UNCLE SAM GIVES
SOUTHERN FARMERS
FINE OPPORTUNITY
VIII Bring Greatest Exhibit 10
National Farm and Live
Stock Show.

The United States 10 coming TO tbs
National Farm and Live Stock show
ct New Orleans, Nov. 1919, DrepaTa@
to tell tue farmer all 1t knows. and 90
!ilustrat, the reason fer all that e
asks and advises.
This 10 the first time that the Unfit
cd States has sent its great agrtctsi
taral exhibit to this section. This IL
war time and the government Ia very
busy. 1t Is sparing the time and the
men because it realizes that the south
is bound to be the main food source
of the future, and it believes that by
coming to New Orleans It will be abe
to reach most Of the south at one
time.
The United States department OF
agriculture had q great display at the
Panama Pacific Exposition, and then
sands voted it a revelation and = mar
vel The exhibit has been made much
larger for the approaching occasion. II
will be like a veritable Touring CIR.
Gus of agricultural acts and features,
and it will have. dozens Of experts
along to explain the displays and give
further information It will run the
finest kind of a moving picture show
all day, and 1t will have frequent lee
lures In addition There will even be
chiefs Of departments like DR.. George
II. Rommel, head or the animal nus
bandry bureau. and probably DR.. Brad
ford Knapp OF the states relations ser
vice, and others.
AS the exhibit will crowd 1900
square feet Of space, and will be q
complete fair in itself, IL would require
O book to give the details. Wherever
the products themselves are not used

insects that affect crops. stuffed ant

ideal structures being shown, but some
Of the very latest discoveries on the

! government operates near Washing
ton. Reforestation Is exploited In i
picturesque way, and the growing to
bacco industry lie visualized IN various

nares and explains the newly estab
isshed grades OF cotton. The boys' and
girls clubs will be treated In their IA
tional aspect affording medium oil
comparison as well IS example. The
good roads display will be Of immense
service, especially as it will treat with
construction material and methods as
we'll as the benefits which follow.

INFERIOR SEED MAY
CAUSE CROP FAILURE
OFTEN CONTAIN OBNOXIOUS
WEED SIZED THAT CAUSE PER-
MANENT INJURY TO FARM.
SEED WILL Be TESTED FREE
There Is NO Necessity For the Louie
lana Farmer To Plant Seed OF
Unknown Value.

One OF the essential features OF
profitable crop production Is the use
OF good seed The farmer OF Louis
lana has often suffered inadequate
returns and, no doubt, in some in
stances complete crop failure owing
to the use OF seed Of inferior grade.
Not only that, farm seed often con-
tain obnoxious weed seed whish. IL
sown, will require time and money
10 eradicate These resulting weeds
may in some eases effect permanent
injury to the farm.
There is no necessity for the Louis
lana farmer to plant seed Of unknown
value. A seed testing laboratory is
maintained at the Experiment Sta
ton of the Louisiana state Untver,
sity for the purpose OF furnishing in
forma ton to farmers and seedsmen
as the quality Of commercial agricul-
tural seeds 1t enables the prospec-
tive buyer to obtain samples OF seed
from the seedsmen or grower and
have them tested before purchasing.
The seed laboratory is In charge OF
an expert seed analyst and is well
equipped for rapid and accurate tests
as to purity and termination. A pur.
ity test can be made and the report
returned almost Immediately. A ger
mination test requires Ave days OF
longer, depending upon the kind OF
out seed tested.
To secure a sample, take three OF
four tablsspoenfuls of clover or
grass seed or ten or twelve table
spoonfuls of larger seeds. The sam
pie must represent accurately the
bulk from which it is taken. To OBJ
tain representative sample, handfuls
OF seed should be taken at random
from the top, middle and bottom Of
tbs sack and, after thoroughly mixing
these handfuls take the samples for
testing.
Send the samples to the Seed La.
boratory. Experiment Station, Louis
lana State University, Baton Rouge
No charge Is made for the tests.

BREEDS OF POULTRY
SUITED TO LOUISIANA

In selecting a breed or variety OF
poultry for average farm purposes
che following points should be kept In
mind.
i. A medium size is desirable;
enc which will produce profitably both
eggs and meat.
.. A solid colored yariety-white,
black or bluffs more easily kept uni
form than parti-colored variety.
3. Birds with light colored plum.
age have earcasses Of better appear.
anee than birds with dark plumage,
40 a dark colored fin feather; II brok,
on, would discolor the skin.
4. It 10 necessary to have sitting
variety unless the breeder is prepaT-
Cd TO use incubators and brooders.
Experience has shown that the va.
rieties best suited to Louisiana CON
ditions are the White Leghorn and
Black Minorca in thenon-sitting class:
and the White, Barred or Buff Ply,
'ncath Rock, the White or Buff Wyan,
Gotte, the Rhode Island Red, OF one
OF the Orpingtons, in the sitting
class.
On Louisiana farms at present the
white Leghorn seems to be the most
popular variety in the non-sittfng
class, and the White Wyandotte In
the sitting class. Popularity means
demand and demand means better ep.
psrtuYity to sell breeding stock or
eggs Ror Matching. No mistake will
be made in selecting one of these two
varieties, although several Of tho
others mentioned are also exception.

was the first Of the newly victorious
states east of the Mississippi to come
into her own, and Indiana is the first
state to let women vote upon their own

Wyoming territory did this in 1890.
On March 6, Governor Brough of Ar
kansas signed a bill giving women
new and effective form Of suffrage, the
right to vote in primary elections, Ar
kansas being the first state to pass this
measure.
Then came Nebraska with its eight
electoral college votes and its addition
of 91S,9O3 women of voting age to the
suffrage forces.
This brings the solid rampant Of
western suffrage states eastward to
Iowa, whose legislature has passed a
bill this year to give women the vote

report of the 1916 State Fair, Just

THE woNIEN's CONFERENCE

Since the woman's suffrage confer
ence has gone, some of our esteemed
correspondents have made disparag-
ing remarks concerning it. We have
this to say: We attended, simply as
an observer, most of its sessions and
we never saw a deliberative body so
full of good sense, decorum and kind
feeling as that conference. The very
conference itself was an argument in
favor of woman suffrage. 1t was
enough of itself to convince one of
the righteousness of its cause. If it
had been a body of men, there would
have been clatter, smoke, noise, con-
troversy and going out to take a
drink every little while. The women
speak better than the men, speak to
the point and in kindly spirit; while
the men would hamble and rasp one
another at furious rate. There was
the difference between bright May
morning and dark, drizzly March
night.-Ohio State Journal.
