The following item taken from the Nat
chez Democrat is read with much inter-
ests by auto enthusiasts in this section
Efforts of big crew of workers have
brought almost to completion the new
highway across ''Forty Acres" the tract
Of the Pittsfield plantation in Concordia
parish which has made necessary a wide
detour of travellers between Natchez and
Newellton, IN Tensas parish, and as re-
suit that town has been brought seven
miles nearer Natchez.
The work has been carried on under
the direction of the Police Jury of Con-
cordia parish and only q comparatively
short stretch Of the highway remains to
be finished.
There is stretch about fifty yards
long that is still in bad condition, but it
will be put in good shape soon, and then
automobiles and other vehicle users will
have an excellent road to Newellton from
vidalia and Ferridsy.
The road goes through Concordia and
Tensas parishes, and is an important
highway of the road system in the Nat
chez District.
Improvement of this road has drawn
attention to the need for highway signs
throughout the Natchez District, in view
OF the assurance given that many hun
dreds of auto tourists will traverse this
region in the fall and winter over the all
Southern coast-to-coast route.

foregone conclusion that the dance

The Gazette has been requested to
state that a charge will be made at

this ball, in addition to the cOmpli-
ment to the graduating class, and as
farewell to the faculties of the sew
eral schools of the parish who will
soon be leaving for their homes, is
to assist in paying for the addition

YoUNe coRN AND COTTON SHOULD
Be NARROWED.

Washington, d. c., May 1.-THE
beneficial effect of we'll prepared seed
bed and the use of good seed may be
wholly or partially offset by improper OF
insufficient cultivation, is the advice oil
crop specialists of the Department of Ag-
riculture.
Proper cultivation is an important fac
tor in crop production. Cultivation should
begin Immediately after planting by run
ming once or twice across the rows with
a weeder or section harrow. After the
plants come up at least two additional
civilizations should be given with either
the weeder or harrow in the case OF
either corn or cotton before the regu-
lar cultivators are used. Run diagonally
across the rows with either of these inn
Elements, using the section harrow with
the teeth slanted backward with an angle
of As degrees and repeat weekater at
right angles with the first cultivation.
The use OF the weeder or section har-
row IL strongly advised for the early cul-
tivation of corn, cotton and many other
crops. 1t is best to use the weeder on
very loose or sandy soils while the Sec
ton harrow is preferable on clay or buck
shot soils. This early cultivation with
the weeder or harrow destroys all young
grass and weeds and leaves the soil in
fine condition and the cotton ready for
chopping or thinning. The use of the
section harrow for the early cultivation
of corn and cotton in the South is com.
paratively recent but is rapidly becoming
general. One of the great advantages in
its use, in addition to the excellent work
done, is the extra amount OF land that
can be cultivated in a given time.

CATTLE DIPPING.

Last month nearly a thousand
head of cattle for breeding purposes
were brought from Florida to Nat
chez, Mississippi. and as they ar
rived, promptly immersed in arsen-
ical solution for the destruction Of
the Texas fever tick. Owing to the
poor condition of much of the stock
and injuries received during transit,
upwards Of a hundred died soon af-
ter arrival. and in some quarters the
numerous deaths were blamed to
the dipping.
Subsequent investigation by the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board into
the causes of the fatalities showed
that the solution was of the proper
strength; hence if any deaths were
contributed to by arsenical poison.
ing 1t was probably due te the stock
being crowded in restricted pasture
right after dipping, which may have
led to their eating of grass upon
which the poison dripped from their
wet bodies. All danger would have
been avoided, of course, had the
cattle, after immersion, been forced
to stand several hours on CRASHES
plot or on flooring. Another danger
that must be borne in mind by all
resorting to the dipping procedure,
in the desired cleaning out of the
tick, is that there is a possibility Of
cattle drinking before being put
through the dipping vat.
1t is regretted that any reflections
should be cast upon the dipping OF
cattle for the elimination of the tick
% source of danger, but the invest
igation in the Natchez case bears
out the fact that no danger need be
apprehended when ordinary pre-
cautions are taken. In all instances.
% the report of the Live Stock San
itary Board tells. where care and
judgment are used in handling cat
tie, no INJURIOUS effects have ever
resulted from dipping in arsenical
solution OF the proper strength.
This fact is attested by many thou
sands OF stock owners in the South
who have repeatedly dipped their
cattle with most beneficial results,
included in which is the destruction
OF the annoying worms that infest
the backs of the animals. Modern

OAe Of the strongest measures in.
troduced during the present session
OF the Legislature is by Representa-
tive Odom, Of Union. Mr.. Odom's
bill calls for an amendment to the
Constitution giving parishes, that
30 desire, the right to increase their
revenue for public roads. The
amendment allows the different par
ishes to raise their per capita road
tax from one dollar as is now fixed
BY the Constitution, to three dollars.
The Police Juries are empowered to
fix the tax at any amount from one
dollar to three, just as their wants
and necessities demand. One dollar
will be made the minimum, it being
optional with each parish to fix the
amount as it desires up to that
amount. Such a measure should
prove exceedingly popular and no
doubt will pass.

The Times Picayune in a recent

The Times Picayune in a recent
issue says:
Representative Murdoch of Tensas
will introduce bill appropriating $25 900
for the purpose of supplying hog cholera
serum to the farmers of the State. The
Legislature at the last session appropri-
ated 5000 for that purpose, and the
fund saved $1,000 worth of hogs, &C.
cording to information gathered by the
Department Of Agriculture.
"The Federal census" Mr.. Murdoch
said, "shows that Louisiana has /, 4OO, 900
hogs, worth, in round figures, about $1O,-
1900. The State should help the farm
ers to protect their hogs from the ravages
OF cholera, and the $25, 900 appropriation
will be good investment.
Mississippi and other Southern States
have made liberal appropriations for sup
plying the serum, and Mr.. Murdoch be-
lieves Louisiana should follow the same
course and encourage the hog raising in
dustry."
