GRANT PARISH A PIONEER IN
SPECIAL TAKES FOR GOOD
ROADS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The people Of Grant, compara-
lively small parish can we'll afford to
smile over the bombastic claims that
are made by some of the folks in the
larger parishes about the taxes they
are voting for schools and good
roads" said Editor H. G. Goodwin
of the Colfax Chronicle. Eight
years ago" he continues" during
Governor Sanders term, Grant Par
ish voted special mill tax for
five years for building roads and
within the last two years all the
wards Of the parish have voted eth
er for bond issues or another five.
mill tax for five years for The same
purpose.
"In the matter of special taxes
for schools the parish is also we'll up
with the procession. Many of the
school dictricts have been 1oting
special taxes for fifteen of sixteen
years. Some of the districts are at
this time paying Is or 20 mills taxes
for the benefit of their scholls.
"To show great interest our peo-
pie take in schools we call attention
to the fact that on Tuesday of this
week nine elections were held and
every one of them carried by a good
majority. Dry Prong district, in
particular distinguished itself. In this
district the voters carried a main
tenance tax of 10 mills for two years
and bond issue for $1,000 to build
and equip school,"
Bully for Grant Parish! The peo-
pie of this state, especially those who
are good road boosters are entirely
too generous and only too glad 70 see
the fine work being done, 10 deny
credit to so splendid pioneer.
While Calcasieu may be the banner
good road parish of Louisiana, Grant
is certainly entitled to own a blue
ribbon. Are there y other claim
ants for the honor? There, can't be
too many.

WHERE FERNS COME FROM

An answer to the inquiry some
times made as to where all the ferns
sold by the florists Of the country
come from, is indicated by the busi-
ness of one company operating in
the East, which regularly employ
during the season more than 200
men for gathering the ferns, and
which handles annually something
like 5O,OOO,O00 ferns.
Ferns, unlike most Of the plants
handled by florists, grow wild and
are seldom cultivated artificially on
a large scale. For this reason the
work of gathering them from the
moist and shaded forest lands forms
one of the important features of the
business Of supplying the market.
The actual work of gathering is not
SO attractive as it would seem in
view Of this condition.
Each picket is equipped with a
basket large enough to hold 5000
ferns, and it is his purpose to fill
this basket and turn it in to the
packing station twice each day. The
basket with its contents weighs
about forty pounds, and it must be
carried on the shoulders of the pick
er over rough mountain paths, usual
| ly for a distance of several miles.
In gathering the ferns the picker
breaks them off near the ground and
counts and ties them into bundles,
each containing 100. At the pack
ing station they are packed into
; boxes holding from 5000 to 5000,
i and then shipped by express to a
.. storage warehouse in which a tenn
perature of % degrees is maintained.
AS needed they are taken from the
warehouse, stored, repacked, and
Immediately shipped to florists in
various cities.

NOVEMBER TEMPERATURES
PREVENT SUCROSE IN CANE

'"The temperatures during most of
last week." says the Louisiana Plant
er, on its resume of the cane crop,
"has been unseasonably high, and
has prevented the increase of sue
rose in the canes that is ordinarily
expected throughout early Novcr1-
ber."
While complaints are more or less
prevalent concerning the warm
weather planters seem to be in gen.
eral philosophical enough to reflect
that the summer-like' weather has
been at least preferable to a killing
freeze.

