DIVERSITY OF CROPS.

iting the importation OF potatoes
to this Country from England,
Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Scotland Ireland and New

for our farmers to give some
thought to this as well as to other

The Department. Of Agriculture
has recently completed survey
of the soil of this Parish and IS
now distributing it's report. From
it we learn much that is Of inter
est 10 Iberians. Its soil has been
analysed in every section; and Its
adaptability to various crops de-
termined scientifically. Cane,
cotton, corn, rice, potatoes. truck,
alfalfa and all other products are
treated separately. A careful
study of this report and the ap-
plication Of the suggestions there
in contained would, we are sure,
result to the greater prosperity
of our community.

A CURSE TO HIS RACE.

When Jack johnson won the
heavyweight Championship Of the
world, and ESPECIALLY When be re
tanned it in Ills fight With Jeffries,
there were those Who said that he
had done his race a great service.
They argtea that he had put fresh
pride and confidence into millions
Of negroes who needed such a spur
to ambition. The theory was that
johnson prowess would encour-
age Afro Americans to strive
more vigorously for equal rights
and equal attainments in better
fields of occupation and achieve
ment. 8.
Now Jack johnson has done
more to discourage and disheart-
en- the best and wisest men of his
race than he could offset by win
ming ten championships. They
are ashamed and Disguised and
in srch frame Of mind that thou
sands Of them would welcome an
opportunity to give him q coat
Of tar and feathers and ride him
on a rail over the nearest bouE-
Diary. ~
All of which goes to show that
brains and character, not brute
force, must be depended upon to
advance the interests and widen
the future of race lately freed
from slavery. 1t is to the Booker
Washingtons, not to the Jack
Johnsons, that the negro !. IN

SHIPS WILL PASS THROUGH
THE CANAL NEXT YEAR.

While it is announced that ships
will be able to pass through the
Panama Canal in 1913, the date
officially set for the opening is
Jan. /. 1915. The reason for this
wide margin of time between the
actual and the official opening OF
the canal is explained in the an
nual report of the Isthmian Canal
Commission for 1912.
In addition to the actual water
way there are required prepara-
tions and facilities on a large
scale to dock, repair, water and
coal ships. The ships will have
70 wait their turns to go through.
A score of them may arrive at one
terminus or the other about the
same time. Long piers with slips
for vessels to warp into must be
built at Colon and Panama. There
are to be three dry docks, one for
the largest ships afioat.
On the Atlantic side great
breakwater must be provided to
protect ships at their berths from
storms. There is to be an extern

TONGS FOR HANDLING LIVE
WIRES WITH SAFETY.

In electric-lighting plants ana
other places where handling OF
live wires is necessary, there IS al
ways danger and difficulty present
in picking up wires carrying heavy
currents. 1engs have recently
been invented which are so made
that they can be used for either
large or small wires, beng
equipped with two sets OF jaws
for that purpose The handles
are made of insulating fiber and
equipped with locking device
at the extreme ends to hold them
together when the Jaws are set
against a wire. Thus all sorts OF
wires can be handled without
danger to the operator. "A plc-
tu.re of the device i'll use appears
in the December Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
