Late summer rains produced a
good crop of late potatoes in the
central basin, while the early po-
tatoes were largely a disappoint-
ment. The yield is short, how
ever, as a whole. New York is
the state of largest production and
Pennsylvania comes second, and in
both those states the shortage is
pronounced. Colorado has suf-
fered much from drouth and dis
ease in her spuds, which have
long been famous on the markets.
Michigan and Ohio are also short,
and prices must necessarily stand
at a high level until another crop
is harvested.

The Land Shows.

The land shows are again with
us. The state and interstate fairs
are held in comparative small cent
ers of population, and find their
main support in country attend
ance. In pursuance of the back
to the land" propaganda, great
exhibits of farm products have
been established in big cities, chief
among them Chicago, Omaha,
Pittsburg and New York. All
these land shows have now been
held except the Chicago exhibition,
which claims attention this week
and laps over the full Information
al week.
The newer countries are making
strongest appeals at these shows.
State and association and individ-
ual funds have been appropriated
to this end. Where prizes have
been offered. usually the West or
Northwest has been the winner,
although the Southeast has empha-
sized its resources quite emphati-
cally. The older sections of es.
tablished agriculture and them
selves in such shows. Last week
there were nearly fifty applicants
for one fine corn farm in central
Illinois, and tenants are bidding as
high as So all acre rental for corn
land. Small need is there for at
tracing more attention to such
land. The West and Northwest
never have been more systemati-
cally active in appeal for settlers.
The governors of number of the
newer states are coming east with
a special exhibit train, supple
menting the land show displays.
Where the appeal of such shows
effects the transfer back to ii g
land of the farm-raised man, they
work the end whereunto they are
sent. When they lead the city
bred man, uniformed of farm
work, to pioneer conditions, they
usually cause much mischief. Not
any fool can farm.

November has thoroughly sus-
tanned the years reputation for
freakish weather. Ushered in by
an unexpected cold snap, it caught
winter apples on the trees and
beets, turnips and other roots in
the ground. Much fruit was
frozen. Scarcely had the murcury
rebounded before wintry blasts
out of the frozen north covered
almost the continent. Vessel
wrecking gales swept both coasts,
and tornadoes wrought death and
destruction, preceding the biting
edge of the cold blast. The
thunder storms, high winds and
deluges of rain that afrighted
humanity Nov. 10 to II will long
BE- remembered. Temperature
changes were terrific. Falls of
fifty degrees were recorded in a
few minutes to a few hours time.
When people are frozen to death
in Oklahoma in the second week
in November it is indeed freakish
manifestation of weather. The
Canadian Northwest has entered
early winter, with zero weather
and deep snow over many an un-
.threashed field of wheat and oats.
The white blanket has spread
south past Chicago. Shredding
and field husking have been in
terfered with materially.

Another application to Gov
Wilson for a pardon of Henry
Youtsey, convicted of completely
in the murder of William Goebel,
has been refused by him. He has
refused the pardon once, but in
the last day or two another appli,
cation was made to him. The
Governor says he believes Youtsey
fired the shot which killed Goebel,
therefore he would not consider
the application.

was not true in Wallowa, very high
per cent being successful. This
speaks well for the schools of this
county, comparatively.
However, while there's a lot of
truth in the Oregonian editorial, in
our opinion the writer failed to grasp
the chief cause of faulty education,
and that is the lack of trained teach
ers.
Education or ability to pass the
teachers examination is by no means
a sure test of fitness for teaching
Of so who may take teachers train
'ng course, probably one-half of them
prove incompetent for the practical
work of teaching when the actual
est comes, but under present con.
litions of scarcity of teachers the
good, bad and Indifferent all are EN-
ployed.
What is the remedy? We don't know
unless the county school board would
add a teachers training course to the
County High school, and thus hor
-aiso a bountiful supply of teacher
rom the best of whom we could
supply the schools of our county.

TRUE MISSION OF W. c. Il. s.


The past year of the County High

The school has secured splendid

arts, are equally desirable for
practical course In science, engineer

county school is to give the boys
and girls of this county chance t
learn something useful, that will
be of practical, everyday value to
them in earning their bread and but

Altman To Fly.

Baton Rouge, La, Jan. IL, II.
Everything is in readiness f.,
the opening at 2 o'clock on The
afternoon of January 2sd and
24th, of the Board of Trada,s
grand aviation meeting to he
held in Baton Rouge. The nro-
gram for the first day Of the
meeting will be attractive, and
will consist of flying exhibitions
that will please the anxious on
lockers. 7 h e speed contest
which is a daily feature and fv,
ture of the program, is one Of
the most exciting of the num-
bers. It gives an entirely new,
sensation to see this large bird
like machine as it starts and
moves along the ground for the
first 300 feet, rises in the air
and scars away as gracefully as
the American Eagle.
The aviator of the machine
Mr.. William c. Purves, will send
his bi-plane along as close to the
ground as possible, thus avoiding
the necessity of climbing into
the air, and losing time when he
gains altitude. The automobile
will start simultaneously, and as
three of the most prominent
drivers of Baton Rouge have
volunteered to make this race,
this will lend additional interest.
and you can depend upon an en-
tire novelty in the way Of racing
for the first time in your life, for
some of you.
Other numbers on the program
will be: quick starting. and ris-
ing into the air; circular fights;
spiral glides from attitudes; start
ing and landing in the same spot;
cross-country flights; and many
other aerial acts known only to
the bird-men of the air.
The Gates Bi-plane, W h c h
Aviator Purves will use, will be
very interesting to most of you
to know the dimensions Of same.
This is a type of one of the larg-
est machines in use to-day. The
wings, or planes, are 28 feet
across, 41-2 feet in width length
from control to rudder, 80 feet;
weight, including aviator, 800
pounds; the engine weighs 100
pounds, and is of so horsepower
and up-to-date in every respect,
making 1900 revolutions to the
minute. 1t carries gasoline and
water equal to 100 pounds. One
gallon of gasoline will drive the
machine 8 miles.
Mr.. Purves has repeatedly
driven this machine at a speed of
70 to 80 miles an hour.

indebtedness of the Parish OF
st. Landry.

Bayou Chicot, Jan. Is, 1911.
To the Editor of the Clarion,
Opelousas, La.
NV Dear Sir: Inasmuch as
there has been a great deal OF
wild talk and exaggerated state
ments regarding the indebted
ness of St. Landry, and mas
much as I have been for several
years a member of the Police
Jury of said Parish, I naturally
feel a desire to correct any such
erroneous impressions.
The real facts are that the
Parish is only in debt in the sum
of $56O2. 90 on steel bridges.
It owes $5000.o 90 on the Jail,
but this amount has been already
budgeted for the year 1910, and
will be paid May, 1911.
I take this means of making
known the error that has pre-
vailed, knowing how readily you
will give the columns OF your
paper in aid of such an endeaVof
on my part.
The grand old Parish OF d.
Landry will never suffer an !,
odium at the hands of any evll
disposed persons to underrate neI
ability to meet her Indebtedness
so long as the columns OF your
valuable paper are open TO tnose
who wish to make the proper
corrections. h
Hoping that you will publish
this letter and wishing you all
the compliments of the season.
lam very truly yours,
P. H. SINGLETON.
