Sweet Potatoes VS.. Strawberries.


Suppose we display the same
activity in reaching the market
with thousands of bushels of
sweet potatoes that is demon
strated by the strawberry grow
ers of Tangipahoa, what do you
suppose would be the result?
Sweet potatoes are not as perish
able as strawberries, and yet
berries sold in the Chicago mar
ket are making hustlers in Tan
gipahoa rich. Three hundred
dollars was realized from straw
berries raised in the corporate
limits of Leesville a few years
ago. on less than two acres of
ground, which shows that we are
around here" when it comes to
raising that luscious fruit. But
viewing these two products from
the standpoint of profit, the po-
tato has the strawberry Skin
ned" a mile. Mhen the berries
mature they are gathered fright
now, or you lose) and placed on
the market at a good figure, it is
true, but the soil is held by the
vine till the return of another
seaeon.
With the sweet potato not so!
They may be preceded by a good
crop of Irish potatoes (also a
money getter), which will be
gathered the latter part of May.
Prepare ground with a turning
pillow early in June for sweet po-
tatoes, and by the middle of Oc-
tober they should be gathered
and summed three or four days
in the field and then shipped d.
rect to markets of the north and
northwest. where they will readi-
ly command 81 per bushel whole
sale. Freight per bushel to Chi
cago is 80 cents, which will leave
a margin of II cents on each
bushel to cover incidentals, etc. A,
and give the producer so cents
for his potatoes. Besides, the
vines can be gathered by means
of a harrow, and cured and fed
to the cattle through winter.
And last, but not least, what
would form a more picturesque
scene than 100 Poland China pigs
on a ten-acre sweet potato patch,
feeding on the gleanings, with
their tails curled so tight they
cannot wink their eyes?-Lees.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1914-06-06


at this session with a good roads
bill framed along practical lines.
Congress is overwhelmingly in
favor of good roads legislation.
This is election year. and the
members of Congress from rural
districts fully realize that no sim
gle measure would endear them
to their constituents to the same
extent as an appropriation from
the federal treasury to help in
the building of good roads.
This is the comment of George
C. Diehl, chairman of the Ma
tional Good Roads board of the
American Automobile Associa-
ton, which is an active factor
throughout the country in high
ways progress. Continuing Mr..
Delhi says:
Out of the wilderness of good
roads bills, the confusing array
of statistics, the torrent of good
roads oratory (intended primari-
ly for home consumption), cer-
tain basic features have been
evolved which will undoubtedly
be incorporated in the legislation
to be enacted this year.
The first essential feature is
that the federal government shall
deal with no political unit smaller
than the State. There are near
ly 5000 counties and 80, town.
ships in the United States, thus
making $4,000 units which the
federal government must deal
with if it undertakes to give aid
on a local basis. This. from an
administrative standpoint, would
be almost impossible. and GER
tainly enormously expensive.
From a political standpoint the
pressure which would be exerted
upon the individual congressman
nv the counties and townships in
his district, each trying to get a
hand into the federal treasury,
would be so persistent and so re-
lentless that self-respecting men
would throw up the job. leaving
the field open to the political
wire pullers. The realization of
these fatal defects in any plan of
extreme localization renders abb
solutely certain the adoption of
the State as the smallest unit.
1T may be accepted as equally
certain that no federal aid plan
will receive the stamp of con-
gressional approval unless it pro-
vides some measure of self-help
on the part of the State. There
are more than two and a quarter
million miles of public roads in
the United States, and less than
10 per cent of this mileage can
be dignified with the title of i'm
proved roads.
IF the federal government
should attempt to pay the entire
cost of such construction or
maintenance as it might under
take, it would be confronted with
the problem of selecting from
two million miles of unimproved
roads such small percentage as
could be constructed or maintain
ed without bankrupting the fed
eral treasury, or it would have to
make its contribution for each
mile of road so small as to ac-
complish no tangible results, and
leave the roads at the end of a
term of years no better than they
were at the beginning of federal
aid.
The present sentiment in con-
gressional circles is for an auto
matte check upon federal aid in
the form of a State contribution,
and this feature will undoubtedly

