Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter.
Cane continues to grow in a
satisfactory fashion, hot weather
and frequent rains pushing it
ahead quite rapidly. We have
been having exceptionally favor
able August weather and this
has of course done a great deal
to prevent what would otherwise
have been a disastrously short
crop. The backwardness is
being retrieved, as we have re-
ported previously, as far as it
is possible for favorable weather
conditions to retrieve it, and the
inefficient stand secured in the
first instance is the only cause
of the shortage. which we still
believe is inevitable at harvest
time.

it's section and wants to be
buried here when he dies. And
he's worth a whole regiment
of the lukewarm kind"
The Gazette's idea of a good
citizen about fills the bill. The
man whom it describes is a good
citizen. and every town can point
to one or more who has contri-
buted more to the upbuilding of
the community and the advance
ment of the general welfare than
dozens of others who are aptly
described bv the Gazette as the
"lukewarm kind" On the other
hand every town has both the
"lukewarm kind" and the kind
that obstructs enterprises de-
liberately and with no other
thought than to satisfy selfish
personal spite. There are a few
of the latter in Shreveport. No
progressive movement has ever
been started in this city that
they did not either openly flight
it or attempt in devious ways to
block and handicap il. And the
good people of this city, seeing
what has been accomplished in
spite of these clogs in the wheels
of progress, are treasuring up
the memory of the battles they
have had to wage in order that
all might share in the city's pros
perity against the day when
there will be an accounting. On
that day the selfish pessimist is
going to make his bow to the
good citizen and the latter is
going to come into his own.

Unnecessary Expense.

of this remedy will relieve the patient
before a doctor could arrive. 1t has
never been known to fail, even in the
most severe and dangerous cases and
no family should be without it. For

The Good Citizen.

Shreveport Times.
Says the Farmerville Gazette:
Our idea of a good citizen. and
we are glad there are many in
this community, is one always
ready to give, according to his
means. to community enter
prises. He takes stock in them
all, and doesn't lose faith if an
occasional venture proves bad.
He is not afraid to buy real estate
and to pay what it is worth. He
talks up his town at home and
abroad, thinks it is the healthiest
place on earth, believing it to be
destined to be the biggest city in

SUGGESTIONS,
SEED SELECTION.

Station No. 1 in the highway
of farm progress is good seed.
Planting selected seed of the
best variety and of the highest
vitality, is absolutely essential to
the product ton of the best crops.
Buying the best seed, if the
farmer does not have it, is COM
mendable; but this must be fol-
lowed by the best cultivation and
the most careful selection to
eliminate minor defects and i'm
prove the excellencies of the
type, or the seed will deteriorate.

INSTRUCTIONS.
COTTON SEED.

i That like produces like, is a
law of plant life to be observed in
all details.
1st. From your best field of
cotton select the best portion,
and in this choice division, mark
the most vigorous and produc-
tive plants. showing short joints
and fruit limbs near the bottom.
The entire plant should be an
exceptional fruit producer.
Seed should be selected from
these marked cotton stalks, but
the top bOlls and the bOlls on the
ends of the limbs should not go
into the lot for seed; they tend to
make the cotton later. The bolls
selected for seed should be
picked by special field hands,
sent in advance of the regular
pickers. This seed cotton must
be stored in a dry place and
watched to avoid mixing.
Special care must be taken at
the gin, that the gin and floor are
free from all other cotton seed
before ginning. Store this seed
in a dry place.
Where greater length of staple
is desired select for seed such
hollis only as show the longest
staple. By careful selection
most any desired qualities, or
characteristics, can ultimately
be secured.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1906-08-29
SEED O

The above rules for cotton APP
ply to corn.
1st. Fix some standard quail
ties of corn and type of ear you
prefer. then select to secure
these.
If a white corn, with average
ear, it should be about eight
inches long with medium cob.
long, deep and uniform kernels
which cover the ends of the cobs
well, husk closely adhering to
the corn at the tip. The kerr
nels should show a nitrogen con-
tent above the average. In the
above case the seed corn should
be selected from a stalk that has
two early matured ears, so as to
promote a tendency to produce
two ears and early maturity.
End. If the large ear type is
preferred, it is better to select
the seed corn from stalks bear
ing one ear only, but of the de-
sired type. In general charac
teristics it should correspond to
case one, except with a large and
longer ear.
3rd. All barren or nOn-prO-
ducing stalks should have been
detasselled, and all ears blighted
or blasted by smut should have
been removed from the field
where seed corn is to be selected.
Avoid selecting seed ears near
blighted ears or even good ears
where most of the surrounding
ears are nubbins.
4th. Store in a dry place, and
never when wet or not thorough
ly cured.

THE OBVIOUS THING.

The chief asset OF a town Is It's
trade, and this should be guarded
iealously and zealOusly: for loss
of trade means decrease in val
ues and cessation of growth. A
watchful eye should at all times
be kept upon the territory con-
tributory to the town and at any
evidence of inclination to take its
trade elsewhere, prompt meas
ures should be taken to reestab-
lish mutually and make the bond
stronger than before.
With a recognition of this large
need to hold trade. with an appre-
citation that business is depend
ent upon trade, it would seem
that the business men in every
town. and particularly in a town
that claims to be progressive,
would not need the suggestion
to form an organization. for
the purpose of guarding their
trade interests, but would find it
the obvious thing to do.
Lafayette while not having
formed an association on the lines
above, has nevertheless taken a
step in that direction in the or
ganization of the Good Roads
League for keeping the highways
entering town in good condition.
This is a practical effort to hold
trade and is excellent; but it is
not enough. Not alone should
we make the roads good, but we
should further reach out and tie
all contiguous territory, and even
more.
To accomplish this we should
make use of the trolley. The ex-
pense looms up great at first
glance. but let us consider the
matter a while, let US look at it
squarely, study its value in all
ways and familiarize ourselves
with the idea-it won't be long
before the project will not only
appear feasible, but the difficult
ties to be overcome will shrink
to small proportions.
Lafayette is on the upward
grade, but it will not do to blind
ourselves to the fact that rail
roads are now under construc-
ton which will surround US, cur
failing our territory and intro
ducing new competitors for our
trade. Situated as we are, our
move" is to make Lafayette the
center of a trolley system, and it
is well to remember that faith,
enthusiasm and hard work ac-
complish wonders.
