by Messrs. R. R. Cheshire, member of
the board of trustees, G. T. Mays and
J. D. Rodgers, jr. These were followed
by much appreciated talk by Superin-
tendent Fortson, who was especially in
vited to be present on this occasion.
An unusually large number of patrons
were present, and every one is very en-
thusiastic over the bright prospects for
a successful school term. With such a
brilliant opening, and with the cooper
alton of teachers and patrons, this is
hoped to be the best session in the life of
the school.
Eight transportation wagons convey
the pupils to and from school, and the
ninth is expected to be added soon.
The faculty consists of Prof. r. B.
Fargerson, principal; Miss Tillotson,

Bossier After Banner Exhibit.

From the Shreveport Journal
M. S. Bolinger, President, and H. H.
Montgomery, Secretary, of the Bossier
Parish Fair, at Plain Dealing, October
9th to 30th, have secured reservation in
the agricultural building at the State
Fair grounds for the Bossier exhibit
this fall. The usual high standard and
excellence of the Bossier display in pre-
vious years will be maintained, if not
surpassed in quality and arrangement,
it is stated. Bossier has ranked well
among the best in the character of its
exhibits for the last few years and the
Plain Dealing Fair officials expect to be
close contenders for the banner this
season.
Other parish fairs which heretofore
have not been represented at the State
Fair, but which have filed their entry
and have been allotted space the last few
days for their initial exhibit, are Cald-
well, ST.. Tammany and Washington.
Other parishes which have not yet Sc
cured their space but will do so in the
next few days, are Claiborne, Lafayette
and Webster. This will make total OF
seventeen parishes alrerdy listed, with
others expected, which insures an extra
ordinary exhibit in agricultural pro-
ducts.
While Caddo Parish cannot compete
for the regular premiums offered by the
fair management, Caddo will be promi-
nent in the quality of it's display.

To Kill Lice ON Turnip Greens.

As several inquiries have come to this
Office during the past two weeks as to
how to rid turnip greens OF lice, the fol-
lowing, appearing in print in the Banner
about year ago, is again given:
A Colfax reader of the Southern Ru-
ralist, published at Atlanta, Ga, in
writing to that paper and asking how to
kill lice on turnip greens has received in
print the following reply, which should
also interest the Banners readers at
this time:
"You can kill the lice on your turnips
by spraying them with solution made
by boiling tobacco stems to the consist
ency OF black coffee or by using kero-
sene emulsion.
IA lady was in the Office the other
day and made the statement that these
lice could be killed by making tea OF
china berry leaves or berries and spray
ing the plants with the tea. We would
suggest that you try this out, if you can
get any of these berries or leaves, and
let us know the result"

Mr.. ]. H. Adger, and old friend and

department we are now making an effort
to inaugurate and in voicing that senti-
ment writes us in part as follows:
Dear Local Editor: In reading over

l noticed your article, "Letters from
Former Residents" and am writing you
to advise that | think this fine idea,

Funds Short for Good Roads.

Among the business visitors in Ben
ton to-day were Messrs. T. J. Fullilove,
w. l. Ratcliff and B. J. Haygood, all
river farmers residing south.
We made inquiry of these gentlemen
about the rumor current here to the eff
feet that the graveling on the three
hard surface roads now under way Of
construction in Road District No.
would not be finished for the entire
length of the roads because of lack of
funds. They had previously heard the
matter discussed, and Mr.. Haygood
added that there was good grounds for
the statement, as he had that informa-
ton from Mr.. J. c. Logan, President of
the Police Jury. That the graveling
on the roads cannot go forward unin-
terrupted is matter of regret.
The three gentlemen spoke of the
benefits already resulting from the COM
pleted portion of the roads. Mr.. Rat
cliff, whose home and plantation are
| located about three miles east of Bossier
City, said it would now be no trouble
| for his children to reach the school in
that place after the fall and winter rains
had fallen. Formerly when the roads
were bad they had to ride down the
center of the L. and A. rightofway
Also, it was almost impossible at certain
seasons of the year for him to reach
Bossier City or Shreveport even with a
wagon drawn by four mules. Further
illustrating the benefits of the roads, hi
stated that one day recently, nearly al
of his mules being in his pasture, he
hauled out two bales of seed cotton with
taUo mules, one wagon trailing behine
the other. Any man who has had ex.
perience knows that wagon tied On a:
trailer pulls heavy, and we should thinl
it takes two pretty good mules to pull
such load over any type OF road bu
the best.
The benefits of the roads will be mani
fold, and the writer only wishes our PEG
pie could have all three of them, ant
many more, for that matter, completed
at once and of the best possible con
Estruction.

Want Cotton Acreage Reduced.


The Banners Plain Dealing corres-
pondent has sent in the circular letter
shown below, addressed by the Atlanta
Georgia. Chamber of Commerce, and
to which he appends this paragraph:
The following letter has been received
by Mr.. Fl. H. Montgomery, President of
the local bank, and is heartilh Endorsed
by him and by all merchants of our town
who have been approached on the sub
ject, and the card sent has been signed
and returned:
Mr.. H. H. Montgomery, President,
Plain Dealing, La.
Dear Sir: Our president and direct
ors recently sent you the following
letter, to which we have already had
favorable replies from about two thou
sand bank presidents. May we not have
yours?
We earnestly ask your attention to the
following plan to relieve the situation
caused by the European war.
1t is plan by which the 1915 cotton
crop can be reduced one-half and the
present surplus wiped out.
AS soon as it becomes known that
next years crop will be cut in half, this
years crop will sell for far better price
and the whole situation will be relieved.
This can be assured if the bankers and
merchants of the South will act as one
man, pledging themselves to give finan-
cial aid for the making of the 1915 crop
only to those who will cut down their
cotton acreage one half and increase
food crops in proportion.
Representative farmers approve this
plan and assure us that it will not only
be Godsend to them now, but will give
an impetus to divisified agriculture
which will put the farmers of the South
on the high road to prosperity.
Cotton is Off one third and food crops
are third higher. Cotton has no mar
ket while food crops sell readily. It is
easy to see where your security lies.
We are sending this to every bank in
the Cotton States. Ii an overwhelming
proportion of them say they will adopt
this policy, we will publish that fact to
the world and it will reassure the market
in every center where cotton is sold.
Let US do this now and get better
market before cotton notes begin to
fall due.
If every banker will act promptly on
this line it will save the South hundred
millions in the price of cotton this year
Act now! sign the card and mail it BY
the first train. Very truly yours,
w. G. COOPER, Secretary.
| P. S.-Please urge your supply mer-
chants to adopt the same policy.

Too Good Not to Publish.

We are not averse to seeing little

preciated and is too good not to appear
in print:
