A peculiar industry has grown up
along the coast during the summer and
it is conducted by boys. Yachts and
passenger steamers at anchor in the
harbors throw large number of bot
ties overheard and boys derive consid-
cradle revenue from their sale to junk
men. Some of the boys own their
boats and use them at low tide in col
lecting star fish which are dried and
sold to summer visitors for souvenirs

TAFT AT BATON ROUGE.
Will Be First President to Visit State
Capital.

Baton Rouge-President Taft will
stop at Baton Rouge some time in
October on his way down the Mis-
sissippi river from st. Louis to New
Orleans, to attend the Deep Water,
ways convention that is to be held
in that city.
This will be the first time in the
history of Baton Rouge that a presi-
dent of the United States has ever
visited the capital city of Louisiana.
Zachary Taylor was living in Baton
Rouge when he was elected to the
presidency, and left here to assume
this high office, but died shortly after
he assumed the position as head of

Reclaiming Valuable Marsh Lands.

Lake Charles-John Luizza and as
sociates of New Orleans have COM
pleted the purchase of $4,000 acres
OF fresh water marsh land lying north
OF White lake, the vendors being the
Orange Land company, and will i'm
mediately begin the work of draining
it. A canal twelve miles long will
be dredged to the lowest point at
White lake, and at this point a pump
ing plant will be located which can
be used either to pump the water in
to the lake or to pump water from
the lake into the canal, to be used
for irrigating rice or other crops, as
occasion may require. After it is re-
claimed the land will be divided into
farms and sold. This is the first ex-
tensive drainage of marsh land yet
undertaken in western Louisiana, al
though several other projects are
talked of.

Three Crops Each Year.

Mansfeld.-The more progressive
farmers in this section are too busy
harvesting three crops a year TO be
bothered about the boil weevil. As
an illustration is noted the result on
the farm of Mr.. T. Rasc0e, one mile
from town, this year. In February
he planted a crop of Irish potatoes
and gathered sixty-five bushels per
acre, which he sold for s1.05 per
bushel. He then planted the same
land in peas, and has gathered four
tons of pea hay per acre, worth SIS
per ton, adding another $50 per acre
to the proceeds of the same ground,
and he has planted it again in Irish
potatoes for a fall crop, with a rea-
sonable certainty that this third crop
will produce as good results as did
the two first crops He has already
produced crops worth $120 per acre.
and if the fall crop of potatoes does
as we'll he will add another SEQ per
acre to the value of the produce of
the some ground in one year. All
this is on land assessed at 81 per
acre. .rr..

Anent the School Question.

Mansfeld,-The demand for teach
ers for the public schools of this
state exceeds the supply, and two of
the principals of the high schools of
this parish have resigned to accept
positions that carry a higher salary
at other places. AS the time for
opening the public school draws near
this matter is giving the public au-
thorities much annoyance. The head
of another school has failed to notify
the parish superintendent of his &C
ceptance of the place to which he
was elected, although he had solicit
ed the same. Parish Superintendent
Cummins thinks that he will be able
to supply all the vacancies, but this
distressing condition of things en-
phasizes the fact that the parishes
should send beneficiary students to
the State Normal school, as the de.
mand for trained teachers is rapidly
increasing, and community cannot
have high grade schools without high
grade teachers.

cotton was in any of the cages. mus
the weevils were deprived of all 1000

likewise have been deprived OF food
"A cage of this kind was started
once week, from September 70 10
December 81, with freshly collected
weevils from the cotton fields
THE figures obtained are so con-
vincing that it is beyond comprehen'
sion that any farmer should continue
trying to grow cotton without pick
ing out his crop early and completely
destroying the cotton plants-stalks,
leaves, bolls and roots-long before
the first autumn frost.
OBSTRUCTION Of the cotton plants

good crop by the use of proper early
maturing varieties, and by the adop-
ton of the intense cultural methods.
