The South in the Grip of the Frost
King.

When it comes TO varlaDeDeSS,
March WINDS and woman'S mind are
as stable as the Rock OF Giheralter,
when compared with Louisiana S
weather recently. About eight O'Clock
Saturday evening, after a day of
summer warmth, the wind suddenly
veered to the north and in few. min
utes the south was in the grip OF u
genuine blizzard that ragged for hours,
at times driving fine PARTICLES Of frozen
rain before it that cut like tinv knives.
Sunday dawned cold and raw, and
the temperature has been dropping
considerably below the freezing point
at some time during the twenty-four
hours every day since, with consider
able ice and heavy frosts every night.
The present spell Of weather would
seem TO indicate that the ground hog
knew his business when he went back
into MS hole Friday.

Mr.. Farmer. How about that acre
or two Of potatoes that YOU decided to
plant this spring, when you were pay
ing from two to two and half dollars
bushel for potatoes last summer and
fall? There are 10 more potatoes in
the world now than there was then,
and there will be but few grown ready
for the market as soon as you can
produce them right here in Louisiana.
We have the climate and soil to pro-
duce potatoes as successfully as any
section of the world, and are nearer to
the great markets of the world than
almost any other section of the
country that could hope to compete
with you in the early market. The
opportunity is presented it remains
for you to decide whether YOU will
make an acre or two Of your ground
net you more money by planting it to
potatoes, than you will likely get from
ten to twenty acres sOwn to rice. The
JOURNAL suggests that the farmers of
this section organize a potato growers
club and raise few carloads of early
potatoes for shipment.

City Officials Try Out New Road Drag

A new steel road drag that is being
sold by Mr.. Sam Turner, OF Beau
mont. Texas, received a try-Out on
the streets OF Welsh, Wednesday
morning. The drag Is built in a
measure on the plan OF the old split
log drag, which in itself is one OF the
best implements for working the roads
under certain conditions, yet invented.
The new drag works on the same
principle, but instead of being solid
it is divided into three sections, and
is intended to grade road and also
to smooth it down after it has become
cut up into ruts. The drag was tried
on the streets Wednesday and did
most excellent work, leaving them
leveIed in a manner that could not
have been done in any other way at
anything like the same cost.
This drag costs $4,000 and would be
very good investment for the city to
make as by means Of the streets can
be kept in far better condition in the
future than they have been in the
past, and at very small expense for
teams and labor.

Welsh Citizen Uses Dynamite in Ex
Cayating Holes for Planting
Trees.

While the utilitarian uses of dyna-
mite are maGy, and it's use in digging
holes and in lOOsening up soil has
been successfully employed in many
sections of the country, it remained so
far as we know for Mr.. S. 0. Sc0ggins
to make the first use Of it in this way
in this immediate locality. The latter
part of last week MIR. Scoggins decided
to put out number of orange trees
on his farm in the northeast part of
town, and instead Of spending many
hours digging holes with a shovel, he
lust sunk hole about two feet deep
with bar and put in a stick of dyna-
mite with sufficient fuse to reach the
surface, set match to it and the deed
was done. A stick of dynamite used
in this manner will blow out q hole
practically as large as barrel, and
IN addition to being o great labor
saver, the work is done much better
than it could be done in any other
wav, as the ground is thoroughly
loosened up for several feet around
the hole, and to a depth of several
feet as we'll, thus permitting better
drainage, and also giving the roots a
chance to penetrate the soil, much
better than they could otherwise do.
We believe it will pay any one who
has even small number OF holes to
dig, to let dynamite do the work.
