FARM PRACTICE
IN CONTROLLING
CRAMFISH DAMAGE,

- Aoha1 bohs ~ VI" Ii uidH
sections Of the black prairie bel
OF Alabama and Mississippi, ac
cordiDg to the United States De
partment of Agriculture, there are
times when crawfish, or cray fish
do a considerable amount OF
damage to early spring planted
crops, especially corn, cotton, and
alfalfa. A simple method of farm
practice followed by Mlssisslp pi
farmer has proven very effective
IN controlling these pests and il
worthy of an extended trlal
throughout the entire belt.
This man observed that the
damage by crawfish is usually less
Oh land that has been in cultiyat
Ell crops for several years than on
land that is broken up and cult
waited after having been in mead
ow or pasture or lying out for a
number of years. The reason for
this Is obvious. Crawfish do their
greatest damage from early spring
to the middle of June and as they
destroy only the young and tender
plants their food supply IL materi-
ally decreased In cultivated fields
after the plants have reached a
certain stage OF development.
These facts led this farmer to
conclude that by adopting a crop
ping system involving the use of
late planted crop of corn which
permitted breaking the land early
in the winter and then summer
following, that Is, dlskiDg ana
narrowing frequently until the
latter part of June, be could starve
out and other wise destroy most of
the crawfish before the corn was
planted. AS an experiment he
took piece of badly infested
land that had been in pasture for
a number of years and worked it
as above described. The result
was very satisfactory, and by re-
peating the work Oh the same
land the following year the craw.
fish were practically eliminated.
This method will not be practlc
able where cotton is to be planted
continuously, but it lends ithelf
readily to cropping system in
vOlving the use of cotton one year
10 four. 4 good rotation for such
condition would be,
1st year-Land plowed in late
winter and kept free of all plant
growth till June, when corn is
planted; cOwpeas sown in corn at
last cultivation.
2ad year-Cotton, followed by
oats in the fall, and melilotus
sown on oats in March.
3rd year Oats for grain. Nell
lotus for hay after the oats are
harvested.
4th -Melilotus for seed.
Az carbon bisulphide is very
effective in destroying crawfish,
it might be used extensively be-
fore planting or subsequently
should any crawfish escape the
cultural treatment. This fluid |
may be applied by means Of an
ordinary quart oil can with noz |
zle compressed SO that four or five
drops only are liberated when the
can is depressed over the crawfish
hole. The burrow should be clos
ed at once with pressure of the
heel. BY combining these two
the farmer will be able
TO effectively control the crawfish
% his land if he keeps the har
rows going, so that they destroy
all plant growth on the land from
3arly spring to early corn plant
ing time.

SOUTHWESTERN
REFLECTIONS,

Although the weather has been
untoward, up 70 the present there
is no occasion for Encouragement
La Southwest Louisiana we are
blessed with a long growing sea
SOD, and the excessive rainfall
may, after all, be the means of
protecting us from having early
planted crops frost, bitten.
Don't fret about the weather.
There are plenty of things the
farmer can do in the way of max
ing improvements about his prem
lses-improvements which, if the
weather were good, he would never
make. Moreover, the weather
which keeps the farmer out OF the
field will give better opportuni
ty to test his seeds, the imperative
dnIy of doing which was the sub
ject of last weeks discussion.
lf the weather should have be
come ideal by the time this article
appears, It's precepts will not have
been lost because they will keep
they are as good for next year as
they are for this year; and will be
as long as rains interfere with
farm labor and farmers baye to
plant seeds and keep up the farm
machinery.
How many farmers are going to
plant iespedeza this year? 1t is
the great hay crop Of Southwest
Louisiana, because it is a highly
valuable forage crop and while
making the most nutritious hay
for cattle and horses is, at the
same time, silently gathering ni
trogen from the air and storing il
in the soil, Systematically pro
dnced 1t will save the farmers of
Southwest Louisiana, alone, mil
lions OF dollars, they would other
wise have to pay out for the pur
chase of cotton seed meal or other
fertilizer with heavy nitrogen
content.
No farmer in Louisiana is enti
tied to being called progressive
who does not plant somae acreage
this year in lespedeza In order
TO get good work from his teams
he must have bay aud no hay
gives better feeding results than
which grows wild In
many places in Southwest Loaisi
ana.
Likewise meat is going to be
high this gear. The day seems to
be drawing near when dollar a.
pound po ter house steaks will be
realized. What is going to be
your situation when that condi
lion arrives? Are you going to be
the man to pay a dollar-a pound
steak to sell to the other fellow?
Its time to think about this NOW.
In this manner every farmer
must s'd0" the other fellow, in the
sense Of producing the steak, or
De s.done' by him, SO you'd better
Sc in the doing class and have
lollar steaks for the other fellow t

BETTER LAUGH THAN SCOLD
Wise Writer Gives Some Advice That
All Women Would Do Well to
Remember.