L. II. & N. Roadway Being Improved.
The Shreveport Times Of June
A says: According to a state
ment by General Superintendent
H. B. Helm of the Edenborn line,
made to a Times representative
yesterday, the roadway depart
ment of that line is at present
directing all of its energies to-
ward the improvement of the
roadway between Shreveport and
the Mississippi river, and it is ex-
pected that by the end of the
summer every mile of the road
along that stretch will be ballast
ed and brought up to the highest
degree of physical perfection.
I'VE have had a great deal of
trouble with our roadbed between
here and the river" Mr.. Helm
said, land we have determined
to concentrate all our energies on
it this summer and bring it up to.
a state of perfection ranking
with the best and safest roadbeds
in the country.
I'VE have an inexhaustible
quantity of the very best grade
of gravel near Colfax, and we
are now working three big extra
crews of men getting gravel out
from the pits, distributing it
along the roadway with three
extra work trains. We are NOV
ing about eighty cars of gravel
every day, and we are going to
continue the work throughout
the entire summer with a view
of having the roadbed in such a
condition that when the winter
rains come they will have no in
furious effect upon it.
We have just completed a
emile stretch between Grapes
Bluff and Hagen, and it will
compare favorably with the best
piece of roadbed in the south,
and it is our intention to bring
the entire line up to this stand
ard.
I'VE are, of course, taking
care of the worst places in the
roadbed first, but the entire line
is to be thoroughly gone over be-
fore the end of the summer.
I'VE are buying and putting
down all the cypress cross ties
we can secure. We are taking
the entire output of three mills
east of the river, and on this side
we are buying all that is offered
for sale.
Our roadbed from New Or
leans to Grapes Bluff is in splen-
did condition, and when our sum-
mer work on the upper end is
completed we will have as fine a
roadway from here to New Or
leans as can be found in the
south.
While we are giving particu-
lar attention to the roadbed on
this end of the line, other i'm
provement matters are not being
overlooked.
ION next Sunday we will move
into our new freight building,
just completed, at Baton Rouge.
The location of this new building
offers increased facliltleS Tor TAX

block of the State House and the

one and a half miles of track
around the south side of the city
in order to consummate this i'm
provement, the total cost of which
will reach nearly 500, 900.

 MISS ADELE H.: Mixtures of pastel colors are much used on evening gowns Some- times as many as four or five colors are seen on one frock. There is fashion of using tunics of fine silk. set from two to four inches apart one above the other, each in q different shade. Often these colors are sharp contrasts. For your gray satin dress you might have triple tunic of pale lavender, pink. and green, with blue satin girdls with . touch of the three other pastel shades at the top in narrow folds

 If one teaspoon of glycerin is added to every four pounds of any kind of marmalade, fifteen minutes before boiling is completed. it will be found to remove the foggy appear ance and become transparent and much firmer than ordinary home made jam.
 When potatoes are inclined to turn black in cooking add few drops of vinegar to the water in which they are boiled. This is ex- cellent, as it makes the potatoes beautifully white and mealy.
 When washing cupboard doors etc, use a little whiting flannel instead of soap. It will remove all dirt marks without injur- ing the most delicate colored paint.
 To remove medicine stains on silver spoons use a few drops of methylated spirits and wash the spoons thoroughly in warm soapy water. Salt will remove all traces of egg stain if rubbed on the spoon gently and washed off at once in soapy water.
 To avoid using hooks and eyes that will rust test them with a magnet. If they can be drawn by the magnet they contain steel and should not be used on anything that re- quires laundering.
 For gas or waterpipe leakage take equal parts of common yellow soap, finely shred- ded. and ordinary whiting. Mix these to a thick paste with little water. Plaster the mixture well over the place and you will find that the escape will be enectually stopped for q tme
 If the metal tip comes off the shoe lacing and there is not other lace at hand, dip the tipless end into melted candle grease or parafYin and twist it to q point. When cold it will have sufficient stiffness to lace without trouble.
