We understand that the honor
able Police Jury of our sister par
ish of Concordia passdd resolu-
ton at a recent meeting, MEM
oralizing the Fifth Louisiana
Levee Board to to rnmit the seven
mill tax assessed in the district
for the year 1913.
This assessment OF seven mills
on the present low rate will not
DO more than sufficient to pay
the bonded interest, and it does
seem that to make this REQUEST
comes with rather bad grace from
our neighbor, esp cially. as the
assessment in that parish is placed
at not more than 20 per cent of
the cash value and i'm many in
stances not that much.
Tensas could as justly lay claim
to the same privilege for 10 per
cent of its territory, but they will
not do it.

FARMING THIS YEAR IN MADISON

j. D. MILLER
Assessor.

Through the kindness of Mr..
j. A. Moberly, we have several
specimens of the Mandison Par
ish crops for this year. They are
SO fine that We think they deserve
special mention at our hands.
We have oats which measure
five and a half feet from root to
crown of the heads of which
measure twenty inches aud which
have over two hundred seed pods
or four hundred grains to the
stalk. We have red clover that
stands three and a half feet, al
falfa that is over five feet, and
white clover that is nearly three
feet. pittman Brothers have on
exhibit in their Office specimens
of all these crops that equal or
surpass those that we have, with
samples of rye and barley and
other grain crops grown on Trini-
dad, Leclede, and Mansford plan
tations.
The Oat threshing season is now
on and a number Of the planta-
ton oat crops are averaging over
fifty bushels per acre and in
places runningaS high as eighty
bushels per acre.
There was a time when Madi-
son Parish was the banner cotton
growing section. The boil wee
Villas taught us that this is also
a grain growing country. In this
connection it is we'll for us t.
mention that the Lcspadeza CON
ference will meet here on the oath
and 25th Of this month. This con-
ference is very opportune. Every
farmer in Madison should attend
this conference and learn some
thing of the possibilities and ad-
vantages of the hay crop over
cotton.
One thing is certain: poor la Dor,
high living, and boil weevil have
made it necessary to find a less
expensive and more profitable
crop than cotton. There is always
a cure for every i'll. Let's find
the cure for ours. Grain and hay
seem to be the remedy.

GEO. d. SMITH,
In Chadge.

We reproduce in this issue an
article written by the Hon. As
SCISSOR Of Concordia Parish under
the caption Of" assessments and
Public Utilities. - which is so
betting and applicable to the
spirit of the times. that 81 ably
publish this article.
While in many of Our parishes
i'm the state, the progressive idea
is being pushed TO the front and
the people are realizing that their
churches. schools and good roads
are prime factors in modern civil
ization. Many othersareneglect-
ing these most important factors;
and why should this be?
What have we to offer or induce
,mmipratIon to come among US to
help build up the most fertile
valley unber God = sun?.
That is the first thing that an in
intelligent investor wants to know
how about your roads, schools,
what the matter with your public
Improvements? These things are
the induces Of higher civilization
This is what invites new people
10 help develop country. this is
what gives values to your lands.
This spiritoiprogress must pre-
vail and the advocates OF stagna-
ton. will be swept aside.
One county inTexas voted $500,
600 bond issue for public roads
and a few mills on the dollar in
this country for public utilities is
abnoxions and our people throw
up their hands in horror.
At the present time there is
more land lying idle. splendid
productive soil. in this valley,
than in the republic of France.
This condition cannot prevail,
a revolution along these lines,
must come and then this great
valley will bloom as the gardens
10 France.

owe: them? In what condition are the
iron bridges throughout the parish?
A man with half an eye, riding over
them, can see that they arc rotting
down for want of coat OF paint!
The proceedings further stale "tha,
Mr.. S. u. Lowenburg appeared and ad-
dressed the Police Jury on the question
OF rebairing the public roads along the
Tensas river, and called the attention Of
the Jury to the present deplorable con-
condition OF the roads and the crying
necessity for immediate action in that
regard" | heard that sensible appeal
in which Mr.. LOwenburg stated that he
was willing TO have his property taxed
as much as Z mills on the dollar 10 en-
able him to get to his place from the
Railroad at Clayton otherwise than IN a
boat! But his appeal fell on deaf ears,
except that one member, wife Il second /,
offered resolution apprOp-iating a
small sum to repair some OF the roads,
which was Immediately voted down by
large majority.
That our parish is in a deplora5ie
condition, except financially, there is no
doubt; but since we have a correct di-
agnoxis OF the disease from which it is
neutrality-suspicious., apathy, and a
want OF progressive ideas-it should be
easy to find and apply remedy for the
hook wo.'ms that infest our body polotic
and cause the above named symptoms
and disease under which the parish is
languishing. Other communities have
suffered in a like manner bu: they paid
their money and improved their condi-
ton. If anything Of value has ever
been obtained in this world without
paying for it, that knowiege would be a
revelation to most people. No great
improvement can be effected in a day
or a year, but IN a series OF years, all
could be accomplished by thei applica-
ton of money under economic and scien-
tific methods. Therefore, since the
means cannot be raised by our present
system rapidly enough to put Our roads,
bridges, and public buildings in proper
condition, why not do as other commu-
tiles have done and succeeded-sell our
promises to pay on long time bonds, at
low rate of interest? 1t would not in
crease our taxes much. since there is
no doubt, with the liberal contribu-
lions from the Federal Government for
levees, in tho near future, our Levee
Board would be in position to re-
duce our levee taxes and Offset the
taxes for the bonds. Something should
be should be done for the relief Of the
parish, for if We are to remain floun-
dering in the present rut. which keeps
us 80 years behind the age We live in,
we should petition the Legislature to
wipe Concordia off the map OF Louis
lana, or put it III the hands OF recei-
yer where all defunct corporations be-
long. Let the matter be discussed in
the Sentinel and invite the opinions
Of all those who have tie interests OF
the parish at heart.
Very truly yours,
