FARM ADVISER
FOR AUDRAIN
WE GET HIM ABOUT THE
FIRST OF THE YEAR.
uow the Matter Works in Other
Counties.

Columbia, Mo-, Dec. 1.-THE
Roard of Curators of the Univer-
sity of Missouri have made it pos
sible to appoint a representative
Of tbe College Of Agriculture in
every county of the State to adj
wise the farmers how to get the
hest results from their work.
Two counties-Pettis and Cape
Girardeau-now have such farm
advisers.
The salaries of these two men
have been paid partly by the
counties and partly by the Col
lege of Agriculture. The action
of the Board of Curators, howev-
er. means that the college will CO.
Operate with the United States
Department of Agriculture, which
was given 100000 by the last
Congress for this work.
Missouri was the first State in
the Union to appoint county farm
advisers as representatives of the
College of Agriculture. c. NJ
McWilliams, adviser of Cape Cir
ardeau County, is said to have
saved the farmers of that county
$1,000 in two months by scientific
methods of treating hog cholera.

FROM ARIZONA.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Heizer Write
an Interesting Letter.

MI. ana MIS-. d. D. IelZer, VINO
left here "A couple of months since
for Arizona to reside for season.
The letter is dated Nov. 80, and
Mr.. Robson permits us to quote
the following therefrom:
This is a beautiful place-the
town of Tempe; foliage and vege-
tation so pretty and green. Roses
and flowers of all kinds decorate
nearly everybody's yard, making
it look like midsummer. The
flowers and strawberries are much
ranker here than in Missouri.
They look like greenhouse plants
in Mexico. OF course they water
them from the irrigating bitches,
and that makes them prettier
plants. The days here are warm
and the sun shines so brightly
4
like midsummer days back home.
But the nights are very cold and
one needs heavy wrap to wear.
There are so many sick people
here that one would guess-at
first thought--this not to be a
healthy climate. People here
from everywhere for their health
from California, Texas, Colo
RADIO, and many other different
states. We all like Missouri much
better than Arizona, but we like
the people here; they are so nice
and sociable, much more cordial
than in Missouri, that is, they are
more friendly to strangers. | sup
pose they have to be, as there are
so many strangers here.
We don't have the rains, damp,
foggy, cloudy days here that we
have back home. One large hotel
here, "The Casa Loma," gives
free meals to all their boarders
every day that the day is cloudy
all day and the sun doeSn t shine
sometime during the day, and they
tell us that it is very seldom the
boarders get the free meals. We
arrived here Oct. 12, and it has
only rained once here since we
came.
Everything is much higher in
price here than back home, except
beef and -four. The beef here -
better too than back home. They
say it is because the cattle here
are not corn fed. Eggs are 40 and
45 cents per dozen. Butter, 35
cents for the ranch make and 40
and 45 cents for creamery. Kraut,
Is cents per gallon. Turnips, 6
for 5 cents. Wood is $500 and
$3.50 per cord, and very common
at that.
We cant see that Mr.. H's
health is much better than when
we came here. Had the grippe and
of course that was quite a set
back.
We are still anxious about the
electric railroad back at Mexico.
Tell them to build on to Santa Fo
before we come back.
Thanksgiving Day we were
highly entertained by a picnic
given by Mace Painter and fam
lily, who once lived near Santa Fe.
1t was called "The Missouri Pic
mic, " and it was rightly named
for there were 10 or IS in attend
ance, all former Missouri people.
VIM. Bishop and family attended,
They are from Santa Fe and came
here last March. Charles Spears
and family, of Hollidy, Mo,
James Camplin and wife, of Santa

ago. Mr.. Hanna is a brother to

Prof. j. l.. Shobe: The Audrain
county schools are making fine
record this year. Better attend
ance, better classification, better
organization, better work all
around, The patrons are becom-
ing wise to the fact that one-half
of the State school money is APP
portioned on attendance, and
that's what S helping the record.
Parents, teachers and school di-
rectors, look after the attendance
and not allow Indifference and
lack of interest to deprive the
children of their school rights as
regards the appropriation above
referred to. In many schools the
attendance is much smaller after
the Christmas holidays. This
should not be so.

Regular meeting OF the folce
Jury of the Parish of St. Mary,
call to order by President Jos.
Brig. Roll Call, present, Messrs.
e. H. Boudreaux, j. U. Bodin, 0.
Boudreanx, Alyre Robichaux, w.
F. Giles, j. R. Drackett, T. Aucoin,
Gabriel Haydel and w. N. Gooch.
District Attorney T. M. Milling
called the attention of the Jury to
the probability of portions of the
parish of st. Mary being over
flowed in the near future, and if
90, to the fact that there would be
q call for assistance from people
in the overlooked district, and he
suggested that the Jury make q
committed now, whose duty it
should be to formulate plans and
be prepared should the necessity
arise. He suggested this because
this overflow might come before
the next regular meeting of the
Jury.
Vice.President Johh R. Drack-
EFT reported upon the whole mat
ter of levee guards and the condi.
ton of the levees in Point Coupee
and West Baton Rouge parishes.
He stated that call for guards
had come to Sheriff Peterman and
himself from Officials of Point
Coupee and that they had consult
ed together in regard to the mat
ter.
The call having been for 100
guards sixty had been taken from
Morgan City and vicinity and
thirty from Franklin and the upper
end of the parish. He had taken
sixty -four in all and had guarded
the levees for fifteen days or until
Torras broke. He had then re-
turned all but IA who were still on
the Port Allen levee as the au-
thorities there needed then very
badly. Mr.. Drackett submitted
an itemized bill of all expenses.
It was moved by Mr.. Drackett,
seconded by Mr.. Gooch, and duly
carried, that the Secretary be in.
structed to write to the police
juries of all the parishes subject
to overflow from the breaking of
the levees and ask them to help
share the expenses just contract
ed for by Mr.. Drackett.
On motion of Mr.. Aucoin, sec.
onded by MIR. Robichaux, a vote
of thanks was rendered Mr.. |
Drackett for his work with the
levee guards.
It was moved by Mr.. Aucoin,
seconded by Mr.. Robichaux and
carried, that q committee of Ave
be appointed whose duty it should |
be to take charge of any relief
on behalf of the Police
Jury, should such be necessary
by reason of an overflow.
There being no further business
the Jury adjourned, the Sheriff,
Treasurer, Clerk of Court and FIJI
nance Committee having filed
their reports and the bills audited
by the Finance Committee were
paid.
