net results of the
drinking so far are dead white man with
charge of buckshot in his body, and dead
negro with his head blown off. While the
deduction from this tragedy that prohibition
always means order and license murder is
far from correct, we would yet commend it
to those newspapers in other States that find

Bermuda grass will grow II set at any
time during the spring or early summer;
but March is the best month for the pur-
pose--just as the grass is springing into re-
newed growth. The quickest way is to pre-
pare the land by breaking broadcast, set
ting the pieces OF roots, or stems, in rows
three feet apart and giving it the benefit
OF one or two plowings. We have seen
the following plan successfully practiced
in Thomas county, Georgia: Sow the field
in small grain in fall or spring Imme-
diately after blowing the small grain lay
off burrows three feet apart with a scooter.
Let these burrows stand until March.
Now have the Burmuda stems chopped up
into pieces containing several joints each
and drop one piece every step, or three feet
along the row, treading on 1t with the foot.
After harvesting the grain, the Ber-
muda will almost or quite cover the
ground during the summer following, and
by next summer will form complete sod.
Some prefer to wash the roots, put them
through feed cutter, SOW broadcast and
plow in. When the old sod is plentiful
and convenient tho most certain way to
cut the thin sod into small two-inch
squares and drop them along the rows,
right side up; and press into the soil with
the foot. 1t has occurred to us that Bur.
muda grass may be successfully set in a
growing field OF cotton or corn, prgging
in with stick piece Of the roots along
the row of cotton or corn at intervals OF
three feet. This is to be done in May after
the cotton has been put to a stand.
Johnson grass is propagated in similar
way from roots, but the pieces OF roots
should be covered with earth about one OF
two inches, and the rows should he mar.
rover. II seed can DO procured SOW one
bushel TO the acre in September or October.
Another good way TO start Bermuda
pasture and greatly add TO its value is Ia
SOW The land In Burr cloyer-one bushel tc
the acre-not later than August, and then
| plant in Bermuda the next March. The
Burr clover may be sown at laying by Of
corn, and will come up in the fall, make q
good winter pasture and die in May aftei
maturing seed. II would be better, per
haps, TO get the Bermuda started first and
SOW the Burr clover seed on the Bermuds
any time in early summer. You will ther
have All all the year round pasture. The
