Report of B. E. Woods on Demonstra-
ton WOrh in Grant.

Grant Parish, La:
Gentlemen-I come before your
honorable body in behalf of agri-
culture and ourl farm demonstra-
ton work in GA;nt parish, and ex-
tend to you our Aost cordial greet
ing for the interest you have man.
Tested in progressive farming.
In doing SO 'am safe in saying
that Irepresenl 90 per cent of the
best farmers and taxpayers of
Grant. While 4 feel that | am
incapable of giving this great
work and my parish. and the gov
eminent all the honor and glory
due them, | feel that it is my duty
to move onward and do all in my
power for the advancement of my
country and people. Knowing
that L have the cooperation and
experience of our best farmers To
back me, and the government bull
letins, which are worth millions
of dollars annually to our farmers
to distribute among them, and
that my work has been satisfactory
to both the Washington and State
offices, and that 50 per cent of the
demonstrators of Grant want me
to continue in the work, | feel very
grateful to them for their kindness
and cooperation.
Gentlemen, you must remember
that only few years ago we plant
ed our crops once year, regard
less of seed bed or preparation,
and looked to Providence for re-
suits, and if the Lord did not do
his part we would go fishing or.
hunting, and buy our supplies on
credit the next year, and blame
the Lord and our country mer-
chants for our failure, just as the
hobo, tramp, loafer, discontinued,
and anarchist blame our govern
ment to-day. Gentlemen, l am
glad that l can say that We have
but few men on the farm of this
class. / am glad that we have on
ly few who know more than our
government, and know all they de-
sire to know, too full of themselves
to learn anything. This is the
class that oppose our demonstra-
ton work. Bat a new day has
dawned, and there is a brighter
day coming. Intelligent farmers
have no time to complain, bnt
plant over again aud again until
they get stand aud a crop that
suits them, and generally get two
crops year from the same land,
and often a wiuter cover crop to
pasture their live stock. We are
building better dwellings and
barns, we are raising more and
better graded live stock, we are
building a better manhood, and
building up our lands with COW
peas and barn yard fertilizers
We are making twice as nnch pei
acre as we did few years ago.
We have no hungry children Oh
the farm in Grant. We raise
plenty of feed for all live stock.
Many young men are returning
from college, saw mill and public
works to the farm. We are be-
| ginning to clear our land of stumps
and roots, We are terracing and re-
deeming our worn hill lands, and
draining our level bottom lands,
and using manv improved farm
implements. We are raising fair
Yields of cotton, Notwithstanding
lDoll weevil conditions. We have
tine lands all over the parish, any
variety wanted, at low prices, aud
any man with little ambition, en-
ergy and economy, can soon own q

Agricultural Exhibit is Shown
Here Following Rainstorm.
A SPECIAL BEE LECTURE
DR.. Ward Impresses His Hearers
With the Possibility Of Bee
Culture and Points Out the
Many Advantages to Be Deriv-
ed From Such Culture-Train
of Nine Cars.

The Agricultural train OF nine cars
came to Newport last Thursday after
noon at 2:30, although rain storm
came up just before the arrival of the
train, there was good crowd here
and the train was thronged with sight
seers nearly all the time it, was in the
local yards.
One of the cars that attracted most
attention in the city was equipred
with canned goods, preserves, elders,
jellies and hundreds of other articles
made in the homes.
DR.. j. s. Ward, state inspector OF
bees, has car equipred with all of
the modern appliances for the care of
bees, and for the making of honey. In
this car are carried several hives Of
Italian bees, said to be the best variety
for this section. Some of the young
bees in this car have been Matched
since the special started on its tour of
the state, July /. DR.. Ward said that
the Italian bees are the best for this
section. He said they are the most
gentle and productive in the country.
They fight the moth that destroys the
young, and they are also claimed to
be the most industrious bees that have
been domesticated. DR.. Ward owns
farm on which bees are cultivated,
near Nashville. He is physician,
and was connected with the medical
department of the University of Ten
nessee for number of years. In re-
cent years, lie has devoted all his at
tention to the bee industry. He is
said to be one of the best posted men
in the south on the bee industry. He
said that some of the counties of the
state had been infected by a bee disease
that affected the young bees before
they are old enough to produce honey.
The disease kills many Of the bees, and
seriously handicaps the production OF
uOuey III tiC oCoeO' ~Aoiu0 iioii VIZ
bees and various separators that are
carried in the car may be found num-
ber of specimens of honey made from
the bloom of white clover and from
other blooms.
The equipment was furnished by
the Southern railway. Live stock and
every variety of products from the
farms and orchards of Tennessee are
being exhibited on the cars. Some OF
the largest specimens of Irish and
sweet potatoes ever seen in this city
are carried in the vegetable car. The
car where dairy products are exhibit
ed attracted much attention here.

HEAD WAS CRUSHED IN
Grover Hooper, Aged % Years,
of Ooltewah, Tennessee, Met
Instant Death When He Fell
From a Thirty-fve Foot Tres
tie, Alighting on the Back of
of His Neck.

Grover Hooper, aged % years, a
brakeman on one of the logging trains
of the Champion Lumber Company
was inst<Atly killed Saturday morn
ing when he fell from The train as il
was crossing high trestle.
The unfortunate young man fell to
the trestle and then dropped head fore
most to the ground below, alighting
on the back of his neck. one side of his
head being crashed in and many bones
broken in his body.
The remains were brought to New
port and prepared for burial, but dur
ing the delay in ascertaining where
the remains should be shipped, it was
necessary to hold the body until
Sunday morning at which time it
was shipped TO Ooltewah, Tenn. The
deceased was a fine looking young
man, of ideal build and a thing notic-
able about him when brought to local
undertakes was the fact that his
hands were perfectly manicured and
were almost snow white, which alone
indicated that he must have come
from good family.
