House Committee Must
Make Decision Before Con
sidering Humphrey Plan,

II was necessary for the House Com
mlttee on Rules, known as Speaker
CannOu's steering committee, TO bring
in a special rule, before the Jones Hum
phrey joint resolution for an investiga-
ton Of the BaIIinger-Pinchot ~contrO-
versy could be considered today in the
lower house.
As soon a. the reading Of the Presi-
dents message was finished, Represen-
tattve DalzeH. chairman OF the Rules
Committee brought IL a special TIie
providing for the immediate cOusidcTa-
tior Of the resolution
This was rendered necessary because
otherwise the resolution would have TO
take its place on the calendar Of the
House. even though favorabIy reported

Speaker Cannon made an explanation

nous consent DAYS. Mondays OF every
other week
some one asked the Speaker II the
resolution had, therefore, been put on
the unanimous consent calendar and he
thought that this would probably not
be necessary.

soon as DalzslI had brought IN his ESQ

Rice in Arkansas.

NOTWITHSTANDING the immense amount of
rice still on hand and the comparatively low
prices, there seems to be a disposition in the
State of Arkansas to engage in the culture more
generally than ever. 1t was reported last year
that Is, 600 acres of land were in rice in Arkan-
sas and that five rice mills were in course of
construction. 1t is now reported that the acre.
age will be doubled and some parties anticipate
even a greater increase. To be more exact, in
figures the acreage of 1909 was rated at $4,000
and these more sanguine correspondents expect
that 60, 600 acres will be in rice there this sea-
son. ~
The distribution of the rice on hand is going
on with reasonable rapidity and the trade is be-
ginning to have more confidence in the practical
consumption of the entire crop of 1909 before
1910 comes in the way. Our rice planters in
the Parish of Plaquemines were greatly dis
outraged by the adverse results of the last
year, including the climaxing September storm.
At the same time many Of them are resuming
the culture again this. season, with hopes that
no such untoward disasters as those of last year
will befall them.
Lower coast gazette., 1910-03-12
Imports of Rice.

THE imports of rice into the
United States for the twelve
months ending December 81.
were l13, 900 short tons, valued
at $4, 500, OCO. This rice was made
up of "A. 900 short tons OF ordl-
nary rice and the rest, 69.0OO
short tons. comes in as rice flour,
rice meal and broken rice and IS
the bette noir of the rice planters
of the United States. The i'm
ports for this last year were
about 1000 short tons more than
for the previous year and ll,OOO
short tons more than for the
year 1907.

OuaChita Hogs.

A STEAMBOAT came into New Orleans few
days ago with a thousand hogs aboard brought
out of the Red River country and chiefly from
the Parish of Ouachita. The hogs found a ready
market in New Orleans and were promptly
transferred from the steamboat at the wharf to
the stock ferry boat and taken down to the
stock landing and they were thus rapid
ly disposed of. There is a constant market in
New Orleans for hogs and it ought to be one of
the staple articles of our South Louisiana agri-
cultural productions. Ten cents a pound live
weight for hogs is certainly far better thar four
cents a pound for sugar, or three cents a pound
for rice. 1t takes a long time, however, to
change from one industry to another and it is
only by keeping everlastingly at it and endeav-
oring to solve the problems that we can finally
bring ourselves to these new cultures.

or otherwise. The situation is becoming very
serious and we shall hope that our great republic
will be able to purge itself without such horrors
as beset the French In their terrible revolution
one hundred and seventeen years ago.

Decoy Boxes to Destroy Argentine
Ants.

EDITOR LOWER COAST GAZETTE:
We wish to advise the numerous peo-
pie on the Lower Coast engaged in the
culture of growing oranges and other
truck that are infected by the ants that
are now prevailing in such large guam
titles on our Lower Coast, that we have
made a practical demonstration at Ra-
venswood Orange Farm of the
decoy boxes to trap these
ants such as was recommended and
described by the Government Expert
ment Station at Baton Rouge, La. We
are now demonstrating these boxes and
they have proven st successful that We
wish il generally known and want to
recommend the use Of these decoy
boxes to exterminate this pest. This
can easily be done with the assistance
of everyone concerned and or all or
chards infected by the ants.
Any simple ordinary closed box Will
do for the decoy and a high spot must
be selected, on this spot should be
placed a bunch of rubbish, old pieces OF
wood or ever hay, and the box placed
above this pile Of rubbish upside down
which makes the inside warm and pro-
tects these insects from the elements,
they Immediately start for these boxes
and in a few days the box is just as
full of ants as it can possibly be as we'll
as every particle OF rubbish OF hay that
is placed under the box. This makes
the determination Of the insects very
easy and it is a simple matter to de-
strov them after having them III one
place. Anyone doubling that the ex-
pertinent is beneficial can see the demon
stration daily at Ravenswood Orange
Farm and we hope to have the com
bined assistance Of all the growers on
the Lower Coast, and feel sure that in
q very short time We a wipe out this
pest. 1t can only be done. however,
:by continued and constant work and
with the assistance Of everyone inter-
ested.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN MEYER.
