NO CHILD LABOR
In West Virginia is the AS
sertion of the State Labor
Commissioner.

There is no such thing as child la
Dor in West Virginia" Such state
ment may seem exaggerated but in the
face OF facts and figures given out by
State Labor Commissioner 1. v. Bar
ton, It Is proved to be positive fact.
Mr.. Parton, to make his statement
clear entered into an explanation. Said
he: THE law in West Virginia pro-
vides that no child under IA years of
age shall be put to work for wages.
Now the only Industry in West vlr-
ginia that has any use for boys under
this age is the flint glass business. Adj
vances in invention have now made it
unnecessary to employ children in
many instances. To comply with the
law many of such machines have been
installed and older men haye been
employed in positions formerly held
by boys. think there are very few
cases in the state which may be men
toned as exceptions. In Wheeling
there are couple of boys under IA
employed in glass houses but these
are orphans and the law makes an ex-
ception of them.
The window glass manufacturers
do not employ any children at all.
Child labor has disappeared from the
coal fields. In fact, should say that
in all West Virginia there are some
thing fewer than 200 boys under 1G
years of age employed. Under IA 1
think there are seven.
Child labor is decreasing in all
states but don't think the decrease
In any state has been so rapid as in
West Virginia. 1t might be said that
West Virginia knows no such thing as
child labor"

on the lots by the company and
purchasers will be required to

LETTER FROM PROF. ROY.


Baton Rouge. March 81, 1910.
Editor ST. Iamn nan Far Farmer h.,o thu r -
the Boys Corn Club and approaching the efforts you
are putting forth in encouragement of their work,
permit me- through your columns, again to urge the
Importance of right cultivation in growing corn.
Few understand how much this means to the State.
conservative estimate made recently by of the
pest informed experts in the State puts the loss to
our 1909 corn crop in Louisiana due to insufficient or
improper cultivation at TO- 900 bushels in other
words, this gentlemen believes that, with proper
cultivation, should have made last year more than
81, OOO,0O0 bushels of corn That would have in
creased the value of our corn crop by more than
SIS, 600, 900.
The great essential in the cultivation of corn and
many other crops is keeping fine mulch throughout
the growing season. The main purpose Of this is to
retain all available capillary moisture for the OF
the crop. While we must by drainage rid our land
of free water, we must conserve the capillary
water. The soil mulch does this. crust on the
land durnf dry spell is frequently fatal to the crop.
Such crust is formed generally by rains when they
are not followed by immediate cultivation. Rain
tablishes capillary hair like channels, and through
these moisture is drawn up to the surface where
turned to water vapor by the and blown away
by the wind. Cultivation with the harrow and light
cutivator breaks up the hair-ke tubes, and covers
the land with mantel of broken, loose dry soil,
called mulch This blanket of loose soil holds the
moisture in. This mulch should should not be more
than two inches Deep for below that point roots
are found which should not BE disturbed.
During dry spell also the capillary tubes are es-
tablished by settling of the soil particles Hence,
even though the land seems to have mulch during
dry spell, ought to run over the field with the
cutvator or harrow at least every ten days to re-
store the mulch.
Another advantage Of the mulch lies in the fact
that all small showers taken in by the soil
count of its loose condition, while such moisture
would be partly lost if the soil had crust.
We must realize once for all that we not grow
large crops of with or two CIVILIZATIONS The
crop will always than pay for every added cul
tivation given to it. Cordially,
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-03-26

DlED-n Covnoon March Jacques Peoat, aged
years a'native of Bayonne, Bases Pyrenees France.
Mr.. Peloat landed in New Orleans in 1868, and
secured his first employment with Mr.. Dulion father
of Marshal Duon, through influence of Mr.. Capdau,
New Orleans druggist, and Mr.. John Labat. Of
Abita Springs. He afterwards went into the butcher
business, frugal and careful in his savings and
accumulated enough to invest in land and other hold
ings which greatly increased in value. He was
schrewd and of good judgment and seldom made a
mistake in business matters.
Jacques Pelloat's death has brought out many sur
misses and He is estimated to be worth from
$780, 900 to $500, 00O and it supposed that he was
unmarried and that the property would go to rela-
tives we'll known if this community. His most init
mate friends were unprepared for the announcement
of Mrs Lily Gale Williams, of New Orleans, that
she the lawful wife of Mr.. Peloat having been
married to him by Rev. Thos. Lorente in ST. An
thony Church, New Orleans. October Z, 1909, at 8
O'Clock a. Her marriage certificate and papers
to be authentic and it is also understood that
she has will declared be the last testament of
Mr.. Pelloat
Mrs. Williams is the daughter of Jacob Gale,
former owner of the Pelican Shpyards at Madison
vile, and for nineteen years lived in Madisonville
with her mother and two sisters.
Mr. Peloat is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Fecine
Peyre, of Covington, and Mrs. Pascalne Christina
Blanchine, of Oloron, France, brother Peter
Pelloat of Mandsonville nephew and three neices.
The funeral took place in Covington Wednesday.
Rev. JOS Koeger officiating. The pallbearers were:
A. j. blanche, Albert Perbos, Paptista Blanchine,
