Police Jury Must Settle Their
Own Fight

ASSEMBLY WILL NOT TRY TO BREAK
ST. MARTIN DEADLOCK BY LEGIs-
LATION.
N. 0. Item.
Baton Rouge, La, July 6.-The
attempt to settle by legislation the
police jury deadlock in the Parish
of st. Martin has failed. Eight
police jurors were elected in that
parish in the recent state election,
four of them reformers and four
members Of the organization.
Each faction presented candi-
date for president of tho police
jury, and each candidate got four
votes. Each got them at the first
meeting of the police jury for the
purpose of organizati on and he
has been getting them ever since.
Senator Mouton, of Lafayette,
introduced bill to place a time
limit on the organization of the
police jury, and to allow the dis
trict Judge to name the president
after that time, il none was selec-
ted earlier. The bill was return
cd by the committee to which il
was sent without action and will
DO Withdrawn. So tho contending
forces must get together in St.
st. Martin and settle. their own
faotional dispute, no matter how
difficult it may seem.

FALL POTATOES.
Dear Mr.. Editor:


brought by Irish Potatoes should
stimulate our planters in devoting
a large acreage to this crop this
Fall. The great drawbacks to tho
Fall crop of potatoes have always
been tho difficulty of obtaining a
good stand and tho tendency OF
Fall potatoes being afflicted with
the scab. Both of these Difficult
ties have, however, been removed.
and there is no reason why We
should not raise as many potatoes
in the Fall a. in the Spring. The
first and most important consider
alton 10 obtaining q good stand.
10 do this the potatoes must be
slightly sproutsd before being
planted. The sprouting is very
easily done by following the plan
hers outlined. Small potatoes
ranging in size from a good sized
marble to a pigeons egg should
bs saved from the spring crup of
Triumph or Early Rose potatoes.
In tho first part of July these
email potatoes should be spread
in q cool, airy place In such a
manner that the tubers should not
como in contact Que with another.
Fine moist dirt should then be
scattered over the potatoes to fill
up all the small spaces between
the potatoes and to cover them III
such . manner az to leave only
about ono third of each potato ex-
posed to the light. BY occasional
sprinkling they should bs kept
moist, but not wet.
In about welve days they will
b. sufficiently sproutsd.
Tho second trouble with the
: Fall potatoes 10 very easily over
