Pine Bluff has a stick up man
within it's confines. One local resi-
dent lost $35 and several years
growth Friday night when he sud
denly found himself looking into the
Darrell of a big revolver, in the
hands of a determined masked des-
perado. The police are making
every effort to capture the highway
man, but many are of the opinion
that the member of the midnight
crew. thought $35 pretty good
days work and left the city on the
same night of the crime. The high
wayman is believed to have been a
professional at the game as his
every action indicated that he was Il
man of experience in that line of
work.

Priest Plans a Store Trust.

A plan to eliminate the mail-order
houses and to do away with much
credit business has been evolved by
a financier priest Of Ohio, Illinois,
Father Flynn, who proposes to con-
solidate the business houses of his
town into a corporation in which the
farmers will hold stock.
Since the rural free delivery sys-
TEN has been established merchants
of Father F'lynn's town have found
the mail order houses making steady
inroads on the local stores. When
the residents have cash they make
out long list Of things needed, buy
a money order and send it to city
dealers. When they have no money,
they patronize the home stores spar
ingly on credit.
The plan of Father Flynn is to
form a stock company, with farmers
holding shares, and take over the
business houses into trust. By this
means, he argues, the customers of
the stores will have an interest and
will no longer send their money to
Chicago. A capitalization of 100000
is suggested as necessary to effect
this consolidation and the profits are
estimated at Is per cent, making the
Investment look attractive.
Committees have been appointed
to obtain subscriptions TO the stock
and also to figure with the mer-
chants ON price at which the vari-
Gus interests are to be taken over.

Big Dipping Of Cattle.

The first big dipping of cattle
since the present campaign for
dipping watts was inaugurated was
pulled off Tuesday morning in the
tenth ward of East Baton Rouge par
ish, on the place Of D. T. Morgan,
where over 200 head of cattle We're
dipped in two hours. Mr.. Morgan
has constructed fine concrete vat,
with all the necessary additions and
attachments, which make it one of
the most complete in the parish.
In order to make a demonstration
at the initial dipping Mr.. Morgan in
vited his friends and neighbors to
witness the process, and they attend
ed in large numbers. The number of
cattle dipped in the vat in two hours
could not have been hand-greased in
less than two days. DR.. w. H. Dali

versity and Dr. Cooper Curtice, of
the United States bureau Of animal
industry. Witnessed the dipping.

Grasshoppers Attack Cotton Crop.

=
Grasshoppers in large quantities
are beginning to attack the cotton
crop in sections of Louisiana and
Mississippi, according to a prominent
cotton planter who returned to the
city a few days ago, after making a
two weeks trip. through various parts
of the cotton belt. says the Times
Democrat.
The planter said that the hot dry
spell was responsible for this con.
dition. The wild grasses and marsh
weeds have become dried up and
toughened under the hot rays of the
sun, and the grasshoppers are be-
ginning to abandon the low, dried-up
grass and weeds to feed upon the
more tender young cotton plants
So far, the grasshoppers have be-
come noticeable only in certain locali.
ties, but it is feared if the hot, dry
spell continues, they will become a
great danger to the crop in Louisiana
and Mississippi. 1t is also said that
in certain parts of Texas the pests
have also been discerned of late.
What are believed to be thirteen
year locusts have also been reported
SSOCLlOtIo& LIE sg@C0CLQll
belt. What damage, if any, the pests
will do to cotton is not known. So.
far, it is said, thousands of the
lpcusts which flew out of the woods
have been found dead on the hot
ground in the cotton fields. No
damage has been noted on the plants
in these fields, resulting from these
locusts. It is not known whether the
locusts feed on the cotton plant Or
not. The thirteen-year locusts are
so called because it requires thirteen
years for the eggs to hatch out, and
consequently it is only at intervals
of thirteen years that the pests be-
come evident.
The 1ocusts have appeared in Madi-
son parish, and it is stated that the
sgrasshoppers are plentiful in that
parish and in Washington county,
Mississippi, also.
The grasshoppers lay their eggs on
the stem of the young cotton plant
and devour the tender leaves. Their
activity causes the plants to wither
and die. So far the planters have
done practically nothing, it is said,
towards fighting the pests by use Of
poisons or otherwise, though a few
of the planters have been. cutting
down the rank growth of weeds near
their fields and burning the grass and
weeds, SO as to destroy the eggs.

DoNALDsoNyIILE LA, SATURDAY JUNE IT, 1911.
Condition of Cotton Crop.

