CARUTHERs FOR CONGRESS
wants to Debate With Percy 7. Ogden, and Is
In the Race to the Flnlsh...Just Returned
from Texas.

1t has been intimated that Percy
II. Ogden might become a candidate
for Pujo's seat in Congress and it is
understood that Mr.. Ogden's friends
have urged him to run, but The Sig
nal has understood that MIR. Ogden
has definitely decided some time since
to defer his possible candidacy until
some future time. The recent recur-
renee of the rumor has aroused an
other candidate, who blithely SHES
his castor into the ring and challenges
The young Acadia lawyer to joint de-
hate to a finish. The Signal is in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from the Honorable Prosper Caruthers
the statesman Of Marias Boulard, who
made a gallant but futile race for
sheriff two years ago:
Rayne, La, March Is, 1910.
Editor Crowley Signal, Crowley La.
Dear Sir: | see from the Daily
States Of 18th where Percy 7 Ogden
$ spoken of as a POSSIBLE candidate
Tor congress from this district. l
,eing a possable Candidate for the
same honors, / take these means to
Challenge Mr.. Ogden to a public de-
rate. to take place at Rayne, Crowley
pr Church Point within the next
thirty days.
Mr.. Ogden can select the subject
he prefers but / would like to debate
IN the subject of Democracy vs.. Can
lonism or Imperialism. Mr.. Ogden
& | have both been before the public
& each came out badly disfgured, but
till in the ring. This places us on
n equal footing politically speaking.
But | feel sure the peep will be with
ne in this race. Respectfully,
P. Caruthers.
Mr.. Caruthers has recently re-
turned from Texas. where he has
cen studying craftsmanship. He is
IN earnest advocate Of the wise Tex
IS law which provides that all hoteI
pedsheets shall be at least nine feet
ong and he is ready to defend this
style of bedsheet in the forum against
Wr. Ogden or any other candidate
for Congress.
The other candidates for Congress
h this district are Hon. Arsene T
Pujo, of Lake Charles, the present
Incumbent, who is serving his fourtl
erm, and Hon. William L. Polk o
Alexandria, who was defeated by Mr.
Puio two years ago. Neither .
.ese candidates has publicly de
Jared his attitude on the bedshee
question. Crowley Signal.

CLASSIFYING THE YOUNG
CHICKENS,

In nearly every instance Of chicken
rearing there are birds OF different
eyes. There will be weeks and some
times months between them. and to
bring them up in mixed lots is not
the best treatment they can receive.
IL is q kind Of process Of the sur
Vival of the tittest. as the older chicks
dominate the younger, and the latter
generally come off badly. They nave
to take d back position III ali things.
as the large and stronger select the
choicest and most of the foods and the
most favorable positions in the runs
and houses.
We often hear Of early chicks doing
Well and late ones not succeeding so
completely. This is wondered at and
few may attribute ii to the cause I
have pointed out, but il is very often
the case.
1t is a good plan to classify all
chickens as far AS possible according
to size and age, and bring them up
ia patches. This is 4 most successful
arrangement. and far more satisfac-
tory than mixed rearing.
The smaller chickens should always
have the best attentions in selection
OF the purest ground, the most shell
tered positions and the sunny spots.
Their food should be more adapted
for Juvenile requirements than that
required for the larger specimens. and
when all are about the same size, none
experience those aggressiols which Of
ten occur in the poultry yard and al
ways to the disadvantage Of the young
and weak.
In small yards each lot may be kept
in wired runs, but on the farm all
reauirementS are met admirably are
met admirably by placing h coops
or houses here and there in different
fields and positions some distance
apart.
How much better they all do by this
arrangement than any other, viii very
soon be gratifyingly apparently. r.

DON'T NIEIIS". THE ORCHARD.


No one thing seems more difficult
to impress upon the MINDS OF lne
farmer and fruit rover than the tact
that the richard like other "
crops needs care and culture and that
when neglected they will tell the sad
story. the same IS other farm cTops.
No crop Will repay are and cuitiVa-
ton better than an orchard and no
crop will suffer more by neglect. For
the first five or six years the trees
should be cultivated and after this a
system of cultivation; cover crops and
grasses may be introduced according
to the growth Of the trees and the
amount of the fruit produced.
On most soils there will be suffi-
cient natural fertility to produce a ia
Vorable growth of wood and | believe
that it will be more profitable to use
no fertilizer until after the trees be
gin 10 produce fruit. Some times
when the soil is deficient in available
plant God it may be an advantage 10
use a mineral fertilizer, but as a rule |
believe that better trees are grown
from the natural fertility Of the soil,
and that a better DOT system Is de
veIoped than when there IS manure
and commercial Fertilizers used TO
hasten the growth of the trees.
After the roots interlock each other
so hat they occupy all Of the soil,
they have utilized practically all OF
the available plant food in the soil
fruit they must be literally fortified.
The use of legumes as a source of
nitrogen and an incomplete fertilizer
rich in phOSphoric acid and potash is
the most efficient and economical
method of fertiliZing the orchard.

P. c. s, PLAY A
TIE GAME WITH
VISITING CLUB
NEITHER TEAM WAS ABLE TO
SCORE DURING THE GAME,
WHICH WAS EXCITING FROM
START TO FiNiSh-ONLY A
SMALL CROWD PRESENT,

The Pensacola Classical School met
the University Military School Of Mo-
bile in a very exciting and closely
played footabll game at Palmetto
Beach yesterday afternoon. The game
was completed without any score by
either side.
For the first time this fall the ,peo.
pie Of Pensacola had an opportunity
to see contest played under the new
rules. To old observers Of the game
the strangest change was a division
Of the game into four quarters instead
Of two halves. Both teams attempted,
with partial success, new plays, and
new varieties Of old playa made pos.
sible by . number Of further changes
in the rules. The play was rapid,
hard. enthusiastic and constantly illus
trated the quick changes in relative
advantage now so frequent.
The forward pass, OF which so much
has been expected this season. was
tried very few times, and only once
successfully. On that occasion Pensa-
cola used 1t for q short gain. The
Pensacola line was very often pierced
for short gains, but the wonderful
lacking Of Vinson, the Pensacola full
back. repeatedly stopped the Mobile
advance. In nine successive charges
by Mobile he stopped the runner. and
1t Is not too much to say that he thus
prevented more than one touchdown.
His punting was also excellent, and
more than once he booted the ball
over the heads OF all the opposing
backs. The only injury occurred in
the second quarter, when H. s. Rob-
erts, right tackle on Che Pensacola
eleven, received a severe blow on the
nose. He was retired, though later
he was ready to re-enter the game if
necessary. The playing Of Coleman,
Finch and Olsen was especially credit
able.
A peculiar military formation at
tempted by Mobile. was declared il,e-
gal by the referee, Capt. Lusher, Of
Mobile, and Curry. behind the visitors
line, played with special skill. Re.
peated gains through the Pensacola
back, Mcclure. Mayes, of Mobile, at
tempted field goal in the third, but
Pensacola here showed poor Judgment
by stopping the ball, instead Of allow
ing 1t to roll over the line. The ball
therefore had to be place din scrim-
mage close to the Pensacola goal,
when Pensacola might have had q free
kick from her 25-yard line.
Penalties we're extremely rare, and
the game was q clean one. List Of Of

2. The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture cannot be thrown out Of position.
8. Being an air cushion Of eoft rub
Der 1t clngs closely to the body, yet
never biisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads.
used in other trusses. It Is not cumber-
