What it Means.

There are two things to be &C.
compliehed in this campaign. One
is, to avoid the humiliation and
disgrace of having State boss.
and the other is, to inject business
methods into the business affairs
of the State.
The ward boss cry is old, and it
may be that some Democrats are
tired of hearing it; but the fact
remains that it is with US. and
that it seems hard to get rid Of it
The State boss cry is very serious
and it should not be overlooked.
To have q Barnes or Murphy to
handle delegates to National
Convention, as Bob Ewing lives
and hopes to do, is the disgrace
we should escape; to have boss
of the bosses, is one down grade
etep which this state should no.
take, and if Parker is elected, we
believe it will retire Bob Ewing.
at least for a while, from the State
and National politics of Louisi-
ana. This ehould be done, and
the City of New Orleans ought to
help do it, for the City could not
better part with anything than the
presence and influence of Bob
Ewing in the politics and affairs
of the City. Do it now. Ewing
stands for Party and Politics, and
not for business, except the busi-
mesa of making money by being
In absolute control of City poli-
tics; and he knows the profit there
is in it, and will extend that busi-
ness very much indeed by annex
ing to it State and a National
boss departm ent. There is no
denying this fact; Barnes. Muir
ply, Sullivan, Taggart, Croker,
Cox, and many others did it, and
they were not separated from thei
strangle hold without struggle,
and not until after they had
grown rich and powerful. 1t is
much easier to head it off than it
will be to stop it after Louisiana
gets into the strangle hold. Stop
It now.
No one denies that the States 8
affairs need business Methods
less politics and more business.
John NJ. Parker is business
man with fine bu ,iness record OF
success. Col. Pleasant has fair
~ good political record. but with
few achievements to his credit
his specially is just what Louisi.
ana does not want.-politics
Then it is quite convincing tha,
Mr.. Parker is the proper and f,
man for Governor. and We be.
lieve that this opinion is less vo.
cal than logical, aud is, or will be,
general before the April election
The sudden departure of Doc
Aswell, and the significant call
for less Ewing from the North
Louisiana press, seem to make
fairly good evidence that Parker
is being accepted at his true and
just value, aud that new blood
and other methods must be re.
QUESTIONED to head him off

Lands Suited to Sheep,

sheep do best on high. dry land
that is, on hard soiled land, where the
grasses adapted to sheep are produced
naturally or are easily introduced by
cultivation. The short grasses or such
as usually are termed pasture grasses
are essential to the we'll being of the
sheep. Cattle and horses will thrive
and do we'll on hay grasses. on wet
and grasses, tall grasses. but with
the sheep it is different. They depend
on the short growth. dry soil pasture
grasses. 1T is important that they be
not confined to wet, soft. DOGGY pas
lures. The sheep inclines to foot scald.
sore feet and finally foot rot where the
hoof is constantly under the influence
of moisture in the soil.

To Swell Coy Scout Armv

New York. Sept. 27.-A movement
opening the way for further expansion
OF the boy scout movement was an
nounce1 in a statement from the ma
tional scout headquarters. The organ
iZation has created a %"pioneer scout
class.
Hitherto, when youngsters from the
backwoodS of Maine. the ranches of
Texas or other remote sections have
written to the national headquarters,
asking to be enrolled. the reply has
been to form a troop or join one al
ready organized" In thousands of
cases boys found it impossible to do
either. because there were not enough
boys in their n~eighborhood to comprise
a troop.
The pioneer scout plan will solve
this difficulty. Now boys may Join
the organization individually and as
conditions change build up scout units
about them.

SAVE THE SQUASH VINES.
Bugs Should Be Trapped and Their
Euus DESTROYED.

Save squash vines by trapping the
adult squash bugs and by destroying
the eggs, advises George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The eggs which are easily seen
should be picked off and DESTROYED.
points out Professor Dean. The adults
cannot be killed by insecticides. but
h nymplls may be destroyed by
spraying with kerosene emulsion. The
adult bugs may readily be trapped by
placing small pieces of boards or sim
liar shelter neal the vines. under which
they may be gathered in the early
morning.
"Clcan up the squash vines in the
fall and reduce the squash bug for tho
coming year" is the recommendation
OF Professor Dean. In the early sum
me the females deposit their eggs
mostly on the underside of the leaves.
They are oval. about o~ne-sixteenth of
an inch long and laid in clusters.
When newly laid they are pale Yellow
brown. but later change to a darker
shade. so the stage of their devclop-
ment may he told by their color. The
esSS hatch in from six to fifteen days,
depending upon the temperature.
The young nymplls are brilliantly
colored, the antennae and legs being
bright crimson. the head and anterior
thoraX Il lighter crimson and the DOS

changes to a jet black. The young
bugs suck the Juice from the foliage
and soon cause the leaves to wither.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


Cover some of the joints of squash,
melon. and cucumber vines with earth,
This will cause the plants to send out
new roots and help prevent destruction
by the stem borer.
The cucumber vines will continue
bearing if you keep the cucumbers
picked.
Seeds of early ripening trees and
shrubs should he planted as soon as
gathered.
Cabbage, turnips. or %rutabagas NAV
be planted on the old strawberry bed.
