it to determine the percentage Of the yield in
sheIIed corn. We have found that in ordinary
-four barrel method Of buying and selling, good
corn in the slip shuck would yield over ~fifty-siX
pounds to the barrel and poor corn would yield
less.
Those who have produced corn in Louisiana
this season for sale will be disappointed if they
try to force it all upon an unwilling market at
the present time. Nearly everyone has raised
more or less corr and until the limited supplies
shall have been exhausted and an inquiry begins
after the first of the new year from those who
are short in supply Of corn those who have an
excess will be unable to realize its full Louisiana
value. Corn in Chicago is now quoted at 50
cents, which is said to mean 50 cents in New
Orleans and, let US say, rs cents in the country,
and to this would have to be added the cost Of
it's bagging, making the corr cost about 50
cents a bushel, based upon the present Chicago
quotations, the corr to be delivered after the
first of the year, with no intervening profit to
any middlemen. These figures would indicate
that after the first of the year, when a positive
demand will arise for corn, it cannot be got
from the West and brought to New Orleans,
rebagged and sent to the interior throughout
the sugar belt at a cost of less than 81 rs a bar
rel that would she'll out eighty-four pounds, or
a bushel and a half.

River Pollution.

Efforts are now making in New York City
to prevent the pollution of the waters of the
harbor by dumping garbage into it or into the
waters contiguous thereto, the incoming tides
floating the garbage back to the city. The
Waterways League of Greater New York and
Long Island is sending out letters to every
Marine club in the five boroughs Of the great
metropolis, asking for reports regarding the
condition of the waters in the vicinity of each
organization. In it's appeal for this information
reference is made to the unsanitary, barbarous,
disease breeding and filth laden condition of the
waters which everywhere surround New York
City and it says the situation must be improved
and that it believes by united effort the waters
can be made pure and sanitary.
Just at the time this is going on in New
York a conference is being held in New Orleans
between the Mayor of New Orleans, the Orleans
Levee Board and the Port Commission as to the
proper places in New Orleans where the garb-
age of the great city may be dumped into the
Mississippi River, to pollute the river for the
hundred and more miles of it's flow below the
city. AS these garbage dumping points are
public nuisances, it becomes quite a serious
matter in New Orleans as to where these nuis-
ances Shall be located. It is stated that the
Port Commission had not yet designated the
localities, but indicates that proper localities
will be named in due course and that new dump
ing stations will be built at the designated
places and that the dumping of the garbage
into the river will be continued.
More than half Of the people of the city of
New Orleans and all of the people Of the Lower
Coast live below the proposed points of p0}lu-
ton. The great new refinery Of the American
Sugar Refining Co., which consumes thousands
Of tons of water daily, will get it's supply from
this polluted river and the two hundred and
fifty thousand people living below the present
intake of the waterworks will be forced victims
of this river pollution, insofar as they may be
compelled to use river water, and it is said that
it is on the cards now to compel the exclusive
use of the river water and the abolition of rain
water ~cisterns in the city.
Any way, it becomes us who are citizens of
the Parish Of Plaquemines, to protest against
this action on the part of the city of New Or
leans in dumping its garbage into the river and
to take such other action in the matter as may
be necessary to preserve the health of the par
ish against this barbarous practice.

Good Roads in Terrebonne Parish.

Good Roads in Terrebonne Parish.
The Parish of Terrebonne seems to be de-
sirous of being ranked among the most pro-
g~ressive of the state. At the June meeting of
the Police Jury it's finance committee submitted
the budget of expenses for the current year,
amounting to $37, 600 and including S., 500 for
roads, bridges and shells for public roads and
for the maintenance of drainage, which budget
was adopted and ordered advertised for the
usual thirty days. On August 3lst the Terre-
bonnie Police Jury passed an ordinance levying
a ten mill parish tax, Of which four mills will
be set aside for school purposes and six mills
for the current expenses of the parish, includ-
ing the appropriation hereinaboye stated for
roads. 1t is estimated that in this way they
will be able to apply directly to road improve
ment at least $4,000 per annum.
Until recently they have maintained the
Parish of Terrebonne the old fashioned way Of
requiring the riparian property owners, or those
fronting on the raads, to work the same, and
this has resulted there, as everywhere else, in
very poor roads. Doubtless the new system
will work much better, just as it has done with
the levee system, which never was under satis-
factory control until the legislature authorized
the creation of levee districts, with the power
Of taxation as granted in the constitution.
Apart from the move that they are now
making in Terrebonne in regard to this allot-
ment of funds for roads, is contemplated spe-
cial five mill road tax, to be determined by the
vote CT the people. The Parish Of Ierrebonne
is in somewhat the SAME plignt that we are in
the Parish of Plaquemines, but still they have
not the extended road lines that we have here,
comprising some two hunered niles. Terre-

THE UMPIRE DID 1T

In one of the closest and best
played games ever witnessed in
the valley, the Monte Vista ball
team beat Del Norte in this city
last Tuesday afternoon by score
of l to 0.
1T was pitchers battle from
start to finish, in which Under.
wood for Del Norte had the better
OF it slightly, but Kennedy for
Monte Vista got away with the
goods. Underwood allowed but
five hits, struck out eight men and
walked none. Kennedy allowed
seven hits, struck out four men
and walked one Each team made
two errors.
Win Graham handled the in.
dlcator during the game and in
his eagerness to be absolutely fair,
made three decisions that were
not correct. In the fifth inning he
called E. Cochran out at first on a
double play when the runner was
safe. In the seventh 0 Under
wood, with two men down, reached
second on Savage's wild throw to
first. E. Cochran hit fair down
the left foul line which scored
Underwood, but Win called it foul.
The hit was easily u foot and
half fair. Again in the last of the
ninth Doane was out at the plate
when Mcintosh dropped third
strike. He should have been the
third man out. These were mis-
takes, and coming at critical times
during the game, were serious.
They brought forth an avalanche
Of criticism, some of which was
uncalled for and unwarranted.-

DON'T WHIP A CHILD

Fathers and mothers, when YOU
whip your children you make them
hate you, and they have right to
hate you. You havn't the patience,
the intelligence, or the knowledge,
perhaps, to train your children
mentally, and SO resort to blows.
You havn't the character, per-
haps, to set them the right ex-
ample, and 50 you whip them for
doing the very things that they
SEQ You do with IMMUNITY.
Thousands of children are
whipped for telling lies, and they
have heard the father and mother
that whipped them tell lies openly
and with a laugh dozens of times.
Beating mover helped a child; it
always degrades a child's character
and dulls the child's brain.
Mothers and fathers that have
the brutal habit of child-beating
ought to keep before their eyes
the picture Of that unfortunate
little boy killing himself to escape
the brutality Of the mother that
borc him.-American.