II he is suspicious don't take him
too seriously.
And why? Because, II you do, there
is always a great probability that he
will imagine that there is a good foun.
dation for his foolish want Of trust.
A lover is inclined, perhaps natur'
ally, to be a triHe Jealous Of the be-
loved one; but even this usually harm
less characteristic should not be en-
couraged overmuch.
As for suspicion, II should never
raise its ugly head in the paradise OF
love; II II does. 1t will spoil everything
and cast a gloom over what should be
undiluted happiness.
A wise girl will therefore always try
gently to laugh her sweetheart out OF
such unpleasant fancies; Of course
she will be careful not to give him
reason to begin them, but If they dc
unluckily crop up, then she will do her
utmost to Danish them.
Kindly laughter will often do more
to make a man see that he has been
foolish and wrong than any amount OF
the bestintentioned scolding or re.
proaches.
The latter are apt to leave sore
ness and resentment behind them
whereas a good.natured laugh leaves
no sting OF any sort.

TEMPERANCE INSURANCE.

1T may interest abstainers to
know" says the Temperance Leader,
that in 1910 an application was re-
ceived by an English insurance COM
pany for a policy on the life of an
abstainer, and the directors of the
company decided to charge ten per
cent. more than the ordinary pre-
MUM, because they looked upon the
applicant as thin and watery. and as
mentally cranked in that he repudi-
ated the good creatures of God as
found in alcoholic drinks. AS the
result of this action, he, with his
friends, founded the first temperance
insurance company in Britain. and
himself lived to the age of eighty
two.

THE LAST LAUGH"

THE LAST LAUGH"
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds of the
press. 1t assails William Allen
Whites story, whats the Matter
With Kansas?" published some time
since in the Saturday Evening Post.
''Mr. White" 1t said, boosted about
the big crops of Kansas, the per cap
ita wealth of Kansas, the number Of
automobiles in Kansas, and almost
succeeded in making everyone believe
that Kansas was wholly rich as well
as richly holy. But he overdid 1t.
And his home town, Emporia, is the
goat. For years the College of EN-
poria has been largely supported by
means of donations from wealthy
Fasteners. who imagined they were
assisting a poor little college on the
wind-swept prairies.' When these
rich patrons read Mr. Whites clever
but misleading article hey withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an
nual donation of 100000, which used
to come out of the East"
The National w. G. 7. U. Bureau Of
Publicity forwarded the article to Mr..
White and in reply he says:
II have received, l should say, a
dozen or fifteen clippings from all
over the United States exactly like
the one you sent. The clippings was
sent out by the liquor interests
through the National Clipping bureau,
and there is no truth whatever in the
statement. 1t is pure fiction"
Mr.. White sends also the following
statement written for the public by
the president OF the college:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:
Il have learned that certain selfish
interests are circulating a story that
the College Of Emporia has lost dona'
tions and subscriptions in the East,
due to an article in The Saturday
Evening Post on the prohibition situa-
ton in Kansas, written by William
Allen White. l wish to say there is
absolutely no foundation for this
story.
Very truly yours,
HENRY COE CULBERTSON,
President College of Emporia."
In a personal letter to Mr.. White,
copy of which is also in the hands
of the w. C. T. U. Publicity bureau,
Mr.. Culbertson deals with the college
financial affairs in detail We quote:
"The article to which you call my
attention is utterly absurd. Neither
the College of Emporia nor Washburn
college ever received AN annual do
nation of 100000 from the East. So
far as | can ascertain, during the en-
tire thirty-two years existence of the
College of Emporia, this institution
has not received as much as $65,00O
in all, for all purposes, buildings, en-
dowment and current expenses, from
persons living outside the state. This
is an average of about two thousand
dollars per year. Almost all of our
endowment, and the money to erect
our buildings, as well as the money
to meet our current expense budget
of $4,000 per year. has come from
the gifts of the people in this pro
hibition state of Kansas.
Even If 1t cost us 100000 or any
other amount in possible gifts, oul
faculty, officers and trustees would
still indorse most emphatically the
prohibition policy, which we believe
involves the moral and social vel
fare of our state and nation"
