ALFALFA ENRICHES THE LAND
Besides Producing More Abundant
Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food
to the Soil for the Use of
Other Crops.

Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots
of the alfalfa plant penetrate II to
35 feet into the soil-far beyond the
reach Of corn, wheat, oats and
other shallow roofing plants. In
this way potash, phosphorus and 9TH
er elements of plant food are drawn
up from below through the roots OF
the alfalfa plant and stored in the
upper soil for the use Of other crops.

Secretary ]. J. Refine. of the
LaPlace Truck Farmers Associa-
ton, lately organized, has issued
a call for a public meeting to take
place at the Woodmen Hall. at
LaPIace, tomorrow, Sunday. the

The public throughout st. John
and especially all farmers and
planters are urged to be present.
Lectures will be delivered by Mr..
H. D. Wilson, of Roseland, La,
who is State Farm Inspector OF
the Department of Agriculture

freight agent of the Illinois Cen
traI and Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley Rail Roads.
We have much to learn in the
preparation Of the soil and in its
fertilization for the different
crops to be grown. The selection
of seeds and the thorough cuItiya-
ton of truck will be discussed
by men thoroughly familiar with
their various phases. The many
difficulties which confront the
average small farmer will be
analysed and remedies suggested.
The Meschacebe thinks that no
one should miss being present as
such meetings are alwaps con-
ducive of beneficial results to
those who attend The mingling
of friends and interchange OF
ideas alone should assure a large
attendance tomorrow evening at
the progressive and Wide-awake

Terrebonns Planters
Prepare flr Free Suaar.

To make easier the readjust-
ment to new agricultural and in
dustrial conditions which the free
listing Of sugar will require, the
planters of Terrebonne parish
have applied to the United States
Department of Agriculture for
assistance in the establishment Of
a series of demonstration farms,
and are taking up seriously the
subject of diversified farming.
Leading planters of that parish
have offered so acre tracts for
demonstration purposes. The
police Jury has engaged the
services of a farm expert to in
struct the sugar planters in the
cultivation of other crops.

Producers Of Food
Do Not Get Profit.
Tribute Paid MiddIeman is the
Cause Of High Prices.

What was said to be the great
est crop in history was harvested
last fall. But in spite of all this
food the people of the country,
many of them, aren't getting
enough to eat, and the situation
is grave enough that an author
has recently written a!book about
Starving America. = Yet with
such abundance of production,
WHY should prices be high and
higher still? And if they are high,
why isn't there a stampede back
to the land to get rich at farming
by producing the food that sells
at such high prices?
There are two reasons: One is
the tariff that gives beef packers
and others special opportunities.
The other is the commission men
who receive the foodstuffs from
the farmers to sell to the store
keepers. Recently a farmer con-
signed a crate of eggs which ne
had marked so that he could iden-
tify it. He followed the eggs to
New York city, and with his own
identify unknown, purchased
them from. his commission agent
at 28c a dozen. Back ct the farm
where he later received the bill
of sale. the commission agent re-
ported selling the eggs at Is 1-2e
| a dozen, out of which he had OF
course deducted his 5 per cent
commission. Having actually sold
them at 28c with the 5 per cent
commission deducted, he had
stolen from the farmer 2l-2c .
dozen or 75c on the crate.
And that's why farming doesn'
pay. People aren' t rushing from
the cities to get into the profitable
| business of food production, for
| the simple reason that the profit
doesn' t reach back ID the farm.
And that is why there IS no re
lief fer the consumer AZ inNesti.

Judge Chenet Wins
Suit for LutCher.
Every Parish Will Profit by Courts
Decision.

The Standard Oil Company, the
richest corporation in the United
States, must pay a license of 500
a year for each two-horses wagon
used in peddling coal oil in the
town of Lutcher. in st. James
parish, should it desire to con-
tinue in the business there.
This decision was rendered
following the trial of the suit
brought by the City Council
against the Standard Oil Com
pany.
The trial was had before Dis
trict Judge G. T. Northan1, who
decided the case, and who granted
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
# the higher court affirms this
decision, the effect will be far
reaching because the oil corpora
ton will then be subject to the
same tax in every parish where a
delivery wagon is operated.
Judge Chenet's S arguments were
opposed by those of Attorneys
Hunter C. Leake and Johnson
Armstrong. Of New Orleans.
The Meschacebe congratulates
Judge Chenet upon his merited
success in his fight for right
against great odds and also fell
citates Judge Northam for his
unbiased attitude in the trial Of

Denial of Justice.

The Massachusetts senate has de
industrial accident to call a physician
of his own cioice. AS the law now
stands, it is defective. The victim must
wait the pleasure of the doctor selected
by the accident insurance companies.
Those who supported the bill cited
cases where the present law has work
ed bitter injustice. The state has no
right to endorse cruel and barbarous
treatment of man who is suffering in
tense agony, as the result of painful
injuries The nearest available physi-
clan should be called as a matter Of
course, and the law should not pre-
vent it.
Should the Fay State law making
body adhere to such action II is quite
probable that some OF the Solons will
hear from home, and that the issue
will become political. Such fool as
sumption of all-sufficiencc is usually
found in the type of men who term
laws for restraint of tho liquor traffic
as "sumptuary" 1t is the brazcn dis
honesty. OF men Il listed by the people,
under mask of hollow pretense or q
trifiing technically, that is driving tile
masses to believe that al ofiiciaidom is
dishonest the moment elected.
