Montgomery, La, Oct. 10, 1912.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
/ hope you will do me the honor of
granting me space in your paper to say
a few words relative to the farm dem
onstration work in this parish. / would
like to discuss this at length, but / am
sure space will not permit it.
/ do not wish to criticise our police
jury, for consider them able men, and
they are endeavoring to do the right
thing, but l am sorry they saw fit to
discontinue the farm demonstration of
this parish, for in SO doing they have
destroyed one of the best means to adj
vance the farming interests Of the par
ish. When / say the demonstration
work has done good, / am only saying
what every farmer knows to be true.
Even in the short period of its duration
there are many signs of its benefits.
The question confronting us to-day, is
the question that has confronted every
nation, and that is not question of
segregation, nor whether Bull Moose,
Tor Woodrow Wilson will be President,
but it is question of bread. By this
l mean farm products. The govern
ment has long recognized this to be a
fact, and is employing the best talent.
and all the means that is at its disposal
for this end. The demonstration agent
is one of its means to accomplish this
purpose but they ask and expect the
cooperation of the smaller branches Of
our Government. This demonstration
work is for the small farmer, and he
can reach its benefits with but small
cost under the present plan. / do not
mean to say that demonstration can,
will, or is intended to make a scientific
farmer of every farmer in this or any
other parish, nor impart unto them
great knowledge and education, but the
chief object is to interest them in bet
ter methods of farming. When this is
done our American farmers have the
ambition to acquire the knowledge.
The demonstrator is the medium
through which many valuable bulletins,
that have cost time, money, and much
experimenting. find their way into the
hands of the farmer, which otherwise
would remain unread, and would moi
accomplish the great purpose for which
it was intended.
So let US ask for all the assistance
that our police jury can give US along
the line of assistance for the farmers.
My purpose in saying this is prompted
by the interest have in farming, and
to get the farmers to insist on our 20.
lice jury to continue the demonstration
work.

er than eight inches is that in orcsr
to obtain good results the plowed part
must have good connection with the
subsoil, for no packer yet devised will
firm the under part sufficiently. The
air spaces in the plowed soil will break
the capillary attraction from below,
so that no matter how much moisture
is stored II will be of no use to the
growing crop unless there should come
soaking rain that would settle all
the plowed part, exclude the surplus
air and restore connection with the
subsoil We must do with the sub

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
Courage and Pluck Of
Caractacus.

One Of the most unique captives
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler Of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to frighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves.
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart of the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see If Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never did before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal Of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

STOP ESCAPE OF MOISTURE
Farmer In semiArld Regions Should
Use Every EndeaVor to Prevent
Evaporation Of Water.

The escape of moisture, not the
lack of 1t, is what has done the so
called dry west the greater harm.
Today we passed a spot where two
men were digging cellar. 1t is u a
very dry country where all crops -oust
be irrigated. and the subsoil. after go
ing down a foot or two, is almost as
hard as rock and has to be loosened
| by sharp pick or by dynamite.
Across this cellar soil an oil road had
been made which formed a perfectly
impervious crust two or three inches
deep. Through this oil crust no,mois-
ture could by any possibility go to
the soil beneath it, and on the other
hand not a particle of moisture could
escape from the soil under it into the
air above. AS the men slowly dug In
to the fiinty dry subsoil, just beside
this hard waterproof surface they re-
marked that when they got under the
road where no rain moisture could by
any possibility come they feared 1t
just the opposite might not prove to
be the case, the writer with sharp
pick succeeded in barring good strip
Of the soil under the oil road. To the
surprise of the diggers, both soil and
subsoil under this air-tight covering
was so moist that it could be spaded
readily with but very little use of the
pick
We cannot cover our farms with an
alright protector, but in every way
In our power we should shut off evap-
grafton. The high winds, the dry air
and the hot sun all combine to take
the moisture from our soil just when
we need It most.
That is one great reason why the
forest condition brought about by the
cool shady protection of the corn field
leaves our corn land with so much
more moisture in it than open road
ways or grain fields.
The cultivation, too, tends to take
the place of the oiled roadway. For
this reason, too, our grains should be
put in early and as soon as possible be
made to shade and protect the surface
soil.
The same principle is involved when
on some soils some seasons the grain
does so much better for being lightly
narrowed when two inches or SO high.
1t is why lightly dlsked or sharply har-
rowed stubble land grows better corn
or grain If thus treated the moment
the snow is off. Anything and every
thing that will tend to prevent the es-
cape of subsoil moisture will tend just
as strongly to give US good crop and
certain one. Evaporation should be
headed off in every way in our power
1t is like letting our money run to
waste to let our soil moisture get away
| from u.s.
