that they would support him in what
ever rights he had under the civil serv-
ice rules as the first on the eligible list
of superintendent of street pavements.
Broderick's pay check for August has
been held up at the auditors office.
although the long list of other non civil
service names from the works board
department was this month approved
by the civil service commission and the
men will receive their pay.
Casey is said to be carrying over 100
men who are now laying curbs on the
commissions payroll as street sweep
ers," the reason being the list of
eligibles of street sweepers is ex-
r. usted, leaving a free hand for the
employment of others. The works
board commissioners claim that the
civil service procedure does not give
the city efficient servants, the men be-
ing theoretically instead of practically
qualified for their jobs. There is, how
ever, the recourse of discharging a man
appointed for proven ineffieiency, itself
a difficult thing to establish.

Some $50 temporary employees of
the board of works, whose names have
been carried on the city's payroll by
successive appointments of the board
for a year or longer may lose their jobs
as the result of Thomas Reagan's win

superintendent of street REPAIRS y
Judge Bucks decision, coupled with
City Attorney Longs opinion that
temporary" appointments must be
temporary in fact, leading to an i'm

service eligibles, will necessitate both
the works board and the board of
health disseminating their policy of
carrying non civil service men for
months at a time.

exchange such things as game, iIsh or
skins, but first they retained for them
selves and families a full supply OF
those products of the lard. Such was
the first step in farming, and men
have kept doing the same with inn
~provemepts, some by necessity, some
by special liking, those last acquiring
knowledge-by keen observations and
successive experiments.
Through the centuries, and each
time man conquered new territories
over the wilderness, the same process
took place, accompanied by the train
ing and raising of stock. but, always
in conjunction with farming. and the
first consideration a to supply the
immediate family.
Came the advance of civilization,
followed by Injuries, necessitating
"a of transportation and calling
for exchange at long distances. Some
products were more in demand than
some others, they being raised some
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1908-10-30

times under special climates or upon
certain soils: and at some periods the
price of those necessary products were
such that the localities furnishing
them realized more profits by growing
them extensively and buying in ex-
change other necessities that then
were neglected. This created a state
of things that could not continue in
definitely. Soil exhaustion, a series of
unfatorable seasons, the augmenta-
ton of and invasion by insects enc
mics of those special plants, the de-
%struction of certain species of birds,
have to-day brought the same farmers
to face a very grave situation.
While we have to go back to the
original object of farming, growing
first a full supply of the necessities for
the immediate family, then the local
markets, we can still produce enough
surplus in exchange for what we can
not procure without giving something
in return. In this last category. 1

TO FARMERS
IN GENERAL.

AS promised, one article a week viii
appear in the local papers concerning
oil that can be of help to the farmers,
not only under present conditions, but
always. To-day the subject under
consideration is:
FIRST DUTY OF A FARMER.
The first man that has scratched the
soil, in whatever way, has done it to
reproduce on a larger scale certain
wild plants that he found pleasant to
his taste and giving strength to his
body; in a word he farmed.
Gradually, the population increas-
ing, and several members having to
attend to other duties, some men de-
voted themselves to the growing of
certain plants, rsceiving probably in
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1908-10-30

class a parcel of this land that each
and every inhabitant ought to possess,
also our clothing and the education
necessary to the welfare of our chill
dren. While everything is valued in
dollars and cents, it is only an ex-
change. This going back figuratively
is simply a return to natural and
sound conditions. 1t is simply the
care of a traveller that has taken the
wrong road to his destination and who
being at a great distance, has to take
a short way across an old abandoned
track.
The way back to our road to desti-
nation is like that short track, full of
holes and hard to travel, but we must
take it, it will lead to our place so
much quicker.
To resume, we have to plant less
cotton, and the conditions being such
that VT cannot grow it with so much
success without changing our methods,
let US start at it right away. There
are some uncomfortable factors to be
taken into consideration, resulting
from atmospheric advents: wet and
dry seasons. While not controlling
them, We can to some extent lessen the
effects resulting by preparation of
soil before planting and tillage of
same while the plants are growing.
We will for the present only regard
the immediate step to take to amend
the condition brought by the presence
of the boil weevil in cotton. We can
not create winter, we cannot make it
cold enough to cause these insects to
freeze, let US make it too hot for
them to live. Before Information
takes place, let us cut and pile up all
the stalks as soon as the crop is gath
cred. that is now: we have machines
made that will cut whole stalks close
to the ground for 10 or II cents an
acre. Piling green, just as soon
after cutting is advisable. as the scat
tered weevils will have to gather in
those piles to find food and shelter,
and will stay there until a very hard
frost drives them away. After 8 or 10
days, when dry enough, those stalks
should be burned, thus destroying not
only the greatest quantity of adult
weevils, but the eggs, larvae and pu-
pae that would mature, and be the
cause of our loss next year. Break
the land as soon as fire has passed.
If such a step is taken by the whole
community, and we have faith in
united farmers, we will put the great
est chance on our side for next season. /
AS is the object of the Cooperative
and Protective Association of this
parish, let each member be a mission
airy in his neighborhood, persuading
the indolent, the Indifferent and even
the unbeliever farmer to get in line, to
do the work if not for himself, for the
of the vicinity. Individual eX-
has always given beneficial re-
suits, but the greatest cooperation will
bring so much more than next fall
there will be no necessity to pray or
beg to see the same measures taken.
But remember the cross road we
have to take, be ready to stand the
by growing at home IN the
g arden, the field and the lot all the
necessities of life, andifsuch advice can
be given you-tell your merchant you
do not want any credit for next season.
it for a while, you will get home
quicker.
