Southwestern Reflections



It is high time to be thinking
about seeds again. In every
worthwhile undertaking, half OF
the battle is won by starting out
right. So, in farming the two
prerequisites to the highest sue
cess are, proper preparation OF
the soil and good, sound we'll
selected seed.
With the ground broken deeply
pulverized and fortified the next
important object Of attention is
the seed. The great Teacher OF
GalIilee laid down an eternal
principle when he announced the
maxim, a corrupt tree cannot
bring forth good fruit" Like
wise, we cannot expect good
crops from seed taken at random
and without regard to souudness
or trueness to type.
Every year the farmers OF
Southwest Louisiana are put to
much expense and trouble by
reason of the difficulty in secur-
ing proper stands of corn and
other crops. Sometimes the diff
Aculty is in lack of proper prepare
Ftion, but more often the trouble
is the failure of the seed to
terminate because of its unsound-
ness.
This expense and delay are
avoidabIe and unnecessary. The
Agricultural Department of the
Louisiana State University con-
ducts seed testing work every
year and all that the farmer has
TO do is to send samples of his
seed there and have them tested
free of cost. Any one of the
parish farm demonstrators in
Southwest Louisiana will be
glad to show the farmer how to
do this, for the process is a very
simple one.
It is of especial Importance
that corn, cotton, lespedeza and
rice seeds should be tested before
planting. and that the season for
planting is on the Southwest Lou
isiana Development Bureau would
sound a note of warning against
the planting of untested seed.
Last year a number of corn tests
were made at the State Expert
ment Station and in many cases
as much as SO per cent of the
seeds tested did not terminate.
Many farmers ignored the
warning of the experiment sta
ton about unsound seed and the
result was the corps had to be
planted over two and, in some
cases three times before stands
could be obtained. When one
reflects that there can be no sat-
isfactory yield unless the stand
is to a proper yield.
Therefore, even when the best
selected seeds are to be purchas-
ed, a guarantee of soundness
should be required in all cases
and even then it would be wise
to test them again before plant
The Prosperity Campaign Of
the Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau is progressing ia

MUST HAVE SHOCKED JUDGE
What He Regarded as "DribbIinss" Of
Hay Was All He Was Co
a. ing to Get.

A distinguished member Of the
United States judiciary has discov.
cred that he still has something to
learn In the direction of agriculture.
He bought a farm az a summer
home for his family, and finds especial
delight in walking about the place,
commenting on the condition Of the
crops, and in many ways showing his
interest In his new possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strolling yer the farm. The
hired man had cut the grass during
the day-a very thin crop-and left
It on the ground to dry. The Judge
saw 1t, and calling his man, he said:
1T seems to me you r very care
less. Why haven't you been more par.
ticular in raking up this hay? Don't
you see that you have left little drib-
blings all around?"
For a minute the hired man stared,
wondering II the Judge vas quizzing
him. Then he replied:
Little dribblings? Why, man, that's
the crop!" ..."

GERMAN M0DISTES TO
BAR STYLES or PARIS

German modistes and miliiners are
aktng advantage Of the war and the
consequent shortage OF French clothes
and fashions to further the agitation
that Is nov general for the creation
Of German vogue" in hats. dresses
ind other articles OF wearing apparel.
Berlin IL being urged as the future
fashion center" In place OF Paris,Rand
German women are asked to wear only
such clothes as have been made in Ger
many, by Germans, of German mate
Tials. Even the men are to be appealed
to to influence their wives and daugh,
ters In the right direction.
In the past, II Is declared, the public
has not properly supported the handi-
work Of German milliners. even when
they have turned out CONNECTIONS"
quite as good as those of their Partisan
sisters. Women are asked now to turn
their attention more closely to home
talent" The milliners, In their turn,
are urged to pay greater attention to
variety In styles and tastes.
The German manufacturer, II Is
claimed, will produce first class milli-
merry Just as soon as he Is assured Of a
market for 1t. Heretofore he has been
discouraged In this because the German
women have shown a preference for
French goods whenever he price was
approximately on a par with that Of
German things.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The opening up OF part Of Alaska by
railroad Is of great Importance to the Pa
cihc coast. Secretary Lane has already
approved the route for the government
line from Seward, at the head Of Resur-
rection bay, to Fairbanks. on the Tanana
river, q distance of Al miles. About 70
miles OF the road is already in existence
as the Alaska Northern line. This pri-

branches will take the Matanuska and the

to be lone will be the building of a wharf
and the deepening Of the hanne at Ship
creek, on Cooks inlet. to nable ships to
land supplies and to carry back coal when
the mines nave been opened.
It is not probable that much coal can
be got out before next year, so the Pacific
lief. Secretary Lane that the
Matanuska coal Is acceptable to the avy
and II the navy can use II, II can be
used In industrial plants as well. In a
year or two, therefore, the price OF coal
for manufacturing plants ought to fall on
the Pacific coast. A large coaling station
for the navy is likely to be established In
Alaska to supplement the station in the
Sandwich islands. The route from a
much shorter than by the way Of Homo
lulu, and the Alaskan coal merchants
ought to do a thriving trade with mer-
chant ships as we'll as with warships,
which will take the shorter route II they
can get cheap coal that way.
Cheap coal will put the Pacific coast on
the manufacturing map.
