As we were preparing to go to
press at 8 o'clock Friday after
noon, Hon. Harry D. Wilson,
commissioner of agriculture, and
Mr.. H. P. Brazeale, representa-
tive of the proposed Federal Farm
Loan Bank of New Orleans, were
getting ready to address the citi-
zens of Grant parish at the court
house on the important act of the
late Congress to establish banks
all over the country to loan money
to the farmers on long time and
small interest, taking real estate
security for the same.
Mr.. Wilson is talking SOY
beans" to the farmers, and has
samples of soy bean products,
showing the ground meal and oil
extracted from the beans. Mr..
Wilson states the oil mills can
crush the beans without chang
ing or adding to their machinery
in the least. They will yield Is
to so bushels to the acre and
bring a dollar a bushel. AS a
dairy feed there is nothing supe-
rior, and the vine is better than
pea hay for the same purpose.

Politics and Management of Good
Roads.

The Year Book of the u. S. |
Department of Agriculture sum-
marizes briefly the essentials to
successful State highway admin
istration, and calls special atten-
ton to the importance of the fol-
lowing matters:
THE elimination of politics as
factor in State highway work;
the control by the State highway
department of all work on which
State funds are expended; ade-
quate appropriations for contin-
uous maintenance of highways
under efficient supervision from
the day the highways are COM
pleted: State supervision as to
surveys, plans and specifications
of roads and bridges constructed
under bond issues and supervision
of such other road and bridge
work as requires considerable
cash outlay and the exercise of
engineering skill and know
ledge"
The first item mentioned, the
elimination of politics in road
building, is perhaps the worst
evil we have to contend with. 1t
crops out all along the line, from
the constables, magistrates and
police jurors of the various
wards, up to the parish represen-
tatives and me nj e of the legis
lature.
1t is true that we need the help
and assistance of all the men
who fill these respective positions
and it is their duty to take an &C.
tive interest in all such impor-
tant matters of public improve
ment. What we oppose and con-
denim is the deliberate and per-
sistent attempt of many pOliti-
clans to make use of this natural
ly popular proposition to build up
their political strength and ride
into power.
The State of Louisiana is COM
mitted to the building of good
roads, and while the good road
enthusiasts of the State are keyed
up to a high pitch on the subject
it is a good time to push the idea
for legislation favoring the is
suance of bonds for the building
of a permanent and lasting sys-
tenn of roads. The country press
is a unit on this proposition, and
we hope all of the constables,
magistrates, police jurors and
members of the legislature are
also favorable to the proposition,
but that no one or two men will
be given or attempt to assume
all the credit for any measures
that may be finally adopted.
Good roads and good schools,
like all other public improve
ments and progress, are simply
a business proposition, and we
hope they will be treated as such
and that politicians will be dis
couraged from riding them as
political hobbies.

TO Wind Yarn.

We all know that it Is difficult to
wind wool or yarn of any kind If
there is no one to hold the skein.
To overcome this difficulty put two
fiatirons on the table a sufficient dis

skeins.
