To Assist Farmers in the Marketing o.
Their Diversified Crops.

Several gentlemen representing the
United States Department of Agricul-
tufe were in Alexandria this week con-
fcrring with Secretary Felt of the
Chamber of Commerce. securing infor-
mation that will assist the farmers in
the marketing of their diversified crops.
The party is composed OF Mr.. c. A.
Russell and Mr.. Philip Rothrock from
the Office of Standardization; Mr.. Ma
son Snowden, of the State Farm Dem
onstration; Mr.. W. R. Putsum, of the
Livestock Extension Service; and Mr..
F. A. SWAMI. Rapides Parish Demon
stration Agent.
Mr. Russo states that the party will
be at work for two weeks in Louisiana.
looking after the interests of the farm
ers in the matter of marketing their
crops. He said that as the govern
ment had urged diversifcation and the
cutting down of the cotton acreage,
that the government considered it the
fair thing to assist in the marketing of
the diversified crops that the farmers
had been advised to plant.
Corn and oats have been planted ex-
tensively in this section. Part of the
work will be to induce the farmers to
manufacture their own products out
Of the grain raised by themselves. The

The Tangipahoa strawberry CROP.

Amite, La, May 4. The Tangipahoa
strawberry crop reached the zenith last
week when from six to eight carloads
per day were shipped by the two Amite
associationsS the average price through
out the week ranging between 81. 80
and $l.5O net per crate. A large in
crease of the fruit followed the fine
rain which fell here last Wednesday.
The size and flavor of the berry was
also highly improved.
Prices this week have dropped to
81. rs per crate, but this price is remu-
nerative, as the crop is eoualized bv
. the large increase of production. Ship
ments will last about ten DAYS longer.
as Tennessee berries will flood the
northern markets next week. From a
financial viewpoint this crop has been
the most successful in many seasons.
The truck fields throughout the par
ish have improved hundred per cent
since the drought was broken. Young
plants, such as tomatoes, pepper, egg
plant, lettice, squash and other truck
have taken on vigorous growth and the
complexion of the early truck ship
ment OF cabbage. carrots, radishes and
shellots has been greatly facilitated.
The farmers have accomplished a
considerable amount of planting since
the rain. Diversification seems to have
been the motto generally adopted by
Tangipahoa planters. Indications are
that the cotton acreage will be only
slightly increased, while there will be
q tremendous increase in the corn,
sugar cane, pea and soy bean acreage.
Many farmers are doubling their pea
nut and potato acreage, as last year
Both these crops proved highly remu-
i1erative.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By X. H. Benton, Jr.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH
CORN CULTIVATION.

Generally speaking, corn has gotten
very good start al. over the parish
and our yields depend now almost en-
tirely on the kind of cultivation used.
But first word about thinning. We
certainly cannot make large yield if
we do not have stalks enough to pro-
duce it. On the other hand it is easy
70 leave too many stalks which Will
cut our yield. If our rows ar. four
feet wide and we leave the corn thirty
inches apart in the drill that gives us
4ot0 plants on an acre. Allowing one
give US forty bushels of corn to the
acre. Rows five feet wide and three
feet in the drill gives Us 2e40 plants
per acre, enough TO produce rs bushels
The first regular cultivation may be
deep and thorough. After this, all
civilizations should be shallow, at inter-
walls of from seven to ten days. The
ground should. be stirred as soon after
each rain as it is dry enough. A good
dust mulch must be maintained until
the corn crop is made. In this section
where the rainfall is comparatively
heavy, it should not be deeper than
two inches. The depth ought to be es-
tablished early and never deepened af-
forwards for fear of cutting roots and
injuring the crop. The mulch should
extend as nearly over the entire row
as possible. Experience has demon
strated that late cultivation pays.
For the deep cultivation perhaps the
best implement is Georgia stock or
bull tongue with wide round shovel
on it. For establishing and maintain
ing the mulch, we should use either a
spring tooth harrow, also called a Gee
Whiz, fourteen-tooth orchard har-
row or Planet Junior cultivator
After the mulch has been established,
if it rains, another crust is formed, and
we should break that as soon a. dry.
If it does not rain, that mulch will be-
come moist in about seven to ten days
and we should stir it again anyway.
When it quits raining. don't quit plow-
ing. That is the time to plow all the
harder

Kidney Trouble Causes
Intense Suffering

Sixteen years ago was taken sick
with kidney trouble and suffered terri
bly, for three months. / did not work
during this time and was mostly con-
fined to the bed. After using other
remedies ! finally tried q bottle of
Swamp Root. Immediately began to
feel better, and after using seven fifty
cent bottles, was entirely cured and
have had no kidney trouble since. l
can truly say that owe my good health
to Swamp Root. You may publish this
letter for the benefit of other people
afflicted as / was with the hope Of
bringing to their attention this most
wonderful remedy.

Special Session of Legislature Called.

Gov. Hall issued his official proclama-
ton Tuesday morning, May 4, calling
the legislature to convene in special
session Monday, May II, at " O'Clock
noon, for period not TO exceed thirty
days.
Thirty three separate topics OF legis-
laticl are proposed for the considers
ton OF the general assembly, the more
important being State finances, the
question OF calling constitutional con-
VENT IN, anti trust legislation, the pro-
lection of party primaries, the prohi-
bi-ion of an improper use of money in
elections, and more stringent laws in
suppression OF 'blind tigers" and the
regulation of liquor traffic in dry par
ishes
There is every likelihood that our
legislators will have their hahds foil
for the entire thirty days, and it is
quite probable that they cannot get
through in the allotted time. Several
of the matters to be acted upon will
precipitate a great deal of discussion,
and can easily be made to take up the
entire time of the session. Already
we see signs of the diversity of opinion
that may be expected on various ques-
tons. in the lively discussion as to
whether the constitutional convention
shall be held before or after the State
primary elections.
