THE BEST FERTILIZERS
FOR SOIL OF ST.
LANDRY.
State Experimental Station
Gives Farmers Valuable
Pointers.
Baton Rouge, La, Jan. Is, 1912.
Mr.. j. N. Toole, Washington,

MT. ". IN. lOolCs V6SllLiiS 0Oh,
La,
Dear Sir. Replying to your
request in regard to fertilizer for
corn, cotton and potatoes, beg to
give you the following state
ment which will assist you in
choosing a proper fertilizer.
The better class of soils in the
vicinity of 0pelousas are of the
same character as those Of the
better class of Baton Rouge, be-
ing of the same formation, and
the prairie land to the west repre-
sents a mixture of this soil with
deposit of soil not quite SO good,
SO that | think results secured
at this station would apply to St.
Landry.
We find, for corn, that fertli-
ger represented by 200 pounds of
cotton seed meal and 100 pounds
of Acid Phosphate gives us the
best results an average year and
200 pounds of cotton seed meal
and 100 pounds Of Acid Phos-
phate gives US the best results
generally on cotton. This is
presuming that the fertilizer is
applied before the crop is planted
as we believe, with experience
we have had here, that, as a
general thing, best results are
to be secured by applying the
fertilizer from a week to ten
days before the planting is done.
If heavier application is desired,
$50 pounds would be ordinarily
the mixture that would pay I'M
less the soil contains a very large
amount of vegetable matter. In
case the crop was preceded by
a crop of COW peas, diminish the
quantity of cotton seed meal and
correspondingly increase the
Acid Phosphate for either of
these crops, and If a crop of COW
peas has been turned under pre-
|ceding a cotton crop, | would not
add any cotton seed meal but use
from 200 to $50 pounds of Acid
Phosphate per acre. All of our
soils here contain an abundance
of Potash so when you are buy
ing complete fertilizer, you are
throwing away the amount rep
resented by the Potash content.
IL you find that the soil IS DE
sander type and average loom,
it would frequently be best to
apply one half of the fertilizer
before planting and one half dur
ing cultivation.
/ am asking Mr.. Tiebout, our
Horticulturist, who has charge
Of our potato work, to give you
fertilizer for Irish potatoes.
Very respectfully,
w. r. DODSON,
Dean and Director.
Rouge, La, Jan. 13, 1912.
Mr.. ]. n. Toole, Washington,
La.
Dear Sir: Prof. Dodson has
requested me to give you ferti-
lizer for Irish potatoes that will,
a general way, give good re-
suits in the vicinity Of 0pelousas:
/ would advise the use of equal
parts of cotton seed meal and
nigh grade Acid Phosphate at
he rate of about 500 pounds or
more per acre applied on the
idge beneath the potatoes. If
zou wish a high quality and bet
er keeping quality of potato, it
be well to use a little sui
hate of potash il connection (
With this fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
J. G. L. TIEBOUT, :

Laws Necessary to Proper
Conduct Of Government.

The proper conduct of govern
mental affairs has to proceed by
rules. Collectively, they are called
laws Some men spend all their
lives burrowing in law books, and
even then do not obtain a full I'M
derstanding of the subject. But
for the regular run Of affairs, laws
are so comparatively simple that
any person Of ordinary common
sense villa obey them all without
having to read them.
All law has one object: to estab-
lish the right. And the purpose Of
the right is to assure to every in
dividual in the fullest measure the
benefits Of peace, safety, protec-
ton; in brief complete defense
Of his citizenship. The reason of
this is that he must be left free to
go and come, to perform his labor,
to build up his family, to fulfill his
ambition, or he can not become
valuable citizen.
But there is another side to gov
eminent. II does not consist mere
ly in a body of laws and group
of men who fight for office that
they may carry out the laws for
others Government in its active
operation embraces every individ-
ual in the national family.
Every citizen is bound up in the
active affairs of government to an
extent he hardly appreciates. You
are a citizen. Thomas Jefferson
voiced the belief that you were
born the equal OF every other citi-
zen. OF course, Thomas Jefferson
did not attempt to prove this in
your case. He left that for you to
do.
Being a citizen. you nave what

Individual in the National Family

word government, whetb

TIME word government, wheth-
err applied to ones self, to
family, city, state or ma
ton, means guidance, management
and control. A governor is one
who guides and manages and con-
trolls.
When you undertake self govern
ment Cor self controD this is ex-
actly what you must accomplish.
And when we speak of the ma
tional government, we imply that
there is a body of men somewhere
who are guiding the affairs of the
country, managing them on
sound basis, and controlling them
so that nothing goes amiss.
All this is implied by the word
government, and when we get any
thing less from the body of men
who constitute our active govern
ment we are not in a safe condi-
ton.
You know that you are obliged
every day of your life to take your
self in hand in order to guide, man
age and control yourself.
Should you break the bonds Of
this self government you may land
in prison. 1t is little harder for
a family of six or eight to settle
down to similar form Of good
government, and as for a family of
one hundred million, witness the
anxiety they are having about it at

Must Know About Man
And the Office.

When, through your participa-
ton in the primaries, you are
called upon to say whom you deem
a safe man for office, you must be
in no doubt about the man or the
office. This is simply and politi-
cally your business as a citizen.
Government. then, is not merely
the assurance of protection given
by those in Office to those who are
not. 1t Is the assurance OF every
citizen speaking for himself that
so far as he can help to guide,
manage and control the affairs Of
his country, he with do 1t with full
understanding Of his duty toward
himself and his fellow man.

Every Citizens Political
And Civil Rights.

Does all this apply to the off,
GERS of the government alone, or
does it reach down and touch you
with it's responsibility? Both. In
your capacity as private citizen
you receive protection of person
and property. You receive liberty
to follow your activity if 1t be an
honorable one. You send your
children to school, and the gov
eminent educates, them, because,
later on, when they grow up, the
government insists that they must
have a certain amount Of knowl-
edge in oRder to become fit citizens
in their turn.
But when you are called upon to
vote, to do jury duty, to act as a
special officer, and so on, you are
suddenly changed from one receiv-
ing rights and protection to one
giving them You are now an &C
tive unit in the government of your
nation. When you cast your vote
you must know why you are doing
1t. The reason we have already
learned; you are voting that the
affairs of the nation may be guild
ed. managed and controlled in the
best possible way.
When, by the action Of the refer
endum law is referred to the peo-
pie from the legislature, it is your
duty so thoroughly to understand
that law that no vote of yours will
disturb the guidance, management
and control of our affairs.
When, by the initiative, you are
one OF many proposing a law, your
vote must keen this same sane and
safe procedure intact. If you dis
turb that, you have failed to act as
worthy and honest instrument Of

we term civil and political rights.
Civil rights apply equally to men,
women and children. Political
rights belong to certain citizens,
and allow them to participate in
the actual government. This in
cludes the right to vote and to hold

eminent we mean guidance, man.

power, and control means strength
