State Normal School Notes
By Rosina A. Singer.

President v L. Roy has returned
from DeRidder, where he went in the
interest Of the Normal.
The spring term opened March 9.
with a large attendance, quite a few
new students being enrolled, Judg=
ing from appearances this term will
be one of the most successful in the
annals Of the school. Everyone has
gone to work with vim and is
bound to succeed.
Miss Cecile Mandot has arrived to
replace Miss Isabel Hallanger, who
left us to do concert work. Miss
Iandot is a very capable person, a
pupil of CheY Dr. Giuseppe Ferrata,
os New Orleans, and we are quite
sure she will do her new position full
justice.
Another vacancy in the faculty,
caused by the approaching marriage
of Miss May Phillips, art teacher, is
being filled by Miss Evelyn Sheen, a
graduate of NeWcomb Art School.
Miss Sheen has just returned from a
tWo-year sojourn with the Art Stu
dents League of New York. where
she received honorable mention. We
gladly welcome these talented people
to Normal Hill, and are sure they
will be a valuable addition to it.
Material has been sent to the print
ers by President Roy containing the
announcements for the summer school
to be held here. Heretofore it has
been everything that could be de-
sired, but the arrangements show
that this summer it will be better
than ever before. A large attendance
is expected. We all want to be num-
hered among them, and SO do you, SO
get ready to come.

Country Boys Greed.

In every schoolhouse in Prince
Edward county, Va, a pIacard con-
tanning a creed for the American
country boy, dedicated to the boys
corn clubs Of Virginia, has been post
ed. It reads:
Il believe the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
which man made; that life out of
doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life Of man. | believe
that work with nature is more in
spring than work with the most in
tricate machinery. | believe the
dignity of labor depends not on what
you do, but how you do it; that op-
portunity comes to a boy On the farm
as often as to a boy in the city;
that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in the
town; that my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself;
not upon my dreams, but upon what
I actually dos not upon luck, but upon
pluck I believe in working when
you work and in playing when you
play, and in giving and demanding a
square deal in every act of life.

An Important Matter,

All births and deaths must be reg
istered. Civilization demands it,
the law requires it. The penalty
for neglect is a fine of from SO to
$500. Physicians, midWiFes and par
ents are all liable.
In this day of enlightenment no
state can afford to let her children
be born and die like stray dogs, with.
out official notice or record.
It is a crime against helpless in
fancy to imperil the birthright OF
the poorest child by failure to re-
cord it's birth and parentage. That
is what many people, through ignor.
ance or carelessness, are doing in
louisiana today. The law now pro.
vides a punishment for that crime.
Shall Louisiana lag behind her sis
ter states? Other states are now
recording every birth among their
children. Shall we do less for ours?
Registration is offered free. TIE
local registrars Of this district are

Hanson.
Remember this appeal! Heed it!
Tell other people about it! It is
made for the benefit of posperity and
the good name Of our state by the
LOUISIANA STATE BOARD OF

Suggestions for up-to-date Farmers.

Suggestions for up-to-date Farmers.
The Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau offers the following help
full advice to Wide-aWake farmers:
Every farmer should plant an abun-
dance of sweet potatoes, for they are
good things to have, even though
the market should not be able to take
them
Those potatoes the slothful farmer
planted fer the early market, but
didn't get in the ground in time, will
make the finest sort of feed for hogs,
provided the hogs are permitted to
harvest them. a real farmer can't
very well afford to do work a big can
do so much better than he can do it.
It isn't a good business proposition.
But, with your commercial crop
ready for the early market the first
of August, those You need for home
consumption, for seed for yourself
and to sell to the thriftless farmer
who didn't save any seed. may be
allowed to mature: and the hogs
should harvest the balance.
| Have you soWed lespedeza in your
oats yet? II you haven't do SO before
the end of March, It requires but a
short time to SOW the seed-no plow-
| ing. disking or narrowing necessary,
and you can make another profitable
crop on your land. Lespedeza in
southwest Louisiana is mortgage lift
er, and the man who pretends to be
| farmer and is without it, owes an
apology to his i've stock. Sow
| lespedeza in your oats this month.
| Now, about your corn seed. Pro-
fessor Kidder, OF the State Agricul-
tural College at Baton Rouge, and sec
retary of the State Corn Growers
| Association, has sent a letter warn
ing farmers of the low terminating
qualities of the average corn seed
/ this season Even where corn looks
1 to be sound, Prof. Kidder says that
/ in many instances it is bad, hence
the only safe way is to test it.
| 1t will be tested free by the state
college, but Prof Kidder gives the
/ following rule for testing at home:
Take several soup plates or pie pans,
fill them nearly full of loose earth,
and cover the kernels with a thin
layer of soil. Cover the pans to pre-
! vent the escape CT the moisture, and
i keep them in room where the tenn
perature will not go very low.
/ Don't fail to plant plenty of corn.
Plant only selected seed. and either
test it yourself or have it, tested at
1 Baton Rouge.

Why Don't You Ask Your
Uncle Sam?

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, Herbert Quick, the editor,
says that We citizens pay our scien-
fists and experts, but that few OF us
use them as We might. There is not
a worm, bug, a blight, a disease, or
a problem of the soil which is not
studied by these hired men of ours
and about which they are not anxi-
GUS to tell US. Mr.. Quick goes on in
part, as follows:
AT the United States Department
Of Agriculture in Washington almost
any question will be answered by ex-
perts free of charge. In such cases
not even a stamp is required for re
ply. They will examine diseased
plants and tell what the remedy is,
# there is one. Someone has said
the way to tell a toadstool from a
mushroom is TO eat tiff you die it's
a toadstoo1: but these experts will
save you the trouble of dying, and
tell you in case of doubt, il you will
send them the specimen
The number of things an obser-
want farmer-especialIy a young one
wants TO know is simply iIIimita-
bic. And ne can be sure if there
is an answer it will be sent him.
The country teacher who wants TO
ruralize her rural school might well
ask for these problems to be brought
to the school and sent thence to
the experts. Such a policy will do
much TO bring the government closer

with more intcnsiveness has been that high freight rates have eaten
