DEMONSTRATION WORK,

Secretary Wilson has received
the following report on Depart
ment Demonstration Work III
Louisiana.
Work is being carried on more
or less intensively in A parishes
of the State.
Their are over $4,000 acres IN
actual corn demonstrations. These
demonstrations are located IN all
sections of the State and on soil'
that vary in fertility from thl
deep, sandy uplands to the rel
river bottoms. On this large acre
age in year Of great drouth and
! intense heat during the CROWN
season, the demonstration aver
ace is 30 bushels of corn pei
acre. The estimated state ave.
rage will not be over ID bushels
to the acre.
On nearly $4,000 acres of cot
ton demonstration the average
yield is GA pounds Of seed cot
ton per acre under boil weeVll
conditions. A large part of this
acreage was on alluvial soils I'M
der heavy rainfall from june
25th until late in September. The
weevil infestation Of thes ALA
vial soils began as early as May
18th. One of our travelling
agents had oN = 5000 acres in cot
ton demonstration, included in
the above total on alluvial soils
that averaged 1,24S pounds of
seed cotton to the acre. These
yields prove conclusively that
demonstration methods of prepa-
ration, good seed and cultivation.
combined with the persistent
fighting of the weevil both as
adults and in the squares. will
make a profitable crop under any
reasonable weather conditions.
These results in cotton and corn
are actual tabulated statistics of
the demonstration work in Lou
isiana.
Outside of these regular dem
onstrations. the agents have for
the past five or six years, under
Doctor S. A. Knapp's leadership,
persistently urged the small ara
large farmers both to raise stand
ard crops outside Of cotton and
corn, such as oats, hay and live
stock. The State of Louisiana is
fast developing from where it had
three staple crops, sugar cane,
rice and cotton, to where it is a
state Of diversified agriculture.
The Census returns of 1910 show
that Louisiana is beginning to
take rank in agricultural work,
in the raising Of hay, livestock,
including hogs, cattle and horses,
the raising Of peanuts and the
production of all supplies for the
home on the farm. While the
demonstration work does not
claim credit for all of this in
crease in crops and better meth
DDS, yet it has done a very large
part Of the work.

ELECTION or JUSTICES OF
THE SUPREME COURT.
N. o. Picayune.

The last EDITION OF the New lpe-
Tia Enterprise presents to its pat
rons the candidacy of Chief JUS
tee Breaux in an editorial which
We reproduce in our columns. We
are not aligned in the contest be-
tween the several aspirants, but
we find in this editorial material
for consideration bearing upon
such election sgenerally.
The change from an appointive
to an elective judiciary in so far
as concerns the Supreme Court.
was accomplished in answer to
hue and cry against the political
power Of the executive. lie was
to have been shorn of all power,
ard the Supreme Court was
thrown to the favor Of the masses.
The Picavune does not believe it
was a wise move. although well
intended.
When the Constitution of the
United States was framed by a
convention of the leading states
men and patriots in the new ma
ton, profound attention was Civ
on to the creation of the trihun-
ais Of Justice, and particularly TO
4he organization of the Supreme
Court The Constitution ordalns
that the Judges Of that court ard
of the lesser tribunals of justice
shall be appointed by the presl-
dent. by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, two-thirds
of the senators being required for
confirmation.
Bv this means the president OF
the United States would be en-
abled to select the most fitting
persons for appointment, and at
the same time the requirement Of
the consent Of two-thirds of the
senators prevented the president
from leading the courts with his
creatu es and favorites. Without
desiring in any way to reflect on
the state constitutional convention
which changed the method of ere
ating a state judiciary from that
wise and thoroughly tested and
approved plan created by the
statesmen and patriots who
founded the government, the Pic
ayune has constantly deplored the
change.
But under the law as it stands,
when there is a vacancy on the
Supreme judicial bench the can
didates for this high Office must
set aside the judicial attitude and
enter the turmoil of politics to win
success.
The judge upon the bench eth
err must give part Of his time to
the care of his political interests,
else see others, who are unhamper-
ed, leading active campaigns for
his displacement.
To what extent will the qualifi-
cations of candidate for the Su-
preme Court be measured by an
electorate? What opportunities
have the individual voters to
measure the comparative merits
Of each candidate9
It may be that the one who is
the best vote getter in such an
election may be the one least
qualified to make Jurisprudence.
and still none would suffer but
the people because of the failure
to recognize the proper man for
the place. The liticants paw the
costs and bear the burdens of liti-
cation. Tt hehooves them to keep
the bench above the wiles of the
politicians. and this they may do
only by giving support to can
didate because Of his qualifica-
tions for the bench and not be-
cause Of his political prowess.

Woodbridge, Dec. 6.--The ques-
ton Of enforcing the old Jersey blue

bridge township committee last night,
more than ordinarily interesting. 1t
seems that Robert G. Dix, proprietor
of the Thelma theatre, has been rum
ming Sunday moving picture shows
for some time past. Last Sunday his
place was closed by order of the
Woodbridge police. Mr.. Dix appeared
before the township committee and
asked a number Of interesting ques-
tions which caused much discussion
and afforded no little amusement for
the large number of citizens who
were present.
Mr.. Dix asked that as his theatre
had been closed last Sunday, why
was Boynton Beach, also in the town
ship of Woodbridge, allowed to run
moving picture shows, merry-go-
rounds, etc., on Sundays last sum.
mer? He further asked if the town
ship authorities did not provide po-
lice protection to the owners of
Boynton Beach on Sunday and there
by endorsed these Sunday shows?

itated on his recent success at the

OLD BLUE LA WS
IN WOODBRIDGE

He said he had been told that the
police were paid by the owners of the
beach for such protection and that
the money was turned over to the
township.
Going further into the subject Mr..
Dix asked If it is against the law
for beer saloons to keep open on Sun
day? Also, that if the "blue laws"
are to be enforced in Woodbridge,
will all dry gods stores, shops, etc,
have to close on Sunday? Further,
have the police of Woodbridge made
any raids or tried to stop gambling
in the town Sunday?
When Mr.. Dix had finished his
question, Chairman Dooley turned to
the chief of police and asked why the
Thelma had been closed. The chief
said that when Mr.. Dix spoke about
running moving picture shows on
Sunday he promised to run holy pic
lures" The chief told him at the
time that he did not think the people
of Woodbridge would stand for it.
Lately according to the chief, Mr..
Dix has been running ordinary shows
on Sunday and the officer said when

the boards Of education grant the use

New York, Dec. 6.-Stirred as
never before by the astounding rev.
elations over the manner in which
babies, hardly out of arms, are forced
to work in the tenements of this and
other cities of the state, members of
the State Factory Investigation Com
mission, were today considering rem
dial legislation. Women workers
who have told of the evil, frankly
declared that in many instances the
children had to work or the entire
family would face starvation.
The stories related under oath to
the commission, which will report to
the legislature in January, have been
almost unbelievable in their recital
of hunger and misery. They dealt
with women working side by side
with men in iron foundries perform
ing tasks far beyond their strength
and subject to sudden changes in
temperature, which resulted In many
instances in tuberculosis; of women
working from nine to fourteen hours
nightly in factory and mills; of mere
children working In canneries until
