DiTevsiflcatiOn Means Success.

Some people will persist in plowing
while the ground is in an unfit con-
diop, and thus will shorten the crop
by shortening the yield. 1t is too bad
that people will ruin an industry by
such thoughtless work. 1t increases
thecOst of irrigating, and the cost OF
harvesting and does no good to the
man gho D.aats. It seems as il some
people court failure for themselves
and ruin for those whose land they
work
There are those who say that it does
not make any difference to the rice
crop how the ground is plowed: but
many years experience has taught the
writer that ground plowed when it is
vet ruins it for rice as we'll as for any,
thing else. Suppose it is a little later
lhan it was last season, that is no
reason that you should prepare the
ground in such a manner as to get
only half crop. 1t is better to have
halt As much in and have full crop.
A session of the Farmers Institute
Vas held here; the attendance was fair
and much interest was manifested by
those present in the discussion of the
subject presented by Msssrs Adger
and Bonner, conductors.
The presentation of the subject OF
diversified farming especially was
very instructive an interesting. Ideas
new 10 most of the hearers were pre-
sented and facts showing what had
been done in certain Tines were
presented in such a manner as to leave
10 the minds Of the hearers strong
conviction that rice IS not the only
tllng to be produced with profit in
This section.
However, these gentlemen gave their
experience as it was in a latitude some

Oil Field News Notes.

Welsh oil field never appeared more
gloomy than at present. Only two
companies are pumping, the Hill Top
Company of New Orleans, and the To-
cal Wesh Oil Company. Both these
companies are, however, steady pro
ducers, the Welsh company having
pumped right along day and night for
the past three years, and the Hill Top
Company has an equally fine record
though not as old concern.
TIE trouble here is lack of ship
ping facilities owing to poor pipe line
service, hence there has been quite an
accumulation of oil on the field. The
low price of all crude oils retards
more active development here, and the
only we'll drilling now is for the Hig-
gins Oil and Fuel Company of Texas.
Their we'll is down something over
one thousand feet, and is southwest
, of the Welsh proven oil field about
! a half mile. This location is con-
sidered reasonably sure for oil, being
| on the Wood farm. The other Wild
cat we'll on the Romero farm, some
three and half miles northwest of
this oil field, is down about two thous-
and feet and it is reported to be so far
salt water proposition, though the
syndicate drilling the we'll have Or
dered screen and appear to have
confidence that the hole will yet be an
oil we'll.

the Welsh field, while the Higgins Gil

PEACE DISTURBED AT BELL CITY.
Boys Whipping Causes Threats of Ar.
rests and Vacant PrOfeSSOrShip.

Saturdays L. c. American: The
Bell City college is just now under
going q period of internecine disturb
ance, and quite number of those in
terested are in Lake Charles today,
Prof. Fl. A. Wood, an instructor in
the college, and a small boy named
Adam Minard, whose parents live
somewhere up on the Mermentau, are
the pivots around which public in
terest in Bell City is circling, and it is
stated that the board of directors of
Bell City college has taken Prof.
Woods official scalp as a teacher in
the college.
Prof. Dan Hayes is president of the
board, and is in Lake Charles today
with quite number of others, all Of
whom are interested in the case. Ac-
cording to the story an ll-year-old
boy, Adam Minard, has been living
with his grandmother, who was keep
ing house for Professor Wood. The
lad was attending school
On several different occasions Mr..
Wood missed some money and blamed
the boy for the loss. A few days ago,
it is alleged, he took the lad out onto
the college grounds after night and
gave him most severe whipping.
Some of the Bell City people were
under the impression that Prof Wood
used undue force and industry in the
performance of this operation, and
wanted the professor arrested. So
the whole party came up on the Lac
asine branch this morning. In re-
sponse to a telegram Sheriff Reid and
Deputy Huskey met the train with the
intention of arresting Prof. Wood,
but when the party arrived no one
seemed to care to swear out war
rant, and the matter flashed in the
pan, and warrant remains unsworn
out.

PLACES y0AFIDEN,E IN RICE hELE
Mortgage Company Considers Risks on
Rice Land Exceptionally Good.

Evan j. ReeS, representative Of Il
large Mortgage Company in Memphis.
and who has been doing business in
this section for some time past, says
that notwithstanding the present de.
preston the rice belt is considered
by his company one of the best risks
in the country. While in Crowley he
said to the Signal: st would take
me long time to tell you in detail, but
can sum it up in a few words: We
are increasing our business here.
"You can best appreciate what |
mean by this when tell you that we
aim to do business only in sections
where we think future prosperity is
assured. We are satisfied about the
rice belt. We can't figure out how
you can lose, and consequently we
don't see how we can lose. Rice is
low in price, but we were doing bus
mess in Illinois when corn was at
fifteen and corn lands were as low as
forty dollars an acre. Now corn is
around forty and can't look at corn
land for less than hundred dollars
an acre, and it sells for as high as a
hundred and fifty. We confidently
expect history to repeat itself in the
rice belt.
"Why should't it? In the rice belt
a farmer can set aside an acre of
ground for vegetables and keep his
family off the proceeds. He can sup
port his family with smaller effort
here than in any country with which |