THE MAN WHO FILMED
"ROMEO AND JULIET

John Winthrop Noble, who super
yised and directed the pretentious
screen masterpiece, "Romeo and
Juliet" in which Francis x. Bush
man and Beverly Bayne are starred,
now ranks with the foremost direc-
tors of the world. Students of Shake
speare and the drama and the fore
most critics in the country have de-
clared his production of "Romeo and
Juliet" the most artistic .interpreta-
ton of the immortal love story ever
presented. Mf. Noble has set a
standard that will undoubtedly
stand for many years in the realm of
the silent art.
Mr.. Noble was one of the first dir
ectors employed by the Metro PIC
lures Corporation. Among some OF
the features he has produced are
ssThe Wall Between" and "Man and
His Soul" with Mr.. Bushman and
Miss Bayne; William Faversham in
Zone Million Dollars" and The
Right of Way; "The Bridge; or the
Bigger Man.; Grace Ellison and
Grace Valentine in "Black Bear y
and other big successes.
Mr.. Noble was born and reared in
the mountains of Kentucky. As a
young man he entered West Point
and later entered the army. His mill
tary training there has stood him in
good stead as a director, for he is a
wizard in handling big scenes where
many people appear, as they do in
"Romeo and Juliet" AS Lieutenant
Noble, he fought through the Span
ish-American war, and was wounded
several times in the Philippines. He
saw service in Cuba and was in
China with the American troops dur
ing the Boxer uprising.
After the war Mr.. Noble drifted
to Denver, where he obtained posi-
ton with a stock company. Ever
since he had been boy ne had want
ed to go on the stage, and this was
his first opportunity. He was always
talented in that direction and he had
little difficulty in making good.
Soon afterward he wrote several
vaudeville sketches, and he was star
red in one Of them on the "big
time" circuit. Mr.. Mobiles first work
in motion pictures was with the
Thanhouser company, playing lead
ing roles. From Thanhouser he went
to the Mutual, where he gained an
international reputation directing
the famous series, "Our. Mutual
Girl" This series ran for an entire
year, a record at that time.

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OIL
In Getting Farm Machinery Ready for
Work Look Carefully to Lubriea-
ton Of Wearing Parts.

In getting the machinery ready for
farm operations, Prof. II. G. Ram
sower of the agricultural engineering
department Ohio State university,
urges that special attention be given
to the fabrication of all wearing parts.
"a full oil can to every machine" is
the way he states 1t. Especially on
new machinery and the farm tractor
does the use of oil become important.
Make sure that all oil holes, well,
pumps, grease cups and bearings arc
thoroughly cleaned Of dirt. grit, paint,
and foreign matter before the holes
are filed, so that waste matter can
not be carried into the bearings. Clean
wool or cotton placed in cups win
keep out sand and grit. 1t is a good
practice to use mixture of equal
parts machine oil and kerosene in the
bearings for the first few hours Of OPP
Grafton Of a tractor.

CONCRETE KEEPS AWAY RATS
Rodents Not Only Steal Grain, but Free
quentIy Acquire Taste for Chicks
and Eggs.

Rats are among the worst pests
about the poultry house. They not
only steal a large amount of grain,
but frequently develop a taste for
young chicks and eggs which seems
to be Unsuitable. A well-made con-
crete floor and foundation makes an
almost perfect protection against rats.
A concrete floor itself is not sufficient,
for the rats may burrow under 1t and
thus find a perfectly protected breed
ing place.
A concrete foundation for poultry
houses need not be heavy or expen-
sive, If properly made. A trench may
be dug below the frost line and forms
set up six inches apart. A mixture Of
one part portland cement, three parts
sand and six parts gravel will prove
plenty strong enough for this pur-
pose.
After 1t is we'll set forms can be
removed, the floor leveled up and COW
cred with concrete three inches deep,
mixed In the same proportions. The
floor can be made smooth and level by
a straight edge board. Frequently
finishing coat of three-quarters of an
inch is put on Of richer mixture and
trOweled to smooth finish. Beginning
the day after the floor is laid it should
be sprinkled two or three times daily
for week SO as to prevent the con-
crete from drying out too rapidly and
cracking.

