BUYS FIRST RICE
OF NEW VARIETY

Lake Charles American-Press
The Lake Charles Rice Milling com.
pany Tuesday bought the first lot of
Louisiana Pearl to be marketed this
year. They secured from Jones and
Malloy, at Welsh, $50 sacks of the rice
of which 125 are in the warehouse
here.
Louisiana Pearl is new variety of
rice which is being tried out this year.
AS most of the crop will be held for
seed it will not be a merchantable
proposition this season. There is a
good deal planted around Lake
Charles, the best field being an 30
acre tract grown by Charles Links
wiler, southeast Of the city. Manager
j. Alton Foster of the big rice mill,
is enthusiastic over the rice, and de-
clares that it is the best grade he has
yet seen.
The Lake Charles Rice Milling
company yesterday bought 5000 sacks
Of Blue Rose from Arthur T. Jones
and E. II. Boiling at Welsh, paying
$3.50 to 1926 barrel. The associa-
ton minimum is S3.25.

U. S. WILL GIVE LOUISIANA
$l,O0O,OO0 FOR GOOD ROADS

Good roads enthusiasts throughout
the state were keyed up to a high
pitch last week when Representative
j. W. Alexander of Rapides announc-
ed his intention to actively push legis-
latlon for good roads on a big scale.
The country press from all sections
OF the state commented on the oues-
tlon and the sentiment was over
whelming in favor of Mr.. Alexander's
plan to make good roads legislation
the outstanding featrue of the next
regular session, That the public may
better understand the provisions of
the Shackleford- Bankhead Good
Roads act passed by congress and
signed by President Wilson, President
?. M. Miner of the Louisiana Good
Roads association advises that the
amounts allotted to Louisiana are as
follows: First year, $67,95O; second
year, $195,9OO; third year, $2O3,85O;
fourth year, $271,9OO; fifth yesf,
$685., ESQ; yto4al $1,O19,35O. To re-
ceive the benefit of this the state is
required to put up an equal amount
and is further required to guarantee
maintenance.
ut is for this reason" said MIR.
Alexander, "that it is imperative for
Louisiana to adopt bill that will give
US an amount equal to and more than
that put up by the government, for
upon us is the obligation of mainten.
ance' intend to push this matter for
all it is worth and have assurances of
backing from all over the state.
Louisiana can and must be the
equal of any state in the union as to
good roads. Money spent in this way
will come back to us ten fold and the
farmers of the state will be brought
Just so many miles nearer to their
selling markets."
While Representative Alexander is
motoring to New York studying good
roads en- route, President Miner of
the Louisiana Highway association is
motoring to Kentucky on a similar

RATARY SEPARATOR
HAVE TRIAL HERE
New Idea in Threshing Rice Will Be
Tried Here This Season.

Concerning the new idea in thresh-
inc machines of which we have pre-
viously had considerable to say in
these columns, we are pleased to
quote the following from an Enid,
oklahoma, newspaper, first noting
that this machine is the invention of
Mr.. Monroe Davis, brother of Mr.. T.
L. Davis of Welsh, appeals to US as
peculiarly adapted to the rice fields:
There is a concern making its mark
in Enid which has not had the degree
Of publicity which it merits. That
concern is the Davis Manufacturing
company which puts out the New Da-
Wis Rotary Grain Separator. The sep
arator is something in the line Of farm
appliances which makes for saving of
time and expense. In this day and
age when efficiency is the watch
word the farmer is as alert as the
business man to improve his methods
of doing business.
Briefly described the Davis Rotary
Grain Separator is q machine for sep
arating the grain from the straw by
the rotary process, similar to that
used in the cream separators. The
main body Of the machine is about six
teen feet in length and about nine
feet high. It has a feeder eight feet
in length, which carries the bundle of
headed grain to the separator by sue
ton thus doing away with consider
able work in feeding the machine.
There are two blowers, one to expel
the straw and the other to fan out
the chaff. The cylinder revolves at a
speed Of from $50 to 1000 revolutions
per minute. Inc rapid Whlrllng of
the grain threshes out the grain by
centrifugal force rather than by beat
ing, as is done in other types of
threshers. The outfit weighs 214O
pounds, is all metal and fre-proof. It
requires ten horse steam and fifteen
horse gasoline power to run.
Some of the little features that
recommend the new thresher may be
briefly noted as follows. Does not
crack the grain, can be set in three
minutes, only two belts on the whole
machine, only eight places to oil,

