A Big Gusher at Sulphur

The bringing in Monday of a gusher
at the Sulphur mines, few miles
west of Lake Charles, widens the oil
producing territory Of this section
and makes it one of the best in the
world. Monday while wOrkmen were
engaged sinking a sulphur well they
were surprised by the sudden appear
.nce of gas, followed by flow OF oil,
extending to height of twenty-five
feet saboye the fderrick. 1t is eStl-
mated that the well gushed 10000 bar
rels of oil the first twenty-four hours.
Ear,hen tanks have been provided Tor
saving the Oil.
The territory in the vicinity OF Sui
phur City has been the scene OF much
exploration in quiet way, but II any
oil in quantity was ever found there
nothing has been heard of it, There
have been many indications, and dur
ing the height of the oil fever there
was much activity in the land market
It ;s said that the Standard Oil Com
nanv owns considerable tract OF
land in the immediate vicinity of Sui
pbur City, and the Louisiana Sulphur
and Mineral Company is also large
holder of land there
Sulphur has been taken out in grea
j quantities and has proven source o
mncb wealth to the people who devel
u oped that part of the mineral resource
of the section.

MARRIAGE PREVENTED BY DEATH
Wedding Bells Transformed Into Flu
neral EneIIS in Welsh.

Clad in the garments in which she
was to have become a bride, the
body of Miss Florence, the nineteen
yssr.ol6 daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
S. DeWolf, was tenderly laid to rest
in the city cemetery Monday at IL
o'clock.
The wedding that had been arran-
ged to take place on Christmas day
vas converted into a funeral a week
later: instead of showering their best
wishes upon a happy bride, friends
shed bitter tears about her bier; con-
gratulations were transformed into
words of coincidence, and the young
man to whom she had plighted her
troth is broken hearted and compan-
ionless, while the soul of Florence
DeWolf is with her maker.
The death of Miss DeWolf occurred
Saturday evening and was distress
ingly sad. She had been ailing Tor
some time, but five weeks ago was seized
with an attack of fever, later develop
ing complications from which she sue
combed.
On October y she was to bave been
married to Ross Mann, of Iowa Sta
ton, but due to her illness the we'd
ding was postponed until Christmas
day. At that time her condition
would not permit of the ceremony anc
an indefinite postponment was made
She continued to grow worse until
Saturday, when death came to her re

Funeral services were conducted il

at 10 o'clock by Ed. S. B. Horton,

RICE NUTRITIOUS STOCK FOOD
A Government Report Claims That IT
Excels Both Corn and Oats.

Months ago the Rice Journal began
to agitate the question of feeding low
GRADE rice to live stock. For several
wears the percentage of low grade
rices raised on the Gulf Coast has
been increasing and it has long been
apparent that sooner or later the IN
ferior rices would swamp the market.
The real trouble with rice today IS
not the large amount OF 1t IN slghV
but the large amount OF the INFERIOR
qualities. Good rice sells at tar
price and good rice will always com
mand a fair price. 1t is the poor rice
that is down and unfortunately the
poor rice predominates in quantity
If the use of ground rough rice for
stock feed becomes general on the
Gulf Coast it is possible to feed half
a million bags to mules alone. Natur-
ally, if rice becomes popular IN tho
rice belt as principal ingredient OF
mules feeds, it's use will spread. There
i no reason why the sugar country
should not use it as well as the rice
belt
many mills in both Louisiana and
Texas have taken up the idea OF feed
ing out the low grades. In Louisiana
mandatory has been established
for the manufacture OF stock teed, d
principal ingredient of which is rice
In Texas many mills have taken up
the idea and are pushing the sale OF
low grade rice as an ingredient OF
stock feed. AS an instance OF the
, effective manner in which this is be
} ing done we cite the following circular
which is being sent out by W. 5. Del
; erv e. Co.. rice dealers and planters

jas. ELLIS vN RTE SITUATION.
A Change in the Method Of Farming
Necessary to Success.

In the current number Of the Rice .
Journal and Gulf Coast Farmer, Jas, !
Ellis, of Welsh, says: The past month .
mas witnessed some activity among .
farmers in preparing for the wants OF
another season by sowing oats. 1t is |
evident that feed bills will be much
less next season: this of course Will
make profits more with same prices.
1t is also evident that planters will
be more careful about what sort Of
renters they let their land to. In
short the rational process of elimina-
ton will be praCticcd. We must
admit that all our farming has been
too much Of the speculative character:
and speculation is out Of place in
agriculture. Franklin said:
Larger boats may venture more.
But smaller boats must keep near
the shore"
The smaller boats have done the
most venturing, and as long as the
sea was smooth, and winds fair they
skipped along beautifully: but con-
trary currents and adverse winds
brought about natural results.
1t is certainly unfortunate that a
country like ours should suffer as
, ours has, when there was no cause for
; it. While there is no excuse for those
who have precipitated present con-
! dtiOns upon rice farmers, there is no
excuse for rice farmers to put them
) selves in the hands of those who
t would bring about these conditions.
The writer has spent some time II
| the cotton growing section of this
9 State, where every farmer worked his
own patch of cotton, and he finds thu
! farmers holding their crop. He asked
Y the question. Can you do this? Th'
answer was, Why not? We don
t owe anything.
If our rice farmers had followed tn
e same plan of work, they would hay
n been in the same condition.
