THE ROCK ISLAND EXHIBIT CAR.

An agricultural exhibit car, desig-
mated as '"The Diversified Farming
and Boys Corn Club Car" was oper-
ated by the college OF agriculture of
the Louisiana State University on the
Louisiana line of the Rock Island
Railway from March / 5 to 80, 1911.
The car was furnished by the Rock
Island and transported free of
charge. The equipment was furnish
ed by the college, and consisted OF
forage crops, exhibits of twelve lead
ing varieties of corn grown in the
State, seeds of all plants specially
adapted to the raising of live stock,
jars containing SCOT systems with
nitrogen gathering nodules OF the
clovers, exhibits of organs showing
LESSONS of hog cholera and bovine tu-
berculosis, samples of hog worms,
mounted specimens OF insects inJuri-
GUS to crops, trees and animals,
samples of rice, rice and corn prod
ucts, and fertilizers. The car was
decorated with instructive photo
graphs of the leading breeds of hogs,
dairy and beef cattle, diaries, port
able fences, corn, breeding work,
gatherings at the winter farmers
short course, views of the University,
etc.
The car made fourteen stops,
spending a day at each place. Visitors
to the cars had the entire exhibit
explained, and meetings of farmers
were held at each point and lectures
were delivered by members OF the
college staff and representatives OF
the Farmers Demonstration Work
Special talks were made to the boys
of the corn clubs, and boys pig CLUBS
! were organized at Mamou, Pine
Prairie, LeCompte, Lamourie, Winn
field, Dodson, Joseboro, Quitman, Rus
ton, Dubach, Bernice and Lille. INT
total mem bership of the pig clup'
organized on the route is 145. Thos'
who accompanied the car and lectur
ed are Profs. w. r. Dodson, V. L
Roy, R. C. Howell, ]. B. Garrett, S
E.. McClendon and Messrs. L. E. Fer
rim and Mason Snowden of the Farm

The operation of this car is regard
ed as an unqualified success. Will

operated in Rebruary-the total at

that it will prove to be of more sui

WHAT THE FARMERS DEMON.
STRATION WORK is DOING
FOR LOUISIANA.

Probably very few people realize
what a vast amount of good IS be-
ing done in our State through the
agency of the Farmers COOPERATIVE
Demonstration Work of the U. 5.
Department of Agriculture, under
the direction of Mr.. j. A. Evans,
State Agent, and his assistant, MI
Mason Snowden. The local agents
secure the cooperation of farmers,
to whom they give the instructions
of the department on their monthly
rounds. The following data, taken
from a letter received from MI.
Snowden, make clear the vast signiti-
canoe of the work.
The demonstration work in l9lo
in Louisiana had 1870 cotton demon
strators, who cultivated 1888 acres
in cotton. The average production
! per acre, including all types OF LOU
isiana soils, was 781 pounds OF SEED
1 cotton. while the general average for
the State was only $50 pounds. This
| means that if every acre of land
| planted to cotton here last year had
been planted and cultivated accord
ing to demonstration methods, our
]; cotton crop would have been about
$4,000 bales, and the increase In
value on basis of $50 per bale
including the seed, would have bee:
more than $2O,000,000. The liz
corn demonstrators, cultivating 949,
acres, obtained an average yield O.
35.2 bushels per acre, which is 5O
ner cent more than the average o
the State. Had all the farmers mad
, as much corn per acre as did TN
, demonstrators, Louisiana's corn Gro
for 1910 would have been SS,0OO,0o'
bushels instead of 58,835,0O'
hushels. Apart from the demonstra

RAPID AND INTENSIVE CULW-
WALTON.

At the present stage of the corn
crop of Louisiana, and during the
next two months in The growth of
cotton, nothing will contribute more
to good yields than frequent shallow
cultivation. It requires less work to
run over plot twice with the harrow
and once with the cultivator than it
does to have to off-bar the crop, hoe
it out, and throw a furrow to the
plant. Weeds are easiest kept down
by being destroyed when they first
come up. Shallow, but frequent, cul-
tivation does this; and he first cult
vation required is narrowing before
the crop comes up and again week
later, and again third time. This
iiisures better crops and means great
er profits to the farmer. 1t is need
less to add that the farmer who uses
a two-row cultivator with two horses,
riding instead of walking, salves
labor to himself, saves money, &C
complishes more work and enjoys
life more than he would by wasting
his time walking behind little one
horse implement. More team work
and relatively less human labor is
one of our great needs.

