COTTON-SEED MEAL AS A
FERTILIZER.

Louisiana offers exceptional oppor-
tunities for the utilization Of cotton
seed meal as a feed for live stock"
says w. R. Dodson, Director, Expert
ment Stations, L. S. U. when meal
Is fed to cattle, the fertilizer from the
animals carries about eighty per cent
of the fertilizing value of the meal, and
making liberal allowance for waste
under average conditions, at least fifty
per cent of its fertilizing value ought
to be actually available for application
to the soil, leaving out of consideration
the value Of the accompanying vege-
table matter and the fertilizing value
of the residue of feeds used in combi-
nation with the meal; SO that the
product resulting from the feeding OF
a ton of cotton-seed meal, where the
manure is carefully harvested, would
be worth more In fertility to the soil
than ton of meal, and the cost of the
feed is practically reduced to the labor
of feeding, the interest on the invest
ment in animals consuming 1t, the in.
surance, and expense in handling the
manure. Soils that are being rapidly
built up to high state of productive.
ness, are generally soils receiving the
by-products of feed lot"

REDUcTIo AD ARsuRDuM.
(Vinton Booster.)

There is such thing as being too
much of an extremist. One Of the
candidates for representative in Allen
parish, declares that If elected he will
favor law declaring that the clerk of
police jury, parish treasurer, superin-
tendent of education be elected. That
would be going too far. A police jury
clerk is not a public official. He is like
a secretary, stenographer, etc. Like
wise parish treasurer under the con.
troll of the police jury, and as far "a
the superintendent of education Is con-
cerned, we think the people get better
service by having the Office an ap-
pointive one. There are people elected
to fill certain Offices that are unfit to
be public official, and whose fitness
consists Of being considered q Jolly,
good fellow" and ride into Office by
hot-air wave of so-called popularity.
Reduced to its logical conclusion, we
are forced to admit that il the Allen
gentleman's platform were enacted into
law, We might just as well elect deputy
clerks of court, deputy sheriffs, jailer,
court house janitor, etc. In our opinion
that part of the gentleman's platform
will not meet with public approval.

SOME MEN ALWAYS WRONG.
Syracuse Journal.)

On almost any question very large
number of the people would vote wrong
wrong, as history would prove. Thus
about half of Philadelphia respectable
citizens strongly opposed the Declare
ton of independence. Very nearly half
the people in the Is states voted
against the constitution under which
we have lived for 124 years, and which
we now revere. Patrick Henry, James
Monroe and scores of leaders declared
it would lead to kingdom. Half the
people Of the country were led to be-
lieve the United States Bank was a
political monster, and so Jackson hand
ed the republic over to a system of
corrupt state banks. LET the erring
sisters go in peace" was popular
phrase prior to the Civil War, and dis
union rather than fight was preached
in many pulpit and applauded by
newspapers and eminent citizens. Far
more than half the voters of the
United States voted against the first
election of Lincoln. Every big Ameri-
can city fought against the introduc-
ton of gas as a deadly menace. When
the railroads came, at about the same
time, they were branded as the sure
death Of great part of the population.
"Franklin's lightning rods" were ridi-
culed by some as lightning catchers. "
The trolley cars, only a score of years
ago, were pictured as SO many jugger-
nauts. The populace combated vacci-
nation against smallpox, and it still
fights in India against scientific treat
ment of the bubonic plague.

FEBRUARY 1 TO II, INCLUSIVE,
1916, DATE OF NEXT COURSE.

A course of lectures and demonstra-
tons extending over a period of ten
days is given each year by the faculty
of the University and especially invited
lecturers and instructors from this and
other states, and the United States
Department of Agriculture or other
branches of the federal service. These
lectures and demonstrations deal ex-
clusively with practical problems. They
are attended by farmers of all ages
and degrees of experience. In past
years some of the men engaged in the
largest agricultural enterprises Of the
state have attended these lectures
throughout and expressed their extreme
qualification at what they have been
able to learn from them. The other
extreme of small agricultural enter
prise has also been represented. The
small farmer has been emphatic also
in his expressions of appreciation of
the benefits derived from attending
these courses.
There is no tuition charged for this
course of lectures. The railroads give
Especial rates for those wishing to
attend. Most of the agricultural organi-
cations Of the state hold their annual
meetings during the period of this
course, thus bringing together large
percentage of the most progressive
land enterprising farmers of the state.

MAKING THE WORLD MORE
BEAUTIFUL.
MRS. w. l. zachry in The Progressive
Farmer)

