1. Who the Man Was That Made
500 Per Acre on Tomatoes:
This man was Mr.. Golfer, whose
name was given at the time, or at
least his little girls name. who be-
longed to the Tomato Club, The
article did not say that 500 was
made on one sore. but the plot made
at the rate Of 500 per acre. The
little girl made or cultivated one
tenth acre plot and $65 worth of to-
matoes was sold in Covington and
Abita. With what was used at home
and given to -neighbors they figured
that Ut least IS moro could have been
SOLD. which would have made at the
rate of 800 per acre. would not
doubt, Mr.. Pharmer, but that you
bought some Of these same tomatoes,
and II you did, in the stores Of Gov
ington or Abita, you paid IS cents
to 80 cents q dozen for them, for Mr..
Cofner sold them at good price and
was making money as we directed,
while you were trying to catch some
body in . mlsstAtement. Write to
Mr.. Golfer, who now lives at Folsom,
about the above facts.
Mr.. Pharmer seems willing to ad-
init that .sthere are q few farmers
outside Of Covington who are not
jack asseg." / VIVA 60 Mr.. Pharmer
one better on this proposition.
There are q great many farmers out
side Of CoYington who are not jack
asses, and who tingly sign
their names to all communications.
1t has been q pleasure to me to meet
them and to receive their co-opera-
ton in my labors for the betterment
Of farm conditions in the parish.

100000 NEGROES READY TO
FIGHT
Especial to The Blade.)

Tuskegee, Ala, June 2S When in
formed by an Associated Press rep
resentative today of the killing of IL
Negro soldiers, Emmett J.. Scott Sec
retary of the Tuskegee Institute,
called attention TO the fact that Is
years ago when war was declared
with Spain that the late Booker T.
Washington, Principal of Tuskegee
Institute, called upon the Negro peo-
pie of the United States, and partic-
ularly upon Tuskegee graduates and
former students, to volunteer for SER
vice in defense of their country.
Hundreds of Negroes followed this
advice. Secretary Scott states that
there are dozen or more TuSkegee
graduates and former students in
Mexico now as members of the vari-
Gus colored regiments. Negroes" q"
he states, will rally to the defense
of their country now as they have al
ways done. As the first American
soldier to lose his life in Mexico,
March "a of this year, was a Negro,
so the first man killed in the Revo-
lutionary War was a Negro. The
Negro people take pride in the fact
that it was the charge of Negro
troops at San Juan Hill in the Span
ishAmerican War that turned the
tide there, and that Negroes have
fought bravely in every war in which
this country has engaged. The Ne
gro was with Jackson at New Or
leans, with Perry on Lake Erie, and
10000 Negro soldiers served in the
Civil War.
The Negroes of this country" he
states, will be no less patriotic at
this time than in former periods of
stress and storm The Negro pos
sesses a patriotism that rises above
injustices and wrongs He is Amer
lean through and through. The
Negro has never faltered in defense
of his country; he will not falter
now. If President Wilson desires to
employ sturdy Negroes to defend the
flag, he can be assured that hun
dred thousand and more are at his
disposal"
