TELLS SOME ONION STORY.
One Grower Gets 800 Returns From
One Acre in Pleasant
Valley.

Ames, Nov 9.-When 1t comes to
onion stories for the season just
closing, Iowa's famous Pleasant VAL
ley district near Davenport Is prob
ably entitled to the palm, according
to Prof. A. T. Erwin, truck crop ex-
pert of the Agricultural Experiment
station at Iowa State college.
Reports at hand" says Mr.. Err
win, indicate that the onion fields
of this district yielded from 400 to
500 bushels an acre, and that the
growers got from $1.00 to $1.75 per
bushel for their crops. One grower
who had IA acres Of onions got a
gross return of 500 an acre for his

These Pleasant Valley onion grow
ers play the game for all there is in
it, and they know all there is in it.
Last spring they got their crop In
early, as usual; they got 1t out OF
the way of the drouth, which hit
southeastern onion growers hard,
and they marketed their crops early,
when prices were good, getting as
much as $1.75 a bushel, instead o.

For Flower Lovers.

Nothing adds more to the
beauty of the home than flowers
within and without. And this
month especially we cherish and
enjoy any "green things growing"
whether a tiny graceful vine, a
spreading fern or crooks ofproud
chrysanthemums in full feathery
bloom,
If you have the right sort Of
plants in your rooms, an average
temperature, and if the air is not
too dry you doubtless have what
is called luck with your flowers
But too often, late in the fall 8
few flowers are potted and
brought into the house and OK
pected TO make a brilliant show
ing Of blossoms. This is impos-
sible; alter a flower has worked
all summer you must let it ros
through the winter.

Building Good Roads Pro-
crossing With Satisfactory
Construction.

Quite a number of people visit
ed the scene of the new road
building on the Columbia road
about twelve miles from Coving-
ton, and some Of the autos have
even travelled over the new road,
which is not yet surfaced but
which gives an idea of the pleas
ure that will be afforded to travel
ers when it is. The work is now
being pushed towards Covlngton
and will afterwards be taken up
at the starting point and finished
to Bush. For four miles above
the German settlement to Quave's
place where the start was made,
the road runs in a perfectly
straight line, and gives an excel
lent understanding Of the merits
of the shortest distance between
two points when it is compared
With the windings of the old road,
probably half a mile to the left
side of it. Also a good idea of
the immense Labor required to
build good roads is obtained by a
view of the work and of the same
on Money Hill, where the nipple
ments and about forty mules are
taken care of, The animals are
gentle and fine workers and re-
ceive as much care as if stable d
for exhibition.
! Mr.. T. L. Grubbs and Mr.. H
A. Schultz have charge of the
gangs at work and it is being
we'll done. The road is thirty
feet wide with a ten Inch crown
and the indications are that the
soil is of a kind that will make
an excellent road, the mixture OF
sand and clay being in fine pro
portion.
| Mr.. E. j. Domergue, Presiden
of the Good Roads Committee, il
devoting great deal OF time tt
the construction Of the roads
He was a delegate to the recen
r good roads convention at Atlanta
Ca, where he gained consiilera
t bic valuable information, and 1t
has done this at his own expense
the trip to Atlanta costing hin
l over 500 out Of his own pocket
l But he says he will be amply re
paid if we succeed in building
good roads throughout the par
= ish, and there is no doubt tina
this will be accomplished. st

Many, many, letters have been
received recently oomplaing that
flowers are disappointing their
owners. One reader asks what
to do with a rubber plant whose
leaves are growing black and
yellow, and falling off? 1t has
been kept too moist. Do not
water during the winter and
keep the plant in a COOL dry
place. AS it is ornamental you
will not want to put it in the
basement, but you can put it in a
cool hall or on a stair landing.
The cuttings Of rubber plants
are started in soft water just as
oleanders are but not at this
season.
Another complains that her
palms have a scale on them.
They have been kept too hot and
dry. The infested parts must
be brushed and washed with
warm suds OF tar or whale oil soap
or quassio chips tea. This clean
ing must be done several tunes.
|Moisten the soil with a mixture
of milk and water and after the
scale is removed and there are
signs of new growth pour one
or two tablespoons Of caster oil
around the roots of the plants.
This makes a very glossy leaf on
both palm and rubber plant.
Little gnats among fern leaves
annoy another flower lover. In
this case the sol! is too moist
but it is too.l late to help the plant
by drying it. Do not water fo1
a few days, then fill the saucer Of

An Interesting Letter.


I read with interest almost
every line Of the Era-Leader for
it's just like seing some one from
home.
I have been watching with in
terest the agricultural develop
ment of the parish, and especially
the interest that is being taken in
dairying. l think this is the most
profitable kind of farming where
good market facilities can be had.
The farmers along the line of the
New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad have very favorable con-
ditions for shipping milk as part
of the farm operations, and to
the farmer who will grow feed
and furnish pasture for his COWS
will surely come moro profit from
his labor.
Consider some of the advant-
ages for dairyiug. Pay day
comes often. 1t is a cash bust.
ness. Any loss or gain can be
checked up each week, and it is
easier for a man to figure his ex.
penses and income on a dairy
herd than in growing crops
where the growing season is long.
Another advantage to the farmer
is that his children who are at
tending school can be Of great
help at home, and the work is of
such nature and variety that
every member Of the family can
do part of it. No expensive
teams or equipments needed in
order to start into the business,
and if a man has a few good COWS
he can begin without any capital
whatever. OF course he should
own good sire and begin to i'm
prove the herd at once, but hi
Jean begin with the COWS he ha:
and make them pay for the sire.
One of the best arguments ir
favor of dairying is that the fer
tility Of the farm is increased
Milk and butter contain less
plant food than any product sold
from the farm. If a farmer sell!
five tons of clover hay he would
get about 500 for it. In selling
this hay he would sell about So:
worth of plant food. In selling
five tons of milk he would &c
about $3.50 which would contain
abont $50 worth of plant food
A dairy cow can convert a 10
Of grass which would be unfit TO
the market (she might gather i
from the fence jams) into a hig]
class marketable product.
good dairy COW is the most ct
ficient middleman for whateve
the farmer grows whether it b
grass, corn, peas, peanuts, velve
beans or whether he let's her hav
the land and not plant anything
There is one common mistak
made among farmers who begi
dairying as a part of their far
operations, and that is this: The
get into the habit OF buying thel
feed instead of growing it.
farmer is probably justifiable i
buying cotton seed meal b'
nothing else. When he begin
to buy chops, brand, etc., hi
milk check may 60 up but h
profits will go down. If he g
4Oc per gallon for milk he woul
probably make little at sue
business, but the farmer VIII
ships milk to the city will nevt
get that much and cannot affol
to buy high priced feeds.
