June to the 4th Of july will make
good crop more than half OF
the time, and will always pay for
the labor and other expense IN
volved. provided one plants Mex
lean June, Laguna, or yellow
Creole. In case these varieties
cannot be secured, the Hastings
Prolific will probably be one of
the best varieties that can be Sc
cured
In the section now inundated
there is some danger of grass
worms following the recession OF
the wa ers, and they sometimes
completely DESTROY the crop.
These insects are ordinarily kept
in subsection by their natural
enemies chief of which are the
ground beetles which feed upon
both the larvel and the adult
stages of grass worms. These
beetles are destroyed in over
flowed areas, and after the recess
sion of the waters regain poses
sion of the territory slowly. The
adult Of the grass worm is a lit
tie moth that lays its eggs on the
young blades of grass or corn,
where "ley hatch in about ghrec
days and grow rapidly reaching
maturity in about ten days. The
chrysalis stage lasts for eight or
nine days, so that the entire life
cycle is passed in about three
weeks. and with this rapid repro
due, ion they soon take complete
possession of territory where
their enemies have been killed
out.
The habit of the grass worm is
such that it drops firm its place
of support whenever it is dis
turbed. and it is the custom of
some farmers to attach a device
30 the pillow that will drag the
corn in advance Of the plow,
causing the caterpillars to drop
off and be covered. They can
also be poisoned by using Parish
green m xed with five or six times
its weight of air Stacked lime and
busted on the corn either with q
blow gun, or in the ordinary way
of shaking it from a porous bag
as cotton planters ordinarily poi
son cotton against the cotton eat
erpillar.
1t is very possible that the dam
age that accrues to small areas
that have been inundated, where
most observations on this insect
hava been made. will not follow
in eases where large expenses of
territory have been under water
at least it is not probable that
there are enough of these insects
on the high lands to become a
serious pest after they are dis
seminated, even should they in
wade the territory now inundated. !
|, therefore, do not contemplate
any serious damage over wide
spread areas from this insect. 1t

PLANTING LATE CORN.
w. r. Dodson.

Inquiries about planting late
corn are coming to the Expert
ment Station in almost every
mail, therefore some general state
ments regarding late corn plant
NC would seem opportune. My
observations and experiments in
planting corn in May, June and
early July have now extended
over period of eighteen years,
and some of the best crops OF
corn, as well as some of the most
complete failures that ] have OBJ
served, have been made from
planting the corn in late June
or early July. The latest crop
of corn that has been planted on
the Experiment Station, so far
as | know, was planted al. Baton
Rouge on July 9th, 1903. This
crop would have been damaged
by frost, had the frost come ear
her, but we had late frost and
the corn matured and met every
requirement. for feeding purposes,
making nearly fifty bushels to
the acre, which was considerable
IN excess of the yield of any early
corn that | knew of in this
neighborhood. On the other
hand, we have had some crops of
late corn that were so badly dam
aged by the ear worm that the
yield was not more than half that
secured from early planting.
However, on a general average.

