BOOKLET OF INFORMATION PUB
LISHED BY LOUISIANA CORN
GROWERS ASSOCIATION.

The Louisiana Corn Growers Asso-
citation, of which Prof. A. F. Kidder, Of
the Department of Agronomy, L. s. u,
is secretary-treasurer, has recently pub
lished very interesting and instruc-
tive booklet, entitled "Corn," the pur-
pose of which is to furnish helpful
information to the corn growers of
Louisiana. Photographs and descrip-
tons are given of varieties of corn
that are known to be high yielding.
The value of good seed and methods
of making tests for germinative quail
ties, cultivating and harvesting are
discussed. Methods of combating in
sect pests, rules for grading corn, pre-
pairing it for exhibition and an explana-
ton of the corn score card are included.
The Corn Growers Association was
organized in 1909, at the call of Pro-
lessor w. r. Dodson, for the purpose
of improving the yield and quality Of
corn in the State. Ear-to-row breeding
plots are conducted by the members,
under the supervision of Professor
Kidder, and good results have been
obtained from such practice.

BIRDS DESTROY CERTAIN INSECTS
AND WEED SEEDS AND ARE
USEFUL TO THE FARMER.

How birds which destroy harmful
insects and weed seeds may be useful
to the farmer is described in a new
Farmers Bulletin (No. 630) of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture en-
titled, "Some Common Birds Useful to
the Farmer"
Whether a bird is beneficial or in
furious depends almost entirely on
what it eats, says the new bulletin. In
the case of species which are very
abundant, or which feed to some ex-
tent on the crops of the farmer, the
question of their average diet becomes
one Of supreme Importance, and only
by stomach examination can it be salts
factorily solved. Field observations
are at best but fragmentary and incon-
elusive and lead to no final results
Birds are often accused of eating this
or that product of cultivation, when an
examination of the stomach shows the
accusation to be unfounded.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind Of food that is most accessible,
especially when their natural food is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some
times injure the crops Of the farmer
who has Internationally destroyed
their natural food in his improvement
Of swamp or pasture. Most of the
damage done by birds and complained
| OF by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause. The berry-bear-
| ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds have
been cleared away, and the birds have
no recourse but to attack the cultivated
grain or fruit which have replaced
their natural food supply. The great
majority of land birds subsist upon
insects during the period of nesting
and moulting, and also feed their young
upon them during the first few weeks.
Many species live almost entirely upon
insects, taking vegetable food only
when other subsistence fails 1t is thus
evident that In the course of year
birds destroy an incalculable number
Of insects, and it is difficult to over
estimate the value of their services in
restraining the great tide of insect
life.

HUMANE DEATH PENALTIES.

(Memphis Commercial Appeal.)
Most states are substituting the cleo
trio chair for the gallows. The reason
for this is that electrocution is said to
afford a humane death. This is the
absurdity of reason. Can any death
sentence be humane? 1t is the refine
ment of cruelty. Physicians and ennis
saries of the law will watch a con-
demned man with the close attention
that mother watches a baby. They
fear for the state that he may kill him.
self. IL he is severely wounded they
do not, humanely, let him die. They
nurse him carefully back to life In
order that he may be legally hanged or
electrocuted. Here Is an evidence of
Christian humanity. The law says he
must die and he must die according to
the law. The will of nature is set aside.
The question has been more than
once raised as to whether the process
|of electrocution is more merciful than
the old-fashioned. gallows. There is
little difference. The great suffering
of the condemned is not when he falls
from the trap or when the electric
current speeds through his body. 1t Is
the torture, the suffering, the humilia-
ton, the bitter pain of conscience that
constitute real suffering.

TAKING THE PRACTICAL COURSE
(Richland Democracy

Rayville will be one of the towns of
Louisiana to go on record of fighting
the high cost of living in the right
manner. Practically every home In
town has started work on the garden.
Instead Of the few rows planted here
tofore we cannot help but notice that
every foot of available garden spot is
being planted. This Is the right idea
and If we will only cultivate what has
or will be planted we will come out OF
the year Of 1915 with a good cash sum
on the right side of the book.

DlvERsIFIcArIoN OF CROPS.

to farm operations is generally mis-
understood and badly overworked The
general idea of diversification is that
it means the attempted raising Of many
crops without any definite plan or sys-
tenn, and with no thought of labor, soil
or market conditions. The word should
be used In contradistinction to the
one-crop system.
The one-crop system has been both
an economic and an agricultural fail
ure wherever tried. This applies to
trucking as well as general farming.
True diversifcation means the grow
ing Of two or more standard crops best
adapted to soil, climate, financial and
labor conditions combined with the
raising of some live stock. The trucker
should plant two or more standard
vegetable crops in the spring for his
main cash income. Small areas can be
planted safely in high-priced fancy
vegetables. The fall crops should be
planted along the same conservative
lines, closely following the old proverb:
"Not to put all your eggs in one
basket"
In general farming, diversification
should be limited to a few crops that
are known to be peculiarly adapted to
that section and even to the farm un-
der consideration. Such crops should
be grown as will best fit in with the
size of the farm, the amount of teams
and labor available, the capital of the
farmer, or the financial standing of the
farmer, and market conditions. The
best diversification would mean the
growing of crops that would meet the
conditions enumerated above; and at
the same time, lend themselves to the
working out Of system Of crop rota-
ton. Through proper rotation of
crops we gain the following important
advantages: !. A large number Of
crops grown on the same area In a
limited time. 2. Crops growing on the
land at all times. 3. A balanced crop
production with increasingly larger
yields leading to live stock raising
1. And greatest of all, rapidly increas-
ing fertility and productiveness of the
soil.
In the Red River Valley, good d.
versity of crops that could be put into
proper rotation would be Bermuda or
alfalfa for hay, corn and oats for grain
and forage, cowpeas in corn and fol-
lowing oats for soil improvement and
pasturage and seed, and cotton for the
main cash crop. Live stock could be
made to fit in very we'll with these
crops.
In the hill section of North Louisi-
ana, the following crops could be so ar
ranged as to fulfill all the requirements
of good farming: corn with peas, oats
followed by peas, soy beans or peanuts
and sweet potatoes for hogs, crimson
clover or burr clover for winter crops
and winter pasturage, cotton for a
ready cash crop.
In the Mississippi River, the Florida
and the prairie parishes the growing
Of corn, cowpeas or velvet beans, oats,
vetches or clover, especially lespedeza,
with cotton, cane or rice as the main
cash crop can be made profitable, and
at the same time a good system Of
rotation put into operation.
These are only suggestions and
should be used only after careful plan
ming and investigation. Your State
University and the U. s. Department
of Agriculture working in cooperation
are ready to serve on request.
