FOR CORONER.

At the primary election to be
held on next Tuesday, Feb. 25th,
the voters of the parish of st. Mary
will be called upon to select & can
didate for coroner. The candidates
who will be pitted against each
other in this purely parochial
contest are DR.. A. !. Smith and
DR.. T. F. Frere. 1t is we'll known
who is the choice of the BANNER
for the Office of coroner of this
parish-that worthy citizen and
true Democrat, DR.. A. J. Smith.
The BANNER has nothing to urge
against the gentleman who is
arrayed against DR.. Smith in the
coming primary, for we recognize
in him a valuable, public spirited
and excellent citizen.
But DR.. Smith is no less worthy
now than he was when we en-
dorsl<l him in the recent primary,
ana we see 10 reason why we
should not endorse him as warmly
now as then. He is well qualified
to perform the duties of the Office
he aspires for-he is perfectly
familiar with all the business
connected with it, and having in
the past held it with credit and
ability, he is the best equipped
for the conduct of its affairs now.
In electing DR.. Smith coroner we
know most conclusively that the
voters will make no mistake.

Article on Rice by Prof. WelbOrn Of
Texas Agricultural College.

The following interesting descrip-
ton of rice culture is republished
from valuable work on gulf coast
agriculture, by Prof, W. G. Welborn,
of the Texas Agricultural College,
and will, we believe be of interest and
value to many Of our readers.
Rice is used as an article of food
by a great many more OF the earth s
inhabitants then bread is. An enor-
nous amount of rice is made and
eaten by the people of China, India,
Japan, and Australia. Rice is of
many colors, including black, red and
white. There are very many varieties
adapted to different conditions, from
the salty marsh lands near the sea to
the mountain SUBMITS many thousand
feet high. Some kinds assume q
dwarf habit and come to maturity
when two months old. In dry, hot
seasons; other kind are planted at
the beginning of the flood season in
the great river bottoms of the Far
East, and grow RS the flood rises till
they reach a height of twenty feet
and then matur floating on the water,
so that the harvesting has to be done
in boats. The people of the Oriental
countries almost always plant their
rice thick in seed beds. When it is
six weeks or two months old they set
it out in the land where it is to grow,
planting about $1,000 plants to the
acre. The land is first plowed and
raked in the mud, and all the grass is
, killed. The rice plants are set in this
mud, and rain water or irrigation
water is made to cover the land and
keep down the weeds and grass. In
China, Japan and India TRANSFORMING
is necessary in order to give the PEG.
, pie time to get off crop of barley or
vegetables, which they must grow in

a vantage, because there are so many

TO get rid of the red rice seed the

Rice in Louisiana and Texas aver"
ages about l,500 to LOGO pounds OF
rough, or uncleaned rice, to the acre.
This is about thirty-five bushels, or a
ultle over twice the average OF
wheat field of the United States.
Some plantations frequently produce
twice as much, The Hawai- ian
Islands average 5000 pounds OF
rough rice to the acre in two crops
grown in ore season, or something
over us bushels to the acre in one
year.
AS rough rice sells in the United
! States for about the same price rs
wheat, it would seem to be a more
! profitable crop. 1T costs more, how
ever, to grow rice. Water must be
pumped or paid for, if furnished by a
canal company. bikes must be made
and kept up and water must be 0lS-
tributed regularly through the fields.
Then wedding is required. Rice
allows a larger period of time for
harvesting then wheat, so that one
man can save much more. by plant

Seven Tax Collectors in the city o.
New Orleans. 1t may be explained
lust here, that at the time the CITY
Government 81 New Orleans, was
collecting from the city, more taxes
than the State col ected. One ta>
collector, at $4,000 per year, was col
lectug all the city taxes. DR.. Bruins
and others of New Orleans, insisted
that if one tax collector could collec
the city taxes, and they were more thar
the State taxes, one tax collector
could collect the State taxes. One ta'
collector, on a salary, would cost no
more than $4,000 per year; SEVEN
tax collectors on fees, would cost abou
$4,000 per year. The differenc
would be saved to the tax PAYERS o
the city of New Orleans.
Where did Mr.. Sanders, the frien
of the ''Plain People" stand on thi
propositions. He stood shoulder +
shoulder with John Fitzpatrick an
the New Orleans Bosses, who wante

Louisiana aud Texas are growing

prairies OF Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas are ideal for rice. They
are level enough for large areas to be

so as to hold the water over the land
at an even denth. Water plays an
important part in the cultivation OF
rice Enough water is turned on the
field to drown the weeds and grasses,
but not enough to cover completely
the rice at any place in the field. The
numerous streams and bayOus in such

supply for rice. The pumping from a

FARM COOPERATION
URGED BY PINCHOT
Forestry Chief, Declining to At

ton Congress.

United States Forester Clifford Pinchot
has written a letter Of regret that he
IS unable to attend the national irriga-
ton congress. which IS in session at Al
buquerque, " NJ. The letter says IN
part.
THE practical value Of organization
Hnd cooperation is obvious, and they
ore being utilized very widely IN nearly
every branch Of our national life. But
what is the case with the farmer? The
Farmers arc the only great body OF cur
people who remain for the most part
substantially unOrganized. The mer-
chants are organized, the waEe-worllers
are organized, the railroads are organ
azcG.
The men with whom the farmer
competes are organized to get the best
results for themselves in their dealings
with him The farmer is engaged, US
ualy without the assistance Of organ
ization. in competing with these Organl-
cations Of other groups of citizens.
Thus the farmer. the man on whose
product we all 1--we, contends almost
single-handed against his highly or
Sanized competitors
