Accidentally Killed.

Mrs. J. J. Vincent. wife of a cat
tie dealer living seven miles from
Sulphur. was accidentally shot and
killed at her home. Mrs. Vincent
was alone at the time, her husband
and daughter having gone to church
1t had been the custom of the fam
lily to kill chickens for their own
use by shooting, and it is believed
that Mrs. Vincent secured the shot
gun for this purpose and that the
gun was discharged accidentally by
catching on some obstruction on the
rear porch. She was found dead on
the porch, with a wound in her
breast and the empty gun near by.

Private Secretary Fuqua when

the parish of st. Charles, stated
that the warrant has never been is

Report of Pest Commission.

The State Crop Pest Commission
has issued its fourth report showing
the outcome of its experiments al
Mansura, Avoyelles Parish, where
the percentage of boil weevil sur
viving the winter is being determ-
ined. The figures now given, taken
in comparison with those previous
ly announced, show not only the
percentage of weevils thus far SUR
viving the winter, but also show the
rate at which they have emerged
from Information to date.
A total of 1921 healthy and
active adult weevils were confined
in cages last fall, with suitable pro-
tective material in which they could
hibernate. AS already reported in
these dispatches out of the number
9S6 weevils, or 6 1-2 per cent. en-
erged from Information between
Feb. 15 and March 2S this year. Be-
tween March 2S and April 10, sos
more or 2 12 per cent, of the orig
inal 16,2S1 left Information. Be
tween April 10 and April 20, IT'S
weevils. or 1,07 per cent of the or
ignal number came out of winter
quarters. Between April 20 and 80.
394 more of the weevils left hiber-
nation, "a per cent of the original
number. Out of the 1925 weevils
placed in the the cages last fall,
total of 1850, or 1875 per cent,
have already survived the winter
and have issued from their winter
quarters in search of cotton.
Entomologist Newell, of the Com
mission considers that this is rela-
lively high survival, although, as no
such observations have heretofore
been made in central Louisiana, 1t
is not possible to compare this data
with data of previous years. This
makes it impossible, therefore to
predict the extent of boil weevil
damage in central Louisiana from
these figures in a similar expert
ment made at Keatchie, De Soto
Parish, in 1905-06 by the Commits
sion the total number of surviving
weevils was less than per cent.
The emergence at Mansura has al
ready exceeded these figures by
more than four times, and weevils
are. still daily emerging from the
rubbish in the cages. The emergence
is sufficiently large so that severe
damage to the crop may be expected
unless the season permits through
cultivation of the crop, and unless
hot, dry weather also prevails dur
ing June and July.

Teachers Needed.

Teachers will be needed next year
to fill the position in the twelve ag-

to establish throughout Louisiana.
The Louisiana State University ex-
poets to be able to supply number
of teachers for this position, gra-
duates from the Agricultural De-
partment of the University. Super
intendent Harris is now sending out
literature regarding the establish
ment of these proposed agricultural
schools and is receiving a great
of correspondence on the subject.

Truck Farmers Busy.

Truck farmers at Pointe-la-Hache,
are busy at digging up thei- potatoes
and preparing garlic for the market.
Potatoes are not meeting the expect
ed yield and the crop consequently,
will be much below tat of last year.
The garlic crop is also small, but
in general is rather large and of a
fine quality, which gives hope for
getting good prices. The rice plant
ers have finished sowing and, with
out exception, have fine stands.
