you may already know, by the
forming of canning clubs. To
stimulate the girls, the State has
offered two hundred and fifGy
dollars (25O.O0) in prizes to be
given away at the State Fair.
The local communities where the
clubs are organized have also of
fered prizes. / feel that these
prizes ought to be in a large
measure something that would
help the girls educ ationally.
In January we have a short
course here at the Univel sity and
| am planning to have the twenty
five girls, who have made the
greatest success in their work,
attend this course | am asking
the Civic Leagues in the different
towns of the State to send a girl
to Baton Rouge at that time. The
Civic League will only have to
pay her travelling expenses and
her living expenses while in Baton
Rouge. The University gives her
the course.
Let me know if your Civic
League will pledge itself to send
girl, if she is one of the lucky
twenty-five.
Hoping to hear from you fav-
orably, l am,

We are IN receipt of the pro-
gram of the 57th Commencement
exercises of Soule's College OF
New Orleans which ranks not on
" as the oldest and leading CON-
mercial college in Louisiana but
In the South.
There were 1913 graduates, IS in
the Commercial so IN the Short
hand and 13 in the Acadamie de-
partment who received diplomas
1850 students were enrolled the
past session when the best and
highest grade work in the history
of this enterprising, progressive
and practical school was done.
Students in the Business school
have practical training as they
sell actual goods, balance actual
cash. use cash registers, adding
machines, loose leaf and card led
ger, tripiicate sale sheets and
binders and then when they grad
uate they are located IN profitable
position, Natchitoches has always
been represented at Soule's and
owing to the success no doubt that
college will continue to have all
those who want a practical bust
ness education.

The subject of proper asses
ments is live one in nearly every
city and parish in Louisiana, judg-
ing from the amount of discussion
it is receiving in the newspapers
and in official circles, says the
American Press. The taxpayers
are awakening to the solemn truth
that they must pay the same
amount of bills for running the
government, no matter whether
the assessed valuation is high or
low Keeping down the valuation
does not have the effect of keeping
down the expense, it merely re-
gulates the apportionment of the
expense among the tax payers.

Dear kditor:
We are interested to know how
MANY canning outfits have been
sold in Louisiana this year and
know no better way to ascertain
this than by your help.
May | ask you to send me this
information for your territory.
l feel that this canning work is
doing a great deal to improve the
food supply of Louisiana and to
save money for our people.
| am sending you the enclosed
letter which [ sent out to your
Civic League. May ask you to
publish this letter and make an
appeal to the president of the
Civic League or any Civic Organi-
zation to answer it. l have re-
ceived several very encouraging
letters in regard to this prize
contest, but some Civic Leagues
have failed to respond.
The State in connection with
the United States Department of
Agriculture is making an effort to

Suggestions for Control of the
Boil Weeyil.

The boil weevil is beginning to
appear on young cotton and in
some sections they are coming out
in large numbers. There is no
cause for alarm at the appearance
OF the weeviI at this time. Any
farmer can succeed in growing a
good crop of cotton in 1913 under
worst weeyil infestation by OBJ
serving the following rules:
/. Go over the fields once or
twice each week and catch every
old, overwintered boil weevil pos
sible before the cotton begins to
set squares.
2. AS soon as the cotton begins
to set squares, 90 over the cotton
once or twice each week and care
fully pick and burn all squares
that have been punctured by the
boil weevil. Our former instruc-
tons were to attach pole to the
handles of the cultiyator so as to
knock the bush and hasten the
falling of the squares. Later ex-
perlence in Louisiana has con-
WINGED us that it is better to go
over the cotton twice each week
with a short stick bend the cotton
stalks about and pick the squares
from the stalk that have been
punctured bv the weevil. A care
full hand will soon become very ex-
pert in detecting squares that have
been I'unctured. Tho most sue
cessful cotton growers in Louisi-
ana, working in cooperation with
the Farm Demonstration Work,
have found that it pays to 60 over
the cotton twice each week and
pick the squares both from the
stalk and from the ground. When
this work is done carefully and
kept up until the middle of Au-
gust, the boil weevil will be prac-
ticallv exterminated and a good
crop of cotton can be made.
3. Keep up a rapid. shallow
cultivation of the crop until the
bolls begin to open.
If the above Instructions are
closely followed, any farmer in
weevil territory can make a crop
of cotton. Many farmers fail to
make cotton with the weevil be-
cause they have no confidence in
their ability to succeed and go
about their work in half-hearted
manner.
Many farmers fail to make
cotton because they refuse to care.
fully and regularity pick up and
burn the punctured squares.
May we not count on your CO.
operation in making determined:
thorough and effective fight
against the weevil7

The Natchitoches enterprise., 1913-07-10

When the gallant st. Denis and
his followers came to the land of
the chinquipin eaters and looked
long and patiently for the best
site wherein to settle their camp,
meaning to make the location per :
manent, they selected spot where
the Indian tribe had their wig
vans, as they knew these children
of nature had chosen the most
desirable place, instinct and habit
enabling them to do so
And it was there that Natchitoches
named after this Indian tribe was
founded, right in the midst of a
virgin forest of pine, which
through all these many generations
still makes our land noted.
The woodman's ak has sounded
again and again through these
forests and while many a young
pine has since sprung up and
reared It's stately head in hundreds
of feet of air, in time it met the
same fate of the giant Of proceed
ing years, and all the stumps
have been either the abiding place
of certain denizens of the forests
which have furnished delectable
feastS, or harbored more or less
dangerous insects or reptiles.
And now after all this time, it
has come to pass, that man has
acquired knowledge whereby he
can put to use these old stumps
and acquire wealth
This knowledge has passed from
one to the other and companies
have been formed and operated
very successfully In our neighbour
ing State of Mississippi.
The following concerning this
knowledge which we clipped from
The States will prove of interest
just at present:
Pine lands denuded were for
long time considered practically
worthless; but in recent years ex-
periments have shown that they
can be turned into richly produc-
tive farms.
One of the difficulties was the
removal of the stumps, involving
heavy labor and almost prohibi-
tive cost.
But that difficulty is now being
solved. 1t is interesting to learn
that a company with headquarters
at Laurel, Miss, mas demonstrated
that the disposing OF pine stump
age can be made more profitable
than the handling of the timber
itself.
The company was organized
only a year ago to extract products
from pine stumps. With a force
of only sixteen men, small plant
and limited capitalization it has
made a profit of S. a cord on the
it has handled during the
year, and the average acre of cut
over land in its territory yields
eight cords. 1t will thus be seen
that it is earning $40 an acre,
which is more than the mill men
have been able to make from the
virgin pine.
Louisiana has thousands of acres
of cut-over lands which sooner or
later will come into cultivation.
Farmers heretofore have had to
get rid of the stumpage by burn
ing or blasting. The expense,
however, is high.
The success of the Laurel con-
Germ would seem to suggest an
opportunity for enterprising in
vestors in Louisiana. Not only
would similar plants in this State
add greatly to our wealth il they
were able to earn an equal profit;
but they would enormously IN
crease the acreage available for
settlers, who, in the next few
years, ought to come to Louisiana
in a steadily increasing stream.
