Club

In cooperation with the Lou.
isiana Bankers Association, the
Hastings Seed Co., and others in.
terested in club work, arrange
ments have been made to furnish
forty (40) scholarships at the
winter short course of the Lou
isiana State University to prize
winning club boys and girls from
the Corn, Pig and Tomato Clubs.
This course will be Of two weeks
duration and will be held in jan
uary, 1915. Detailed information
may be obtained by applying to
the Agricultural Extension De
partment.
Heretofore, the prize winning
member from each of the three
clubs was given q free trip 10

that greater benefit will result
by giving courses at the Universe

each Of the clubs, who make the
best records. These courses will
consist Of special lectures and in
structiol il subjects IN which
the club members are interested.

NOT WISE TO TAKE CALOMEL

Dodson's Liver Tone is just as
sure in results and always safe,
pleasant in taste and has no bad
after-effects. As a remedy for a
torpid liver calomel has more
than met its match in Dodson's
Liver Tone. This medicine does
not roughly force the liver on to
perform its work. 1t acts gently
but surely.
Calomel depends for its power
upon exciting the liver to do
more work, and often the liver
is too weak to stand such treat
ment. and after taking calomel
you are as a result sometimes
worse off than before.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot
cause any Of the dangerous eff
fects that often follow the use Of
colonel. It is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to the taste, and is

deficiency occasioned, in part
perhaps, by your failure to make
an exhibit or to attend. The an
sWer in brief as to why you
should have a fair is, for the
public good-for giving individ-
uals new ideals and for stimulat-
ing community pride.
But these fairs are social or
CARNATIONS as well, and so help
full in this respect that it is ques-
tionable whether in any other
way they serve so large a pur-
pose. Bringing together the
representatives of every town
ship at some central place like
the county seat leads the people
to know one another, a knoWl-
edge as powerful with the COM
munity as the know myself
with the individual. They are
likewise educational. The aver
age fair, county or state, has
something for the visitor who
goes with his eyes open and mind
alert.
Moreover, our fairs are putt
ting larger stress on these edu-
cational features each year. The
midway is ~lessening, the gam
bling devices and those who play
there are on the decrease, and
the drinl ing places have gone or
are going. This new order of
things means much for the larger
fairs, but more for the smaller
ones, which have suffered from
the false impression that special
attractions beyond their finan-
cial reach were necessary to
their success. Numerous most
successful county fairs were held
last year with their agricultural,
educational, and livestock ex-
hibits, for their sole drawing
cards.
II your county isn't in line
with the progressive counties
with fairs, why not you and your
neighbor get busy at once? By
a little determined effort on the
part of all classes, you may have
a fair yet-maya at least make a
good start in 1914, and do better
next year.-The Progressive

DOES IT COST YOU TO
CULTIVATE YOUR COTTON?

WHAT DOES IT COST YOU TO
CULTIVATE YOUR COTTON?
The letters on cotton cultiya-
ton in our issue of May %, were
SO timely, SO practical, and so full
of labor-saving ideas that we
cannot refrain from again calling
attention to this subject.
Cotton is the great money crop
of the south, and will probably
continue to be for many genera
tons. It is a crop almost ideally
adapted to our climate, produces
fairly well under adversities that
would mean failure with crops
less hardy and recuperative. and
when the lint only is removed
from the land, it is one Of the
least exhaustive crops known.
This combination of qualities
makes of cotton a really wonder
full crop and that we have grown
1T too extensively and to our own
hurt is is not its fault, but rather
that of ourselves and our system
of farming. The truth is that
not another crop in the world
would have stood the abuse and
neglect the cotton crop has had
to endure.
But even with cotton there isa
limit somewhere, and that limit
has already been reached on hum
dreds of tho usands of southern
farms. Census figures show
that the average per acre yield.
of cotton over the entire south is
less than 200 pounds of lint. It
takes no genius to see, at the
present prices for labor, fertiliz-
ers, land rent, and like items,
that there cannot be a living
wage in raising cotton where only
the average yield is obtained.
Right here is one Of the souths
most serious and pressing prob
lens, for, it goes without saying,
we can never have the highest
standards Of rural living and citi-
zenship while SO per cent Of our
are actually receiving
only a dollar a day or less for
their labor.
Methods Of cultivation will by
no means entirely solve this
problem, for in producing profit
able crops we place rich land
above all others as the factor of
Overwhelming Importance.
cultivation, particular
ly at this season, is the thought
that should be uppermost in our
minds. Particularly it is impor-
tant that as much expensive
hard labor as nasSihla he disnnns.

FAKE PREPARATION
FOR BOIL WEEvILS
Farmers Should Not Expert
ment With Useless
Preparations.
BY D. S. TUCKER OF L. S. U.

Every once in a while, a claim
gains currency through news,
papers and even banking mercan.
tile channels Of publicity declar,
ing that a special preparation has
been found which after being
applied upon cotton plants vii
protect or save the crop from
ravages of the boil weevil.
Despite all that has been said OF
proven by State and Government
investigators to show the fallacy
of such methods of treatment
many planters waste their time
and money trying out some kind
of compound. Letters can be
produced by the dozen which
were written by these growers
stating that they failed to obtain
the least benefit from use of the
substances.
That firms or members of a
business concern should be de-
ceived into advocating or practi-
cally indorsing the assertions of
irresponsible experimeters or
parties in the face of expert tes-
timony is nothing less than cul-
pable indiscretion. If the advise
Of State and Government special
lists is to be disregarded, these
officers must then take steps to
expose the fakes and frauds
whenever they come to notice.
An idea which has been adj
vanced to the effect that oil
soaked gunny sacks or clothes
when dragged over cotton plants
during cultivation of fields is
sufficient to leave an odor, es-
peeially if strong smelling sub
stances like tar and moth balls
have been combined with the oil
and thus be effective enough to
repel the weevil from one ploW-
M -
ing to the next can have no merit
in fact. Examination will reveal
as many weevils on cotton treat
ed from the day following the
application as before it, while
conditions are otherwise the
same.
The use of compounds for the
purpose Of producing a lasting
repellent scent on plants is futile.
The impossibility of obtaining by
such measures effective immunity
of the live growth to infestation
by pests is too evident. What.
ever odor is given off by the
preparation must be speedily dis
IN the air and can have no
chance to act materially upon in
All substances which
repellent scents or even
killing fumes active UPON insects
are only seryieeable when used
n enclosed spaces. None can
be safely or feasibly applied on
exposed plant growth to driveI
md keep away pests. Owing to
he bracts which nature provides
or covering the cotton forms, no
PRACTICAL way whatever ofreach-
ng OF disloging the Weeyils hid
ag under the enclosures can be
!evised.

!, D Hunter has made some con- ;
incing statements of which the

HOW Is YOUR COUNTY FAIR?
Once again we urge the i'm
