Approach of Decision DaY.

Approach of Decision Day.
1t remains for the people of
Louisiana to determine at the polls
two weeks, whether or not there
shall be q great international eX
position held in the City Of New
Orleans in 1915. If the people of
the State refuse to back up New
Orleans in her efforts to qualify
for Congressional recognition as
the Exposition City there will be
an end Of the matter and the
greatest opportunity that has ever
come our way will pass us by.
1t cannot be impressed too
strongly upon the public mind that
the voters have it in their power
to give New Orleans a winning
chance in the fight before Congress,
or to settle, the matter finally and
definitely in favor of San Francisco.
Congress will not award the Elk.
position to New Orleans unless the
people show at the polls that they
want it. New Orleans will vote
overwhelmingly for the tax, but
an adverse majority in the country
parishes, even though that major
ity should be overcome by the city
vote, will, by indicating dissensions
on the subject among our own peo-
pie, invite Congress to decide un-
favorably to the Southern Metro.
polls. A small vote in the country
even should it be favorable, would
be dangerous; for Congress is not
likely to force a great Exposition
upon a people who are unwilling
or Indifferent.
The South and middle West are
waiting to see what the people of
Louisiana propose to do in this
matter. Sentiment throughout
those States is practically unani-
nous in our favor, and to them the
suggestion that there is opposition
in Louisiana to the in.
significant tax proposed is incon-
ceivable.
All through the Mississippi Val,
ley and across to the Atlantic the
people want the Exposition to be
held in New Orleans, because, they
say, it will benefit their respective
sections. That it will turn the eyes
Of the world to the great valley of
The Mississippi and stimulate every
interest, there can be no sort of
doubt. That it will do more for
Louisiana than for any other state
IS equally undeniablp.
AS has been pointed out, the tax
Is SO insignificant that it is impos-
sible for it to furnish an honest
oasis for opposition to amendments
1umber One and Two on the Ofd.
,ial Ballot. When a dozen eggs
will pay the tax on a thousand
dollar assessment it is puerile to
speak oft as a burden even to the
poorest farmer.
In the preparation Of this Ex-
position nations, states, corpora.
ions and individuals outside Of
louisiana 9 will put in five dollars
or every one we spend on il, and

and it is imperative to emphasize
the fact that a vote against the
two exposition amendments is
tantamount to a vote in favor of
locating the exposition at San
Francisco.

The garden next spring will de-
pend very largely upon the man
ner in which the soil is prepared

the garden soil any longer. All
vegetable matter Incorporated in
the soil will decompose under the

be present as humus next spring;
it is greatly needed. Sow rye,

The purity Of country society
should be demanded by every fam.
lily in the community. When the
moral and social ethics of the COM
munity are violated, the offenders
should be notified that these acts
will not be tolerated. Each indi-
vidual shoald feel responsible for
the welfare of society aud should
help correct evils wherever they
exist.

Farms Follow Saw Mills.

Mason Snowden, assistant to the
State agent Of the Farmers Co.
operative Demonstration Work in
this section, has returned from a
visit to the Sabine Parish Fair and
to the Boys Corn Club contest of
Vernon Parish, which took place
at Leesville.
"The Sabine Fair was a success. y
said Mr.. Snowden, .and one Of the
features Of this fair is that it is one
of the timber parishes, and the
agricultural display shows that the
farmers are awakening to the fact
that farms must follow the saw.
mill, and that they must make use
of the cut-oyer lands, which the
mill leaves in its wake. Vernon
lis another parish that is showing
that the people are awake to the
necessity of the corn, cotton, and
other plants taking the place Of
the pine tree as a money maker.0
!
An old farm is not necessarily a
poor farm. There are farms in
Europe that have been cultivated
for 1850 years and they are produc.
ing larger crops than when first
brought under cultivation. Old
farms should be rich farms, because
there is ample time for building
them up.