The New Orleans Times Demo
crat, in its issue of June 12, pre-
sented the first of its reports on
the cotton crop of 1911, the consen-
sus of opinion of the papers cor
respondents being to the following
effect:
l. There has been a considerable
increase of acreage ge-probably about
five per cent, after allowing for
areas abandoned because of boil
which the seed failed to germinate
for want of moisture.
2. The supply of labor is suffi-
cient and the cultivation has been
exceedingly thorough.
8. Texas correspondents say that
rains must come in the next few
days, else serious deterioration will
occur, and certain sections of the
Atlantic states are also in need of
moisture.
a. The boll-weevil is active in
parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas; not much is heard of the
pest elsewhere.
5. Taking the belt as a whole,
the condition of the crop was un-
usually high at the date of this re
port (June 81, but the outlook is sub
ject to sudden change.
With reference to the cotton crop
in this parish, the Times Demo
Gratis Donaldsonville correspondent
writes as follows:
"The cotton crop in the New
River section of the parish is in
significant, compared even to last
years, when it was rs per cent of
the average. The boll-Weevil is play
ing havoc with what little crop
has been planted, and it is now diff
ficult to find out just by whom
and where cotton is being grown.
From well informed sources it is as
certained that there is barely 500
acres planted in cotton this year,
which is probably one-fourth of last
years acreage. The condition and
stand is said to be good, with ample
labor

Plant SoiI-Enriching Crops.

The greatest need OF Louisiana
farm lands is more decaying Vege-
table matter or humus. Such humus
increases soil fertility and makes
EARNING more profitable. With poor,
worn out soil, it is impossible to
make money farming If that truth
were fully grasped by all Louisiana
farmers, along with the equally i'm
portant one that the fertility of the
land is under the direct control of
the farmer, we might hope soon to
have the most productive soil on the
face of the globe. As a matter of
fact, there is not any general appre-
citation on the part of the farmers of
what vegetable matter means TO the
soil; they do not realize that it con-
tributes fertility directly to the land,
helps to break down soil particles
and thus liberates insoluble plant
food, fosters bacterial life, and en-
ables crops to tide over dry spells.
The growing of more cowpeas and
velvet beans in corn or alone for
grazing or hay, more soy beans for
hay, more red clover sOWn on al
luvial soils in the fall, more crimson
clover on the cut-over pine and
sandy hill lands, more burr clover,
and alsike clover, and coWpeas, and
lespedeza and alfalfa-these are the
things we. need. Every acre in corn
should be planted to coWpeas at the
last cultivation-or, if the crop is to
be turned under, perhaps preferably
in many sections to velvet beans.
Then, unless the hay is needed for
feed, turn such crops under. A ton
of dry coWpea hay contains about
SO pounds of nitrogen, worth $3.50
as a fertilizer; but, it also contains
some phosphorus, and the humus it
yields is more valuable still. This
is true for other leguminous crops.
Growing peas and peanuts does not
improve soils when the hay and
seed are sold from the farm, And
all manure from leguminous hay is
valuable and must by all means go
back to the 1and.-Departmen Ag

University.

The fair given at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Odressi Crochet in Dar-
row on Saturday and Sunday, May
27 and 2S, for the benefit of St.
AIMS Catholic chapel of Creyasse
Settlement, proved a most interest
ing and enjoyable entertainment and
scored a gratifying financial success.
The gross receipts were S809.05 and
the expenses s253.62, leaving net
earnings of S55343, which is consid-
cred a most excellent showing in
view of the prevailing dull season.
Features of the delightful entertain
ment were the open-air mass cele-
brated on the grounds of the Crochet
home Sunday morning, and the theat
rica1 performance given Sunday af-
ternoon by a number Of talented
young amateurs of st. Stephens par
ish, New Orleans. The promoters
and managers of the fair wish to
thank the public for the generous
measure of patronage accorded the
entertainment, and particularly do
they wish to make acknoWledg edgment
of their obligation to the Gonzales
Silver Cornet Band for the splendid
music furnished by that organization
free of charge throughout the two
days of the festival.

Prof. Roy. These clubs will include
poultry clubs, garden clubs, canning
clubs, sewing clubs, cooking clubs,

clubs. Prizes will be offered for the
best products of these clubs and ex-
hIDlts viii be made at the state and
parish fairs. Competent orsganizers
and instructors will be put in the
field as soon as funds become avail
able for the purpose. The pupils Of
