Ernest BrasSeuX
Leaves Suddenly

Recently the Peoples Bank and
Trust Co. filed suit to recover the
sum of S257 for a note against
Mr.. Ernest BrasseuX, former
president of the police jury. In
answering the suit Mr.. Adolph
Primeaux claims that his signature
was forged, while the other
signatures on the note were signed
by the parties themselves.
Monday night Mr.. Brasseux
disappeared, leaving a note to the
effect that he was gone forever,
and as yet we are unable to learn
whether or not his whereabouts
are known.
AIr. BrasseuX owned property
here. His wife is dead, while his
mother lives. He also has several
children.
1t was rumored that the horse he
was'riding was found out near the
marsh.

A Great Improvement.

The plot of ground recently
acquired by Mr.. P. L. Broussard,
near the depot, has been leveled
off and the little coulee that passed
through the place has been filled
up, and now is one of the prettiest
sites in the CITY. Mr.. Broussard
will Use it for his lumber yard.
Mr.. BrousSard certainly deserved
praise for the Improvement he has
made for our little town, and no
doubt will have a very choice
location for such business.

Communication.

1t appears that something is the
matter with the engineering prob
lens of the government locks
located on Schooner Bayou, in
this parish. Notice has been given
to Mayor Schultz, chief of the
United States corps of engineers
with reference to that matter.
The complaint is: that the clos
ing up of the natural stream of
Schooner Bayou is not sufficiently
equalized by the opening left at
the locks.
1t would also be very gratifying
for our people to see something
doing on the extension of the In
land Waterway. 1t seems reason
able to think that the surveys are
about made to some result.
The stretch OF the Inland canal,
from White Lake to Vermilior
Bay is of such commercial value tc
us that it is not surprising that we
are anxious to see the balance
finished to Bayou Teche;
The cut off from Schooner Bayou
to Vermilion river; making the
route six miles shorter and afford
ing deep water and safe navigation
to the traffic from Cow Island
Pecan Island, Grand Chenier ant
other places, to Abbeville is o
great interest to us and we woulC
like to have something done soon
1t is high time for our local paper
to take the matter up.

WHEN TO CUT MAIZE.
To Avoid Loss In Food Value Pre-
pare Silage at Right Time.

Maize should be cut neither too early
nor too late for the silo. When placed
in the silo before it is mature it con-
tains much sugar, which later forms
starch. When placed in the silO while
this large amount of sugar is present
the sugar fermentS. turns to alcohol,
carbon dioNide and acids. which
means an almost total loss of the sug-
ar and sour, unpalatable, unhealthful
silage.
Frost burnt maize differs from I'M
frosted chiefly in loss of water. Frost
ed maize therefore makes as good 81
lage as unfrosted when water is added
in making the silage, provided the crop
is cut before the leaves drop off.
Maize has approximately a ton more
dry matter per acre when ripe than
when in the milk; hence to avoid great
losses in food values it should be cut
for silage when it is ripe or at least in
the glazing stage-Farm Journal.
