Those who passed on the Bridge
this week wondered if it was pos
sible for the town administration
10 permit such an accumulation of
mud upon the bridge when it
would have been 80 ensy for a
man with spade to dump the
mud in the bayou. Also to per-
nit that deep hole right at the EN-
trance Of the bridge when one or
two losds of shell could have filled
it up, and the work done in half
an hour. Can our people see such
things aud be satisfied with the
present town administration? We
know that the weather is bad and
we must expect the bad condition
of the streets, but much could be
done for the bencfi' of our people
which is not attended to.

Those who attended the perfor-
nance at the Opera House last Sa-
turday were surprised and disap-
pointed at the wild and unciviliz-
ed conduct of the boys in tho rear
of the hall. Their brutal tapping
of their feet, their shrek hand
noise aud piercing whistling,would
have been horror in the widest
jungles of Africa, and yet all this
was tolerated in a theatre hall in
St. Martinvills, in the presence of
the manager aud the police. We
believe such uncivilized Demon
stration of the boys should be
stopped, or they should be thrown
out of the hall. If such noise is
permitted to continue the best
people will have to abstain from
going to any place to be witnesses
to anything of this kind. We
hope that in the future the man.

ments will see that the peace of
those who 30 out for pleasure is
not disturbed by a set of young

Those of our planters who have
lost cane are now thinking about
tho labor and expense of removing
the spoiled cane, which must be
done very shortly. Nearly all the
planters have lost come cane, but
we believe this immediate section

planters will lose large amounts uf
cane, some, however will sustain
heavy losses.

"W. S. r." Writes of Conditions as He
Sees Them, Suggests Reforms
A letter was received at the Herald
office yesterday signed wv. S. r." in
which the writer predicted dire things
if fruit waste did not become sub
stantially less than this season. He
stated that the waste was partly due
to "a lack of intelligent and trained
supervision in packing boxed fruits
for the market and lack of know.-
edge how to economically dispose of
the second grade fruits
The writer commends the business
sagacity of Chinese and Japanese
ranchers in California to the atten-
ton of Yakima growers. He urges
extensive cooperation of the grow
ers, the meeting n growers under
the auspices of the business men to
discuss prices and other matters of
Importance, and the owning of the
cannery and evaporator by the grow
'ers themselves.

Hints for the Orchard
- - and Farm - =
Strawberries On small space

For those who have not the advant-
age of large strawberry bed, here is
a method by which one may solve the
problem, and it does not call for much
eXertion where economy of space is
the first consideration.
A strong box or barrel is needed
something that will stand the general
conditions of the weather. Bore holes
in the bottom of the box or barrel for
drainage. and also several rows of
inch holes on the sides, holes at least
six inches apart. and each row the
same distance. with the first and third
rows of holes directly above each 9TH
err, and so on alternately. Set the box
or barrel on small blocks of wood to
assist drainage.
Soil of the same quality as that pre-
pared for bed in open ground is re-
quired, and in placing in the box it
must be sifted or sprinkled during the
whole course of the work of filing.
Fill up in this, manner to the first row
of holes, and after placing a plant
well in each hole. cover up the roots
of the plant by this sprinkling process
to the next row of holes. and so on
until full. Unless this method is used
to put the dirt in, the plants will be
drawn out Of position when the mass
settles. Plants are, of course, placed
on the top of the barrel or box Strong
wires around the sides, if box is
used, will assist in keeping it together
if placed on before filling.
Such a prepared bed of strawberries
will supply the wants of any ordinary
household, and more too, If more
than one box is prepared. There are
advantages, also, in this method of
raising them: there are no weeds to
keep down, a bucket of water gently
poured on will supply all the moisture
needed. the berries are clean and easy
to pick, and the whole batch of plants
can be covered with little trouble If
necessary to protect from late FROST

Care of Raspberries

An Iowa subscriber writes:
II need some instructions on the
care of raspberry patch Should
all the new stock be pulled out each
spring from the old and first setting
My first setting seems to be dying and

set out to enlarge the patch, the ones
that come up in the spring or some
of this years growth? They are
black cap raspberries. and bore quite
small amount, not as much as they
should
The canes of blackberries and
black-cap raspberries live but two
years. consequently the old canes
should always be cut out at the end
of the second year and the new canes
be permitted to grow. Black cap
raspberries are propagated from the
tips of the canes which started the
previous summer. These should be
bent over and allowed to take root
After the roots have been well formed
the canes may be cut off and the new
plants used to start another patch
Two or three canes will start from the
roots the first year they are planted.
After these reach a height of two feet
or slightly more, the ends should be
pinched Off This will stimulate the
sending out of side branches and
make the plants grow strong, and in
crease the amount of fruit. This
pinching off should be done also with
the new canes which come out the
same year afterward, and the old
canes should be cut out after the
fruit is harvested, although they may
be allowed to stand until the next
spring without harm.
The red varieties of raspberries are
propagated either from root cuttings
or from suckers which appear from
the root, the latter being the most
common method. The two-year-old
canes should be cut out of the red
raspberries after they have borne
fruit, just as with the black rasp-
berries.-Wallace' Farmer.

