Mrs. Geo. Nicholson, of 423 w Sb-

in an operation. Mrs. Nicholson, be-

The New Pig Club Movement.

In several parishes of the state the scope
OF the boys agricultural club work has
been expanded, and already several corn
club managers have arranged for the boys
{! to raise pigs and to hold a pig show in
\ the fall. Along this new line of work con-
siderable progress has been made in
Ouachita and Caddo parishes. Prof. l. w.
Carpenter of Calhoun reports 80 boys in
Ouachita raising pigs: and E. w. Jones of
Shreveport has about SO boys on his list
In Oaachita, the boys are required to raise
pure-bred pigs, registered or subject to reg
istration. In Caddo, the boys select their
I own pigs, either registered, grade or scrub.
The Ouaehita plan will be the means of
introducing, within a year or two, hun
dreds of pufe-bred hogs into the parish.
The Caddo plan will demonstrate to boys
and farmers that the razorback and scrub
cannot compete with the well-bred hog.
The Ouachita pig contest will take place
at Calhoun December /, 1911. At this
show, first, second and third premiums
will be offered for the following, to-wit:
! Best developed gifts s months or under;
best sows, with litters; best boars, 5
months or under; best barrows, 5 months
OF under; best spayed gilt, months or
under; best records kept of SOW and pigs;
best records of profits on one hog.
In niya,Ior hx, M-
it is stated that the 0uachita pig club has
been organized as result of belief that
north Louisiana is capable of becoming
one of the greatest hog-raising sections in
the world; and it is felt that no better
plan can be devised for promoting the
| hog industry than the addition Of this
| feature to the boys agricultural club
movement. This work should result in
spreading a great dealeof the most valua-
Bile information on the feeding, care and
management of growing pigs, and On
breeding. Mr.. Jones, in a letter to the
| boys, said: Y gu must feed and attend
your pig personally. The object of the
contest is to learn something about hogs,
and to see who can raise the best one in
nine months. More than $500 has been
subscribed in Caddo parish for premiums
10 the boys who are engaged in raising
corn and growing pigs. w. E. GasselI,
! known for his enterprise and interest in
! all phases of boys club work, has taken
very active part in raising funds for boys
premiums in Caddo
! One feature of the raising of pigs that
should appeal to the boys is the fact that
there is money in it. If boy can afford
Ito start out with a registered gilt and
breed her to a pure-bred boar of the same
breed, he should be able to sell the pigs
at fancy prices. In this work. the boys
| should be encouraged by their parents,
and not treated like the corn club boy who
| in 1903 was despoiled by his father of the
acre of land that he had labored for weeks
to clear and put in shape for cultivation.
If any boys IN parishes where no pig
club has been organized desire to under
take the raising of a pig, they are invited
to write TO Prof ". 1. Roy. Baton Rouge,
La, who will gladly render them any as
sistance he can Dept Agricultural Ex-
tension, Louisiana State University.

Needs, and sThen Some0-Agri-

A remarkably heavy rain fell through
out the greater portion of the parish last
Tuesday morning, the precipitation being
accompanied by a high wind and a bril-
liant electrical display The skies were
overcast with black, ferce-looking clouds.
and for time it was feared a tornado
was imminent, but apart from wrenching
limbs from trees and bowling over a few
insecure fences and sheds the blow passed
off without doing any serious damage.
The rain which followed was of tor
rental nature, and fields and roads were
completely flooded within short while.
The remainder of the week has been
clear and warm, and although rain has
threatened on several occasions. the i'm
pending downpours have not materialized
and the fields have been given "a chance
to absorb the surplus water with which
they have been drenched of late.
Except in few scattered localities, the
crops have had enough moisture for the
time being and are now in need of dry,
warm weather. Perhaps the most nota-
BILE exception to this almost general de-
mand is in the Belle Alliance neighbor-
hood. where the drouth is still practically
unbroken and the cane is actually in need
of rain. The various heavy downpours
with which Ascension and other parishes
IN the sugar belt have been favored
within the past few weeks have given
upper Assumption the "go-by, and
whereas it was impossible to do any
field work on the plantations hereabout
for W at least two days following the tor
rental downpour Of Tuesday, we are in
formed that in upper Assumption agricul-
tural operations have not been interrupted
in the slightest degree on account Of
weather conditions, except in 50 far as
pertains to the enforced abstinence from
work entailed by the recent prolonged dry
spell.
In striking contrast to the conditions iii
that section are those prevailing in St
James in the Vacherie neighborhood
where Tuesdays rain assumed the pro-
portion of flood, the fields being COW
cred with water to depth of several
inches. Ascension. lying between these
two extremes of meteorological ..harl
luck. seems to be faring particularly well
Just now at the hands of the. weather
man, having had neither too little nor too
much rain for the growing cane crop,
which is generally reported TO be in ex-
cellent condition throughout the parish.
Corn cotton and rice are also in tip-top
shape, and the agricultural outlook in
Ascension just at this time is considered
as being the most promising asin years.
The river continues I'd stand at an un-
usually low stage, the gauge reading at
this point being the lowest on record for
this season of the year in the past decade,