HARMFUL CHINCH BUG
Evident That Pest Is Threatening
Next Years Crop.
One Plan Of Eradication Is to Burn
over Fields, Woods and Other Fa-
VorabIe Winter Quarters
Heat Will Kill Many.
Csy L. HAsEMAN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)

CSy L. HASEMAN, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
Judging from the numerous COM
plants being received by the Missouri
agricultural experiment station, 1t
seems evident that the chinch bug is
threatening next years crops. Over
the state generally the chinch bugs
day was brought to a close by the
heavy rains of 1915, but as usual, there
were enough "tor seed" this last
spring, and with the unusually dry
summer just passed these increased
abundantly.
They seem to be most abundant In
the central part of the state. Through
out most of the corn and wheat belts
of the state there are probably enough
bugs to cause severe outbreaks next
year, If weather conditions should be
especially favorable for them. A
dry fall, mild winter, with but little
snow and rain, followed by a dry
spring and summer are the conditions
which will favor the pest. The chinch
bug is abundant now, due to the favor
able summer just passed, but with
plenty Of rainfall and snow during the
fall, winter, and spring, the chances
will be decidedly against outbreaks
next summer.
Since 1t Is not possible to know what
the fall, winter, and spring may have
in store In the way of favorable or
unfavorable weather, every farmer
should do everything possible to re-
duce the chance of chinch-bug in
juries next summer by getting rid of
favorable winter quarters. They winter
in dry, protected places, such as mead
ows, pastures, and waste lands, in
woods, neglected fence rows, and sim
liar places. Very few winter in corn
fields or In wheat fields. After killing
frOsts have come, select a dry day
when there is not too much wind and
burn over fields, woods, and other ia
vOrable winter quarters The heat
will kill many of the bugs and expose
the rest to the winter and to natural
enemies. This pest can be fought sue
cessfully at only two times during the
year, namely: while clustered in win
ter quarters, and while migrating from
wheat to corn in the summer. Now Is
the time to get ready to fight the pest
while in winter quarters and prevent
1t from proving destructive next year.
A recurrence Of this pest like the out
breaks of 1912, 1913, and 1914, which
damaged Missouri crops at least $5,-
100000, should be prevented If posi-
BILE.

them and markets them when they
are from Is to 20 months old, will
make money.
At that age the baby beef viii weigh
from 500 to 1,100 pounds. The carcass
will be the most economical for the
market to handle and its production
will insure profit for the farmer. Baby
beeves will gain about as rapidly in
the feed lot as older cattle, and the
cost of gain will be less, as much as
3 or cents a pound. If the market
is not just right when the baby beef
is ready, it may be held and fed until
the market is right and 1t will keep on
gaining and gaining economically.
There are number of notable sue.
cesses with baby beef production.

WINTER REPAIR WORK
Plan to Overhaul All Buildings
and Farm Equipment.
Exercise Of Little Thought at This Sea-
son Will often Save Much Time
Later on When Outdoor Work
Is Impossible.

SO long as good weather continues
in the fall most farmers are so busy
with threshing, corn and potato har-
vest, fall seeding, hauling, etc, that
less important work is usually post
poned until winter. However, the ex-
ercise of little thought and the ex-
penditure of q very few minutes at
this season will often save not only
hours but days later on, when the
weather and roads get bad and out
door work Is impossible.
Then the odd Jobs of overhauling
the farm equipment, repairing, paint
ing, etc, which have been put off
until a slack season, will require at
tention; but all too often the neces-
sary materials will not be on hand,
and the work will be delayed until 1t
Is possible to make q trip to town,
and not infrequently 1t remains I'M
done until the busy season the follow
Ing year, when necessity demands It.
A list should be made Of the things
that will be wanted for this work. 1t
will only take a few minutes to jot
them down as they are brought to
mind, and then on the next trip to
town they may be bought and set
aside so they viii be ready when want
ed. The condition of the different ma
chimes which will, or should be, over
hauled, should be noted, and the parts
which will need to be replaced pur-
chased. Then there are the odd jobs
Of repairing buildings, fences, gates,
ETC., which will require lumber and
nails. There is no need to make an
extra trip for them when wanted (;
they may be brought home the next
time a load is taken to town. Like
wise the lumber and hardware for
the small jobs Of construction which
should be done before spring. Also
the paints, oils, putty, and brushes
which will be required in painting the
various farm wagons, implements,
inside woodwork, furniture, ETC., and,
above all, the necessary materials for
the improvements planned for the
house should be obtained so that they
can be completed this winter and not
have to wait another year.
Everyone knows how much more
satisfactory 1t is to have the necessary
equipment ready to perform a piece Of
work when an opportunity presents,
than to get started on 1t and then find
that it will have to be postponed until
trip can be made to town, which,
even If the roads are good, and the
trip can be made at once, means a
loss of time and added expense. 1t
Is astonishing how much can be ac-
complished on rainy days or during
slack times, when the tools and ma
terials are at hand.