Mexico News

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21.-Six
months ago residents OF Mexico's
capital were afraid there would be
Intervention. Today a fair part of
those same people are afraid there
will not be. When the United States
Is going to take hand in Mexico's
troubles forms the basis for half the
conversation wherever foreigners are
gathered. When Pascual Orozco
stepped at the head of his rebel army
a man who dared suggest that a for
eign army would some day be reuuir-
ed to restore order was made to feel
uncomfortable by the replies But
the attitude of most foreigners has
changed and 1t is not difficult to find
scores of Mexicans who agree that
their government is almost helpless.
President Madero began his cam
paign against the rebels on the old
premise that 1--WE have the men and
we have the money" assuming
therefore, that the government was
bound to win. The government has
not lost and 1t may win. but 1t Is by
no means certain that 1t has enough
men and IL Is certain that money Is
scarce.
| The rebel army of the north, due
largely to the difficulties encountered
in getting ammunition, has been
forced to divide into light columns
but 1t Is still in existence and wor-
rying the federal army more, per-
haps, than 1t did when 1t mas massed
along the Mexican Central railway
north and south in Chihuahua.
IN
Salgadistas and various other groups
are more formidable than they were
when Madero went into office almost
year ago. Instead of suppressing
the rebellion the government has
permitted it to expand. Instead OF
life and property or non-combatants
being made more safe they have been
made more precarious and slowly the
rebels appear to be losing that respect
they once had for foreigners and
their property
An army much larger than that
now in the field might make more
progress in restoring order but Mex
leans have not crowded the recruiting
offices and companies of volunteers"
have in few cases been made up
of prisoners. some of whom chose
military service as a substitute for
prison life and some of whom were
deliberately forced into the army
Life In the army, even to crush a
rebellion, has not appealed to the
average Mexican whose attitude to-
wards the difficulties of the admins
tration is wholly passive.
If the government can secure the
money 1t is possible the struggle may
be prolonged. 1t is costing something
like 100000 pesos ($1,75O0,0O0) Il
month to continue the war. Two
loans have been made and 1t is re-
ported an effort is being made To Sc.
sure another The nations income
has been materially reduced Impor-
tations have fallen off to a marked
degree and ordinary businss through

Feed the Land

The question of soil fertility is be-
ginning to be live one in almost all
the states of the American northwest.
The continuous grain farming system
has depleted the soil until the ques-
ton of soil fertility is big problem.
In too many localities it has been
wheat, wheat one year after another,
until the bulk of the plant has been
shipped out. Much of it has gone to
the eastern states and some of it to
foreign countries The question today
is, what shall be done to restore at
least a part of this fertility? In the
past 20 years every 100 acres that was
cropped to continuous wheat has
given up $4,000 worth OF its fertility.
Can we hope to restore this in the
coming 20 years?
Dairying has been suggested by
many as the restorative to be used.
Very well, any kind of live stock that
can be grown will help to maintain
the soil fertility at least The pest OF
all remedies, however would be the
system of applying green manure
crops. To depend entirely on live
stock for the restoring of the soil fer
tility would be a slow process. and
the live stock farm would only grow
richer at the expense of some other
farm that is furnishing part of the
feeds for the live stock raising.
Leguminous plants alone are able
to take free nitrogen from the air and
store it up for future use. In order to
get the benefit of this nitrogen the
crop must be plowed under Clovers,
alfalfa and peas are the most COM
mon nitrogen gathering plants grown
in the American northwest Where
either of these crops are grown and
plowed under, a wonderful difference
will be noted in the succeeding crops.
With the clover it is good practice 20

second one under 1t is hard for most
people to see the advisability of this,
but remember, brother farmer, if you
We're to draw on your bank account

Apply this to your operations in soil
fertility.
In some cases some of the cerals
are grown, such as fall rye, which is
pastured during the fall and spring,
then plowed under and another crop
planted. This is all right as far at ii
goes The direct results are due more
to the fine physical condition OF the
soil and the manure deposited while
pasturing than to the direct increase
in the soil fertility from the crop

PARIS GOSSIP
WHAT THOSE WHO KNOW" IN THE
CITY ON THE SEINE ARE SAYING

PARIS, Sept. 21.--Public opinion
in France has been. for some time
past. alarmed by the rapid growth of
anti-patriotic spirit in the ranks of
the public school teachers, and tn >
action of the government in ordering
the suppression of the Teachers I'm
ion after the very improper resolu-
tions passed at the recent Congress
of the National Federation of Teach
ers' Unions, has met with general an
prevail.
1t has long been clear that the
Teachers Union, which in many Dis
partments have taken the place of
the old Friendly Societies and are
frankly political in their intentions,
have come under the control of the
extreme section of the profession. At
the recent congress 40 unions were
represented. an increase of II since
last year
Attempts are made by the more
moderate section of the teachers -
suggest that the resolutions passed
do not express the opiniCl OF t'e
great majority of the profession. but
the fact remains that they were PASS
ed unanimously, and if .he belief en-
pressed in 1905 by NJ Rouvier, then
Prime Minister, was correct--namely,
that 40 per cent of the teachers we've
at that time contaminated with syn
dicalism, 1t seems likely that, with
the general growth of the movement.
the evil today is so widely spread IS
amply to justify the general alarm
which fills the columns of the press
Al, 81,
which has especially brought dow1
upon 1t the condemnation of the gov
eminent, was one expressing the ad-
herence of the Federation to an anti
mllitarist organization known as the
sou du Solcat'--the Soldiers
Cent This organization was urigl-
naily started by The Masons Union OF
Paris, and seeks with the proceeds
of collection OF one cent month
among its members, to spread anti
militarism in the army. Its object
i'll TACT is to promote in the army
the propaganda OF the General Ia
Dor Federation.
Last year NJ. Messing the Minister
OF War, cndeavored 10y prosecuting
all soldiers known to bCloug to the
organization to put stop to the evil.
1t is, therefore, considered particularly
alarming, from the patriotic point OF
view, to find the Federation of Teach
ers, with whom rests the duty OF IN
structing the youth of France in pa
triotic ideals, publicly declaring its
adhesion to this movement. The
Teachers Unions have no legal Ak
istence, but have been merely toler-
ated, like other existing unions of
officials, pending legislation.
