GIVES RUSSIANS THE
 KEY TO ASIA MINOR
French Press Says Capture of Erze- rum Is Best Item of News for
 Allies in Many Months.

 Paris, Feb. IT, 5:05 a. m.-The G pture of the great Turkish strong hold of Erzerum by the Russians is declared by the French newspapers this morning the best item of news for the allies in many months. The military experts dwell upon the i'm portance of the capture, declaring that it gives the Russians the key to Asia Minor and is a victory which will inevitably have far reaching consequences.
 General Berthaut in the Petit Jour- nal says it is not only a deadly blow to Turkey but an event which cannot fail to have it's effect in the other theaters of the war
 Major De Civrieux says in the Natin: 'The conquest of Erzerum is of more importance than would be tfa at of any other fortress in the whole theater of war. In Asia we VIC are not faced by a strategic chess toard, ruled across by railroads and excellent routes along which fresh forces could be brought up in a few days. Erzerum was the solitary bull Wark of the Turkish Empire in Asia. Open spaces suitable for operations cn great scale now present them selves to the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia"
 President Poincare te1egraphed con- gratulations on the capture of Err zerum today to Emperor Nicholas and Grand Duke Nicholas, commander of the Russian forces on the Caucasian front.

 After the appearances of counsel had been recorded a recess was taken to discuss the plan of procedure.

Just a Word About
Selecting Seed Corn
BY T. II. CASANOVA

The outlook for bountiful har-
vest of all farm products is now
more promising than for many
years past. With fertile land, good
season and good seed, with proper
cultivation; there is no reason why
every farmer in Vermilion parish
should not have feed for his stock
and some for sale rather than buy
feed. Years ago the ridge system
of cultivation of corn was used TO
prevent the loss of corn from wet
falls. With the improved drainage
this high ridge system is getting to
be a thing of the past with the best
farmers. Proper fertilization, good
seed and shallow cultivation ar e
the three fundamental principles
of good farming that will place
Nermilion Parish among the corn
producing parishes of the state.
The first essential of successful
crop then, must depend to a great
extent on the vitality and quality
of seed planted. Home grown seeds
have proven by extensive expert
ments to be the best in all cases
provided that good variety of
seed wa, selected for original plant
ing.
At this season of the year when
the corn is beginning to turn brown
the best work of the farmer can be
directed prohtably toward the Sc
lection of good home grown seed
for next years plaaiiiIhg. As il
all seed selection the question o
bushels of yield must be the frs
prerequisite in seed selection. Usu
ally the smaller and prolific corn:
will give the greater amount o
shelled corn. A prolific variety Of
corn in the field to be good type
must have at least two good ears t.
the stalk. 1t should have those
qualities that go with high yield'
of corn: lie, uniformity, smallnes,
of cob, length of grain, well filled
out tip and but, with regular rows
of grain, with the shuck we'll ovel
the tip.
The reasons why corn should be
selected in the field, at this time
rather than in the crib, are many
In the field one sees that stalk or
which the ear that he selects, j,
borne, The stalk ought to be
strong and at a proper distance
from the other stalks in the row
If a stalk of corn is standing with
greater distance between it and

InfantiIe Paralysis

1nfantile Paralysis, though long
suspected, was not definitely shown
to be contagious until 1909. 1t
has been proven that the germ
exists in the nose and throat, and
that undoubtedly some well per-
sons are carriers" Domestic
animals, cats, dogs, etc., are clas-
sed among the agencies which may
transmit. 1t is quite probable that
the so-called "distemper" which
at times attacks horses and dogs,
is caused by this same infection.
Flies may carry on their feet.
A study of epidenics of Infantile
Paralysis does not Justify the pre-
Trsehr wide spread alarm. In every
large city, likewise in rural regions
every year few cases develop.
The affirming epidemics in the
past ten years have occurred in
New York City, Buffalo, Kansas
City, Los Angeles, and portions
of Massachusetts, Vermont, Wis
cousin, Minnesota, Iowa, and in a
certain district in Texas. Records
show that while the disease may
spread considerably in places near
where it is epidemic, that points
distant have little reason to fear.
Therefore, there is no cause for a
countrywide panic.
Infantile Paralysis is difficult to
control in the locality where it is
epidemic, because there are al
ways many mild and unrecognized
cases. When an epidemic exists
i'll any section the number Of cases
{ reported from other parts of the
country is greater, probably be-
cause attention is conferred on the
disease.
A noted authority gives TIE fol
lowing as good rules in time of
prevalence:
g (a) Keep away from ali persons
Sick with the disease, suspected of
having it, or who have recently
had it, and all persons who have
been recently in contact with the
disease. =
CD Keep away from the vicinie

&C. Keep away fro m fiji ;.
