A Successful Planter.

W. B. Gabbert, q progressive plan
ter Of the Roanoke vicinity, was in
Welsh Tuesday and paid the Journal
Office call. Mr.. Gabbert is one OF
the most successful rice farmers in
this section and has never failed in a
crop. This season he raised 2,0l1
sacks from 100 IL acres, averaging
almost sixteen bags to the acre. In
accomplishing this he used sixty-fve
pounds of commercial fertilizer to the
sers on second year land and attend
ed to it properly. He was the first to
ship a car load of Honduras rice into
Jennings and received $2.15 per bag
for it. He was also the first on the
market with his Japan and received
$500 a sack for car load of it. He
also raises hogs and feed for them and
is preparing to put in about forty
acres of oats.

viii Try Diversified Farming,

Capt. B. Z. Walshe informs the
Journal that the Ridge Rice Farms,
owned jointly by himself and Hon.
Chas. f. Buck, of New Orleans, and
located northwest of the oil field,
would be of diversified crops the COM
ing year. He says the tenants have
been instructed to SOW forty acres Of
oats, ten acres of alfalfa, plant two
acres of onions, five acres of sweet
potatoes and it is probable ten acres
will be planted in cotton.
These crops will be on land located
in such way that in the event of a
drouth it may be easily irrigated.
In addition to this the captain ex-
poets to raise a large crop of seed
rice, eighty acres of new land to be
thus utilized, besides greater por-
ton Of that in rice this season will
again be planted next year.
Messrs. Walshe and Buck are car
rying into execution plans that have
been under contemplation by many
planters the past year, and have been
advocated by the press throughout the
rice belt, and in the opinion of many
it will be necessary in the future to
emulate this example in order to make
a success at farming. Let others do
likewise and the cry OF hard times in
southwest Louisiana will soon be a
matter of history.

Killed Bear in CalcaSieu.

Tom Cox, prominent citizen of Or
ange, returned Friday night from a
hunt over in Calcasieu parish, says
the Orange TEX. Tribune. He has
On interesting story to tell his friends
about killing a 400. pound black bear,
which, he says, was bayed by his
dogs, and that terrible fight took
place, and to save the dogs he was
compelled to place himself in a very
critical position in regard to the bear.
In order to get a shot at the mons
trous animal he got in two feet OF him
and sent ball through him which
killed him instantly. Mr.. Cox brought
back enough of the bear to sustain
his story, and any one who doubts the
same can be convinced If they will
call at Mr.. Cox's residence and see
the hide.

Bell City college is progressing
finely under the management of its
president, H. A. Wood, and his corps
of teachers, all of whom are graduates
from Meridian, Miss. We have an
enrolment of sixty students and the
promise of several more to enter the
second term. We are glad to say that
this institution of learning is truly
religious and nonsectarian.
Professor Wood, the president, is
an untiring worker, visiting many
towns and villages in the interest of
the college.

is more adapted to truck farming and

There is some talk of cotton gin

This is q fine section for diversified

ADVISES Cn0P D.VERSlFICATION
Rice Association OF America Passes
I.cSOIuti0ns TO that Effect.

The Rice Association of America
met at Beaumont Friday, and among
the important matters transacted a
set of resolutions recommending crop
diyersiticatiOn was drafted and the
same unanimousl y endorsed. A mo-
ton was also made arH unanimously
carried that committee be appointed
to ask that the dep. rtment at Wash
lngton be requested to make an au-
thOritative investigation as to the
value of field rice as food for stock.
Following are the resolutions rela-
tive to crop diversity: Whereas, the
profita bic investment in the rice belt
have led to the belief that the industry
was able to carry the burden of fur
nlshing all other needs of our people
by shipping from distant points stock
feed, meats, work stock. fruits, vege-
tables, ETC., resulting in making OF
the belt a one.crop country, caus-
ing a hardship on our people when
conditions affect our one crop I'M
favorably
Resolved, that this association
recommend gradual diyersiGcation of
crops, including cotton, cane, corn,
mlllet, oats, sorghum, peas, ETC., and
that the rec farmers should be en-
couraged to raise horses, mules,
cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, and
that they be fed such food stutfs as the
rice belt will produce, including the
cheaper grades of rice, thus making
each farmer selfsuStaining as far as
possible outside the rice crop.
RESOLVED, that we recommend the
farmers of the rice belt to carefully
drain portion OF their lands, that a
fair test OF the possibilities of diversi-
tication may be made and we especially
recommend that those having lands
naturally drained experiment along
many lines for the benefit of those not
SO favorably located, the past year
having demonstrated that those lands
sloping toward natural water courses
are valuable for the production of
oats. Believing that the rice belt is
capable of furnishing all the needs of
our people, we recommend that a
patient effort be made along this line.

Demand for StenographerS.

There is a great demand for expert
stenographers everywhere; in the
courts, in law and medical offices, on
newspapers. by literary workers, IN
state and municipal Offices, in the
White House, in Congress and the
Legislature, in hotels and on railroad
trains: in fact wherever there is writ
ing to be done, there too, is the strong
call for the stenographer to do it.
SALARIES PAID ETC.
Are much better than in ordinary
clerical positions, and the duties light
er and more congenial. In the U. S
Government Departments, there is a
constant call for young men and
women to fill these positions paying
81 200 to 81, 800 year.

Blaze Threatened Business Section.

Friday night between Sand go clock,
the cry OF fire was heralded through
the town of Welsh, and from the re-
Election on Cooper's drug store and
the Welsh Meat Market, it appeared
that the entire business section of
Welsh was threatened. The blaze
originated in the tailoring shop of E.
S. GoOdreau on South street. Mr..
Goodreau entered the store about $50
o'clock and at once detected a strong
erdor of gasoline. He struck a match,
lighted a lamp and was putting the
chimney, when suddenly the interior
of the building became a mass of
flames. An investigation showed that
jet to the gasoline stove was left
partially open, and the escaping gas
had accumulated sufficiently to cause
an explosion when ignited. The flames
were soon extinguished by the willing
volunteers, but not until the wall pa
per had been burned and the goods
badly scorched. Goodreau estimates
his loss from fire and water at between
s25 and $50, while the building, own.
ed by Jones Bros, was damaged to
the extent of about 500. 1t was in

AS the Journal stated last week the
sudden desire of the Rio Bravo Oil
Company to quit the Welsh field after
spending thousands of dollars in i'm
provements seemed peculiar. That is
the view that every one took OF the
matter following the announcement of
that company's sudden determination.
Instead of moving the machinery as
was previously announced, every
thing is in position as before, but in
charge of a Waterman. 1t is freely
predicted that the company will re-
sumo operations within a short time,
that the temporary cessation is only
for reasons best known to the rail-
road company or Rio Bravo Com
pany, and is matter that frequently
presents itself in the development of
new oil fields. At any rate those in
terested in the local field are none the
less discouraged at the action of the
Rio Bravo people, and it looks now
that development will be pushed with
greater zeal this winter than at any
previous period.
