Ascension Farmers interested In Co.
operative Union,

President E. P. Brady of the AL
| luV1al Land Purchase Company makes
the following observations In his lat
est monthly letter reporting the pro-
gress of affairs in the company's s
toWnsite Of st. Elmo:
Not only St. Elmo, but all OF AS
cension parish is taking much inter-
est in the Farmers Union for the
betterment of farmers conditions
and cooperation in the handling of
their purchasing and selling A
large delegation went to the state
meeting at Opelousas early in August.
st. Elmo was represented by II. Ar
thur Morgan, j. R. Beauvais, Miss
Hester Oubre, L.. Paul Landry, Ar
Inaand arsegaas assss IA sts not
ton to whom, the rest of Ascension
parish was well represented.
Mr. Morgan was elected a member
Of the executive committee and AN
alternative delegate to the national
convention, thus giving Ascension a
share of the honors.
'sThe convention was highly sue
tG0S1ul lIOu every Std1luppiIt, duu
number of reports We're read which
showed the progress the farmers of
Louisiana are making as a result of
cooperation and organization. ST.
Elmo was many times mentioned as
the place where cooperative ideas
were being put to use more than in
any other community. The size of
the st. Elmo delegation also made a
good impression. Much interest was
taken in the cooperative dairy barn
which is now nearly completed, and
more than one person at the conyen-
ton expressed wish to go over
and see this barn when it is put in
to operation.
'In passing | might mention that
the ST. Elmo local Of the Union late
ly built dance platform at ST. Elmo
and has been giving dances every
few weeks for the young people Of
St. Elmo and the neighborhood. Some
have come from as far as Luteher
and Gonzales to attend these dances,
and from the success the Union Is
having with these affairs, / venture
to say that St. Elmo, in short
while, will be one of the most popu-
lar places in Ascension parish with
the younger set"

: A Coming Corn State,

Under the above caption the editor
of Farmers Review, an influen
tlal agricultural journal of Chicago
Illinois, makes the following remarks
In the Aug. 8 issue of his pub
lication:
The opinion prevails quite gen
orally that the south is not a corI
ecIntry. It was not a few years
ago, but times are changing. Ex
perience has demonstrated thai
corn can be grown just as success
inlly and profitably in the south as
IN the north. The corn crop OF
louisiana alone will this year ap
proxlmate over 100000 bushels
Corn has become Louisianas lead
ing staple crop in point of acreage de
voted to 1t, quality and value. Dur
ing the last three years the increase
IN the corn yield Of this south ern
state has been over 40 per cent
cotton and cane no longer reign as
ohdlsputed sovereigns among the
cfops which are producing agricul
tufal wealth in this favored state.
louisiana farmers are studying corn
ana their boys are studying corn
some 1000 Of them under the direc-
aon Of competent and experienced
men furnished by the state and ma
aon IN cooperation. One hundred
=oushei per acre crops are not in
ifequent. Many farm lads have
aone considerably better than this,
sumo even reaching the 150-bushel
per acre mark. Louisiana corn fields
present revelation to northern
lafiners that must be seen to be
fully appreciated"
The Donaldsonville chief., 1914-08-29
A Word to the Farmers.

The conditions caused by the Euro.
pean war make it all the more sensi-
Bile and even imperative for the
farmers of this section to raise win
ter crops.
There are several important food
supply crops they can raise, and
there is no reason why they should
not cultivate plenty of forage for
their live stock.
The farmer with barns full of corn,
plenty of swine, a sugar cane patch,
a pea field and barnyard can turn
up his nose at the high cost of liV-
ing.
The farmers should heed the advice
of the agricultural demonstrators who
are urging them to develop winter
crops. And, no doubt, many of them
will
Our soil and climate are especially
adapted to winter crops, and it
should not be said that farmers are
lacking in thrift, energy and precau-
ton, the other prerequisites; neces-
sary for the making of double crops
every year.
The farmers should know, if they
do not already, that all the money in
farming for the next year or so will
be in foodstuffs and not in textiles.
Go little slow on your cotton for a
while and give more time to your
corn, wheat and vegetables and to
the calves and pigs.-Baton Rouge

The Food Probe.

