farmers Union Meet

Paririe Ronde, La. Oct. IL, 1878.
The St. Landry Parish Union
met here in regular quarterly
session on Saturday the 11th.
This was the second attempt to
a meeting at this place, the first
was to be on Sept. 9th, and
rained out, Of course there was q
nice crowd and all had a good
time and a fine dinner, but it
rained too much for the meeting
to take place, so it was decided
to hold another meeting at this
place.
Promptly at 10 a. m. President
Mills called the house to order
and appointed the Committees
and as soon as they got to work
we had a talk by Mr. G.. P. Stone
of the Phosphate Chemical Co,
Mr.. Stone is a practical farmer
and has tried the Phosphate
Rock ON his own farm 50 he is
well vested in the merits and all
phases of the Phosphate Fertili-
zers. Mr.. Stone made a splen-
did offer to the Farmers's Union,
in fact his offer saves the Union
man OF least 80 per cent on his
fertilizer.
After the speaking a splendid
dinner was served by the ladies
and all did full justice to the
gorgeous feast. The Prairie
Ronde dinners are well known
and need no more boosting than
to watch the crowd eat.
At the Executive session that
afternoon it was found that the
Parish of st. Landry has grown
fully 80 per cent in the past six
ty days, and it is firmly believed
that Prairie Ronde local il the
prize winner, as her secretary,
Nh. J. e. Bertrand, il. has taken
in forty-fve new members in the
last sixty days. Prairie Ronde
is the Banner Local in the State of
Louisiana. The parish agreed to
engage r. Lee Mills az Fertilizer
Agent, at least to appoint him IN
charge Of the fertilizer for this
parish. Knowing as we all do
that the farmers of this parish
use q great quantity of fertilizers
this makes it an important Office,
and as he can save so much 10
the organized farmers there il
no doubt that the Farmer
Union of this parish is on the
high way TO success. To the
men who say that the Farmers
Union is dead we can only say
that We are sorry they were moi
with us at the meeting. We arr
taking in the best material of ths
| parish, men who are substantial

Creosoted Block 81 Years In
Use Brought Here.

One cresoted yellow pine block,
which was in use in Market ST.,
for 81 years in Galveston, Texas,
has been brought to this city.
It is now in the show case at
Shute's Drug Store, as an exhibi-
ton of the durability of the wood
block.
When the block was put down
in Galveston in 1875 it was treat
ed with 8 to 10 pounds of creo-
sote per cubic foot; it was 5 1-5
inches in depth. When it was
removed in 1909 it had worn one
quarter of an inch, being 5 Ia
inches.

Has Three Rings Full Of Acts.

The Yankee Robinson circus
is just as big as it can be. It
has three rings and two elevated
stages-and that is as large as
any circus can grow in this day
and age. The entire perform
aTce is given in the three rings
and the stages-is presented In
such a manner at what angle you
are seated in the canvass you can
see every act-sometimes fifteen
of them going on at one time
with ease. The Wild West per-
Torrance takes place on the race
track. 30 that every part OF this
performance passes you from
two to three times.

Deville Moves Back

MI. Edmond DeviIle, who

came back here sometimes last
week.
Mr.. Deville is well known here
and has scores of friends, all Of

in their midst once more.

The Boil Worm IS Easier
To Destroy Than The
Boil Weevil.

The department of Agriculture
has recently received numerous
inquiries about injury by the
cotton boil worm, especially in
the eastern part of the belt In
many cases this insect has been
confused with the boil Weevil,
and several erroneous reports
about the occurrence of that pest
in new regions have thus become
prevalent.
The boil worm is the larva of a
moth, and only very distantly
related to the weevil which be-
longs to the large natural group
of beetles. The worm when first
Matched is very tiny, but grows
rapidly, becoming finally a little
over an inch long, and greenish
or broWnish in color. The WeeyiI
grub is white and found only
within the cotton square or boil.
It never exceeds one-half inch in
length.
In case Of the present out
break the injury began so late in
the season that little can he done
to protect the present crop.
Nevertheless, a farmer can in
sure the crop of the coming sea-
son against injury by the pest
with comparatively little trouble
and expense. The action that
should be taken wherever injury
has occurred this year is to pick
the cotton as quickly as possible
and Immediately thereafter to
plow and harrow the fields. This
work will result in the destruc-
ton of the immature stages OF
the worm which have passed
lust beneath the surface of the
soil. In addition to the effect in
destroying the insect the plow-
ing and borrowing of the fields
will have very great value in the
/ way Of preparing for the crop OF
the following season.
Methods of control of the boil
worm which are applicable in
different seasons of the year are
described in Farmers Bulletin
go.

Thursday the 18th. was the
seth. birthday Of Judge B. H..

view Of the fact that on that
afternoon each of them. enthuas-

who practically conceded his de-
feat, heard a report from Belle
