Charlton Now Under Control.

Mr.. j. w. Whitaker, Jr., Dis.
trict Farm Demonstration Agent,
was in Grant parish on Monday
and Tuesday of this week, and
expressed himself as particularly
well pleased with the manage
ment of the Charlton outbreak
about Sand Spur and Antonio by
Mr.. R. H. Benton, Jr., the farm
demonstration agent for this par
ish. No further cases have ap-
peared since the two cases re-
ported two weeks ago. In all
Mr.. Benton has vaccinated five
hundred head Of horses, mules
and cattle, treating each animal
twice. making a full thousand
operations in all that he has per-
formed since the disease first ap-
peared. He thinks the disease
is now well in hand, but requests
that any and all suspicious cases
be reported to him at once.

Prospective Oil Developments.

Messrs. A. w. Baird and j. ]. Var
Cleave, capitalists of Shreveport, in.
terested in oil drilling operations, ar.
rived in Colfax Thursday. and in COM
pany with Capt. C. H. Teal took an
automobile ride over prospective oil
lands. We understand they have made
the citizens of Colfax a definite propo-
sition to drill three wells for oil in this
vicinity under certain conditions, which
it is probable will be complied with.
The Nantachie Oil and Gas Co. is
organizing and said to have about ar
ranged their affairs to get to work,
and they expect to begin active opera
tons within the next thirty days.
The oil well being drilled by the Col
fax Oil & Gas Co. at Lenzburg has been
completed. the oil tanks erected, and
everything is in readiness for the well
to be drilled in to-day. The company
is composed almost entirely of local
capital, and the stockholders are conf
dent of getting good producer.

Work of Farm Demonstration Agent

Work of Farm Demonstration Agent.
In a report submitted by R. H.
Benton, Jr., to his department
head he reported that 428 head
of stock had received two doses
of vaccine. The vaccine cost
him Is cents per head for the
two doses, and he charged the
farmer 20 cents per head to cover
cost of cotton, disinfectant and
broken needles. On the 428 head
he was one ounce of cotton and
80 cents ahead of the game. This
is about as close as the cost can
be figured and come out even.
The difference of 20 cents per
head and one dollar per head has
saved the farmers of Grant par
ish $342. 40, which they would
have had to pay a veterinarian
to do their vaccination if. they
had not had their agent to do it |
for them. In other words our
agent has saved the citizens of |
Grant parish $342.40 in three
weeks at a cost of less than $50
from the parish and government
funds, which goes to show that
Dur demonstration agent is a
paying institution.

! The st. Louis Republic, an.
nouncing the arrival of the first
car of winter wheat in that mar
ket, says in an editorial:
The first car of wheat of the 1915
crop, which arrived in St. Louis on
Monday, was shipped from Ferriday.
La. Annually the first car of wheat Is
a significant bit of news for this mar
ket, but this year the shipment is much
more significant than ever before. In
the memory of the oldest grain traders
on the merchants exchange there has
never before been any wheat shipped
out of Louisiana. Mondays shipment,
therefore, means that the south has
hearkened to the plea for diversified
ton OF crops. 1t is concrete evidence
that the southern planter is sowing his
lands with cereals where heretofore on
~ cotton seed was planted. From this
forward agriculturists in the south will
raise the things with which to feed
themselves and others in their zone.
A new era of economic development
has begun, which for the south is as
important as any change since the civil
war. For those who ponder this means
a greater prosperity and independence
for the cotton states. 1t took world
war to jar the planter out of his rou-
tine into the realization that his land
must feed those who till it, but the
lesson has been learned The new
south has become new in one more
particular. And the arrival of the first
car of winter wheat at St. Louis pro-
claims the news.
Ferriday is in the parish of
Concordia, in the rich delta coun-
try, where heretofore the farm
er has raised cotton to exclusion
of every other crop. The world
war, as our st. Louis contempt
rary states. has undoubtedly had
great deal to do with the turn
ing away from cotton and to the
cereals; the boil weevil also had
a share in it, without doubt. But
whatever was responsible, the
results are good-and results are
what Louisiana wants. 1t has
been demonstrated that Louisi-
ana soil produces the finest corn
in the world; the Ferriday ship
ment shows that Louisiana can
also grow wheat. With the early
maturity of the grain in this
State, Louisiana wheat could
easily be made big factor in the
worlds market. Shreveport Jour-
nal.

Wheat Not New Crop in Louisiana.

; Wheat Not New Crop in Louisiana.
We print an article this week
headed THE Lesson Learned in
louisiana" in which the state
ment is made that the first wheat
which arrived in st. Louis this
year is from Louisiana. The
Shreveport Journal in comment
ing about this matter seems to
think this shows for the first time
that Louisiana can grow wheat.
During the war between the
States in 1863-4-5 and for a year
or two later, great deal of
wheat was raised in North Lou
isiana, along the line of the v.
S. & P. railroad, as any old citi-
zen of that section can testify.
However, the rust and smut got
so bad in the wheat that in a few
years after the war its planting
was abandoned and the farmers
went back to raising only cotton
and corn-and very little corn.
