asked, HAS the hog business
been a profitable business with
you?" This question was some
what personal, but 154 breeders
answered it a y. I e
answers to these two questions
are exceedingly in teresting mas
much as they show the relation
ship between pastures and prof
fits. Of the number of breed
ers replying all except eight or
ten stated that they make use of
permanent pastures. The ma
jority Of those who do not have
permanent pastures are, accord
ing to their own statements, los
ing money on the hog business.
Without exception, those who
are making liberal use of pas
lures state that they are salts

FARMERS ATTENTION!
Selecting Seed Corn In The
Field.

One of the easiest ways to in.
crease corn production is by the
use Of improved seed; and the
simplest way to get improved
seed is to select ones own seed
in the field. As long as we con-
tinue to pick out our seed corn
from the general supply in the
crib, just so long will our yield
per acre remain far below what
it should be. The principle upon
which field selection is based is
that like produces like. Ii a
farmer decides to raise a good
milch COW, he selects the calf of
a good mixer, knowing that, all
other conditions being equal, the
probabilities are that the better
the dam the better the offspring
will be. So it is with corn.
In other words, before one can
say whether a given ear is fit for
seed, he must know what kind
of mother plant produced that
seed. It must not be judged
that, because an ear seems good,
the plant which produced it was
the right sort to breed from, for
this plant may have grown un-
der such unusually favorable
conditions that the ear is the
product of these conditions rath-
er than of the inherent good
qualities of the mother plant.
Field selection of seed corn
should be done of this season or
before the corn is broken and
placed in bulk. A good plan is
to go through the plot where the
best corn is growing and select
the ear or ears from the stalks
producing the most desired type.
Some qualities in a stalk of corn.
then, that mark it as a fit plant
to gather seed from are as fol-
lows:
1st. The stalk should be free
of suckers and bear an apparent
" good ear Tin the prolific varie-
ties; two ears). The shuck
should extend completely over
the tips and cover it tightly; the
shank should be rather small and
long enough to permit the ear to
droop when thoroughly dry: the
ear should stand at a height OF
four to FIVE feetfrom the ground.
The large-stalked, one-eared va
rieties bear their ears higher
than do the prolific varieties.
End. The stalk should not be
excessively tall, about eight feet
in the small ear varieties and not
more than ten feet in the large
yEsw"ps

Local Veterans Pass Resolution
Asking For More Pension.

The members of r. L. Lee
Camp No. Ia, of this city, passed
d resolution, at its last meeting.
asking the state authorities TO
give them a more honorable and
less repulsive form of applying
for the pension collected from
the one mill tax, paid by the tax
payers of this state, and, which
is known as the Confederate
pension fund.
After the resolution was pass
ed it was decided that copies of
it be sent TO every y. G. ". Camp
in the state, for approval at the
Monroe reunion, which will be
held next month.
The old Confederate soldiers,
who fought 30 bravely for the
defense of their country, are
getting less pension money than
the negroes, who served in the
Northern Army. Many Of them
are too old and feeble to get
about and hustle, and make a
livelihood, like the younger gene
ration, and what is worse, many
of them need money for the
necessities of life, and have not
got it. The state of Louisiana
pays the old veterans and the
widows, of those who have gone
to reap their reward, in a better
world, very little pension money.
It is said that the one mill tax,
which the taxpayers nay to-
wards this fund is more than
sufficient to pay the old veterrs
what they, at present, receive.
1t is hoped that the Monroe re-
union will approve the resolution
adopted at the local q. G. ".
Camp, and that when the Iegis-
lature meets next year the pen
sion will be doubled at least.

We favor it because it will give
the rural South what it most
sorely needs-a greater proper
ton of white people, a. by stop
ping the crowding out of white
farmers by Negroes, and ~ by
providing aIl-white communities
such as white people from other
sections will be willing to move
into.
We favor it because ambitions
young white men will then be
willing to go into these all-White
communities as tenants, work
and save, and become good farm
ers and good citizens, whereas
they are unwilling to go in and
compete with Negro tenants.
We favor it because it will
provide certain sections in which
these ambitious white tenants
can buy land without having TO
compete with a Negro to get it
and beat the Negro making a
bargain for it.

