Gentlemen:
Replying to yours of the 18th inst,
would say that submergence alone will
not destroy lespedeza seeds at this time
of the year. Someof them may be washed
away, but where the seeds have been
shattered from a maturing crop of last
year, it is entirely likely that there will
be sufficient quantity of seed covered by
the surface soil or lodged in the weeds
and grass to make good stand OF lespe
deza when the waters recede and the
weather becomes warm. At this time o.
the year large per cent of the lespedezs
seed would not terminate even though
they had sufficient moisture and warmth
and this 80 called "hard seed' will no
have terminated by being soaked il
water. If you have any lespedeza field
Just sown, it is likely that the water ma!
carry away sufficient quantity OF tn
seeds to destroy your stand, but thinl
you are entirely justified in taking tn
risk of getting good stand on last yea
stubble after the overflow water has re
ceded, presuming, of course, that the lam
will be free of water in April or earl.
May. know of some very excellent ha
crops harvested in the fall Of 1912 iron
Hand that was submerged during tn
greater portion of the period of Overflow
OF that season.
i Yours very respectfully,

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chin Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound OF imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by CatarrL. which Is
nothing but infamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

Interest in the motion picture world
this week centers about New 0rieans
-Pieayune announcement that 1t 's
in search of fifteen Southern girls and
women for big film production. The
Crescent City newspaper is going to pro-
mote a big feature picture in order to give
girls and women an opportunity til
launch out on motion picture career.
The Timee- Picayune picture is To r
made in New Orleans and the fift-'n
women selected will assemble there aud
get their initial training under the direc-
ton of highly paid experts. A preten-
lions production will be staged and the
film will be sent all over the country.
Picture producers say The Times P'ca-
vune has hit upon the only way to gei
material to-day for motion picture sta'a.
New faces are constantly demanded 'y
the public and even the m'@t successfn
film stars must retire frequently for shot
periods.

much sought after by the motion p'ctn'
men. The drawback has been that TIE
producers have never been able to brig
to some central point for try-out enough
prospective actresses. They have be- f"
going at it in haphazard way.
Now The Tirnes- Picayune comes along
with the only practical way OF reaching
wide territory and bringing forward TIE
available material. Every girl or womsn
in this vicinity who dreams OF future in
the motion picture field has an oppor'
tunity now of demonstrating her abili'!
: and the assurance is added that she vii

bon, whose memory he worshiPed, and
of telling them stories of his adventures
with the great naturalist. One OF the
treasures of the family to-day liz portrait
on ivory of the young friend of Audubon,
grown to manhood, and with his own
little rosy-cheeked boy beside him-the
DIR. L. A. Wales of to-day, the noted
scientist and linguist.
In the course Of the years, says DR..
WALES, the Audubon picture disappeared
and no one could account for it. At last
the family concluded that it: had been
destroyed in fire which burned out the
home at Waterproof, La, and with grief
it was given mp altogether.
Not long since it returned, most unex-
pectedly, and was welcomed with joy.
The niece who sent it wrote: II found
the Audubon picture in the old Coving-
ton Bible"

of Audubon, married the daughter OF
Major General Leonard Covington, who
was killed in Canada during the war Of
1912.

On one of the smooth slopes OF Audi
hon Park stands statue which the child
rem love, and upon which every visitor
pazes with veneration. 1t is the statue
of a genius-everyone knows that; man
who fitted into and out OF New Orleans
again and again; a man who threaded
the forests and waded the swamps OF
Louisiana; and in those wanderings gave
to fieet-winged creatures of the solitudes
an abiding place and name in the
hearts of men.
His name was John James Audubon.
He was never a successful man, this
Audubon-as the world counts success.
He was always accounted failure, ex-
cept by those who loved him best and
admired him most; and perhaps it took
a good deal of love and admiration to rec
onciie the public as to this genius OF the
forests, who could never make money,
and who could do still less toward keep
ing it.
1t is part of the bitter irony OF fate,
now, that this wonderful man, the most
pathetic figure in history, should have
his statue in the parks, and his books
commanding fabulous prices. 1t would
have meant so much if he have conn.,
manded such tribute as this during his
narrowed and anxious life.
An Audubon souvenir has come to light
i'm New Orleans during the past few
! weeks which will be appreciated by th'
lovers Of the great ornithologist, especial
, " as it belongs to one Of those period
when the lover of birds was spending
