WORLDS LARGEST LEMON
CROWN NEAR B0GlUUsA

While NJ. E. Edwards. Of the
Franklinton neighborhood, is not
trying to hand anybody a lemon
to him undoubtedly belongs the
distinction Of growing the worlds
record fruit Of this kind. as to size.
MT. Edwards brought to Mayor
Sullivan's Office yesterday bis prize
lemon. 1t measured 5 inches in
length by 10 inches in diameter,
and he stated there were eleven
more like it on this one tree. which
is only three years old. Last year
this tree bore four lemons. but none
so large as the one he brought to
the Mayor.
Mayor Sullivan thanked Mr.. Ed.
wards and complimented him on
his ability to produce such magni6.
cent fruit. Hardly anyone, even in
Louisiana and Washington Parish
would think at first HAND that our
State and Parish can grow better
and larger fruit Of this kind then
California Or Florida: but the result
speaks for itself and shows that
all it requires for the lands Of this
section to bring forth the richest
products of many kinds is intelli.
gent cultivation and industry.

.H, 4. WILCOX To REMAIN.
COMMISSIONER Of EDUCATION

II. H. Wilcox, who has served as
Commissioner Of Education since
the incorporation Of Bogalusa as a
city and who several weeks ago
rendered his resignation will not re.
sign bis post. Mr. Wilcox was in,
duced to reconsider the resignation
and the announcement that he will
remain will be hailed with delight
by the parents and patrons Of the
Boealusa Schools. The great
strides the city schools have made
during the past two years was due
in no small measure to the work Of
Commissioner Wilcox. Bogalusa
schools now rank with the best in
the state and by the end Of his
term it is expected that Bogalusa
schools will be the best.

THE BUSINESS OF EARNING.

The Iowa banker whose books
show that he makes 40 per cent from
his farm and 20 per cent from his
bank, in annual earnings, certainly is
of business concern than is his
bank, says the Mitchell Republican.
Indeed, there is reason to say that it
is more of business enterprise. This
is true because the banking business
is comparatively simple when con-
pared with the farm For the farm
is capable of the production of all
sorts of by-products and the farming
itself consists of so many processes
and is affected by so many elements
calling for good business judgment
and enlightened understanding that
it may be easily understood that the
farm is more difficult business en-
terprise than is the bank. Further,
the fact that in Europe the land is
made to produce many times as much
per acre in income as it does in the
United States shows that the farmer
has in his possession hidden resour-
ces and possibilities of which he is
even yet hardly aware. There is no
limit to the development that. may
be brought about in the farming in
dustry and it will give employment
and rich reward for all the attention
and interest and study that the farm
er can bring to bear upon it. .,
Time was when the trend was from
the farm to the city because it was
believed that the city offered more of
advantages. Now it is the other way.
Not only is the country home far
more desirable and attractive than
the town home-possessing as it
does all the modern conveniences de-
sired-but the farm offers the most
fruitful field for endeavor on the
part of the most capable of men,
young and old. NJ

A ROOF ON THE ROAD.
IL a Roof Were Put Over Our COun-
try Roads 1t Would Keep the
Water OF.

A correspondent of an eastern agri-
cultural paper suggests that, mas
much as it is water which makes bad
roads, the easy way to have good
roads is to put a roof over them.
There is this to be said for his sug-
gestipa, that if roof were put over
cur. country roads, it would not only
keep water off of it, but would give
us a nice, shady drive during the six
months of the year when we would
appreciate it. The trouble is that
the cost of putting up such roof as
he has in mind, and maintaining it,,
would far exceed the cost of making
a really first-class hard-surfaced
road, which would need no roof. "a
The easy way to put a roof over
the dirt road is to keep it properly
dragged after it has been drained and
graded. Water is the most accom-
thing in the world. 1t VIII
run off if you will give it half a
chance. d. Ward King, the apostle
of the split-log drag, put the requis-
ties of the good road into three
words: Hard, oval, smooth. That is
all there is to a good road.
Our problem is the corn belt is to
get that kind of a road without pay
ing more than it is worth to us. We
can not have hard, oval and smooth
dirt road if we continue our stupid
practice of piling up in the middle a
mass of unpacked fresh dirt and sod.
Last week we saw a very good road
ruined by filling the center with fresh
sod from the sides. That should be
made a criminal offense. The sod
holds the water just where we do not
want it, and just where it will do the
most damage. 1t should be thrown to
one side, and nothing but clear dirt
put on the road bed, and this should
be packed firmly as soon as put on.
The more grass roots and sod on the
road, the harder to make it good
road.
Gradually, hard-surfaced road

WHEN CREAM Is READY.
Three Simple Tests to Apply to the
Churning.

Taste, appearance and texture
these are the three tests to apply to
cream to ascertain when it is ready
for 'churning, according to one au-
thority. 1 hEsl
Ripe cream should taste slightly
acid, enough to give clearly defined
acid taste, but not what one would
call sour. 1t takes practice to deter
mine the amount of acidity the cream
should have, but one can soon tell.
1t should have smooth, velvety,
shiny, slick appearance This con-
dition comes just before the cream
begins to thicken. If you push q
paddle or spoon handle through this
cream it will form wrinkles ahead OF
the instrument.
When the cream is ready to churn
If you pour a dipperful of it back in
to the vessel, it will cut a smooth
hole in the body of the cream, it will
act like oil Or molasses and will moi
spatter.
Experienced buttermakers fine
that all of these conditions appear
about the same time. But the ties
for texture, as the pouring the cream
back, seems to come slightly befor,
the others. The taste is one of tn,
most reliable tests, it is found.

ABOUT IOWA'S POPULATION.
Eighty-Five Per Cent of the Resi-
dents Are American Born.

A million persons born in Iowa are
now living in other states, according
to Ora Williams, state document edi-
tor of the census. But there are over
a million and half Iowa born peo-
pie who are contributing their genius
and strength to make their native
state not the biggest nor the wealth
lest, but the best state in which to
make and keep home.
The actual number of Iowa born
persons in Iowa is 1,551,914 That is
more than three-fifths of the total
population. IT is larger percentage
of the population than ever before.
The increase of percentage has been
twelve in ten years.
The native American population of
the state, distinguished from those
born under other flags, numbers 2,
093,9S7. Practically three-fourths of
these native Americans are Iowa born
and one-fourth born in other states
of the union The native born now
number 8SS per cent of the entire
population.
The foreign born comprises lis
percent of the whole. That is 81 per
cent less than the proportion in the
United States. Twenty-Five years ago
the Iowa proportion was 1919 per
cent. From earliest times Iowa drew
heavily on the cider states, and it
was never possible for the foreign
born contingent to catch up with the
procession. There is no corner, nor
section nor belt of Iowa distinctly
foreign.
Outside of the south the only
states in the union with smaller
proportion of foreign born than Iowa
are Indiana, Kansas and Missouri. If
place of birth is the test Iowa is
among the most American of all
states.
