Chemicals or prepared Phos-.
pilates will find it to their advant-
age to try Pages Fertilizing Salt.
Those who have used it claim that
it gives a splendid return on the
investment and it costs only $500
per ton. 1t is considered especially
valuable for Oats on light, dry
soil. The above named price is SOC
less than last year and is likely TO
be only temporary. Orders there

FARMERS, FREIGHT LINES

See to it That His Wagon Roads
Tributary to His Territory Be
Placed i'm the Best Possible
Condition
BY w. H. Miller, for the Illinois
Bankers Association
(National Crop Improvement Ser
vice.
No leading farmer was ever elect
ed to the state legislature who did
not feel himself thoroughly compet-
ent to "wrassle" with such thrilling
questions as those involved in the
immediate reduction of the rates on
every railroad in the state. And he
feels perfectly free to do, regardless
of the fact that he has no proprie-
tary interest in the railroad. 1t is
true that the farmer does own a
road, doing both a freight and pas
senger business
Farmers Poor Roads
Generally speaking, it is the poor
est road that lies out of doors. 1t
is the poorest built road, generally
speaking, that ever happened. The
road that the farmer owns runs right
by his own farm. The freight rates
on it are so high as to be an out
rage. If the railroads were so poor
ly built, kept in as poor repair, and
charged such preposterous rates
there would be a revolution in thif
country. And we could have no
more farmers Institutes until the
farmers got back from the war. The
road that the farmer owns is the
common, or garden variety of dirt
road, found everywhere in America
and Illinois.
$3.50 a Ton
To haul wheat over it for the av-
erage distance of less than ten miles
costs $3.50 a ton. The rates on Eu-
ropean roads, of the same class, is
only ten to twenty cents per ton. II
costs more per bushel to haul wheat
the average distance from an Amer
lean farm to the railroad station
than it does to transport it from New
York to Liverpool, a distance of 3D.
100 miles. Not being a high-browed
professor from a state agricultural
college, have forgotten the number
of the agricultural department bull
letin where 1 got the figures. But
they're right. The unnecessary and
extravagant cost of haulage on the
poor country roads of this state is
one of the heaviest taxes that the
farmer pays.
Freight ON Dirt Roads

don't he reduce the freight rate on

Mr., TOOLE TO FURNISH
CLARION With
FARM news
Grand Prairie Agriculturist
Will Write for the Benefit
of the Farmers.

The farmer subscribers will be
glad to know that Mr.. J. N.
Toole, who has charge of the
well-knoWn State Agricultural
High School at Pine Prairie will
contribute interesting articles on
various farm topics, from time
to time, in the Clarion.
Mr.. Teole is a graduate of the
Mississippi Agricultural a n d
Mechanical College, which ranks
fifth of it's kind in the United
States and first in the South; he
is an expert agriculturalist and
has been doing splendid work at
the Grand Prairie School. He
has brought that school to the
ranking of the best schools in
Louisiana, and there is no doubt
that he will be able to help the
farmers Of st. Landry, as well
as any surrounding parishes with
his articles on farm topics. Be-
ing acquainted with existing con-
ditions in this portion of the
state his pointers on farming
will be of more interest than the
great farm papers of the South,
Since these papers treat of the
conditions existing throughout
Dixieland. What applies to
Texas does not always apply to
Louisiana and vice versa, but
what applies to st. Landry will
apply to all Of it's sister parishes.
Therefore these articles, which
will be contributed by one of the
best agriculturists in this state,
should give valuable information
to the farmers of southwest
Louisiana.
At the recent parish fair held
in this city the feature of the ex-
hibits were those furnished by
the Grand Prairie High School.
The first of Mr. Toole's regu-
lar articles on farm topics ap-
pears in another column of this
paper and should be of great
interest to all the sturdy tillers
of the soil in this portion of
Louisiana.
