positors in another manner if they do
not want to get under the general pro-
visions of the act.
Fraternal Orders.
Henry Neil of the A. Q. U. w, is
here to look into the provisions of
senate bill PIP, the one which proposes
TO regulate fraternal organizations in
the state. 1t is what is called the
Mobile" or New York conference
bin and has been adopted in a number
of states, it's main purpose being to
make fraternal societies more solid.
and put them on a basis which will
not be affected if the growth by new
memberships should not continue to a
point where the organization is not
continually increasing in numbers.
A Saloon Bill.
The bill to place saloon licenses up
to $4,000 a year, and Inviting saloons
to one in each thousand of population,
is the one which is a~gitating not only
the saloon interests at the present
time, but also keeping the anti-saloon
people busy. They look upon this as
practical elimination of the saloon in
many places of the state, in which
the saloon men agree with them. and
they are having some warm confer
ences between the different leaders
before the temperance committees of
the two houses, Rev. Holsaple leading
for the an~ti-saloon people and i. r..
DIETRICH for the liquor interests. The
bill is not yet out of committee and
it will be the subject of yet warmer
discussion if it gets out into the
open.
There Was No Fight.
The expected fight on the floor Of
the house on house bill 2S2, which
eliminates the publication of insur-
NICE statements did not develop. as
the bill went over to Friday on motion
of Leedom. without any discussion.
This promises to be a warm fight
when it finally gets out on the floor
of the house unless there is a decided
change of sentiment before that time
occurs.
Putting the Lid On.
Bridge whist clubs for prizes. shak-
ing dice for cigars, and playing pitch
for the cigars or chips is TO be a
thing of the past in this state if the
senate accepts house bill Al as it pass
ed the house Wednesday. This bill
prohibits playing poker or any other
game with cards, or gambling with
this state with a penalty of fine or
jail sentence if any money or proper
ty' is played for. Several attempts
were made to cut out property" from
the bill, and one member wanted to
know if poker chips were to be class
ed as property, before the final vote.
but no change could be secured, and
the bill went through just as intro
duced, and it is up to the senate.
The Dance Bill.
The senate passed the house bunny
hug dance bill but not until they had
placed a lot OF amendments in the
measure, one of which exempted St.
Vitus dance. and the dances of Indians
over a hundred years of age, II al
other to make it apply only to house

sions, and the house is asked to con.

The project has not been possibl

limited funds subscribed, but new
factors, chiefly the location in oul
parish Of an official farm demonstrat
! or who could supervise the farm, ant
the existence OF q cannery that !;
ready to purchase the products of ths
farm, should now make its accom-
Iplishment easy. The initial expense
would be considerable, but as farm

profit most 1t Is expected that thess
will come forward and make thf

THE CANE AND SUGAR INDUSTRY
OF ST. TAMMANY
PARISH

b A<XVXN41AN
PARISH.
IN the opinion OF many of our cane
pianters in St. Tammany parish
Lhere are numerous advantages to BIZ
mad IN planting the cane during tn.
fall.
For fall planting the land should
be broken and put in good tilth suf.
nc emily early Better crops win Re.
suit II cane is planted on land which
mas the year previously been planted
10 velvet beans, or such crops that
VIII add to the store Of organic mat
ter and nitrogen In the soil. RidRet
rows nve feet apart are probably pro.
ductive OF the best results. although
six-foot rows are more generally used
tbs cane should be covered With
earth to depth cf from tRr9s d
TOUR inches IA order TO. protect Ii
from the cold during winter.
! have learned that in this parish
are raised three kinds Of cane, the
green, which is known as D. "A, thu
DuTlle, and the ribbon cane. Thu
ce!er OF the cane has q marked in
fHelce on the color of the result 'ne
syrup. Therefore, light colored
eafe is to be preferred.
The average, yield Of cane per acre
Of land in the sugar belt Of St. Tam.
many parish is estimated at twent,
% twenty-five per acre. Yields o
twenty-five to thirty and thirty-five
tons per acre are sometimes made.
From the best cane, the best Of
mills. such as are used in the syrup
factories, will not extract more thar
seventy to seventy-five per cent O;
the weight OF cane as juice; one tor
Of cane yielding one-hundred fifty
nine gallons Of juice.
The yield to be obtained in syrur
from an acre of land vary a grea,

obtained from. q ton of cane, because
