Welsh Planter Produced Over 1900
Barrels of Corn Last Year.

Mr., d. }. BenOit, one OF the we'll
known planters of this section of the
parish who is also a believer in crop
dlversiicatOn, was a pleasant caller
on this Office Wednesday morning. IN
the course OF conversation Mr.. BenOit
was asked how his corn turned out
that he had in last year. Mr., BepQit
stated that as result Of the extremely
dry weather his crop did not do as
well as it should have done, but vet,
even under the extremely adverse
conditions, he made between eleven
and twelve hundred barrels Of corn.
About l25 barrels of this was the
landlords share off a forty acre field
that was but poorly cultivated by
negro, while the remaining 900 bar
rels was produced on about IS acres
tended by Mr.. Benoit himself. While
this is not by any means record
breaking Weld, yet Is a good average
WELD, when it is taken into considera-
ton that the summer of 1911 was un-
qUestiOnably the hardest year on
crops, on account of the long drOuth,
that has been experienced in the past
decade.

Heavy Rains Delay Work in Field
From Ten DAYS to Two Weeks.

One OF the heaviest rains OF the
season began falling here SUNDAY
night and continued with but little
cessation through the greater part Of
the night and Monday, covering the
ground with sheet of water that will
take several days to run off, and will
delay field work from ten DAYS to two
weeks, even though the weather should
clear up at once. There is practical
" no doubt that the present rain,
taken in connection with the extreme
lateness of the season will insure a
shorter acreage of rice in this section
Of the Rice Belt than has hitherto
been contemplated. Indeed it is hard
" probable that the planters will be
enabled to plant as large an acreage
this year as they did last, for in ad-
dition to the present heavy rains that
will delay field work for some time,
the extremely wet winter has prevented
the planters from doing their custom
airy amount of blowing, and now when
they should be ready to begin seeding
whenever the ground becomes dry
enough to work, the majority of them
will have to devote large portion OF
their force to doing the blowing that
would have been done during the
winter, had the weather been favor
able.

WAR DEPARTMENT TO
WAGE WAR ON HYAC|NTHS
Appeal for State, Parish and Person
al Assistance in Keeping
Streams Clear.

The bavous and canals OF Southern
Louisiana are to this section of the
State what wagon roads and rail.
ROADS are to other parts of the country.
They are the highways of travel and
commerce and anything which inter
feres with their free use or restricts
their naVigable capacity is q detri-
ment TO the community and d drag up
on development and prosperity. The
effect OF the water hyacinth upon the
free use OF these waterways needs no
description as it is known to all.
The work of removing this plant has
been placed in the hands of this office,
but the experience Of several wears
IN destroying this great pest and OBJ.
structor has proved beyond question
or doubt that little permanent i'm
provement in conditions can be OBJ
tanned by the United States working
alone as in the past. A blockaded
stream may be relieved for a year
perhaps, in some cases longer, in
others less, but nothing has been ac-
cOmplished towards Graduating the
plant or preventing its return, and
careful study Of the problem leads to
the conclusion that permanent results
can be secured only by the cOOpera-
ton OF the parish authorities, land
owners and business interests affected.
"A plan has been worked out by this
Office which will, it is believed. do
much towards providing permanent
relief, and if it does not result in
eradicating the plant, it will at least
keep it under such control that it will
cease to be the pest tina. it has been
to this time. This plan requires how
ever the assistance of all parties con-
cerned, little from each, not much
any one, and practically no expendi-
ture OF money bv private parties. No
money is desired.
40 this end you are cordially in
7ited and earnestly requested to attend
meeting at which this subject will be
discussed and definite measures taken
This meeting will be held at the
United States Engineers office, Room
1926, Custom House, New Orleans, at
10 a. m. Saturday, March Is, 1912.
The work proposed for the meeting
can he accomplished that dav, so that
those who desire to return home that
evening can do so.
"lt is desired that the meeting be as
representative as possible, and to this
end you are requested to extend this
Invitation to anv persons or business
firms or associations who may be
interested and willing to attend. AS
1t is believed that substantial good
can be accomplished for the entire
southern part of Louisiana, it is earn
estlv hoped that you will be able to
be present and give cordial assist
ance."

