L. M. Wade.

The Comrade advocated the election
of L. NJ Wade, Of Alexandria, as Rail-
road Commissioner in the late primary,
for the reason that he stood for the in
terest of the producer and the common
people against the unfair discrimina-
ton against them by the railroads, and
his opponent, if he did, has failed to
Indicate it in any of his statements. If
the voter will investigate he will find
the railroads solidly lined up against
the candidacy of Mr.. Wade, who has
declared that he favors uniform mile
age rate to and from any given point
in the State, SO that the producer who
ships his product to the market will get
the same rates as the jobber who ships
the same freight out of the selling
market to the consumer.
We ask our readers to vote for Mr..
Wade, because he stands for something
tangible and because we know he will
redeem his promises in every respect

Town Talk in Its New Dress.

The Daily Town Talk, of Alexandria,
came out Oct. in brand new dress,
and printed on its new Goss Comet Per-
fecting Press, five column picture of
which is shown on its front page. The
paper is enlarged from its old six-col-
umn size to seven columns, and all told
we understand the management has
spent in the neighborhood of $4,000 for
improvements.
1t affords the Chronicle pleasure to
note this mark of continued prosperity
on the part of its neighbor. We take
kind of brotherly pride in the Town
Talk we had almost said fatherly pride.
Way back in 1877 we started in with
the Chronicle, and few years after
Town Talk flung its banner to the
breeze. At that time it was issued in
pocket handkerchief size, and it SEEM
ed to afford some of the newspapers of
that day and time good deal of mer-
riment to make fun of it's diminutive
size. But Town Talk had come to stay,
and it is still with US while about all
of its critics have passed out of exis-
tence. The progress of the paper has
been steady. 1t was first increased to
a five column paper, and then to six
columns, in which form it has been is
sued for long time, additional pages
being added from time as its business
increased. And now it has grown to
metropolitan size, and it looks like it is
going to go on growing for all time.
Well, shades of Mccormick, here's
congratulations and continued success
to you, and when we all pass over the
river, may our shadows last forever.

DIED.

Mrs. Mile Griffin LaCroix was born
near Oak Grove church, four miles west
of Bentley, Grant parish, La, June 20.
1880, and died at the home of her broth
er-in-law, I. E. Palmer, in Selma, La,
on Sunday, Sept Is, 1912.
She was one of large family of
children, seven sisters and four BROTH
ers, and was the third sister to die. On
March 26, 1900, she was married to
p. A. LaCroix, to which union was
born five children, four of whom sur
vive her. For seven years she had been
patient sufferer, and for the last six
months of her life no one can tell how
she bore the pain common to her Attic
ton. Death came as happy relief
and her soul took its flight to the world
of spirits. Several years since she join
ed the Baptist church, but her health
and opportunities did not allow her the
privilege of developing those christian
graces that possibly otherwise she might
have had.
To the husband and father, who is
left with four little children, the four
sisters and four brothers we extend our
tender sympathies in this their great
sorrow. j. A. Afford.

Bushels of Money IN Sweet Potatoes.
A young man by the name of MILFORD
Jones, who came to Colfax yesterday,
from near Simms, gives US some inter-
esting information about the sweet po-
tato crop raised in the hills of Grant
parish. Mr.. James Wall, living at Nu-
gent, has 16 acres in sweet potatoes.
He dug two acres few days ago,
which yielded 465 bushels, and he sold
for 80 cents bushel, netting him 1912
for the two acres. A near neighbor,
Mr.. Oscar Sibley, has 80 acres in sweet
potatoes. He has dug and shipped FIVE
car loads of his potatoes, and if they
sold at anything like the figures named,
he will make bushels of money on his
crop.

Harvesting on a Big Scale.

The editor took ride with Mr. ]. H.
McNeely on last Thursday through his
Rough and Ready and Mirabeau plan
taiions and it was certainly sight
worth seeing the way he is harvesting
the big crops he has raised this year.
We first visited his $50 acre rice field,
where everything was moving ahead in
fine systematic order. The big reaper
and binder. with couple of attendants
was making rectangular rounds in a
cut of golden rice, moving a wide
swathe at each round, and tieing and
tossing several bundles of rice at regu-
lar intervals. Three negro men follow
ed at about fifty yards apart placing
the bundles in shocks, and moved up
into the next mans place as the ma
ctine went its rounds. Seven or eight
wagons were loading up with the rice
10 another part of the field, where it
had been cut and shocked a few days
before, and was dry enough for the
threshing machine. The threshing ma
crime was located about two hundred
feet from the draining machine, steam
being furnished from the boilers by
means of a long pipe. This is done in
order to get the straw far enough away
from the building to avoid the danger
of fire from the accumulation of rice
straw.
The rice after being loaded on the
wagons is fed directly into the thresh-
ing machine from them, a wagon driv-
ing UP on each side of the machine.
The wagon drivers hand the bundles
over to the feeders, who each have
hooked knife with which they cut the
bundles apart as they are fed to the
machine. As the rough rice is threshed
out it is filled directly into sacks by
men who stand ready for that purpose.
The straw from the threshing ma
chine accumulates very fast, and two
mules hitched to rake are used to
haul the straw about a hundred feet
away where it is pressed into hay.
The hay press is run by gasoline power.
1t does not bale the straw as fast as it
accumulates, and about every third
loud of the straw is put into long rick
of hay where it is left for the stock to
feed on during the winter.
The rice suckers out very soon after
being cut, and where cut a few DAVIS
before it was already several inches
high. This second growth makes a |
magnificent fall pasture, on which two
or three hundred head of stock and
cattle will De pastured.
4 We next drove through several cot
ton, corn and pea fields, and truck
patch or two, in which about five thou /
sand pumpkins were raised that have
just about been fed away to the hogs
on the place. In the cotton fields about
hundred negroes, mostly women and
children, were at work picking cotton.
At the Mirabeau gin we found all was
hustle and stir. Several wagons load
ed with cotton seed, coming in or going
out, were taking their turn at the big
Munser system gin. The capacity of
the gin is from 20 to % bales day,
and thus far this season they have GIN
ned about 440 bales. A good deal of
the cotton comes from adjoining places,
and some of it is brought in from the
hills

Why Beef Is So Hiqh.

A partial explanation of why beef is
so high is that when a young or thin
steer is fed for beef it costs more per
pound to fatten the steer than the pri @
for which the flesh thus added will
sell. Consequently the finished animal
must be sold for enough more to make
up the loss caused by fattoninr it. This
greater price can usually be obtained
on the market because of the improve
ment in quality brought about by the
fattening process.-WisconSin College
of Agriculture.
