RICE YIELDS $3.50 PER ACRE.

Shoemaker & Carter, who are
farm ng a school section nine miles
north of Welsh, Saturday brought
some samples of Satchfeld's Storm
Proof rice raised by them on that
place to town. The new variety was
propagated near Stuttgart, Ark, only
one field besides theirs having been
grown within this parish tbs year.
They announce that they have 80
acres Of tbs variety which will make
at least TOO bags. It is as early as
the Prolific and is very fine grain,
having a plump flinty berry.
The touching part of this tale is,
however, tie fact that these farmers
will have no difficulty in disposing OF
the entire crop at the thresher for $40
per bag, or a net sum of $1,000 from
fifty acres; practically $3.50 per acre
from ord nary Louisiana undeveloped
school lands. It is not to be wonder
ed at that our lands are changing
hands rapidly.

MORE TEXAS CATTLE.

Ten more cars of Texas drouth
ARIA cattle were received at the
Welsh stock yards Sunday having
been purchased by farmers of this i'm
mediate vein ty. This makes a to-
tai of about fifteen cars of these cat
tie received here during the past
two weeks.
It s.said that the rush Of buyers
from Louisiana to Texas po nts
where it was reported cattle owners
were sell ng their stock because OF
the shortage of feed has caused own
ers and spectators there to raise the
price unreasonably. Unless this con-
dition changes materially the move
ment of Texas cattle this way IS
over as buyers here say they VII not
allow themselves to be stung, al
though they are willing to pay far
prices and are not looking to take
advantage of unfortunate neighbors
whom the drouth had afflicted.

election held in this precinct of Ward
six Tuesday shows conclus:vely that

pose of voting a reduction Of a little
more than half in the school tax. In
the Welsh precinct 62 tax payers
voted. Of these SO voted for the
meUsun q Ivithii property 3uationcf
$81, 74O; there were two spoiled bal
lots, and one voted against with
property valuation of $3.50.
In at least two precincts of the
parish the important matter was
overlooked and the ballot boxes re-
manned unopened. The matter had
not received much publicity as it
was considered that the citizens
would net havs to be urged to vote
a reduction in their taxes.

JEFFERSON DAVIS SCHOOLS
DON'T NEED THE MONEY

Special school tax elections were
held in each of the nine wards of
Jefferson Davis parish Tuesday for
TIL: very unusal purpose of reducing
the tax levy :or school, purposes.
Special taxes have been voted in
the d fferent wards of the parish
ranging up to as high as thirteen
mills for the aid of the schools.
Thsse taxes were voted when the
assessment of the parish was five
mill on dollars. This year the po-
Ice jury raised the assessment of the
parish to thirteen million and the
present levy on that assessment
would fuSnsh the schools of the par
ish with more funds than they would
have siy use for, thus in this rare
instance the taxpayers are called
upon to vote a reduction of their
tax. Voting is not heavy in any of
the prec'n but it is reasonable to
presume that there will not be a
singh: vote registered against the
measure.
With the opening of the present
term the schools of Jefferson Davis
parish are in far the best condition in
their history. They are all we'll
equipped, supplied with the most
competent of instructors and the
initial attendance is beyond erpecta-
tons, -
