STUDY OF wooD-UsTNG INDUS
TRIES TO BEGIN IN KENTUCKY

Washington, July 28.-A statistic
al study Of the wood-using industries
of Kentucky will be commenced
early next month by the State Board
of Agriculture, Forestry and Immi-
grafton in cooperation with the
United States Forestry Service.
The objects to be accomplished
through this study are first, to :
certain the species and amounts used
in the hundreds of factories, with
the purpose particularly of determin,
ing what woods should be grown for
home consumption, and second to
compile this information for the
benefit of buyers and sellers of lum-
Der in the State.
The dsta will be secured largely
by correspondence, and among the
questions which manufacturers will
be asked to answer are: The pro
ducts manufactured and the field of
trade; the kind of wood used in the
production of each article manufac-
tured, together with the approx.
mate amount used annually; the cost
f. o. b factory of lumber bought;
the source of raw material; the
grades of lumber which are bought,
and the smallest size of each class OF
material which can pro6tably be
purchased.
All information given by the man
ufacturers will be held confidential
so far as the individual reports are
concerned, the result as whole be
ing combined into a report which
will be published and distributed
among those interested.

~DISCOURAGING PRICES.
Port Barre Farmer Says that he WIZ Eat
EVERYTHING He Raises.

MI. Nick Lahsye, a prominent and
prosperous farmer living on the
Teche between here and Port Barre,
was in 0peIousas Tuesday with a load
of Irish potatoes, and obtained but
forty cents per bushel for them, the
market having gone down that day.
''Ill not sell any more Of my pro
duce," said Mr.. Lahaye, Il am deter
mined to live absolutely at home
that is eat all | make on my farm.
| can't raise potatoes at forty cents
a bushel."
It was doubtless di~seouraging to
MFR. Lahaye that he should obtain
such a small price for potatoes, when
not many days ago they were selling at
ST. per bushel.
Soon after the episode in which
Mr.. Lahaye declared himself so We
hemently, a prominent potato buyer
the same who had just bought Mr..
LahaYe's p~otatoes) was met on the
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1909-06-19

street by the editor Of the Clarion,
and asked for the reason Of the low
market. Here's a letter / viii show
you-but outside of the fact reeita-
ted in the letter, the market generally
has taken a tumble, the market being
rushed" With this he produced a
letter from a st. Louis house, which
said that if a car of potatoes it had
Just received from 0pelousas was a
fair sample of the potatoes raised
here it did not want them at any
price. "They are ugly, bumpY, and
of an inferior quality said the letter"
Our farmers viii have to to learn
the cultivation Of Irish potatoes be-
fore they can obtain top-noteh prices
and they will have to organize
themselves SO that they will not be
imposed upon by buyers. A truck
farmers association was organized
here some months ago; there was
one meeting, and repeated calls by
the President failed to bring enough
farmers to the meeting to make a
quorum. The farmers will have to
learn to help themselves; will
have to learn to organize so that
they will not be at the mercy Of buy
ers.
There is money in Irish ptoatoes.
But they must be gotten on market
in time; must be in good condition
and must have been cultivated in the
proper manner-and the farmers
must have organized themselves SO
that they can get good prices.

knocked out By some scheming lawyer;
but the people Of the bustling little
town were determined that their
children should have the same educa-
tional advantages as children Of other
towns around them-and they voted
the school tax repeatedly until, well,
the school house is built.
"0Ver in Shreveport we find a
splendid school building; in Lake
Charles the same thing, and up there
in Alexandria they have already
voted a second tax for a second
school building. Why, my friends,
way up in the woods of North Louisi-
ana we find a little town not near as
large or prosperous as you are here,
with a $4,000 school building. In
Baton Rouge we built a large school
building, and where the children
came from to fill it up no one seems
to know; so a second one was built,
and now that is also full; so you see
that when you have a good comfort
able school building, you invite the
parents to send their children to this
place for their education, and our
children have a right to expect &C
eommodations and comfortable quart
ers during their study hours. And
now, why have | mentioned all of
these instances? For only one rea-
son, my good friends, and that is to
show you what your neighbors are
doing in the line of school buildings
aud accommodations for the children
who are dependent upon them for
their education. Now, don't any Of
you mention boil weeYils, for any
man that can't fight the boil WeeYil
in this country, where you can grow
and make money out of anything
you plant, is a coward. 0pelousas,
that is the fairest, richest and grand
est part of the State and can't have
a modern school building? Are you
going to let ali Of your neighbors
get away from you in this respect?
Are you going to keep up with the
procession, or stay in the rear? The
man who invests money in a cement
walk figures that he has invested
money that will bring him returns,
same as to sewerage; why won't
money invested in brains bring more
money than any of these items?
When you go to the polls next
Tuesday, do just what every good
citizen should do for his community,
The best thing to further its inter
ests,8 and if you do, you will vote
for the tax"
Mr.. Hines speech was a convince
ing exposition Of the question, and
elicitied much Favorable comment.
The meeting, it is believed, had a
good effect, and the friends of the
tax are confident Of carrying the
day Tuesday.