Ell PASo, Texas. April 15.-Ameri-
cans and other foreigners are getting
out of the city OF Chihuahua today
following the warning to the Mexican
government and Gen. Pascual Orozco,
that American life and property In

sponsible for all, wanton or illegal
acts against these interests.

fedora! advance upon Chihuahua has

sui at chihuahua. Several promi-
nent merchants of Chihuahua and

HAIR COMB AND RIBBON
IN AUTO--vERY SUSPICIOUS
DR.. Harrison Lay In Wait and
Nabbed Auto Thieves in
His Garage

When DR.. John w. Harrison, No.
42s East Grand boulevard. found a
lady's hair comb In his automobile,
when he went ito the garage to get
his machine. the other morning. DR..
Harrison was perplexed. and finally
became suspicious.
The following morning, after care.
fully locking the machine I'm the
garage the night before, he found q
halr ribbon In the machine. and de.
clded that II was case for Sherlock
Holmes. He notified Detectives Smith
and Cotter. who deduced that some
Iniscreant had way OF getting the
machine out for nocturnal Joy rides.
On Sunday night, at 8 o'clock. DIR.
Harrison was lying In wait for the
mysterious thieves, and saw two
mere lads insert a duplicate kew in
the lock or his garage, and start to
car.
Dr. Harrison grabbed one OF the in,
truders, who proved to be Thomas
Nelson, 10 years old, OF No. 1899 Wa
terloo-st. The other lad escaped. but
Detectives Smith and Cotter, who
were notified OF the capture, learned
from the prisoner who his pal was
and arrested Minor Hansen, aged 1s
OF No. 493 Townsend-ave.
The boys admitted that they hao
used the machine at intervals for
three weeks, and had many a 10y ride
with admiring feminine friends.
Becoming bold at the success OF
their scheme, they overstepped them
selves. and took the auto out Friday
Saturday and Sunday nights in sue
cession, being caught IN the last at
| tempt.
Nelson will be turned over to the
! juvenile court, while Hansen will be
tried on the felony charge OF driving
away with an automobile.

MSS CARLETON
HELPS CHILDREN

Miss Mabel Grace Carleton, super
intendent of schools for the county,
has been a very busy woman lately.
In addition to the many duties Of her
Office. Miss Carleton has planned and
work in the rural schools of the
county, BY which not only do the
children receive the benefit of an ex-
cellent training. but the little tads
under the care of Mr.. Christian. of the
Home Finding Society of Boise, have
their hearts gladdend and their bodies
warmed by well-made garments.
Miss Carleton conceived the idea of
having the children in the rural school
in whose Curriculum Domestic Science
had no place, make Certain simple
garments as part of their school
work. Making the round of the mer-
chants of Canyon County, Miss Car
Teton, assisted by her deputy, Miss
Merits Riddle, then cut out various
garments and distributed them among
the children. These garments were
then sewed by the little girls of the
rural schools and returned to the of
fee of the County Superintendent.
So far lz6 garments-rompers,
waists, dresses and aprons-have been
received and there are yet several
schools to hear from. From one
school each garment carried q little
note of Christmas cheer from the
maker to.the little unknown friend
a very charming conceit. All of the
work has been done by children in
grades below the eighth.
The Midway school, under the able
leadership Of Miss Lydia Thompson,
sister of the Hon. ]. M. Thompson, Of
this city, held 4 social for the benefit
Of the orphaned children, at which
more than $500 was realized.
The idea was most excellent one,
and Miss Carleton is entitled to great
commentator for the efficient way in
which it was carried out. The children
have received not only training in
domestic science work, but in the
humanities. which is fully as import
ant.