The food probe has already borne
fruit. The very day the government
Instituted its Investigations the up
ward tendency of prices hesitated
The next day in several important
items an actual decrease in prices
was noted. These were due directly
to the probe, and no better proof
could be secured that in certain cases
the upward trend of prices was purely
arbitrary and not based on necessity.
In some cities the authorities are
getting very close to proving an
actual understanding between busi
ness concerns for boosting prices on
the excuse of the war scare. If such
combinations and agreements can
be established by the government
investigators the perpetrators should
be sent to prison without ceremony
If there is anything wholly diabolical
in human practice, it is that selfish
ness which is willing to play on the
need of the people for financial re,
ward.
With the whole world caught in
an awful war, under which the needs
of men will be great and hard tc
meet, all right sentiment dictates
that a humanitarian motive should
guide the actions of all people. The
men who, at such time will take
pecuniary advantage of the sufferlngs
of the people are unworthy of any
human consideration and should be
treated as the enemies of mankind -

Panama Canal in TraveIoque.

What promises to be the most in
teresting, instructive and compelling
lectures ever listened to by a Don
aldsonville audience will be those or
the Panama Canal to be delivered by
Civil Engineer A. w. Wyndham al
the Grand Theatre Thursday and Fri
day, Sept. II and 18, under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Wyndham Is perhaps better quail
ified than any other living man tc
describe this mighty engineering feat
since he assisted in the first survey
of the proposed canal in 1878, and
was subsequently employed by both
the French and United States com
missions during the construction OF
the great waterway. His lecture is
illustrated with $50 stereopticon
views In natural colors and com.
plete set Of sketches made expressly
by himself for his exclusive use.
which show the progress of the mon
umental work from its very inception
to the present time and reveal won
ders almost impossible to conceive.
Mr.. Wyndham's graphic description
of the famous ditch and the mighty
problems solved in it's construction
will cover every phase of the de-
velopment of the canal project, which
Is so gigantic the human mind fails
to realize its immensity unless ex-
planned by an expert familiar with
every detail OF, the subject. Former
President Taft has said of him:
Never before has this, the greatest
engineering problem in the worlds
history, been presented In such an
efficient manner" The chief of rec
ords of the Red Men Tribe at Wall
1ngford, Conn, under the auspices of
which organization Mr.. Wyndham
gave his lecture Feb. 12 last, writes
as follows: Brother Wyndham's
grand and mastery description of
the Panama Canal last night is today
the chief topic Of discussion among
all classes of our people. The audi
ence was held sover two hours as if
in the grip of a giant, and at the
finish gave the gifted speaker a gen
erous ovation, richly deserved. We
hope Brother Wyndham will visit us
again in the near future

AS the time for the great South

important of those points.
In the first place the animal should
be high from the ground, straight on
pastors. good ham and shoulders, and
flanks out even with hams. The
width of the ham across the back
should be as near in proportion to
shoulders as possible. A long hog is
preferred for the show ring. Ears
should drop over the eyes, with a
good slope, but not resting on the
eyes. The nose should be short and
In proportion to width The most
desirable SOW Or boar is one that
always looks downward when walk

head, his shoulders are out of proper

too much. A SOW or boar weighing
from $50 to 500 pounds should be
fed twice a day with a mixture in
equal proportions of shorts, rands,
tankage and ground corn amounting
to six pounds of feed, and fed as fol-
lows: Three pounds in the morning
and three in the evening, both made
into slop with a pinch of common
table salt thrown in the mixture.
Food should be mixed one hour be-
fore feeding so as to allow the swell
ing to take place in the bucket and
not in the stomach of the animal.
In addition to this, mixture of
five pounds of charcoal. five pounds
of wood ashes, one pound common
salt and one pound of flower of sui
phur, two and one-half pounds black
smith coal already burnt, should be
from rain and allow the animal to
eat at will.
Should the animal refuse to eat all
the food given him, it is better to
reduce the quantity and increase it
as his appetite improves.
In addition to the above, feeding
table slops and skinned milk is
very good, but do not recommend
feeding molasses for show purposes
as at times it is more of an irritant
than fat producer.
To improve the looks of your ami
NAL before showing him. trim his
tail and ears.
The color of a Duroc-Jersey, wheth-
er light or a dark cherry, cuts no
figure in the show ring. It is de-
sirable to have an animal with
smooth hair if possible.

SiIos In the Sugar Belt.


