Lespedeza.

We referred to this excellent grass last
week. suggesting that our farmers should
give it u trial. At meeting Of the Central
Louisiana Agricultural Association held last
week at Baton Rouge, the subject for discus
sion was "Lespedeza as Haying Crop IN all
its Phases which goes to show that great
minds often run in the same grooves. we
append the account of the interesting dis
cussion of the subject given by the Baton
Rouge Truth
Mr.. MeQuade stated that he was just COM
meneing the cultivation of Lespedeza, ana
found that it made an excellent hay enrich
ed his ground and prevented ib washing
Three years ago he planted one bushel OF seed
on a small tract of land that had been first
fertilized and planted in Irish potatoes Inc
potatoes rotted in the ground and he then
planted the Lespedeza. This year he pioWed
up portion of this plat and planted corn:
Alongside this patch he fertilized piece OF
land with 1000 pounds Of manure to the acre,
and the yield from the Lespedeza plat
was great deal better than from that which
had been fertilized this year
Mai. Knowlton stated that his experience
with Lespedeza was that it should be ploWed
with disc harrow each year, and thaG the
weeds should be moved down twice during
the season to oallow it to grow. He found 1t
profitable crop.
DR. Patterson stated that he had small
match of Lespedeza that had grown without
the soil being stirred for three successive
wears, That this year it was killed down by
the late FROST but that sufficient amount oi
seed must have remained that had not germl
mated, as a second crop had come up. which
was growing luxuriantiy.
DR.. Stubbs stated that the first known o1
Lespedeza in this country was the discovery
OF some seed in box. of tea shipped from
Japan to a gentleman in Charleston, 3. z.
which he planted, and from those seed has
originated the Lespedeza crop of the dInitec
States, which is also known as the Japan OIL
Sherman clover. He said that it grew lnxu
| riantly in Georgia, Alabama and Eastern Vir
| ginia, in wild state, and was of great benefit
to the range cattle of the poor people. That
| in chemical analysis it was exceedingly rich
ranking next to red clover. That it shoult
| be partially cured in the sun and then placed
under a shed, or interlayed with miliet o.
other forage crops. He said that the soil o
| East Baton Rouge, East and West Feiieians
was specially adapted to the raising of thi
crop, and it should be made very profitable.
/ DR.. Patterson stated that he had 25 acre
| in crab grass hay which had given splendi'
! yield. He has cut two tons per acre from il
and last year sold hay from this plat at 81
/ per ton. He would sell hay in Baton Rong'
! this year.
Mr. J.. L. Bernard said that he had Gu
eight tons Of johnson grass per acre in f0u
cuttings this year, and would get anOthe
cutting, and that he sold this hay in Bato
Rouge at $i0per ton.

Tell the Truth
Baton Rouge Advocate.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The peopla of Louisiana want the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth or at least that is what they
ought to want, in regard to the progress
of education in the State The dodging of
some newspapers and politicians which has
lately been done to hide the, truth, is little
less than crime against human progress and
civilization. The State is going backward in
intelligence, and unless methods to improve
the public schools are soon adopted the igno-
rance of the people will be greater reproaeh
to Louisiana than the acceptance of money
for education can possibly be, from even a
questionable source. Ii is nonsense to say
that our public school system is efficient; it
lacks the essential element of sufficient reve
nue. to make it SO. 1t is still more ridiculous
to assert that the parents OF Louisiana do not
desire to educate their children, and give this
as reason for the growth of illiteraey. These
are mere eyasions, intended simply to deceive.
What the people want is the truth, and the
truth is that the State needs a larger revenue
for it's schools, double or even treble the
amount which is now appropriated out of
the State treasury. The money must be raised
by taxation, general OF special, and it is for
the people to decide how it is best to get it,
But they should not permit themselves TO be
deceived by brag and bluster into the idea
that our present system is much better than
q farce, except in the towns and cities and
few parishes, or TO believe that illiteracy is
not fearfuify on the increase in the State,
among whites as well as blacks.

Every w WOrd True.

The Natchitoehes Democratic Review says
a recent visit to Texas has confirmed its opin-
ion that Louisiana is unsurpassed in soil,
climate health, water and timber, but we
lack what Texas has received-a people
whose attention and energy are directed to
the developement of its great capabilities.
In Texas, says the Repie,c all questions are
subordinated to the greatness and glory of
the State and its material advancement.
Her people are all booming its attractions j;
generous rivalry exists between her cities and
towns; railroads cut her domain in all direc
tions, and every effort is for TexS8.
Here in Louisiana" continues the ReUie,c,
!" we have snbordinated every thing to poll
tics, and it would not be inapt. to mention
the fact that Texas uses that against US.
At this moment a State canvass is going on
there, and every officer will be elected in
November, from Governor down, but you
would not kl9w it, except yon read the pa
pers. Peopl{5are talking of something else !;
satisfied the tbsuit will be satisfactory. Here
we are out ofsone political campaign into an
mother, and the energies and intelligence of
our people, as great as those of the people OF
Texas, are directed in political channels. II
the energy and intelligence thus expended
were directed into material work the big
boom now on in Texas would be summer
breeze compared with what would be on in

Baton Rouge Advocate.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
In 1880, there were 1l3,855 voters in
the State who could read and write
and l02, 1892 who could not, majority
of 1928 intelligent voters In 1888,
there were 127 1867 registered voters
who could read, against I27, ,440 who
could NOT, o majority of 73 illiterate
voters in the State. These figures are
official, and the man who does not ac-
cept them displays about as much wis
dom as an ostrich, which sticks it's head
10 the sand when closely pressed by it's
pursuers.
Ifit is true, as statistics show, that
illiteracy has increased in the State
during the past decade, the people
ought osknow it so that they may ap-
ply the remedy, and by providing a
better system of public education re-
move the reproach from the good name
Of the State.
The trouble in this case seems to be
that certain newspapers and politicians
of Louisiana have felt it obligatory on
them, as matter of factionaI fidelity,
to conceal as far as possible the start
ling disclosure made by the figures
above given. They prefer to evade and
explain, to deny and denonnce, rather
than meet the issue squarely and hon
estly and to suggest o remedy for the
great and growing evil. They know
that illiteracy must necessarily increase
in the State as long as the means pro-
vided cannot supply public schools for
more than one third of the educabie
children, but they suggest no methods
by which the system may be enlarged
and improved.
/ The discussion of this question ought
to be above and outside OF all incidental
issues, SO that the people may consider
it in it's true light and apply remedy.
What is needed, is simply money, and
money for public uses cannot be
had except by some species of taxation,
local, general or special The neces-
sity of the diffusion of education is
universally recognized and needs no
argument to show that it is the true
policy Of the State; when the people see
that the means already provided are
inadequate to the purpose, it will be
their duty to apply the remedy
