slble for the splendid showing made
by the st. Landry town and had not
his teammates given him such a

dashes.
Starting out last on the final lap
OF the relay race Jenkins ereeped

The Panama-Pacific Internationa
Exposition have Just issued a new
booklet. 1t is a de luxe book in
every particular, illustrated with 4
number of doubIed-paged coloreC
maps. and beautiful pictures in col
ors reproduced from paintings
showing scenes from the Panama
Canal Zone. California, San Fran
cisco. and vicinity. This booklet
makes 1t perfectly clear that the
opening of the Panama Canal is to
be one Of the greatest events in the
worlds history, and the great ex-
sltlon which is to mark the OPEN
Ing will be III every way worthy of
the great event which it celebrates.
10 see and read this book is
enough to fill anyone with a desire
to attend the great Exposition at
San Francisco in 1915.
The Remington Typewriter Com
pany, who have been appointed Of
fetal distributors of this new book
let, announce that copies are now
on hand for free distribution at all
their local offices. and all those in
terested T invited to call and get
one.
The appointment of a private
concern like the Remington Type
Writer Company as the official dis
tributors Of the Panama-Exposi-
ton booklet is an entirely new de-
parture in exposition management.
The story of this appointment is as
follows:
Last year when it was decided by
the Committee of the Exposition
having the matter in charge. to
print this beautiful de luxe booklet,
one of the question which was to be
solved was the problem of distribu-
ton. 1t was decided to print the
booklet in many languages. and a
Worldwide distribution was de-
sired. To this end. d worldwide
organization was required. Sucn
an organization could not be readily
readily improyised, and it was nee
essary to seek for one among the
great institutions already ii exist
enee. After considering many plans
the Exposition finally chose as Of
fetal distributors the Remington
typewriter Company.
The reasons for this choice are
quickly stated. There are 658 eRm-
Typewriter saIesrooms III
as many different cities. covering
every country on earth. and the
Remington Typewriter Company
and its machines are Familiarity
wherever men communicate
each other in written Ian
guage. These facts pointed clearly
TO the Remington Typewriter Com
as the best available agency
through which to make the distrl-
button.
This was indeed a most unusual
commission to bessuw upon a Drs-
vate business house. 1t serves
to distinguish the Rerni'is-
,on Typewriter Company a. Il of
he worlds universal institutions Of
he present day.
The distribution is nov being
made by the Remington Typewriter
Company the world 'oyer. All If
lur readers who are in any way
Interested in the great Cana. ard
he great Exposition ought TO have

The time to get one is now. The
way to get it is to cali al the local

Southwestern Reflections


UntoWard circumstances Of cold.

drought interfered greatly with
planting operations in Southwest
Louisiana this season. AS a result

first working, while some crops are
only coming out of the ground.
In many cases lateness is not the
sole trouble with the corn crop.

spring in producing short crops.
This makes it imperative that the
farmer should exert himself to the
utmost while it is yet time to do so.
to get al much as possible out of his
corn land. Cow peas ought to be
| planted in generous quantities on
| every acre Of it.
But a W~ide-aWake farmer in Aca-
dla parish advises this Bureau that
for several years he has been I'M
able to produce cow peas on his
land. The vines grow Iuxuriantly.
they even bloom, but they produce
no pods or seed. This information
was conveyed to Professor Dodson.
Dean of the State College of Agri-
culture at Baton Rouge. with the
request for such information as
his experiments might suggest. The
reply was, that complaints of this
character are becoming quite gen
eral in many portions of the state.
In some instances" says the
Professor, farmers have been able
to solve this problem by growing
the New Era cow pea. or a variety
of more recent introduction. the
Brabham. We have tried to asso-.
clate the failure with fungus dis
ease OF with insect injury. but have
been unable to establish any di-
rect connection between the failure
of the seed crop OF either fungus
or insect infections"
This information is worth money
to the farmers of Southwest Louis
lana If only they will act intelli-
gently upo nit. Cow peas are rich
in those properties which go to
make nutritious food for man and
beast. The vines gather nitrogen
from the air and store it in the soil. |
thereby greatly enrlchlng the land.
Therefore, they ought to be planted
on every acf of ORR grown in
Southwest Louisiana. Especially is
this important at a lime like this
when. because of imperfect stands
the yield per acre seems TO promise
to be short.
But when both seed and vine are \
wanted-and every farmer ought to-
want both-plant the variety of
seeds most likely to produce both.
This isn't intended as a boast for
any particular variety of seed. It
is information obtained from the
most reliable scientific sources
and it is given out sorely to help
,he farmer to make the best of the
by which he is surrounds

Every farmer should bear ID
mind that the richest soil in the
world will break down under asys'

LAWLER ANNOUNCES FOR COM
MISSIONER OF RE

After considering the wishes o.
many friends and acquaintance
throughout the State, and The
strong sentiment which exists foi
improvement in the conduct of the
affairs of our State Agriculture
Department, | have decided to an
nounce to the voters Of louisiana
that | am a candidate for Commits
sioner of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton, subject to the action of the
Democratic Primary to be held il
January, 1916. In doing so | am
persuaded by the hope and belief
that my many years of active ey-
perience and study of the agricul-
tural and economic conditions OF
our Safe have qualified me in some
measure to meet the requirements
and expectations of my friends.
Coupled with this is an ambition not
only TO occupy, but to faithfully
and successfully discharge the du-
ties of an office which | consider
one of the most important in the
gift Of the people Of my State.
Should | be elected. and believing
as | do that improved marketing
will do more than any one thing to
encourage diversitication and in
crease agricultural production. |
will, with the assistance Of all
forces interested in agricultural de-
yelopment, establish a State mar
keting system in Louisiana, which
will save many thousands of dol
lars annually for those ENGAGED IN
agricultural pursuits.
If elected | shall be active III
promoting the interest of all classes
consistent with the duties of the
office, and will cooperate with the
other State departments in an at
tempt to upbuild the States gen.
serai welfare and prosperity. Is
pecIally will it be my purpose to
join hands with the State College
of Agriculture, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. the State

.viduals engeged in the lettering of

where possible to make country life
more attractive. and the building
up of the country schools. and of
the teaching of agriculture in our
public schools and colleges, to the
end that our future generation of
farmers may be enabled to compete
with, if not excel. those of other
States.
| believe the honest farmer should
be able to secure the money nee
essary for his needs at a reasonable
rate of interest, and ON LONGER terms
than u Banks are now able to
grant, and / believe a comprehen-
sive Rural Credit System is neees-
sary to accomplish this: if elected

such a system for our State.
Finally, | believe that Louisiana