We visited the Elm Hall factory
and witnessed the filling of a large
silo, the first ever built on this plan
tation. The silo is Of wood with q
cement foundation, and contains
about 125 tons. It is being filled
| with Mexican June and other field
corn, which is chopped in small
pieces by machinery and blown
through a pipe through the top. Mr.
| Godchaux informed us that the silo
had been built On the place under
his direction, and is not costly. He
says this corn silage will not be used
except for cattle and for horses and
mules when not doing hard work.
Silos are being built throughout
the sugar district and quite large
number of planters will put cane tops
in silo this year. We saw large
si1o on the Lemann ComDany's Cres-
cent plantation, which was already
filled with chopped corn.
The eradication of the cattle tick,
which can be done by means of dip
ping vats, and the building Of silos
will make this part Of Louisiana the
logical country for the raising of cat
tie Speaking along these lines a
number of our citizens believe the
breed of cattle, both for meat and
milk, could be improved at little cost
if our farmers would get together
and purchase six bulls. and distrib-
ute them in the parish. If this plan
could be carried out, together with
the eradication of the cattle tick 1t
would not take very long for our Deo-
pie to realize the vast advantages of
raising the best stock.-Assumption

Falcon to be Given Try-Out by New
Orleans,

According to the sport writer OF
the Times-Picayune, Manager Johnnie
Dobbs of the New Orleans Southern
League team will ''look over a
brand new southpaw within the next
few days The youngster in question
is Albert Falcon, one of the main
stays of the st. James semlpro team
which, under the able management OF
F. H. Lyman, known as the Connie
Mack of the semipros,' has won
twenty-one out of tWenty-four games
this season.
st. James has played all the strong
est teams of New Orleans and south
Louisiana, and expects to play
game at Pelican Park on Labor Day
with their nearest competitors for
the semiprofessional championship of
the state.
Falcon, according to Manager Ly-
man, has won every game he has
pitched this season, and has fine
assortment of curves, which he mikes
I'D with a fast ball that is said to
be a wonder. In addition, he is
splendid hitter, and when not pitch
inc. is used in the outfield ON account
of this valuable trait. Manager
Dobbs will give him a thorough try
out, with the result that he may be

Inspects Crescent Hog Farm.

While on our return from Donald

Walter Godchaux, Theo. Boudreaux,
A e. Winkler and P. H. Gilbert,
through the courtesy of Mr.. Lemann,
manager of the Lemann Company's S
hog farm On Crescent plantation, we
were shown one of the largest if not
the largest hog farm in south Louisi-
ana. The hogs are all Duroc-Jerseys,
and represent an exceptionally fine
lot. About one-third of the 400
hogs were born ON Crescent and
there are eighteen Or more that will
farrow in the early fall. The farm
is divided into several departments
and number OF the herd are kept
in large pens Self feeding water
tanks are used, and concrete flooreG
pens are provided for farrowing. Th
hogs are cholera immuned.
Mr.. Jackson, who has been in the
hog industry in Kansas, has chargs
of the hogs. He knows all about hi.
herd and even talks the hog Ian
guage, as he proved by calling then
in for his visitors.
Mr.. Lemann is proud of his farm
and is deeply interested in it. H
showed little desire to sell any O

American Newsboy Halted by
the War

One of the glohe-trotters whom
war overlook in Europe is "Pittsie"
Ryan, an American neWsboy whose
face, if not his name, is known to
thousands of people, including not
few dignitaries. "Pittsie" started al
most two years ago to walk around
the world, taking his time doing 1T,
and when last heard from he was In
Paris selling American newspapers
to tourists. That was three weeks
ago. He wrote to ':neWsie'' in
New York that he expected to be
back in this country in August, but
he has not yet appeared on Broad
way and his whereabouts are un-
known. His friends, however, de-
clare that "Pittsie' Is well able to.
take care of himself, as he is re-
sourceful and self-reliant and makes
friends everywhere he goes.
Young Ryan, who has sold papers
in most of the large cities Of the
United States, began his long tour
in October, 1912, sailing from San
Francisco with only pedestrian 8
pack and a Remington rifle. From
the Hawaiian Islands he went to
Australia. After walking across Aus
tralia he took a boat to South Africa,
and set out on the long and difficult
tramp up the African continent from
Johannesburg to Cairo. He did Eu
! rope afoot and reached Paris several
weeks ago. Fond Of adventure, he
doubtless was not greatly troubled by
the outbreak of war, but his hosts ot
friends, nevertheless, are anxious
| for news of ''Pittsie" Ryan.
