Crop and Weather Notes.

And still it rains Just as were begin
ming to assure ourselves that the back
bone of the wet spell had been broken
and that the change in the moon had
been accompanied by change in the
weather, along comes series of steady
downpours and puts a crimp in our hopes,
besides knocking the spots out of our pre-
dictions and chasing us to the amateur
class as weather prophets and soothsayers.
Just because we happened to have cou-
pie of days dry weather on Friday and
Saturday of last week all of US immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that the
rains were about "all in" and that in the
absence of further moisture, a long dry
spell was in prospect. For just two
blessed, CHEEKY days were we permitted
to cherish this foolish delusion, and then
the next day it rained Not content
with inficting US with series of light
showers on Sunday and despatching more
of the same the following day, the
weather man handed US on Tuesday a
particularly sour lemon in the shape of a
penetrating drizzle which made its debut
early in the morning and continued prac-
ticaIly without interruption right up to
midday. To say that this last dose filled
our cup (and. everything else) to over
flowing, would be putting it mildly.
AS though having come TO a tardy regal
ization of the wickedness of his conduct,
however, the celestial weather dispenser
ordered the sun to shine unremittingly on
Wednesday and Thursday, and these two
bright days went far to alleviate the dis
tress and dispel the gloom created by
| Tuesdays doWnpour. With the usual
! propensity of we poor nlortals here below
Ito make the best Of d discourag sing siklia
thing. We are again coddling ourselves
into the belief that the rains are about
to cease, but at that nobody is found who
is willing to back his belief to the extent
of posting a modest wager of current coin.
Everybody is waiting to be shown.
Despite the unprecedented rainfall ofthe
past month, it is not believed that the
cane crop has been damaged to any ex-
tent, the only serious injury so far in
fiicted by the diurnal downpours having
been caused by the suspension Of work in
the fields and the consequent delay in
laying by the crop. AS for rice. it isre-
ported to be in fine shape and a nice
yield is anticipated. If the rains will
let-up for time and give the planters an
opportunity to wrestie with the weeds and
grass which have overrun the fields during
the wet period, all will yet be we'll with
the cane crop and a normal yield may
safely be counted on. Corn and pea-vines
have not been hurt.

Important to the Rice Industry.

DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, veterinarian of the
Louisiana State Experiment Station, has
just completed some important expert
ments with respect to the suitability and
safety of rough rice as a feed for horses
and mules He says:
Through the Rice Experiment Station
at Crowley La, this department procured
five sacks of ground rough rice for the
test. Rations for two mules were COM
pounded gradually increasing the amount
of rice at intervals until 8 pounds or
little over were fed to each mule per day.
This gradual increase in the rice in
eredieIlt of the ration was decided upon
as a matter of caution, and to watch the
deleterious effects, if any, during the pro-
cess of the test.
'"fhe ration was balanced to meet the
requirements of a mule weighing 1000
pounds, and doing medium. or moderately
heavy work, per day and consisted Of 8
pounds ground rough rice, II pounds COT
ton seed meal, A pounds mo. 4sses, and II
pounds lespedeza hay.
"The general health and condition OF
both mules were excellent throughout the
test, with the exception of one Or Two off
days due TO hot weather. In fact, the
mule which had been on the station for in
the neiehborhood of fifteen years had
never been known to be in such rugularly
good and uniform physical cond ion, The
other mule was a eomparativ iy recent
purchase.
/ Rough rice, when ground, AMI forming
one of the ingredients of a mixed ration
may be fed with safety and benefit tc
horses and mules.
THE other ingredients III the test ration
proved suitable to mix with the grounC
rough rice. although other available ma
terialS, if of the required composition tt
balance the ration, might be just as salts

By Advertising in Barometer of Local In

If member of your family died, would
you print the resolutions on billboard?
If your wife entertained, would you
send an account of it to the theatre pro-
gram man?
If you were going to enlarge your bust
ness, would you advertise it in a hotel

If you were going to have a wedding in
your family would you get out a handbill?
You would send such items to news

Then why don't you put your advertise
ments in newspaper?
Every man who uses billboard is add

Every dollar spent in theatre program,
in a register, in directory or in a hand

The newspapers build your town. Why
not help build up the newspapers? There
is no better advertisement in the world
for town than a newspaper. A news
paper is a barometer of the towns indus

Billboards are an eyesore; handbills are
nuisance; theatre programs are worth

Newspapers are town builders, town ad-

LORD SELBORN
ON THE NEGRO

Johannesburg. April lord
Seborne, speaking recently at a banquet
given by the Chamber of Mines, uttered
a warning against the unjust treatment
of the black races
He said the colored people varied in
character and characteristics exactly
as much as in external appearance, and
he believed the tendency to drive col
ored people down to the position of
kaffrs was unjust and unwise-unjust
because they often had the thoughts and
feelings of the white man, unwise be-
cause we must consider that one day we
might have to face a great concerted
movement of native races.
Lord Selborne prophesied that in the
event of such terrible catastrophe they
would find the leader of the native races
to be a colored man with the feelings.
character and superiority of the white
man, If they persisted in the tendency
to degrade the colored people to the con-
dition of the natives.
He considered that except where the
colored people had manifestly adopted
the habits and conditions of the natives

An HiatOric bell

Paris April 3o.-Few persons suspect
that in the cathedral church of Notre
Dame is a bell contemporaneous with
Joan of Arc-'the blessed bell which
sounded the tocsin when the maid of Lor
raine appeared in August, 1929. and Paris
was besieged by the English" This his
toric bell, referred to by Victor Hugo in
his "Notre Dame de Paris" was given
to the cathedral in 400 by Jean de Mon
taigne 1t was refounded in 1885, and
then rebaptised under the name of Eman-
ue Louise Therese, in honor of Louis
XIV. and Marie Therese of Austria. So
If this bell is not the same bell which
the heroine of Domremy heard, neverthe-
less the same metal vibrates today at the
great religious ceremonies of the Metro
politan church. In view of later events
it seems rather more than a coincidence
that when all the other bells of Notre
Dame were destroyed by the revolution
lists Joan's bell should have been spared