SOMETHING DOING NOW
AT RICE GROWERS OFFICE

Probably the busiest man in the
country these days is Mr.. R. L. Alb
bott, manager of the local Southern
Rice Growers office.
Nearly the entire crop in this sec
ton is handled this year through the
association and the farmers appreci-
ate the good offices of the association
to such an extent that the services of
their local manager are in demand
constantly. They are beginning to
appreciate fully the futility of the old
every man for himself-plan of mar
keting their product, and the result is
that the crop is moving rapidly but
steadily and with satisfaction to the
farmers as well as the mills.
Mr.. Abbott is ably assisted in the
local office by his son and Mr.. Riley.
Mr.. Riley is himself well schooled in
the Juggling of the Oriental cereal,
having entered his career in the rice
business in "The Rice City of Amer
lea" soon after he left the cradle.
The greatest feature of the 1916
rice crop is the beautiful weather
which is permitting the rapid harvest
of the crop and is responsible for the
fine condition in which it is arriving
at the mills and warehouses.
Blue Rose is king in this section
this year, and is probably sixty per
cent of the entire crop. 1t is NOV
ing rapidly too, buyers competing for
every lot as it arrives from the
thresher.

LAKE CHARLES MILLS
ARE BUYING FREELY

Lake Charles American-Press:
Both the local rice mills are in opera
ton. and have been for some weeks
starting the season unusually early
They are buying rice freely, and a
long run is anticipated. The big mill
of the Lake Charles Rice Milling
company, the largest in the rice belt.
will commence night operations by
Saturday, and will thereafter run con-
tinuously day and night through the
season.
Manager ]. Alton Foster, of the big
mill, states hat the report as to
Crowley mill buying the first Blue
Rose of the season is Incorrect. The
Lake Charles Rice Milling company
purchased the first Blue Rose this
year and last year, and also purchased
the first lot of Early Prolific this
year.
Last year the first sale of Blue
Rose was at Welsh on September 81,
when Shoemaker and Scroggins sold
to the Lake Charles Rice Milling COM
pany $50 bags at $50 a barrel. This
year the big mill purchased the first
Blue Rose of the season at Rayne on
September Is, securing 500 bags from
H. Smith at 1888. Yesterday the
mill purchased 1000 bags of Blue
Rose at Rayne for 1928.
The first large lot of Early Prolif-
ic to be sold this season was bid in by
the Lake Charles Rice Milling COM
pany at Welsh on August rs. 1t was
raised by Jones and Malloy, and the
225 sacks brought 1886 barrel.

ROAD BOOSTESS
WELL RECEIVED

After spending Sunday night in
Lake Charles the Texas and Lake
Charles delegation of Old Spanish
Trail, Trans-Continental Highway,
good roads boosters and enthusiasts,
arrived in Welsh Monday morning at
l9:15, exactly on schedule.
Upon their arrival here they were
escorted directly to the auditorium,
where Mayor VIM. B. Gabbert spoke
the pleasing words of welcome in be-
half of the citizens of Welsh, many
Of whom were present to emphasize
the greeting.
Pleasing responses came from c.
j. Kirk, of Houston; A. j. Splane, of
Liberty; B. L. Turnbow, of Beaumont,
Che "took in too much territory" but
got away with it pretty well); H. L.
L'Hommedieu, Of Orange; and D. M.
Foster and H. B. Bayliss of Lake
Charles. Some of the speakers ac-
cused the others of stealing their
line of talk, but we don't think any of
them took any glory from Mr.
L'Hommedieu of Orange. He adhered
to the relative focts in most inter-
esting and original manner.
The party left here for Jennings,
their next stop, accompanied by
Jennings escort which included Messrs.
James Ellis, S. A. Suffer, w. E. Cor
ham and Chas. Fiber.
