MUCH CARE SHOULD BE ExER-
CiSEp IN PLANNING SYSTEM
OF DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Diversified farming does not mean
simply a change from one crop to an
other" says DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, Pro-
lessor Of Veterinary Science, L. s. IT,,
"But suitable diversity of crops, in
proper rotation, for the purpose of sup
plying an accessible market with the
raw materials, as cash crops like
cotton, etc., or feed crops which may
be fed to animals and marketed, through
them, as the finished article. Crops,
also, which supply fertility to the soil,
as the various legumss, such as the
clovers, peas, etc. Those, again, known
as cleaning crops requiring somewhat
intensive cultivation, such as roots of
various kinds, which may be extensive
ly used as feed crops, besides tending
to clean the land of noxious weeds, and
the like.
"A system Of diversiflcation and ro-
tation suited to the needs of the
climate, the soil, and the market, not
only keeps the land at work 1--WE have
too many idle acres), but improves soil
fertility, increases crop production, de-
creases MISREPRESENTATION, gives
more regular work for teams and labor
throughout the year, etc. Or, in other
words, more nearly balances the yearly
farming operations, and results In a
greater number of products to be dis
posed Of at different seasons of the
year"

A NEW CROP FOR LOUISIANA
TRUCK GROWERS.

The growing Of cauliflower promises
to become one Of the leading industries
among the truck growers of South
Louisiana. 1t has proved to be espe-
cially well adapted to our soil and
climate, and it natures at such time
to reach the market after the Long
Island crop is disposed of and before
the California crop comes on. Cauli.
flower thrives in a cool, moist climate
such as we have in December and Jan
uary. The batture lands along the
levee of the Mississippi river produce
caulifower Of excellent quality, and it
is in no danger from the food waters
as it is planted and harvested between
the high water seasons.
In Louisiana, the trucking farmers
have devoted most of their time and
attention to producing vegetables in
the spring and early summer. This
prompted the Experiment Station of
the Louisiana State University to seek
a fall crop that could be successfully
grown and that would find good mar
kets. Several years ago Mr.. George L.
Tiebout, Experiment Station Horticul-
turist, began planting small fields OF
caulifower to test its adaptability to
this section and to ascertain what it
would bring on the markets. The ex-
periments proved very satisfactory and
the product brought excellent prices
on the northern markets. The first
crop was marketed in the winter of
1912, and since that time many
truckers have become interested in the
industry. Shipments In car lots were
first undertaken this winter, and the
industry is now we'll established.

GROWING OF PlMlENTA PEPPERS
A NEW FEATURE OF GIRLS
CANNING CLUB WORK.

The growing and canning of Pimienta
peppers will be undertaken by many
Of the canning club girls Of the State,
as a part of their club work. Hereto
fore, their one-tenth acre plots have
been planted almost altogether to
tomatoes. The Pimienta Is sweet
pepper with very thick meat, and Is
very well adapted to canning. The
seed are furnished club members by
the United States Department of Az
riculture through the Junior Extension
Department of the Louisiana State
University. The following directions
are given for planting:
Pepper plants, particularly when
young, are very sensitive to cold and
wet, and planting should be delayed
until one can expect settled weather.
They thrive best on warm, well-drained,
sandy soil not over rich in nitrogen or
liable to harden and cake after heavy
rains.
"If planted in place the seed should
be sown in shallow drills 80 to SO inches
apart, at the rate of to 10 seeds to the
foot and covered not over one inch
deep. When the plants have 8 to 8
leaves they should be thinned and
transplanted so as to stand Is to "a
inches apart in the row and the soil
frequently stirred as long as can be
done without injury to the plants.
IF plants are to be started In beds
and transplanted care should be taken
to use coarse-grained sandy soil and
cover seed about one-half inch deep,
then water thoroughly, and shade with
paper, which must be removed before
the young plants break through the
soil. By the time the central bud ap-
pears, the plants should be thinned and
transplanted SO that each will have
from 2 to square inches or surface,
and set in the field by the time they
have 8 to welldeveloped leaves"

Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Percy expect to
move about July LIST into the "big
house" on Greenwood plantation. The
house and 270 acres surrounding it
were bought by Mrs. Percy's mother,
Mrs Fisher of New Orleans, several
weeks ago, for $4,000. Greenwood
is so large that this is but a slice off
the original estate. Mrs. B. Reed the
owner, will build a modern residence
on another part of Greenwood, facing
the L. R. & N, and just above the
home of her son, Mr.. Stevenson Reed.
The residence at Greenwood is one
of the most palatial and beautiful
houses in the parish, and has not been
one of West Feliciana's show-places
only because of it's remoteness from
the more travelled parts of the parish,
1t is pleasant to know that it passes to
other West Feliciana people, and that
it's wide halls and galleries will be en-
joyed by the third generation of Percys.