|
Farmer.)
am living at an old homestead that
has belonged to several generations of
the same family. 1t has now passed
into the hands of strangers; the mem
bers of the old family are dispersed
and gone away. But this place is a
memorial to them, and especially to
the first woman who came here as
bride and lived here as wife and
mother through long and useful life.
Her impress is still upon everything;
! her spirit lives anew in the recurrent
blooming of her rose, garden. l, a
stranger, feel a kinship with her as |
breathe their dewy fragrance. Early
in the spring myriads of daffodils, jon
quils and narcissus came up in great
haste. Some bore trumpets and were
the trumpeters of the good tidings of
spring. the eternal yellows of all the
sunsets within the hearts of them, their
fragrance and freshness almost divine.
At Easter time the white flags unfurled
in all their purity, an emblem of the
sweet spirit Of her whose pure thought
and innate love of the beautiful gave
them, perpetual gift Of loneliness, to
those that came after her. To-day
there is flaming of crimson lilies and
amaryllis against the green shrubbery.
Nor can we who are the inheritors of
this loneliness forget that the sweet
ness of one woman made it all possible.
Though she is mingled with the dust,
the work of her hands lives on in the
beauteous life of the lilies; she is i'm
mortalized in the blooming of her
flowers.
There is lesson for me in all this
exquisite loneliness. l, too, may live
again in a flower or vine or tree. Who
of us but can recall even now. mothers
rose bush, or the hollyhocks, lilies, and
larkspur of the old home garden; the
trees that father planted, the Grape
myrtle by the gate, the oak and walnut
at the barn lot, to say nothing of the
individual fruit trees that had each a
name and personality Of it's own?
Now for the lesson. l have already
planted some blood-red cannas; they
are growing beautifully and will con-
tinue for years and years. am a
rolling stone" but | do try to leave
each spot | roll away from a little bit
improved. At one place where | once
lived Is growing clematis vine that
blooms like summer snow storm of
vapory white flowers. At another a
grand Virginia creeper covers plain
little cottage, changing it into fairy
castle by moonlight
1t is easy to set few straight fine
little trees in bare sun-stricken yard
Of the rented pleasures that are
growing wild and free all over our dear
Southland. Just thought of those
who are to come after US, and that
thought materialized by the planting
of walnut, or maple, or vine or fig
tree, or anything of beauty and Joy,
will make all the world lovelier and
ourselves nobler. Do this; do it now.
No matter if you only have a week to
stay where you are, leave a memorial,
so that others who live there in days
to come will know that it has some
time been the abode of one whose soul
was alive with the love of God and of
nature and humanity.

COST PER ACRE OF PRODUCING
OATS.

The above figures are conservative
and would apply equally as we'll where
the labor is hired or where the work is
done by the farmer himself. In either
case, the figures, based on a 30-bushel
yield, represent charge against the
crop. The cost of a 40 or rs bushel
yield would be increased very little,
only the items dealing with harvesting
and threshing being affected.
Taking the average price received
by the growers in the Delta parishes
in 1915, AZ cents per bushel I. o. b. ship
ping point, the 30-bushel yield would
be worth $3.50 per acre. Deducting
the per acre cost, leaves net profit Of
$3.50 per acre. 1t makes no difference
whether this amount is called land
rent or profit. 1t is an income from
the land to the farmer.
Where the soils are adapted to it, the
only additional cost of crop of les
Ipedeza following oats would be seed
and harvesting the hay.
The Louisiana farmer can always
produce a second crop behind his oats,
|such as peas, lespedeza, peanuts, Mex
lean June corn and peas, soy beans.
The cost of breaking and cultivating
the land for the crops to follow oats
would be small as the land will be
clean and in good condition to handle

WHY WITHHOLD A RiGHT7

Lake Charles American Press)
The esteemed but erratic Morgan
City Outlook breaks forth with the
following:
"Fhe fundamental error in woman
suffrage is the treatment of women as
a class. They are sex, and belong to
all classes. The contention that they
need the ballot to protect their in.
terests as sex, strikes at the founda.
ton Of the family, reflects upon their
fathers, brothers and husbands, and
raises the question of conflict between
the two sexes. 1t is the most damnable
piece of demagoguery every started in
Ia Christian world except prohibition
Women do not ask for fair treatment
politically either as class or as sex
but as human beings. They do not
need the ballot to protect their inter
ests as a sex, but their interests as
human beings.
The law knows neither sexes MOI
classes. If woman commute a muir
der, steals, or breaks any law, she is
subject to the same punishment as a
man. If she speeds up her auto, starts
la street row or throws waste paper in
the street, she is liable to the same
fine. We do not hear of women being
hailed into court for offenses against
the law so often, not because they are
in any way exempt, but because they
yield better obedience to law than men
and are to that extent better citizens
In like manner, if woman has prop
erty she is taxed in just the same
ratio, and If she fails to pay the tax il
is taken away from her just as re
morselessly. She has the same priv
lege of paying special taxes for i'm
provements, is allowed the privilege Of
voting for such improvements, and hel
aid is frequently invoked in their be
half. She is bound as strongly as q
man in any legal contract and may be
sued for damages If she breaks q
contract.
! Why shouldn't woman have a voice
in making the laws that apply with
equal force to her as to others? Why
should she be taxed, without having
an equal right with men to say who
shall spend the money and what Il
shall be spent for? BY what right il
she debarred from having voice II
the management of the schools wher
her money is taken from her to sustain
them? What sense of fairness woul(
avail itself of her aid in obtaining an(
paying for public improvements, ant
would deny her the right to see tha
her money was not stolen or>fritterei
away? Why force her to pay salaries
to officers she has no voice in selecting
The right to vote Is just as inheren
In woman as in a man. The right O.
self-government is human right, no
a sex right nor class right. Women''
interests as sex are well protected
by husbands, fathers and brothers
but when it comes to the question O
human rights, there Is at times grount
for a dreadful suspicion that the hus

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order of COM
panionship civilization has lowered
TO it's greatest heights. In this relar
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
nv amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law, Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an. outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
