To the Citizens of Franklinton.

Franklinton, La. June lin
assuming the duties of Mayor of
your town co fill the unexpired
term of the Hon Robert Babing-
ton, | do so at the earnest solicit
tation of friends and tax payers
of the town. | fully realize the
responsibilities and duties of the
position, having filled the office
before, but l desire to state to
the citizens of the town, some
OF my views on the questions
that at present concern the well
fare of our municipality. I am
opposed to gambling in any form
and propose during my admins
tration to wage an unceasing
warfare upon any and every
form of that vice. The Constitu-
ton of the state declares it to be
a vice. lam also equally opposed
to the violations of the prohibi-
ton law, and I shall therefore
wage war on the violators of this
ordinance of the town. which is
also violation of the law of the
state. In my efforts to remedy
these evils I ask the co-opera-
ton and assistance of all the good
citizens of the town, and I here
bv pledge myself that if am &C.
corded that cooperation that l |
will try to rid the town of Frank |
linton of these and all other evils. |
Our school is one of the greatest
assets of the town and we cannot |
reasonably expect the support
of the other portions of the parish
unless we do everything that lies
within our power and that is
warranted by law to make the
town of Franklinton one that
will commend itself to parents
and patrons of the school, there
fore again and in all sincerity
ask of all the good citizens their
cooperation and moral support
IN my endeavors to carry out nv
views of what is best for the
Town and for the community.
Respectfully,
D. E. Branch.
Mayor.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
POTATO GROWERS
Government Quarantine Against For
eign Potatoes viii Have Tendency
to Increase Prices.


Next year win be an especially
good year for raising Irish potatoes,
IL present indications count for any
thing. The quarantine placed by
the United States government
against importation of foreign po-
tatoes will, of course, have a ten
dency to increase the price of the
home grown crop. 1t takes about
$50, 900, 900 bushels Of potatoes to
supply the American demand, and
this demand will naturally increase
from rear to year.
The foreign potatoes were quar-
antined to prevent the importation
of a very troublesome disease known
as the BLACK Potato Canker," and
II seems a very wise law on the part
of the government. We have i'm
ported too many plant diseases and
Injurious insects already. In the
South we have not been troubled
with potato diseases that amount to
anything except two; known as late
and early blight. It has been de-
monstrated that these can be pre-
vented in a large measure, at least,
by spraying with bordeaux mixture.
But they can not be cured with this
spray after once becoming affected
with the disease. The spraying must
commence when the plants are about
six inches high and be continued
every ten or fourteen days until
they are matured. Many Of the
Northern states are adopting this
remedy with great success. For ex-
ample, the New York experiment
station has been making a test for
ten years as to the yield of potatoes
sprayed and those unsprayed. At
Geneva, where the station is located.
six sprayings on one crop, during
the ten year experiments, increased
the yield So bushels per acre; and
three spraying to one crop increased
the yield p bushels. In twelve
Farmers Business Experiments
including 21S acres, the average
gain due to spraying, was 10 bush
pense of spraying was s4.04 per acre
and the average net profit was $3.50
per acre.
Five volunteer experimenters re-
ported gains averaging So bushels
per acre. OF course, such large in
GREASE of yields you'd not be OBJ
tainable on truck crop potatoes, or
on the Triumph variety of potatoes;
because, in the first place, thy are
not allowed to mature, but are
rushed to market to secure an early
high price. before many of the po-
tatoes have reached a marketable
condition. In theNsecond place, the
Triumph Is not a prolific variety.
It's earliness is really the only thinl
TO recommend it.
Seed potatoes brought into this
state r very commonly affected
with a troublesome disease known
as "scab." This is a bacterial dis
ease, that when once introduced into
the soil is difficult to get rid of.
Therefore, all seed potatoes should
be carefully inspected for ''scab,'
and if there is any evidence of the
disease they should be treated with
a formaldehyde solution or a BIZ
chloride solution.
The price of seed potatoes is likely
to increase from this time on, and
farmers expecting to plant should
make arrangements early for their
seed. Because the seed when at a
reasonable price even, are the most
expensive part of the crop.

was ready to meet the Englishman when the latter was here last fall. but for some reason Wells backed out. The time is ripe for settlement, however, and if Wells and his manager are really anxious for a battle with McFarfand, they can have a $15.000 purse with any reason able cut up. Mcfarland, in my opinion, can outpoint Wells at 135 pounds at o'clock, which is the English champion s best fighting weight. Packy has left the matter to me, and I'm ready to sign articles for him at moments notice"
 It is reported that secret negotiations are under way for a bout between Meg ar land and Wells in a western town, but the Fairmont Athletic clubs s15,O00 purse doubtless will sidetrack the scheme. This offer is the largest made by a boxing club in this state since the Frawley law went into effect last August.
