OBSERVER REVIEWS STATEMENT.

ut. Martinvills. La, Aug. %, 1911.
To the Editor of tho Messenger:
We have before US . statement
purportiDg to DO the annual report
of the schools of this parish. On
glanciug at the column of disburse-
ments, the first item that chal-
lsngss notice is the "expense" of
principals to Il. 3. Convention
Alexandria, La, $2965. Tho
school funds Of this parish are
supposed to DO levied for the ben
eft and education OF the school
children Of this community and
not for tho rsgslement of princi-
pals at any convention. Further
down the column there are noticed
several items punched together
under ono expense account, viz:
Salary OF superintendent, and as
sistant, Office expense, rent, pos
tags, printing supplies, travelling
expenses etc, $2,282 If. This part
of the statement is unintslligibls,
for the reason, that the reader
does not know what percentage of
this amount is to be attributed to
zach Of the several items. If one
will turn to the superintendent
quarterly report published on an
other part of tho newspaper which
announces this statement, he will
easily perceive what this officials
salary is. Hitherto many of the
superintendent of this parish had
efficiently performed the duties OF
this Office on a salary less than
one fifth of that Of the present &C.

parish DO called upon to pay this
high salary to it's superintendent:

TO TRY COTTON AND
TOBACCO IN VALLEY

Las Cruces. N NJ, March 23.-R. IL
Sims, receiver of the Las Cruces Idnd
office. who has requested delegate VI.
H. Andrews to send a bushel of cotton
seed to him for distribution, already
has the seed spoken for by ranchers
who are prepared to make thorough
test with this crop in the Mesilla val
ley. Two years ago, d. A. Dreamer
picked up handful of seed from a
carload of cotton which was being
shipped over the Santa Fe railroad and
planted them, having enough for a
row about 10 feet long. Every hill
produced. a vigorous plant and he
picked enough cotton from this one
row to fill so pound flour sack. He
planted this seed on the 18th of May
and the crop matured before frost.
This would indicate that with earlier
planting the crop could be made one
of the staples of the valley.
Another crop which will be expert
mented with here this year Is Ito
bacco, William Dessauer having Sc
cured a quantity of seed from Mexico
which he has planted and which he Will
study carefully so as to determine its
value in relation to the other crops
commonly grown here. If his trial plat
proves to be productive of good
quality of merchantable tobacco there
will be a number of acres planted next
year.
