GAN GET INTO MARKET
AHEAD OTHER FARMER
Splendid advantages offered Rice Farnars n
81. Landry Parish Means Batiar Prleks.

ST. Landry IS the eomming
home II ice dnctipn.
Besides the adap stability o the
soil. the irrigation facilities are
superior to other section, i has
come to the knowledge Of plan
ters that st. Landry rice can be
cotton to market ahead Of other
rice, aud that means better
prices.
The Washington Herald Of last
week speaks on the subject as
follows:
The St. Landry rice farmer can
get into the market with his rice
several weeks ahead of the rice
farmer Of Acadia, Vermilion and
Calcasieu and that means better
prices for his rice. In addition to
that, the quality Of St. Landry
rice is admittedly equalled only by
the rice grown in the best Of the
river parishes.
In other sections of the rice.
belt farmers are being urged to
make othsr crops auxiliary torice.
Farmers here do not have to be
taught diversified farming Al
ready they raise cotton corn,
cane, potatoes. poultry, vege.
tables and live stock.
The seasonably planted rice is
showing up better than the aver
age, but there is ailarge percent
age Of rice that was planted IN
June and even some planted in
July. While the seasonabIy plant
ed riceis now practically made
much oft being headed out, the
fate Of the late planted crop will
be problematical for several
weeks. Old rice planters prefer
to get their crop planted By May
20, and rice put in the ground
after June is not usually expect
ed to yield a full crop. Thus far
everything has favored the late
plantedrce, and a late fall might
make q normal yield.

Governor of Arkansas Set Up Pardon
Record-Denounees Prison System.
In Explaining Wholesale Exercise
of Clemency, Attacks Conditions in
Convict Camp.

Little Rock, AJAX, Dec. 16.-Gov.
Donaghey, who will retire from of
flee, January 1, issued pardons today
to BIG State and A county convicts as
protest against the convict lease
system in vogue in this State. hs Il
resul three State convict camps will
be abolished Several camps where
convicts are engaged in the building
of good roads, however, will be con-
tlnued in operation. The convicts par
doned were serving sentences of from
one to Is years.
The governor in a statement ex-
planning his action in issuing the par
dons, scored the convict lease system
and magistrates who imposed lengthy
sentences for trivial offenses.
The governor in his statement de-
clares reports made to him by special
agents of conditions existing on State
and county farms "could scarcely be
accepted as truth among civilized
people but for the records in the
case"
The statement does not give the in
formation secured in detail.
In answer to his critics, whom the
governor quotes as having said that a
State penitentiary "could not be de-
signed as Sunday School," he says:
"Nor was it designed as revengeful
hell, and in measure that is what
it has resolved itself into"
OF the minor courts Gov. Donaghey
says:
The abuse of power shown by a
few individuals acting as justices of
the peace is enough to stagger into
amezement those who have given the
matter no attention"
