Dad and Sis.

BY Dad we mean all the daddies.
BY Sis we mean all the girls.
Dad and Sis ought to be friends-not
merely father and daughter-but chums.
Dad is a good fellow. Of all the
lovers that Sis has none loves her bet
ter than Dad. None has done so much
for her, or is willing to do more for her
than Dad.
Down in the bottom of Dads heart
there is picture of the girl he courted
when he was young man. That pic
ture is of Mother, and Sis probably
looks q great deal like Mother used to
look, SO Dad can't help but love Sis.
Dad is the fellow who brings home
the bacon. Dad is the man who prays
and hopes for good luck and health to
the end, SO that he can take care OF
Mother and Sis.
Down in the bottom of Sisters heart
there is the picture of her ideal hus-
band and very often he looks and acts
like Dad.
So Sis ought to get better acquainted
with Dad.
Dad and Sis ought to clasp hands and
face the world together.
Dad knows many things that Sis
ought to know, especially about young
men.
Sis can make many of Dads hard
days easier by being his chum.
If boys best friend is his mother,
girls best friend is her father. Sc

Some Crops to be Planted in June and
July.

Some Crops to be Planted in June and
July.
The following are some of the crops
that can be planted during the month
of June or early July with the expecta-
ton of securing satisfactory results:
Spanish peanuts may be planted up
to the first of July and make good
crop. They are especially desirable
where hogs can be allowed to harvest
them.
Soy beans, preferably the Mammoth
Yellow, may be planted any time from
June to the latter part of July and util-
lied for forage or for a grain crop.
They should be planted in rows as close
together as cultivation will permit and
cultivated two or three times. Most
soils are naturally inoculated for soy
beans. 1t takes approximately half g
bushel of seed per acre. 1t may take
a little more if the rows are less thar
three feet apart, or little less if the
rows are more than three feet apart.
They should be drilled so that the stalks
will be two to four inches apart in the
drill.
Probably the catch crop that requires
less time for maturity is German mil
let. Harvest may be made ordinarily
in sixty to sixty-five days from time OF
planting. The quality of hay is fairly
good if cut before the seed are fully
mature, and the yield is good on good
land, but the draft on the soil is pretty
heavy.
Almost any of the sorghums may be
planted up to the first of July, and va
rieties such as the Early Amber, Early
Orange and Coleman may be planted
considerably later. When planted il
midsummer they will approximately
mature in sixty-five to seventy days
Sorghum can only be used to advant
age, however, for soiling or for max
ing silage.
Practically every one is familiar will
cow peas. The New Era is one of the
very best varieties for late planting
it can be planted up to the first of Au
gust and make a pretty good crop O.
both seed and hay. w. r. Dodson, Di

the longer we putt off the great
er the losses of the stockgrowers
will be. Calcasieu has for years
led the State in cattle growing,
but she cannot continue to lead,
from a standpoint of financial re-
turns, unless she adopts progress
sive ideas. Many of our farmers
are dipping their cattle, but as
long as one stockgrower prefers
to raise ticks instead of fine cat
tie, this will not be tick-free ter
ritory and the price of all cattle
marketed will be affected unfa-
vorably thereby. The American
Press believes the farmers and

ready for compulsory dipping

in other Institutions He is in
terested largely in sawmilling
and agricultural enterprises, in
the Bank of Colfax, stock raising,
farming. etc., besides other en-
terprises in Colfax and vicinity.
In these various experiences he
has accumulated a fund of know
ledge that would be Of undoubt-
ed use in the framing of a con-
stitution that is to have a direct
bearing on the different subjects
with which he is familiar. He
has large circle of friends that
will extend him their heartiest
support for the important posi-
ton for which he is offering.
