NEWS FROM FENTON

Mr.. Neanaux of Lake Arthur was in
the Philips Bluff neighborhood Friday
and Saturday and bought several head
beef cattle. Mr.. John Hay returned
with him as far as Welsh to help deliver
the cattle.
Threshing is general now in the
Fenton community. The late Honduras
seems to be affected with blight and
the yield is small, in most cases below
six sacks per acre.
Mr.. c. j. Phelps of Fenton has sold
his mercantile business and was in
Lake Charles Thursday making out
deeds and contracts. The business was
purchased by Millar Bros. prosperous
ASsyrian business men of Oberlin who
will conduct the business.

FIGURES DO NOT LIE

Beaumont, Texas, Sept. 27.-Accord.
ing to figures compiled by Secretary
j. K. LegneneC, of the Rice MillerS
Association, about 50 per cent of the
brewers rice imported into this coun.
try comes from Germany, Austria.
Hungary ard Holland, while less than
8 per cent comes from England, the
rest being imported from the far
east. This indicates that the reports
Of large supplies of brewers rice in
England, available for export to this
country at nearly cent pound und'
er American prices was not based on
facts.
In the year ending June 80, 1913, the
total amount of brewers rice imported
was equivalent 1,376,O87 pockets of 100
pounds each. Germany furnished 724,
$50 pockets; Hungry GLIB;
Holland 27l,3S7 England 1913, 088, and
the balance came from the far east
the rice from the countries at war
and Holland not including England
amounted to l,063,4l5 pockets out Of
1875, 0S7 pockets. II is certain that no
rice will be available from Germany
and Austria Hungary, and it is almost
equally certain that Holland will not
supply the United States with brewers
rice during the war. England has
not the milling capacity nor the rice.
These figures show clearly, said
General Manger EignuS, Of the
Southern Rice Growers Assertion,
why American buyers of brewers
rice have not been stampeded by the
widely circulated reports of cheap
rice available for shipment from
Europe. Since these reports were
circulated American buyers have pur.
chased large quantities OF brew.
er's rice at prices upwards of a cent
above the alleged English prices, show,
ing that the American buyers knew
that foreign brewers rice is not avail
able at low prices.
"ConditionS in the bre wers rice
market are analogous to conditions in
the market for grocer's grade of rice
Despite the deliberate attempt to break
the market for clean for brewer S
rice, clean rice cannot be imported al
prices that would interfere with the
association basis of 81 a barrel fol
rough"

Influences Touching Soil.


Big crops usually follow year OF
drought, in the main due to the thor
ough pulyerization Of soil from that
agency Frost is another factor that
gives big crops whenever it enters the
ground deeply, and either of these
agencies will till the soil deeper than
any tools can reach.
There is yet another agency which
should never be neglected, deep root
ing plants, which, besides their mechan-
ical and acid action on the soil, bring
to the surface again fertility that has
leaChed or that which is out OF reach
of the shallower rooted plants, or those
with less subsoil penetration. Wheat
or oats will attack the subsoil to a
limited extent Alfalfa and sweet clo-
yer will work with us and for us all the
time.
While we work the top soil free Of
weeds, and retain the soil mulch,
which will enable the alfalfa to sur
rive, the plant roots are doing an in
fnitely greater work below, besides
adding bacteria, bringing soil to life
that has lain practically dead, except
at the very top, for all the ages that

FiIIinu the Silo.

Fear of frost is perhaps responsible
for more poor silage than any other
cause. This has been the observation
and experience of very many dairy
men. They have found that silage
made from green immature corn Is
liable to be sour and less palatable
than that put up" after the ears have
begun to glaze. The best silage Is
made from corn when many Of the
ears are nicely denting. Even If the
corn should. he frosted or dried from
ripening good silage may be made II
water is added at filing time.

PROCLAMATION or
GOV. |. E. HALL,

The time has arrived when people
are looking to the conservation CT the
natural and the preservation Of the
created reSourCeSiof this country. Our
forests are being preserved, our
W power and waterways
developed and utilized and the hidden
forces Of nature conserved and made
SubSerYient to the well being of man
But there is no drain so appalling, SO
useless, as the enormous annul fire
waste OF this country, amounting to
$25O,0OO,000. Statistics compiled by the
Marshal,S Department of Louisiana
show that the fire loss in this State
during the year 1913 amounted to
S3,633331, an amount nearly equal to
the cost of maintaing the State
government during the same period.
Recent years has witnessed a crafty.
ing increase Of the interest on the part
Of the people in fire prevention and
practical results are now appreciable.
We have learned that, it is easier
and cheaper to prevent than to eX.
tinguiSh fires and the enormous an.
nual fire waste can be minimized by
education and active cooperation Of
our people. Therefore, in accordance
with the custom already established
and in order to arouse our people to a
full realization of fire dangers and to in
duce them to take an active interest
in the:subjeCt, l hereby proclaim Fri
day, the
NINTH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1914
STATE FIRE PREVENTION DAY
and | earnestly recommend that our
people observe it by general clean
ING up and removal of rubbish, trash
and waste from their premises.
Let all heating apparatus and Chin
neys be carefully gone over and placed
in proper condition for winter use.
Let ali public and private institutions
hotels, aSylums, factories and theatres
be carefully looked over on that day
and when necessary, any changes
made that will further protect the
safety of occupants.
Let local authorities give attention
to the matter of better binding
regulations, fire protection and pre-
vention as we'll as added apparatus fo1
fire fighting.
Lastly, let fire drills be held or
that day in institutions, factories anC
in public, paroehial schools. and
earnestly recsmmend that the teach
ers instruct their pupils, through
short talks and proper programs OF
the dangers of fire and the sim
pier means Of fire prevention.
