PLANTS MADE TO ORDER.
Hadium Rays Are Tried to Create New
Varieties of Flora.


Varieties of Flora.
Plants in the future may be made to
order, according to Professor c. Stuart
eager Of the College of Agriculture,
who for the last two years has been
experimenting with radium in the ag-
ricultural laboratories of the Univer-
sity Of Missouri, at Columbia, Mo.
An entirely new species Of primrose
has been originated by the use of ra-
dunn, and it has held true to the new
form through three generations of the
plant. The color of the flower was
changed and the leaves changed from
broad to narrow. In addition to Gre
ating new species it is possible either
to accelerate or retard the growth of
seeds and plants by exposing them to
the action Of the radium rays.

CalcaSieu Corn Equal to ANY.

A few years ago it was thorough
believed that corn could not be raised
successfully in this section of the state.
Last year few of our planters exper-
imented with few small patches.
with the result that it was proven that
fair sample could be produced.
This year practically every planter
has at least small patch. And as
the corn begins to ripen even the plant
ers themselves are astonished at the
splendid yield that their experiments
are making. A number of excellent
samples have been brought into town,
but it remained for Mr.. Sullivan,
living a mile and half north of town,
to cap the climax as far as big corn
goes in this locality, so far. He
brought in about dozen ears this
week that measured from ten and q
MALT to eleven inches long and from
seven to ten inches in circumference,
and were we'll filled with sound, deep
kernels MIR. Sullivan says he raised
this corn on land that had been clay
ing out" for several years, and that
ne did not use any fertilizer. Corn,
such as he brought in here, would be
an honor to this or any country.

According to the findings Of the
State Board of Equalization, which
has just completed it's work, the total
assessed valuation Of the state is SOL
8O3,G2l as against 1918, 1872, l75 for
last year, showing net increase OF
50, III, 446 during the year. The total
increase in the States assessment
during the present administration is
but little in excess Of $l4,000,000 as
compared with al increase of Sl7I ,0O0-
600 during Blanchard's administration
and an increase of over $68, 100000
during Heard's administration. While
this practical stagnation in the in
crease Of the wealth OF the state, may
be attributed to certain we'll defined
causes, chief among which is the rap
id denudation Of the timber lands Of
the state, there has been little or no
effort put forth by the recent admin
istration to develop or increase any
of the other sources of revenue which
are being utilized by other states.
While the states revenues have been
practically at a stand-still during the
present administration, it has not
been 50 with her expenses. They have
Increased by leaps and bounds, I'M
til the present administration will
have expended $4,000, 900 more than
the Blanchard and $4,000, 900 more
than the Heard administration. In
other words. while the increase in
taxable wealth of the state has in
creased but $l4,00O,000 during the
present administration, the states
expenditures have increased So, 900, 900
over the last administration and So
100000 over the administration preced-
ing that. And this too, with no part of
the present heavy expenditure having
gone towards retiring the state debt.
With these conditions staring them in
the face, Is it not time that the taN1
PAYERS of Louisiana, should demand
3 more conservative expenditure OF
the states funds? Since we have
conservation committees to look after
practically everything under the sun,
why not elect one, consisting of Il
governor, who places the welfare of
the state above political ambitions,
and legislature, whose members ac
knowledge allegiance to the community
that elects them, rather than to polit-
lcal demagogue, whose business will
be the care and conservation of the
resources paid into the public treas
nry by the taxpayers of the state?

Signal Clothing Stores Great Sale
Drawing Immense Crowds.

Seldom in the history OF Welsh, has
any store been able to draw the I'M
mense crowds that have been filing
the Signal Clothing Store since they
put on their Mill End and Factory
Syndicate Sale, last Saturday.
This sale was well advertised, both
by posters and through the Journal.
A large crowd Of bargain hunters
were on hand some time before the
doors opened Saturday morning, i'm
mediately following which, the store
was filed to its utmost capacity.
Aside from the many prizes that are
given away daily, and the ten free
dress patterns that were given away
the opening morning, Mr.. Gerson is
cutting prices SO that his customers
feel they are getting genuine bargains.
The great rush did not cease with the
opening day. but has continued
throughout the week.
This sale las not only been a bene-
fit to the Signal store, but has brought
additional trade to other stores, bv
bringing number of people from a
distance, into town.
Mr.. Gerson says he is highly pleased
with the results of the sale, so far,
and intends to make tomorrow the
greatest day of the sale.
Immediately following the closing
of the sale, Mr.. GersOn expects to
start for New York, where he will
spend some time selecting the large
stock of goods with which he intends
to stock his new store, the building of
which, is now being erected.