SUPPLY VARIETY IN WINTER.
Any Kind Of sueeulent Feed, Such as
Glover, Corn, Fodder, Leaves,
Beets, Etc, Are Good.

1t is only in the winter, when the
food is dry and the hens confined, that
the difficulty affording a variety OF
green food is met. Variety in green
food is better than one kind. The term
"green food" does not apply TO grass
or cabbages only, but includes any
kind of bulky, succulent food such as
clover, corn fodder, leaves, cabbage,
beets, ensilage potatoes, turnips, car
rots, etc. The object is to give bulk in
order to dilute Qf 1t can be so ex-
pressed) the concentrated grains.
These foods are the cheapest that can
be used, and lessen the cost of produc-
ton of eggs, not only by promoting the
health of the fowls but also because
such foods assist in the digestion OF
the more costly kinds.
In feeding green food, variety may
be attained by giving cabbage one day,
beets the next, potatoes the next, and
so on, The object should be to lay in
supply Of such articles and have
them ready for use when winter
comes. Grass is the cheapest of all
foods for poultry in summer and the
farmer who feeds grain at that sea-
son is not only increasing the cost of
eggs, but taking the risk of causing in
digestion. On a range the birds get
seeds, insects and variety of grasses,
including young weeds. Ducks and
geese are grass feeders, and can cas-
lily secure more than they require,
while turkeys and guineas are the best
insect destroyers.

CORN VALUABLE IN THE SlL0
Where Used for Feeding sllo Is Most
Economical Place to Store the
Entire Plant.

An acre Of corn ensiled with ears
and stalks win produce as much. IL
not more, milk or beef than the same
acre of corn with the stalks ensiled
and the ears fed as ground corn. The
extra expense and labor of husking
and storing the ear corn Is very
largely wasted unless the desire Is
to market the ear corn.
If there is sufficient feed on the
farm and the ear corn will cure out
properly when snapped of in the man
ner described. then it might be profit
able to follow this practice; but If the
corn is not to be sold as ear corn and
is to be used for feeding on the farm.
then the sllo is the most economical
place In which to store the entire
corn plant.

STRAW ADDS HUMUs TO SOIL
One of Most Pressing Needs In Many
of Small Grain Districts-Maln-
talns Fertility.

Straw is important for maintaining
soil fertility-not only what goes out
onto the soil In manure but also what
can be spread direct from the stack.
Machinery is on the market for spread
ing straw which does good work. One
of the most pressing needs OF the soil
In many Of our small grain districts Is
humus. lacking In this important fac
tor. decaying organic matter, 1t does
not produce as once It did and 1t feels
the damaging effect Of dry weather
more quickly. By working straw into
the soil intelligently, much humus Is
added.

COLONY HOUSES FOR WINTER
Excellent Quarters for Breeding Geese
and Turkeys-chlckens Require
Much Fresh Air.

Colony houses make excellent win
ter quarters for breeding geese and
turkeys. Sometimes II may be neces-
sary to leave the front more open than
for chickens. These birds need a lot
Of air, and the only shelter they need
is enough to protect them from cold
rams. SHOWS and brisk winds.
Ducks can be handled successfully
in the colony horses. Runners, kept
for laying. can be broken up into small
fiocks and wintered in this way with
better results than in large buildings.
