Mr.. EDITOR: As an humble cit
izen Of this town / wish to utter a
protest against a growing and dam
gerous practice of some of our fell
low citizens who indulge in the lux
ury of speeding their autos in town.
1t is a careless and reckless prac-
tice. They travel at an unnecessary
and unreasonable speed and fail to
give any warnings or show any dis
position Ito avoid consequences Of
theip action. That there has been
no serious accident as yet is no
credit to themselves or excuse for
a continuance of the practice. One
persons life and property are as
much to him as that of another.
There have been several very mar
row escapes within the last few days.
loot your horns, gentlemen, and
travel at a more reasonable speed ,
especially in town and when turn
ing the sharp corners of our streets.
Respectfully,
B. f. BoNNEY.

Boys Corn Clubs for Tsnsss Parish.

NEwELLToN, La, March s, IL
Editor Tensas Gazette,
st. Joseph, La.
Fourteen boys in this parish have
agreed to join the boys corn club,
and l hope others will join before
it is too late.
As some of the boys were not here
to hear Mr.. Roy lecture and organ
ize the club, l will tell the boys
through your columns what is re-
quired of them.
Any boy under Is years old may
have his ground broken for him.
The boys are required to do all the
work, and to keep strict account
of the cost of the crop. They
must charge the crop with the labor
of both man and beast at the rate
of 10 cents per hour for his labor
or the labor of the man to break
the land and 5 cents per hour for
the horse labor. For every two
horse wagon OF manure, charge
of 50 90 must be made. For COM
mercial fertilizer he must charge
the actual cost of same. He must
charge 80 cents for the seed corn to
plant the acre. The boys must keep
a strict account of the cost, for in
the fall when the corn is harvested
they will be required to make a re-
port of the yield and of the profits,
and write an essay on the culture
of the corn.
An acre is 1910 square yards.
Get your fathers or guardians to
help you measure it off.
In the fall, when you are ready
to harvest the crop, it becomes my
official duty to appoint a committee
from some of your neighbors to see
the corn gathered and measured.
In order to have uniform stand-
ard over the State this committee
is to have every twentieth Darrell
shelled and weighed. This is done
in order to get the yield in bushels
per acre.
The Police Jury has offered $50
in prizes, and / will secure, if pos
sible, $50 more. There will be first,
second and third prizes in yield,
profits, best ten ears and an essay
on corn culture.
Now, boys, | wish to impress
upon you the necessity Of reading
and preserving the literature sent
you by the Agricultural Department
on corn culture. Study these re-
ports and instructions closely that
you may act intelligently.
Please do not use these books Of
instructions to kindle the fires as
so many farmers do.
Very truly,
THos. M. WADE, Supt.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1911-03-10

boys have averaged 100 bushels t.,
the acie. The average Gun, pro-
duction Of the county was n A IN
1910. In many Of the Southern
States under our faulty and indif-
ferent methods of cultivation, it
has not averaged 20 bushels per
acre; but let us take a general av-
erage of 27.4 bushels, and these
boys have made barely five times as
much as the general average.
Certainly if the boys can do
that grown men, with all the adj
vantages of their superior years,
ought to do much better, and /
know of no work that is destined to
be more beneficial to this Republic
than this intelligent, far-reaching
work of educating the boys and the
Southland to raise more corn per
acre. -

l0NOKt STATION
 BURNS 10 GROUND
Defective FIue in the Negro Waiting
 Room Blamed For Fire.

s..~ Lonoke, Dec. 2S,-As the result of fire here about S:45 o'clock Tues day night, the Rock Island passenger station was burned to the ground and a part of the records of the Company destroyed.
 The fire appears to have originated from defective flue in the nesHo waiting room, and before it was dis covered 1t had gained such headway as to make 1t impossible to do more than save the surrounding buildings. Fortunately the freight and passenger stations are separate. and there was consequently, no damage to the freight depot.
 The passenger station is not ker, open all the time, and at the time of the fire Station Agent J. D. Turner was not in the building, as no trains were due to arrive at that hour.
 The loss is about 8 900 for the building. The loss as to records, etc.. is not yet known. The passen- ger station was located in the very heart of the town.
