FERTILIZER AND
FEED BILL AGAIN
SPECTACULAR CONTEST OF 1912
TO BE RENEWED IN THE NEXT
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Baton Rouge.-That the fight Of 1919
will be renewed at the coming session
OF the General Assembly to place the
fortified and feed stuff inspection
work under the direction of the expert
ment station, is indicated in the re-
port of W. r. Dodson. director of Tic
State Experiment Station, to Governor
Hall.
The fertilizer and feed stuffs con-
troll work should be NOrgaEized If
the best results are to be secured"
said DR.. Dodson.
Legislative enactments from time.
to time have SO entangled the duties
OF those engaged in the agricultural
activities of the state that some OF
the old laws should be repealed and
new laws enacted, that will clearly set
forth the fields of activity in which
the state is to engage in promoting
agricultural development, and more
clearly define the responsibilities of
those who may be elected or employ
ed to do the work, as well as the au-
thority of the boards to whom respon.
sibilities are entrusted.
LAS illustration of this entangle-
ment | cite you to the fact that the
Board OF Supervisors of the Louisiana
State University elected the professor
OF agriculture at the State University,
who, eX-Officio becomes director of the
experiment stations. The work of the
stations is under the supervision of
the State Board of Agriculture and I'M
migration. We thus have one board
electing man to have have charge
or the work over which we have no
control, and another board having con.
troll of the work without authority to
employ or discharge men to do the
work.
Again, there is division of authority
IN the inspection and analysis of ferti.
lizers and feedstuffs that is detrimen.
tai to the best service.
scientific investigation is pre-emi.
nently the first function of the ex.
pertinent stations. For the best re.
suits, those engaged in this work
should be relieved very largely of
other responsibilities.
There are but two reasons that 7
know of from the farmers viewpoint
why the work of fertilizer and feed.
STUFF inspection should be participated
n by the experiment stations, since
We nave passed through the pioneer
stages OF investigation along these
ines. One reason that has been ad.
'anced for such participation is that
he analytical work is scientifically
echnical, and only technically train
ID men should be employed to do this
work; and that such men being out
If the realm of politics would not be
employed by political officers. The
'ther reason is that the stations have
received pecuniary aid in carrying on
heir work by the net revenue re.
naming after paying the expenses OF
ne inspection and analytical service.

his pitchers that Demaree will not OPP
pose the O'Day crew. Al was the only
guy the Cubs beat when the Giants
were here.
Cheney and Vaughn are sure to
pitch two of the games.
More and more the need is en-
phasized for a good young catcher
on the Cub team. Archer is out with
a fractured elbow, and Bresnahan,
wounded in the foot and hand. at
present, is liable to lame himself for
long period by working before he is
entirely recovered.
Roger had to get out of the game
toward the close yesterday, foul tip
hitting him on the foot. Needham
went to his rescue.
Tom is willing enough, but too slow
and weak in batting. Hargrove is in
experienced, but it might not be
bad idea to let him get his baptism
of fire. Against the Giants he would
have a hard time, and McGraw's men
would probably run wild on the bases,
but a few games one way or the
other can make little difference to
the Cubs in the ultimate result.
The team isn't going to win the
pennant, and now is the time to start
building for the future.

tie, and improving in effectiveness

Fisk and Farrell have shown the
greatest improvement. The young
pitcher took his poundings at the
start of the season, but has developed
into a good pitcher. He still lacks
some steadiness, but will acquire that
commodity with the frequent work
he is getting. He held Brooklyn to
four hits in seven innings.
Farrell is a 100 per cent improved
ball player. Shortly after the sea-
son opened Tinker contemplated
benching him because of weak hit
ting. An hour before the first game

the North Side Manager Joe gave
it out that Fritz would go to second
and Farrell be benched.
He allowed Johnny to show off be-
fore the home folks, however and
has never been sorry for the change
of plan. Farrell hit in that game,
slumped off little, and lately has re-
turned with vengeance, batting as
hard and often as any man on the
team. And his fielding is treat. He
would be received with open arms by
several American and National league
managers, and you needn't leave Chi
cago to find team that would grab
him if the opportunity offered.

Washington Correspondent Tells
About Pretty Wife Of Our Senator

NAotilN0loN, ~. ", ApTll o.
ALI the world hears about the
deeds and the duties and the ac-
tivities of public men. But II is
very seldom that the power be-
hind the throne"-their wives
get into the limelight.
This story is about Mrs. Miles
Poindexter, wife of the senator
from the state of Washington.
Mrs. Poindexter has twinkling
black eyes and a very keen sense
OF humor. She is a regular rooter
for her home state, although she
maintains that living in Washing
ton, ID. c., is quite a lark and
quite a privilege.
She was educated In a private
school In Walla Walla. One of
her chief fads Is travelling. She is
said to have explored practically
every nook and Granny of the
United States.
She says she Is neither a club
woman nor a feminine agitator.
Yet she is thoroughly conversant
with current events and likes
nothing better than to discourse
on the excellent laws which Wash
ington has passed for women and
children.
Mrs. Poindexter considers living
in the nations capital a delight In
every respect except expense. And
she frankly admits that 1t costs
her about double the amount to
keep up her establishment there
that 1t would to maintain her
household at home.