promptly at ~ NV
Thursday morning, the members
Of the outgoing Police Jury met
to finish up their business and
prepare for the induction INTO OIL
flee of die new officials. Among
those present were Messrs. j: I.
Curtis. Oscar Romero, Rene Del
ahoussaye, Carlos Mestayer, Ar
thur Leblanc, Adonis Delcambre,
Fernand Mestayer and Gus.
Stansbury. President Moresi and
Albert Thibeau being absent,
with Secretary A. B. Romero at
his desk. Mr.. Romero read the
minutes of the preceding meet
ing. which was duly approved.
The next piece of business was
the reading of the report OF the
Parish Treasurer office, when
was handed in by Mr.. Fred W..
Bauman who audited the ac-
counts. The report was received.
Mr. Weeks was then called upon
to explain the status OF the SUIT
between the Police Jury and
Sheriff Henderson and sta ed that
an appeal had been taken by the
Sheriff, asking the Court to allow
the Sheritf's accoun' against the
Parish offset the decision, which
you'd not change the status of
the case.
After a general discussion about
the matter it was moved that the
same be left to the new Police
Jury for final action.
After discussing as to whether
or not certain bills should be paid
that had been contracted by the
President, for road work in the
Sth Ward, it being made clear to
the Jury that great deal more
had been expended in that Ward
than what was understood to be
i,he allotment it was finally adopt
ed by the members that the bills
be paid.
At this stage Of the proceed
ings, the Secretary, Mr.. Romero
made a few remarks about the
good work of the Body since it
had assumed Office and read re-
ports, showing the Parish OUT Of
debt when the taxes for 1912 are
collected and complimented the
Police Jury for extricating the
Parish out Of its financial EN-
barrassments.
Mr.. Lombard, representing the
Safe of Louisiana Model Road
department, then asked for per-
mission to speak to the Jury with
reference to the approval, before
their retirement, of the contract
for the model road as signed by
he President, which matter, he
said should have been done im-
mediately after the contract had
been signed. This seemed to be
a surprise to the officials and sew
eral expressed their astonishment
that Mr.. Moresi had gone SO far
in the matter unbeknowance TO
the Jury. Mr.. Lombard then
wanted to know whether the con-
tracu had ever been rescinded,
that he had documents to show
that the matter had been APP
proved and this was the first in.

The S ate Democratic Conven-
ton which convened at Baton
Rouge last Tuesday selected dele
gates to the Nat nal Democratic
Convention which will chose the
standard bearer to lead the parry
to victory resulted III almost a
split delegation, Speaker lark
receiving twelve delegates to
Gov. Wilson's eight. Had not
dickers been made with the ring
officials of New Orleans by he
powers that be, Wilson would
have been endorsed by the Con
vention, as he should have been,
being the natural choice of the
constituents Of Louisiana. Had
a Democratic primary been held
in Louisiana. wilson would have
defeated Mr.. Clark five to one.
The timely arrival of Senator
elect Broussard on The scene was
responsible for the delegates be-
ing sent uninstructed and in all
probability Gov. Wilson will yet
receive the endorsement of the
Louisiana delegates when the
big convention is convened. The
Enterprise unqualifiedly favors
the nomination Of Gov. Wilson for
the reason that with him as the
standard bearer the Democratic
party Will be in better position to
bring the party to success.

The Times-Democrat is con-
WINGED that the commission form
of government is far superior to
the old system. Especially is
the commission form best for
small cities. This has been dem
onstrated IN Galveston and a
number of other Texas cities, and
in number of Northern cities
and towns.
The old systems, tended to build
up political machines. Political
machines live on patronage, and
Tor the machine to continue in
power it IS necessary That it keep
adding to its volume of patron
age. The result everywhere has
been the bleeding Of the taxpayer
to keep unnecessary Job-holders
employed 50 that their vot IS might
be controlled by the party in pow
er. Public improvements have
been neglected-in the gr,at ma
jor ty Of towns and cities have
been impossible, because the tax
payers money has gone to pay
unnecessary office-holders.
The old system of machine pol
ties distributes the patronage
among the men who control votes,
and III that way places prem
ium upon inefiiciency. Men are
selected for positions, not because
of their efficiency. but because OF
the votes they control.
The Md system of municipal
government, if applied to a bust
ness establishment, would mean
bankruptcy.
The keynote of the commission
form of government rs efficiency
in office, by fixing responsibility
on the head of a department. The
taxpayer then knows whom to
blame if his money is misspent.
ThJ result everywhere has been
a material reduction in the mum.
Der of cty employees, greater eff
ficiency in office, and better re-
turns for money spent In civ G

visionary while engaged with his fell
low prisoners, presented an entirely
different appearance on the stand, his
face smiling and bright, and his an

After relating briefly his life and
education up to the time he arrived at
Lawrence, Giovannttti said that the
planted" dynamite was found four
Tor Ave hours before his arrival and
that his first conversation was with
Ettor on that subject.
Giovannitti said that Ettor asserted
1t was dirty trick and that as the
Mcnamara case was fresh in the
minds of the public, 1t would prejudice
the public against the strikers. Ettor
then asked him to organize relief
committee to raise funds to feed and
