One Of the privileges of living in
Tennessee is the fall garden. We can
have lettuce, radishes and snap beans,
young beets and carrots in October, If
We sow the seed in August. OF course
the family that takes a proper pride in
gardening has discovered long since
that the Tennessee garden is a place
Of continuous planting from January
all through the spring and summer
months, winding up with salad onions
In October or November. But this
article is intended for those who have
never tried late sowing.
Their gardens now contain toma.
toes, corn, okra, beans and melons,
with possibly few other vegetables.
They expect to SOW turnips the first.
Of August. Here is plan worth try
Ing: In blowing for turnips prepare
an extra strip a rod or so wide.
Manure the land heavily, pillow deep
ly, disk some fine manure into the
surface soil after blowing. In addi-
ton to the turnips plant snap beans,
beets, carrots, Boston Market or May
King lettuce, radish, endive and kale
All of these vegetables, except beans.
can be planted in rows fifteen inches
apart; and with good cultivation,
proper thinning and seasonable rains
one is insured as good garden
through September and October as he
had in April and May. Drought is
much more apt to occur In the fall
months than in the spring; for
this reason the careful gardener will
hoe the surface soil frequently, and |
thus save moisture to the crops. But
the heavy rains of July have been
statewide, and l do not recall a year
Of greater promise for fall gardens.

plants are two or three inches high |

thinning may be made to four inches,

ALWAYS KEEP THE HORSE BUSY

(By G. E. Alfred, Division of Exten.

1t costs almost 800 to keep a horse
for year, and the average horse
works only 81 hours a day. The crop.

that there will be profitable work for

The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1916-10-07

The first meeting Of New Or
leans business men to devise ways
and means for completion Of the In
tercoastal canal from Morgan City
to New Orleans was held Friday
afternoon in the library of the Asso-
citation OF Commerce. Major James
L. Wright presiding. according to
the Times Picayune.
After several addresses, upon mo
ton of S. A. Trufant, the chairman
of the meeting was instructed to ap-
point a committee whose duty will
be to outline plan Of organization
for an association auxiliary to the
Interstate Highway League, the
chief aim Of which will be to work
for the extension Of the canal to
New Orleans. The following commit
tee was appointed: S. A. Trufant
chairman; E. l.. Chappius, II. Fl Har-
vey, George A. Hero, T. N. Smell and
NJ. l.. Alexander The committee was
called to meet at the Association OF
Commerce at II o'clock. Saturday
morning
Walter Parker. secretary of the
Association Of Commerce, called the
meefng to urder.and stated its pur-
pose was t. arouse city wide inter
est in the Intcrcoastal canal project
He depiored the fact that New Or
leans had been slow to show its in
terest in the work of completing the
link between Morgan City and New
Orleans. Mr. Parker introduced Ma
jor James l. Wright as the chairman
Of the meeting
Major Wright warmly commend
ed the moment to begin work in
earnest for the extension of the can
al eastward. He emphasized the fact
that the Louisiana citizens who here
tofore had worked in the interest OF
the canal were not, and are not now
under salary, and that what they had
accomplished was done through the
highest patriotic motives. Mr.Wright
called upon Leon Locke, who for
many years has been interested in
the waterways Of Louisiana and es-
pecially the completion of the Inter
coastal canal. to address the meet
ing.
Among other things Mr.. Locke
said that sooner or later the canal
would be completed to New Or
leans, but that without concerted ac-
ton on the part of the business men

of New Orleans it would take years
to complete the work The time was
now ripe, Mr.. Locks said, for New
Orleans interests to impress Cong
ress with the need Of the completion
of the waterway which would mean
much to New Orleans. Heretofore,
the speaker said, individual indorse-
ment had been given the project to
the stretch between Nor
gan City and New Orleans, and no
man had worked harder to bring
about this desired end than Mayor
Behrman, but the action NV need
ed was that representatives of the
various exchanges and the leading
business men Of New Orleans band
themselves together in an organiza-
ton with the sole aim of completing
the Intercoastal Mr.. Locke said that
when the improvement in the Trinity
river in Texas was completed, and
when the link between Morgan City
and New Orleans was completed, it
would be possible to reach Dallas.
| Texas, by an all-water route. He
thanked those present for the inter
est they had shown by their attend
ance upon the meeting.
Congressman Dupre said he had
been over the route of the proposed
link from Morgan City to New Or
leans and he was fully conversant
with what its completion meant to
this city. He considered that stretch
of the canal between Morgan City
and New Orleans as the most impor-
tant to be traversed, saying the can
al would never be a complete sue
cess until it reached the river. The
people of New Orleans could depend
upon him and his colleagues in Con-
gress to do all in their power to
bring about the completion of this
important link in the project.
