Welsh Farmer Making Coco, Use of
Home Cannery. e

If all the planters in Louisiana would
adopt the methods to combat "The high
cost of living" that have been adopted
by one Of our Welsh planters, there
would be little complaint Of this deplor
able condition, ION Louisianans at
least. Mr.. John McDavitt purchased
Home Canning Outfit last year at a
cost of about $500 and although new
at the business they put up something
over four hundred cans of fruit and
vegetables which practically supplied
the family the entire year. This year
they expect to put up from 1000 to
1900 cans. They are now canning
tomatoes, beans, and little later will
begin Oh corn. In fact. Mr.. McDavitt
says he can can anything that is can.
able with his outfit, not excepting
meats sausage etc.
A Home Canning Outfit in the home
OF every planter, or in every little
neighborhood Would eleminate the
spending of many thousands of dollars
for canned goods by Louisiana planters
and would at the same time furnish
their table with better grade of
canned goods than can be bought at
the stores.
We would be glad to hear of others
who are making success Of the home
canning outfits.

Southern Pacific Making Desirable
improvements Here.

The Southern Pacific Railroad Com.
pany has force of men at work here
this week making some decided i'm.
provementS on their passenger depot
site. They are preparing to put in a
cement culvert or drain extending
along the south side of the depot lot so
as to connect the open drain ditch they
have been digging extending the full
length of their right-of.Way from the
bayou ON the east side of town to that
on the west. In addition to this
cement drain they will also put down a
block of cement walk along the south
side OF the passenger depot lot, con.
Meeting the walks on Elm and Polk
Streets. This will add much to the
appearance as well as the convenience
of their properties here.
We are informen that this worthy
improvement is to be accredited to the
Civic Deague, who took the matter Of
the unsanitary conditions Of the old
drain UP with Mr.. Tubbs, some months
ago, and that the same was carried to
those Higher up" and has resulted iii
the present improvements being made.
The League is now asking, and we
trust with success, that the railroad