Musical Company Coming
Next week.

The Cohen Musical Company will
make its first appearance in this
city on Monday night, at the Sandoz
Opera House. Ii will play in Opel
ousas for two nights, on Monday and
Tuesday nights. Reserved seats will
be sold at Dietlien's Jewlery store,
ranging from 10 to 20 cents.
Mr.. Sandoz has been endeavoring
TO treat the public to some fine
shows and as theseason progress
he expects to get in some very good
shows. Some times in February
the worldwide famous drama, EMIT
led The Lepord Spots" will play
at the 0pra House, and it is expect
ed that it will be the feature Of the
Season. Besides this splendid show
there are many others, almost
equally as good billed for this city.

cared types. It should be large
at the base and gradually taper
up to the tassel, spindly stalks
being always undesirable.
3rd. The plant should have
twelve or more well developed,
broad leaves and q good system
of strong brace roots and should
stand upright.
AS soon as possible after the
corn has been selected from the
field as outlined above, the ears
should be husked, laid on a floor
or table and enough of the best
ears selected to supply the seed
for the next years crop.
It is well in this work to first
choose for a type the ear which
seems to approach most closely
to the ideal which you have in
mind and use this ear as a guide.
In deciding what ear to select
for a type, care should be exer-
cised and many points consider
ed. Among these are the follow
ing: The ear should not be excess
sively larger its circumference
should be about three-fourths as
great as it's length; it should be
of the same size throughout its
length rather than tapering.
The rows of kernels should not
be in pairs and should be straight.
twisting neither to the right nor
left. The butt should be well
filled and should not have a large
number of faulty kernels. The
tip should also be well filled and
should be neither swollen nor
pointed; it should be relatively
free of short, small kernels of an
inferior quality.

The English system of taxa

family to support ought not tc
be taxed as heavily as the man
who has done nothing to build
up a home-a home, the basis OF

Is gratifying to see that the
American Congress in its new
income tax law has recognized
the same principle, and perhaps
our State Legislatures may do so
later.

A Fine Rain

The long-looked for and much
needed rain arrived Sunday eve-
ming, and gave the fields a re-
freshing that will prove of great
value to the crop. This was the
first rain the ground in this i'm
mediate vicinity had received for
about five weeks though some
local showers had fallen in other
parts of the county. The small
grain had commenced to suffer
from the long drouth, but the
fine rain of Sunday night has put
a different look upon the fields,
and crop prospects have been
wonderfully improved. Corn is
looking fine and showed no signs
at any time of suffering during
the warm dry spell

Madison is "Dry"
Angus Leader

Angus Leader:
In accorda ance with a decision lhand-
ed down by Judge J. w. Jones in the
circuit court today in the Madison
license case NJ adison will remain dry
for the next two years. At the recent
election on the liquor question at
Madison there were S26 votes cast
"For license received 400 votes,
"xgainst license" received 400 votes,
aud l! votes were rejected as de-
fective or improperly marked. Those
in favor of saloons set up the claim
that under the law passed by the last
legislature that all that was neces.
sary to carry the proposition was to
have more votes for than against the
proposition.
Somo time ago the ballots we're re-
counted and the above figures found
to represent the true situation, and
arguments on the claim of the "wets'
that the proposition had carried were
made before Judge Jones in this city
yesterday. Prior to the law passed
by the last legislature the courts had
held that it was necessary for the
'wets" to receive majority OF the
votes cast at the election regardless
of whether on the license question or
for q candidate. Joe Kirby as at
tOrney for the "wets" cOntended that
this law made it simply necessary to
get more votes for than against to
carry license. Judge Jones holds
that the law passed last winter simply
wiped out that part of the old law
which required that majority of al
votes cast must be secured and thai
under the new law the vets to secure
license must show clean majority o.
all votes cast on the license question,
including those thrown out as illegal

the decision was handed down this af

that the case will be carried to th'
