BUTTER AND BUTTER SUBSTt.
; TUTES.

The great majority Of people ca
butter and much prefer it to any OF
the substitutes which have been put
upon the market However, q grea5
many people must use substitute ca
account of the high prices which PIE
vail during certain months OF the
year.
Olemargarihe is the most common
substitute for butter and millions Of
pounds Of this product are consumed
each year. The. difference il c..3- Of
production between oleomargariue e
and butter is so great that when but
ter is retailed at forty cents per
pound, oleonIar rgarine may be retail
ed at twenty cents per pourd ct as
great . profit to the dealer.
TIE person who chooses TO 1str-
chase the substitute should be a.
lowed to do SO and should be re24lr-
ed 70 pay only the price OF The sub
stiLate. The difference il price be-
tween the genuine product and the
substitute is so great that dealers are
tempted 10 sell the la ee .lor tie
formers. Only by zreqtiring that the
consumers may di&erentiate between
the substitute be insured.
This WAS contemplated by Con-
sress when the present internal reTe-
nue tax Of ten per pound was levied
upon ~artifcial1y c0torea oleomarga-
rine.' Many people think that all
oleomar rgarlne which is 'artiEciaIy
colored" 50 that the consumer can
not distinguish it from butter is the
only oIeon1argarine that is thus fixed.
n hen It is put upon the market in
It's natural color It is only taxed one-
fourth Of one cent per pound.
1t is only when the product Is
made to look like butter SO taat il
may be fraudulently sold as butter
that a burdensome tax IS imposed up
On ii. The imposition OF the tax is
NOS to SUPPRESS the sale of oieomaT-
garine or to make it more expensive
TO the consumer, hut TO prevent fraud
il its sale.-E. *. Slater, secretary

MARKETING OUR CORN CROP.

According to Government statis-
ties, Louisiana sold last year more
than 100000 bushels of corn, the
most OF which went to Texas. This
year Texas makes large corn crop,
and, therefore, Louisiana corn will
have to find another market, There
ale reasons to believe that all other
states are increasing their output Of
this cereal, and if Louisiana has corn
to sell it will have to go Europe.
The demands of the European
market are more eXacting than those
OF neighboring states. While large
amount OF corn was shipped to Texas
in the ear, such corn will have to
be shelled if it is exported. The for
ei5n market is not open to unshelled
corn. It seems, therefore, matter
CT great Importance that every COM
munity which will have corn to be
placed On the genearl market should
be provided with a corn shelter.
There are reasons to believe that un-
less q great many shelters are INSTALL
ed IN different sections of the state
there will be serious inconvenience
and congestion in the handling of
corn. It is needless to say that, be-
fore installing a shelter, one should
know approximately how much corn
he will be able to control. Farmers
must not expect to be able to dispose
OF their unshueked Or unshelled corn
except in supplying the local market.
Fer the export trade, New Orleans
will receive only shelled corn. The
better the grade, the cleaner and
brighter the corn, the more free from
Weevils, and the better the price will
be.
One of the greatest needs of the
Louisiana corn grower to-day is to
create a market for Louisiana corn.
Such corn is now an unknown guam
tity in the foreign market. What
must be done is to put good article
Oh the market and in sufficient guam
titles to command the respect of ex-
pofters and foreign buyers. In order
that this may be done successfully,
II is OF greater Importance to make a
name for Louisiana corn than it is to
get one or two cents more per bushel.
While we urge the creation of a
market for louisiana corn, we are not
OF the opinion that the best use to
be made Of our corn is selling it as a
cash crop. We believe, rather, that
Just as much corn should be retained
a. home as can pEofitably be used IN
feeding live stock, chiefly beef cattle
and hogs. Used in this way, corn
will bring much larger returns than
if placed on the market at So cents
or 55 cents perbushel.-

SELECTING SEED CORN IN THE

SELECTING SEED CORN In THE
There is no better way for the
farmer to spend a half day during
late August and early September
than. in selecting his seed corn in the
GeId for next years crop. 1t is safe
to say that the time thus spent will
pay him more than time given to
almost any other farm work.
There are many ways Of selecting
seed corn in the field. The follow
ing is the simplest, and should be
adopted by every corn grower in
Louisiana who has never tried to i'm
prove his own corn by careful selec-
ton:
Go to the field of corn out of which
you wish to save you seed; choose
the best part Of the field look for
good stalks with gbod ears, and mark
them with a red rag string. # your
corn is Of the large-eared variety,
every stalk should have at least one
good, large, sound ear if it IS a
prolific variety, no stalk should be
marked unless it has two or more
good ears.
Now, what is good stalk? It
should stand eight or ten feet high
be large at the base and tapering TO
the. top mot spinily;: lit should stand
erect, have good, brace roots, and
twelve to sixteen big, broad leaves;
it Should carry ears at a height of
from four to five feet, measuring
from the middle Of the. row to the
base Of the ear; the ears should
dToop at maturity; that is, the
shanks should be from six to eight
inches long. The farmer should
note particularly the length of the
shuck No ear should be marked
for seed, the tip CT which is not
fully and completely covered by the
shuck. No stalk should be marked
unless the ear o~ ears can be plainly
seen to ne of gaad size. The farmer
should mark t. stalks as explained
above as soon as possible.
Before the crop is gathered, he
Should carefully go through his field
and gather the best ear from every
stalk that has been marked. These
marked ears should be shucked and
kept free from weevils and away
from mice. Twice as many ears
should be selected as the farmer will
mead for seed the next year. During
the winter, this corn should be placed
on a. table and a careful selection
made, throwing out all the defective
ears and keeping only goods ears for
next years crop.

PROTECTING CORR FROM WEE


Have YOU. eEcr found your corn in
the late spring com mpletely eaten up
by the WeeyiIs in your bin? It is
safe to say that many hundred thous-
and dollars Of corn are annually con-
sUmed by weeyils. Yet every farmer
can easily wage q successful battle
against WeeYils, if his corn supply is
threatened with an invasion.
At the agricultural high schools a
special effort viii be made to fight
the enemies Of stored corn. The bin
will be rat proof viii be ceiled in
side, and have two wooden shutters
and door for receiving the com and
for ventilating it. If it is found
necessary to poison the weevils, this
Will be done By simply closing, for
twenty-four hours, the door and
shutters, after placing a sufficient
quantity Of carbon bisulphide (high
Hfe) in fat vessels above the corn.
Where there is danger Of damage
from the weeyil, the corn should not
5e stored IN the shuck, as this pro-
Eects the WeeFi1 against the action Of
the poison. About one pound Of
carbon bisuiphide thigh life) should
be used for each hunded bushels Of
corn. When using carbon bisulphide,
the greatest care should be taken not
to have a flame near, as it is explo-
siye. However careless we may be
as TO our general supply of corn.
none can aiferd to neglect his seed
corn for the next year. This supply
should come from ears carefully Sc