TALKING OF DAWSON
FOR NORTON'S PLACE
Iowa Representative Now
Believed Slated for the
Secretaryship.

Conferences yesterday and today
between the President and Repre-
sentative Dawson of Iowa have re-
newed the report that the latter will
be chosen to succeed Charles d. Nor
ton as the Presidents private secre-
tary. 1t is recalled that Mr.. Dawson
was seriously considered for this po-
sition at the time Mr.. Norton was
named to succeed Fred w. Carpenter,
now minister to Morocco.
Mr.. Dawson has visited the White
House at the request OF the Presi-
dent. The nature of this conference
was not discussed by either, but there
have been guesses from quarters
which seldom miss that Mr.. Dawson
was asked If he would accept the
secretarysip should it be offered to
him,
Tfis information has come to light
f4H a report that TIA
had decided that unless the private
SeCretary'S salary were raised to
$4,000 a year he could not afford to
take it.
There is serious doubt as to the pas
sage of the bill increasing this salary.
Should it fail, Mr.. Hilles, it is said,
will take a position rendered him in
New York several weeks ago, and will
leaNe lne service OF lhe lToVeruinenI'
In Mr.. Dawsons favor it is said that
he is a shrewd politician, a man of af-
fairs and a Representative from a sec
ton of the country which needs spe-
cial cultivation, politically. These things
are said to appeal strongly to Mr.. Taft,
who believes that the appointment "f
Mr.. Dawson would make the Admins
tration great many friends:
There is no serious discussion at the
White House of the proposed bill chang
lug the title of the Presidents private
secretary to that of Assistant to the
President" It is recalled that about
the time Mr. Norton was transferred
from the Treasury to the White House,
the report was spread broadcast that
the new official would become the as
sistant to Mr.. Taft, that is, an Assistant
President.

PLANS F|LIBUSTER TO
SAVE DISTRICT DAY
Olcott Says He Is Prepared
to Block Appropriation I
Bills.

Chairmen of committees in charge of
appropriation bills who have sys-
tematicalIy deprived the District COM
mittee of every second Monday in the
House will discover that they, too, can
be hampered and possibly brought to
terms.
Representative Olcott of New York, a
member of the House District Commit
tee, today announced that he is pre-
pared to conduct a filibuster against
the House organization unless an agree
ment is made whereby the citizens Of
the District of Columbia can have their
rights in the House.
This plan of taking District day
away from us every time it is reached
under the rules is becoming monoton-
GUS" said Mr.. Olcott today.
II would very much prefer to have
this business brought before the House
in an orderly manner, but if that can
not be done l am in favor of having
the members of the committee conduct
a fiIibuster in the House against every
proposition advocated from NOV until
the close of the session"
BY OlCott's remaining in the House
and objecting to every motion requiring
unanimous consent he could prove him
self extremely annoying, and could de-
lay the proceedings of the House in
definitely by demanding that all ap-
preparation bills taken up between now
and the close of the session be read in
full before they are considered for
amendments. Extended reading now Is
disposed of by unanimous consent.

MANY NEW TRICKS
IN OLD "SUPERBA'
Greeted With Even More
Merriment Than in
Former Days.

Once again Hanlon's "Superba," at
the Academy this week, has brought
laughter and merriment to Washing
toms youngsters and grown-ups, and
not once did the well-known "Pico's''
eccentric antics fail to bring down the
house.
The scenic effects were of the best
of their kind, and the scores of tricks
and illusions Were bewildering in their
rapidity and execution. While the theme
OF the play, the battle Of the good fairy,
Superba. and the evil fairy, Wallalia,
over the young lovers, Leander and
Sylvia, remains the same several new
effects have been introduced.
Roxy, as a mortal fairy, did some
clever acting and sang several songs
that met with instant favor. Phil Dore.
to, as A. Waiter. and Robert Rosaire
as "Pico," gave a good exhibition OF
tumbling in the second act. Will Stan.
ley in both his parts. "A Cool Smoker
and Sarah Stew" scored. kathryn
Stevens and I'earl Carlton Seward, a!
the good and bad fairies, were bott
we'll received in their roles.
The extravaganza was a success from
start to finish, and besides its scenic sf-
fects, costumes. and tricks boasts q
chorus OF pretty girls.
