years since the passage Oh TIC act
Of 1887, and 20 years since the
Blanchard Robertson agreement.
Gov. Sanders says: eff l am
elected United States Senator, L
will do everything can to have
the matter of the disputed claims
IF the lands mentioned settled one
way or the other"
Now, dear readers, we have an
expression from each of the candl-
lates, and this is all the writer
has asked for. We do not want
10 influence you one way or the
,ther as to whom you should vote
Tor. My contention is that this
land claim matter is one OF the
greatest of all interests to Grant
parish just now, and we should
vote for the man that We think
will do something to relieve the
situation.
We request that Congress be
strongly urged by our Senators
and Representatives to take action
At once and proceed to arrange
with Hon. N. C. Blanchard to
prosecute all suits now pending,
and investigate all just claims,
aud where it is found that the set
tiers claims are just and the lands
we're excepted from the grant, to
institute new suits in their favor
or in the interest of the govern.
ment.
We understand that the plea
will be prescription, and the claim
will be made it is too late now tf
have the claim of any settler con
sidered unless he has made his
claim prior to 1902 a matter o.
record. This argument woult
look better if they had ever per
| mitted any case TO be settled. 1
is an acknowledged fact that thu
government has done nothing t.
undo this tangle it created, and
by the government officials having
slept on their jobs for "a years.
great many poor pople have hat
to suffer, and the railroad claim
ants under the patent issues
through error, have been able t
gather in millions of dollars tina
did not belong to them.
If prescription will apply in thi
case we must confess we do no
understand the principles on whic
our law is based; but until W
have seen our idea and opinion o
this SUBJECT exploded, and it ha
been decided by the Suprem
Court of the United States ths
! prescription does apply to thi
case, we will conteEd that the AZ
of 1896 does not mean to tax
away his homestead from a poe
ignorant man just because he doe
: not know enough to record b
, rights prior to 1902. In oths
; words, we believe that if land WI
excepted from the grant in 1873
. it was excepted in 1896, and I
act except a new grant could mai
the land so excepted subject to
3 grant. The act of 1896 gives FL
D and six years in which one me

POTATO CROP SHORT.
Farmers Are Advised That Irish Potato
Seed Will be High Next Spring
Owing to Crop Failure.

In view of the threatened po-
tato famine owing to the failure
of the Irish potato crop last
spring, it is advisable for farm
ers in all Southern ATTITUDES to
plant a fall crop. Irish potatoes
are now quoted t$1.S5 and ST.
bushel in the market, and they
bid fair to go still higher.
All farmers who have a supply
of seed should plant them at
once. If your ground is not in
proper condition to plant now,
bury your potatoes in a. damp
place so they will be sprouted
and ready to plant early in Sep
tember. If you have not shady
damp place handy, bury your
seed potatoes in some convenient
spot and sprinkle them with
water for a few days. Potatoes
treated in this way for ten days
or two weeks will sprout and be
found to grow off more READILY
than if put in the ground dry.
The following statement has
been issued by President H. S.
Norton of the North Louisiana
Truck and Fruit Growers Asso-
citation:
Shreveport, Aug. 10, 1911.
The Government report on the
condition of the various crops up
to August / shows that the po-
tato crop is about 100, 900, OOO
bushels short of the crop grown
last year. We all know at what
abnormally high prices the crop
grown last year was finally clos.
ed out at, and what fine prices
the early crop brought when the
old crop was about gone. Now
with last years experience anc
a crop that is about one-third as
large as the crop of last year
every one who possibly car
should plant a fall crop of po
tatoes.
Seed potatoes will undoubtedl!
be high next spring and if all il
this section of the country woult
plant a fall crop and raise thei
seed, they will be in position
to raise a crop next spring at
no extra expense for seed. Wit
such a large shortage in Thu
years crop there is no question
but that potatoes will bring goo
prices next spring. This is sit
uation that every farmer shout
take advantage of, as seldom
there such an opportunity give
us. After the potato crop is hal
vested there is plenty of time
raise a crop of sweet potatoes
peanuts, cotton, or June corn.

wheat shows falling of OF APP
proxirnately 10 per cent in condi-
ton, as compared with the average
tor the last ten years and the yield
per acre is about two bushels to
the acre less this year than the
average during the last five years.
Oats also show a considerable
falling off, both in condition and
in average yield per acre. While
the indicated yield :or this year is
800 bushels an acre, the final
yield for 1910 was 3I.o bushels
and the average yield during the
last five years was 28.4 bushels,
the indicated total yield for this
year being approximately IS per
cent. less than the average for the
last five years.
Rye, tobacco, flax and hay, all
show a heavy falling off in condi-
ton and indicated total yield. Po-
tatoes, as was indicated last month
will make short crop. The con-
dition of potatoes today was a
triHe more than 10 per cent, be-
low that OF last year, and nearly 3
per cent poorer than it was
month ago. The total yield will
be far below that OF last year
practically 20 per cent-and nearly
20 per cent below that Of the
average for the last five years.

in the great staple crop. OF corn as
OF September l over August l.,
but it amounted to only seventh
tenths OF one per cent. in the ag-
gregate. The yield of corn per
acre this year, as indicated by the
report, will be $50 bushels per
acre, as compared with 27.4 bush
els last year and an average of 27.I
bushels during the last FIVE years.
The acreage OF corn this year,
however, is larger than it was
last year and the probability is that
the crop, while it may be shorter
than it was last year, will not differ
greatly in quantity.

Nervous
Collapse

Il have travelled for thirty

deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally,

but with no relief. DR.. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.

nervous few doses relieve me-"

There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do
build up the nervous system by
the use of DR.. Miles Restora-
tive Nervine. Its strength
ening influence upon the nerv-
GUS system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from

does not benefit he will return
