when four straight winning heats had
to be run to- win, was eclipsed this
afternoon, when the entire program
of three races was finished in that
style of going. The attendance was
small on account of the rain.
In two races favorites were barred
and second choices proved no factor,
while in the third Murphy's Innerguard
made good in hollow fashion, but even
the talent could not recuperate it's
losses by over so per cent.
In the Queen City stake The Har-
vester was barred as soon as the auc-
tions commenced and the talent at
once shifted to the California entry.
Carlokin. at 100, with two New york
state entries, Genteel H and Beatrice
Bellini, at 20 and 40 respectively. Ac-
cording TO form this was a blind pick
and 1T proved so when Carlokin flew
into the air after the start for the
opening heat and never got down to
trot and was feft on the wrong side

The next convention of the State
Firemen's Association will be held at
Lafayette in May, 1910, and although
the date is yet distant, Foreman Gus
Schmulen is considering ways and
means for entertaining the great
gathering of fire fighters at their next
annual conclave. Some fifteen hun
dred delegates usually attend and to
make provision for their comfort and
pleasure is task which requires time
and forethought. Mr.. Schmulen has
aleady conferred with Mayor Martin as
assistance from the city, and when
the time comes citizens generally
will lend helping hand to welcome
to assistance from the city, and when
was held at Thibodeaux

NO USE TO PICK
UP SQUARES NOW.
Announcement by State Crop Pest
Commission As Will Not Be Found
Profitable.
MIGRATION OF WEEVILS TAKES
PLACE ABOUT AUGUST FIRST.
Commission Advocates Frequent Shall
low Cultivation to Produce Squares
to Save BoIls from WeeviI.

The State Crop Pest Commission
has announced through its ento-
mol gist, Wilmon Newell, that the
picking up and burning of infested
squares in the cotton fields will not
be found profitable from this date on.
The commission has approved of
the gathering of fallen squares and
their destruction during June and the
early part of July. but the season
has now arrived when so many
squares and forms are falling from
the plants that the cost of gathering
them is prohibitive. 1t is also point
ed out that the migration, or dis
persion. of the weevils will take place
the latter part of July or early in
August, as it has done in previous
years, and all cotton fields will be-
come thoroughly infested by the Vice.
vii at that time, no matter how thor
oughly the farmer has succeeded in
keeping down the weevils prior to
taht date. The squares which are be-
ing punctured now will not produce
adult weevils until about August l,
and as the migration of the weevils
will cause a maximum infestation of
every cotton field, the weevils which
would be destroyed by the farmer
picking up squares now would make
no difference in the amount of damage
done to this years crop.
The commission is advocating the
continued frequent, shallow cultiva-
tion of the cotton fields where the
cotton has reached such size as not to
interfere with the cultivation. Mr..
Newell is authority for the statement
that great abundance of squares on
the plants from now until Aug. 1, will
serve as a protection for the small
bOlls already set. The weevils will
continue their attention to the
squares, ii these are abundant, and
let the bolls alone, whereas. if there |
we're but few squares ON the plants |
he weevils would now turn their at |
ention to bolls already set and de- |
story large percentage of them It |
S to keep the plants producing
squares profusely for the next two
weeks that the commission advises
continued shallow cultivation wher-
'ver the condition and size Of the
,rop will permit

lect all subscriptions and report to

BY motion Of Mr.. Caffery the meet
ing Of stockholders adjourned and
those present resolved themselves in
to q meeting to consider the PROPOSE
tion to levy tax for public school
maintenance. On motion of Mr. Caf-
ferry, by a vote of six to four, it was
resolved that it is the sense of this
meeting that a thee mill tax is suffi-
cient, considering the other needs of
the town and parish and the existing
conditions. Supt. Wright explained
the situation of the School Board and
the absolute necessity for a five mill
tax II the schools were to be main
tained for nine months session.
Messrs. j A. Roy, F. v. Mouton and
B. N. Corona also expressed their
views as favoring the schools, but
rather inclined to the mill tax if it
was possible to arrange matters in
this way. Mr.. Corona argued that it |
would only be short time before the
town must provide a sewerage sys-
tenn and other sanitary improvements,
and therefore the tax rate should be
held in reserve as much as possible.
By motion Of Supt Wright it was
resolved that conference between the
taxpayers and the School Board be
held Monday. July rs, at the High
School auditorium, at 2 o'clock p. m.
70 discuss the proposition of the
school tax in all its phases. The
then adjourned.

For Benefit Of Associated
Charities.
ORGANIZATION VERY
SHORT ON FUNDS NOW
At Present Time It Is Facing
Heavy Winter Demands
With an Empty Treasury
And Also a Debt.

Promoters Of the open air perform

received word from Mr.. Greet that the
two playlets he will produce here are
King Rene's Daughter translated
from the Danish by Sir Theodore
Martin for Mr.. Greet, and Creatures
of Impulse" which is fairy farce by
w. s. Gilbert.
At the conclusion of the first playlet
Mr.. Greet writes, pastoral dance will
be given.
AS has been previously announced,
these two plays are to be given for the
benefit of the Associated Charities,
and will be produced on the lawn ut
Reeveston, South Sixteenth street. the
home Of Mrs. Mark Reeves. The gen.
eral public is urged to attend this at
traction and small admission foe
will be asked. 1t is expected that the
proceeds of this entertainment will net
the worthy charitable organisation
several hundred dollars, which money
is badly needed by the organisation.
Has Done Fine Work.
The Associated Charities has done
splendid work among the poor Of the
city and for many winters past has
been haven OF hope for those unfo-.
tunates who had not the money to
purchase coal, provisions and clothing.
Last winter the demands made on the
organization were particularly heavy
and it not only expended all the mon
ey 1t had in its treasury, but went in
debt, as well, to relieve the suffering
Of the poor.
At the present time the Associated
Charities is facing the winter season
only few months away, with an emp
ty treasury and a debt hanging over Its
head. It is imperative that this debt
be lifted and the treasury again filled
With this end in view the promoters

ton. and it proved to be one of the
most delightful productions ever wit
messed in Richmond. At Reeveston
there Is natural stage and the lawn
surrounding it is SO spacious that
hundreds Of spectators can be accom-.
modated.
The Greet plays are not the only en-.
tertainments to be given for the benefit
of the Associated Charities. On July
Z there will be a base ball game al
Athletic park, the rival teams being
composed Of newspaper men and law
yers. This promises to be q strong

doubt. be witnessed by hundreds Of
people.
