What the Cotton Farmer Produce.

What the Cotton Farmer Produces.
The Louisiana farmer who depends on
cotton alone for a living, gets up by the
alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his
Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls,
then feeds his Kentucky mule on Iowa
corn, to pillow land under mortgage to a
Missouri loan company. Then he washes
his face in a Pennsylvania pan, using
Ohio soap, sets down to a California table
and eats Kansas City meat and biscuit
made from flour made in st. Louis, cook
ed in lard made from cotton seed in
Tennessee, and on an Illinois stove.
He works hard all day every day ex-
cept Sunday-twelve months in the year,
as it takes hard work to grow enough
cotton to pay his debts when fall comes,
as most every one OF this class of men
buy on credit.
Every night he reads a chapter in 9
Bible printed in Boston, says prayer
written in Jerusalem, crawls in bed un.
der blanket made in New York, not t.
be disturbed only by the fighting OF thu
cats and dogs, the only homegrown
products on his place. H. H. D.

Fifty Years Ago.

From the Banner of August 5, 1S65--Beflevue.
A legal advertisement from the Freed
mans Bureau of New Orleans, fixing
labor regulations, scales of wages to be
paid, etc., appeared.
"Attention is called to General Order
No. 2, to be found in another column.
Our former slave holders will have to
govern themselves accordingly" This
paragraph had reference to the above
mentioned legal advertisement.
"We call attention 20 the card of Mr..
w. A. Kelly, proprietor of the Planters
Hotel, to be found in another column. !"
William A. Kelly was the father of the
late B. A. Kelly, for SO many years
Clerk of Court for Bossier Parish, and
was highly respected and trust worthy
citizen of his day.
"Company K, 61st United States

a half-column article, the editor ex-
planned that on the morning of the Sd,
not full week later, the Banner Office
was closed by Capt. Riggs, by military
order Of Col. Foley, and a guard Of the
above named company placed over the

reads in part as follows: SIN the order

Demonstration Work

Last week travelled over the northern
portion of our parish, and found crops in
good condition. Every one will make
enough corn to last until another harvest
season and some will make surplus.
Young peas, corn and cotton need rain.
Cotton is shedding badly on some
farms. This is to some extent due to
the heavy rain of July sth.
The boil weevil has not done much
damage as yet.
The farmers made bumper peach
crop and are canning quantities for
home use. They are also canning veg
etaoles. This is easily done and all
should put up all they possibly can for
winter, as it makes living both cheaper
and better.
Now something about the dipping vat.
Mr.. N. w. Stewart {member of the
Police Jury) has under construction nine
different watts for his ward. He is hard
worker and is taking great interest in
this enterprise. The majority of farmers
are freely cooperating with him.
Our Police Jury, incorporation with
the demonstration work, will build about
forty-two watts in Bossier. We hope to
have the majority of these completed by
October list. There are also about ten
private watts in the parish, built through
the influence of demonstration work.
Farmers see great improvement in
cattle where regularly dipped. Some
who did not take very readily to the vat
are now its strongest supporters. Use of
the watts does not only get rid of the
tick but all insects that bother cattle.
We also recommend the dipping of
hogs and dogs regularly. 1t will eradi-
| cate the lice and flea and cure the
mango. For all we know, it might cure
pellagra. It's worth trying, anyway.
Yours respectfully,
| E. S. BURT, Agent.

King Cotton on the Way.

Monday afternoons mail brought to
this Office two open bolls of cotton, sent
in by Mr.. j. E. Bundy, of Linton, who
writes: 81 send you two hollis of cotton
grown by Mr.. w. H. McCaleb, he has as
high as three bolls to the stalk now
open.o
Well, this is about the season we
would expect the exhibit hollis to begin
to come in, and those sent in, the first to
reace the Office this year, are well de-
veloped and appear to be of good staple
We hope you'll have enough like them
to make twenty or thirty good bales, Mr.
McCaleb.
AS it happened, Monday evening we
made inquiry Of several friends as to the
present condition of cotton and the
prospects for that crop.
Mr.. R. E. Wyehe, one of our merch.
ants, says the plant has fast deterioratee
during the past two or three weeks and
that locally the crop will be short.
Mr.. B. G. Haygood, considered one O.
our best farmers, and who at presen
cultivates only river soil, says all hi
crops are good. He finds that cotton il
the hills is failing fast, but with him thu
plant is still growing and is fruitinl
well. He found open bolls in his field
| last week.
Mr.. R. L. Adger found his first ope1
bolls that day (Monday) and complains
that his cotton is shedding. He cult
| Yates hill soil.
Mr.. Lazarus Willer found his frs
open boil last week. He has fine corr
and his cotton continues to do well, es
pecially that that was planted late.
