ALL OVER LOUISIANA
POLICE JURY ASKED TO APPOINT
 ANOTHER SUBAGENT.
Bulletins of Department Are Beneficial and Effort is Made to Extend
 Scope.

Lafavette.-United States Agent l.. E. Perrin has submitted a proposition to the police jury providing for the appointment of another subagent in Lafavette parish to take charge of az ricultural demonstration work. If the iurv appropriates, say $200, this amount will be supplemental by pri- vate funds and an enterprisng farmer employed to direct the operation of the department in the northwestern sec tion of the parish. The work done by the present subagent, Victoria CotiauX
 in the southern part of the parish, has been very satisfactory, and much ha' been done to improve cultural condl- tions there of 23 cotton farms. MT
 Clotiaux s report for the past year shows one farm a gain of 300 per cent; three showed 100 per cent; seven n per cent, : 40 per cent and the remain der from 10 to p per cent gain over crops in similar land, under ordinary cultivation. In corn, 22 demonstra- tions showed 9 to 100 per cent better yields than under the usual careless methods of cultivation. About 40 CO., operating farmers also found great as sistance from suggestions and bulle- tins of the department. Besides this work, Mr. Perrin has supervised opera tions on a small demonstration farm at the Lafayette Industrial Institute, which has paid all expenses during the past year, and has afforded an excel lent object lesson for the farmers of the entire parish. c. N. ThibodeauX. who has had charge of this farm, has resigned, but a new man will be cm- ploved to replace him February l. The United States government assists Tn the payment of running expenses and besides furnishes teams and imple- ments. The state also defrays DOT
 tion of current expenses The good re- suits of these efforts to raise the stand ard of cultural methods and show the advantages of systematic and scientific farming operations are already appar- ent and many farmers instead of buy ing hay and corn, have sold good surplus. The corn market especially opened up by 0. B. with the Warden haumen Lumber Company, has proved a source of timely revenue to farmers. who were unable to raise cotton. A very large proportion of the excellent corn 0op has been sold at good prices at this and other points along the rail road. much going to Texas and points west. Some has been shipped in ear in bulk, while much has been shelled.

Farmers Demonstration.

Baton Rouge.-The authorities ot the Louisiana state University made great arrangements for the farmers demonstration conference, which opened here on Monday, he 10tn inst, and will continue through to the 22d. A large number of inquiries have come from planters and larn CTS in all parts of the state. and from the number of those wko have already signified their intention 10 be present, there are prospects of very fair attendance.
 The university people nave left nothing undone that would add to the interest and value of this conference to those who avail themselves of i5. Similar conferences have Eroven of immense benefit, and are largely at tended, running up into the thous- ands, in some of the northern ana western states, and there is no good reason why the farmers, old and young, of Louisiana, should not ob- tain from their universities mut. benefit as the progressive farmers in other states do from theirs along az ricultural and live stock lines.

Several farmers cndeavor- ed to nurse them back to life as an experiment test, but declare it is positive fact that they are all dead As this is the case in the protected places they inhabited, it stands to reason those in the open fields hay

New Readinq.

The light that lies in polar skies
 Has been my calm's undoing With boreal glare I've done my share Of woven fabric chewing. My only books were Doctor Cooks
 And now that I am weary I'm one that gleans the magazines
 For thrilling words from Peary.
 Of shaving soaps and straps and ropes He gives me good advisement; To razor strops and sweet gumdrops He signs an advertisement, The joys of guns and patent buns
 Were never comprehended Until l read just what he said
 When them he recommended Page after page of letters sage
 I've given my perusal, I've read of mems good fountain pens He'd not give his refusal Of underwear and folding chair
 And outfits photographic I've read until l know l will
 Be fit for polar traffic. CollapSing boats and overcoats
 And bottles that won't trickle- l will not say but what one day
 He rode some ones bicycle. Page after page with dying rage
 Against this arctic hero I've read of puffs of handy stuffs
 For forty below zero. Goods for his ship goods for his trip An, there is no disgusting That sweets the use of plain abuse But sweeter. advertising. No more l care how people fare
 Where it's eternal winter Upon my soul l wish the pole

Morgan, now the director of the experiment stations of Tennessee. Mr. Newell has been very energetic worker, and has accomplished much good in Louisiana. His departure will be a distinct loss to the state. His recent publication on arsenate of lead for poisoning the boil weevil has attract ed a great deal of attention.
 MT Neville will be succeeded by MT. J. B. Garrett, now assistant d- rector of the experiment station at Calhoun, La. Mr. Garrett is a grad uate of the Louisiana State Universi- ty and was for several years assisl- ant entomologist of the Crop Pc Commission.

It was during this fight that it was first dis covered that the boil weeNi would fly for long distances, when during the migration period, they failed to find food plants

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
PHYSICIANS Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here Ee Was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
ton in the medical world is the aSser-
ton of doctor that he is able, by
looking into patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis Of the complaint
which the patient Is suffering. But Is
this really as novel as 1t is supposed
to be? recolect hearing some time
ago Of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: Il can
see by the appearance Of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver u"
