PLANT A PATCH OF STRAW
BERRIES THIS FALL.

There is no good reason why every
farmers garden In North Louisiana
should not have it's strawberry patch,
giving an annual yield of luscious and
wholesome fruit, says e. J. Watson,
Horticulturist of the North Louisiana
Experiment Station. Our soils and
climate are we'll adapted to berry
growing, and in the course of time we
expect to see the strawberry become
an important commercial crop in this
section.
Perhaps the most important requisite
! in soil for strawberries is the thor
ough drainage, yet too little water is
unfavorable to the highest develop
ment of plant and fruit. Our warm
sandy loans will produce earlier fruit
but are much more subject to droutf
than the friable clay loans which
produce the best crops of fruit. Al
abundance of decayed vegetable mat
ter in the soil is also essential to tn,
highest degree of success.
October is the best time to plant
provided there Is sufficient moisture il
the soil. If too dry, the planting shoult
be deferred. In small patch, water
ing could De resorted to, and the plant
ling be done when the ground is ready

r. e. THOMPSON TRIES ALFALFA
tWoodville Republican,

Mr.. R. e. Thompson of East Feliciana
parish, who experimental with the
growing of alfalfa on two-acre plat of
land, informed the writer that he got
six cuttings this season which gave
him nine tons of hay. From the first
four cuttings he harvested six tons Of
fine hay, which was one and one-half
tons per acre cutting, the fifth cutting
giving one ton per acre and the sixth
one-half ton per acre. He found that
it will be necessary to reseed the
ground for another year owing to the
fact that the weeds killed out the
plants to considerable extent towards
the latter part of the season. He is
convinced, however, that alfalfa can be
profitably grown in this section, pro-
vided the land is given the proper at
tention and the necessary amount of
lime.
This gentleman also has fitted up a
red pepper drying plant for the pur.
pose of giving this industry thorough
test before moving the plant to Wood.

large quantity of pepper in his kiln
already, he appears to be so we'll salts

in the assertion that a market for this
product will be opened up in this towr

Editors The True Democrat:
A few days ago while in West Fe-
iciana | met gentlemen who is a
member of a large and influential
family in the Laurel Hill neighborhood.
In the course of short conversation
he mentioned the fact that since there
were no banks in the parish, he had
found it necessary to do his banking
in Woodville and that, while he pre-
ferred to do all his business in the
towns of St. Francisville and Bayou
Sara, the fact that his bank account
was in Woodyille naturally caused him
to do his other business there The
same thing was said of the other mem
bers of the family Now | wonder if
the business and professional men of
the towns of ST. Francisville and Bayou
Sara see the point? | am sure they
|do. What about the business of the
parish that is going to Jackson, Slaugh-
ter and Baton Rouge, to say nothing of
New Orleans, for the same reason?
There is a way to head off great
portion of this lost business patronize
your home bank. Don't be satisfied
with that, but insist on your friends
doing likewise. Be West Felicianian.
Respectfully yours,

ADVERTISE YOUR SHOES.
(Farm and Ranch.)

Much trade lost by small-town mer-
chants to foreign competition Ia the
result of antiquated advertising and
merchandising methods on the part of
the merchants.
A most impressive example in sub
sanitation of this statement came
under my observation about three years
ago in a small East Texas town.
woman called at her local dealers
to have a button replaced on a shoe,
which service was gladly performed
without charge.
After examinging the shoe, the mer-
chant asked where 1t was bought. "In
blank city," replied the lady. 81 buy
all of my shoes there, as wear only
this particular make of Shoes"
We'll, why don't you buy them from
me" countered the merchant. Il handle
this full line and can save you the
Expense and inconvenience of sending
away for them"
"You do" she rejoined. "Then why
don't you let people know it. You will
certainly get my future business"
| The only possible reason for her nor
having patronized him in the past was
lack of knowledge on her part that the
shoe was carried locally.
Same old story: an utter lack of
appreciation Of advertising on the part
of the small-town retailer.
Yes, there is good local newspaper
in this town. He has simply failed to
use it to let people know what he had
to offer them
Progressive merchants realize that
Ito get maximum selling results they
must keep their prospective patrons
posted as to what they have to offer.

SUGAR ISSUE NO MORE.

paul Wooton in Times-P -Picayune.)
Louisiana Progressives have cloudy
future to look forward to, in the opin-
ion of the editorial writer on the Wash
|ington Star. The action of the Secre-
|tary of the Treasury in recommending
that the free sugar clause of the tariff
law be repealed stripped their cloud of
its only possibility of having silver
lining, he seems to think The edito-
rial, which appeared in Tuesday after
moons Star, says:
John M. Parker, who has announced
his candidacy for governor of Louisi-
ana, is Bull Mooser in a limited
sense. He is personal friend Of
Mr.. Roosevelt, and would be glad to
isee his friend returned to the White
House. His present move is an ex-
preston of that feeling. Beyond that
the matter is open to question and
examination.
Last November the Bull Moosers
elected representative to the House
from the Third Louisiana district. The
cane interests are strong in the dis
trict, and in that campaign resented
the Presidents free sugar attitude. So
they turned down the Democratic can
didate, who was supporting the admin
|istration, and elected man committed
to a duty on sugar and pledged to vote
that way in the House at the first op-
lportunity. The other districts in the
state elected, as usual, the nominees
of the Democratic party.
Now this is all that Bull Moosery
means in Louisiana 1t is sugar, and
nothing but sugar. The Democrats
have decreed that sugar shall go on
the free list, and the Bull Moosers
sympathize with the Republican con-
tention that sugar should pay a duty.
first for revenue, and second for pro-
lection. AS the name Republican was
unpopular in Louisiana the friends Of
sugar, for campaign purposes, used the
name Progressive. They would pro-
gress toward Republicanism under the
Progressive banner.
But what would be left to Bull Moos-
cry in Louisiana if the Democratic
party at the coming session OF Con-
gress should rescind it's action and
|continue sugar on the dutiable list.
There is much talk Of that. The gov
eminent needs more revenue, and con-
siderably more is involved in the sugar
tax. Why, it is asked, cut off so large
a sum from source from which the
Icountry so long has drawn when 1t Is
in great need Of funds for purposes
which cannot be denied. Our bills for
the next fiscal year and maybe for a
much longer time, are going to be
large, and a treasury deficit is not a
national blessing. We must pay as
we CO.
Still, even if the Democracy stands
Ipat on sugar, transferring it to the
free list and finding the amount Of
revenue involved elsewhere, Bull Moos,
lery will not grow in Louisiana. The
chances are altogether in favor of the
electoral vote of the state again going
to the Democratic ticket. Democratic
control of state affairs, including the
machinery of elections, is complete,
and that virtually settles the question.
