LAFAYETTE SOIL is VERY
PRODUCTIVE

Mr.. Leo. Doucet has a farm in the
First Ward containing 100 acres of
land, seven or eight of which are
used for pasturage and the rest sown
to cotton, cane and corn. This year
the, place yielded altogether in crop
value over $4,000. Two tenants
worked the farm on the third system.
Mr.. j. J. Mouton has for sale a
farm near Scott, containing 1875
acres Of land, which this year pro-
duced over $4,000 value in crops.
Not loong since a gentleman Of
fered farmer in the Second Ward
s105 per acre for the land and was
astonished at refusal to sell "Why
should | sell at that price," replied
the farmer, "when this year l pro-
duced more per acre than you Of
fered me?" The above are only
few instances to show the fertility
of Lafayette soil and the bonanza

possesses.-Lafayette Advertiser.

vice have been engaged in cooperat-
ing with the Recruiting Service of
the United States Shipping Board in
! furnishing information with refer
ence to officers who are available to
man the ships, and in approving the
applications of persons who desire to
enter the nautical schools conducted
by the Recruiting Service. The num-
Der of examinations of applicants for
licenses has greatly increased, owing
to the increased demand for officers
to man the vessels that are being
added and which will be added to
the merchant fleet in large numbers.
The number of reinspections Of
vessels are more carefully made than
formerly, requiring a longer time to
make the inspections, and larger
force Of inspectors
Overlooking STEAMBOATS,
The Bureau points out that, owing
to amendments of the laws, the re-
sponsiDility of approving the passen-
ger allowance Of vessels comes under
the jurisdiction of supervising in
spectors, as check on the action of
local inspectors. In case of doubt by
local inspectors as to the stability of
vessels, stability tests Of such vessels
arc made by an expert detailed for
the purpose There is no law against
the overlooking of freight steamers,
bat the service has been doing what
it can to prevent overlooking of YES
sells of this class. Inspectors have
been detailed on the Great Lakes in
the fall to prevent the overlooking
of vessels of this class, in which work
they have received the hearty coop
Grafton of the owners. The Bureau
recommends amendment of the law

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
Experience showing that some fire
extinguishers approved by the Board
of Supervising Inspectors were de-
fective and that standard was de-
sired, the Bureau obtained samples
of fire extinguishers from all Of the
firms whose fire extinguishers had
been approved, and these extinguish-
ers were submitted 70 exhaustive
tests by the Bureau of Standards,

these tests the list af approved fire

jected. Certificates Of efficiency
were issued to 1853 lifeboat men,
and 2,943 were rejected.
Steel plates for the construction of
marine boilers to the number of
$500 were inspected at the mills,
and large amount of other boiler
material was inspected. There were
examined and tested 2O2,583 new
life preservers, of which number
| 1859 were rejected.
The total number of accidents re-
sulring in loss Of life was 257. The
total number of lives was 592, of
| which II were passengers. OF the
ives lost 210 were from suicide, ac-
cidental drowning, and other causes
beyond the power Of the Service to
prevent, leaving loss Of 1882 lives
as fairly chargeable to accidents, col!
isions, founderings, etc. There was
decrease of 6S4.i in the number Of
lives lost as compared with the pre-
vious year. Passengers to the num-
ber OF 317, ,095,171 were carried on
vessels required by law to make re-
port Of the number of passengers
lost, shows that 4,456,129 passengers
were carried for each passenger lost.
Eleven hundred and ninety-three
lives were saved by means of life-sav-
ing appliances required by law.
The work Of the Service has in
creased in several respects due to
war conditions; and although the
force of inspectors was materially in
creased during the fiscal year, the
force Of inspectors and clerks was
net sufficient to meet the increased
demands on the Service without tax
ing it to the utmost, and the Bureau
recommends a substantial increase
in the number Of inspectors and
clerks, particularly of clerks, in or
der that the work of the Service may
be properly kept up. The Bureau
also recommends an increase IN the
salaries of all inspectors and clarks,
due to higher salaries paid outside
of the Service for the same charac-
ter of work and the increased cost
of living.
During the year many interned
German vessels were examined by
inspectors of this Service. Inspectors
were detailed to the Cape Canal, to
watch vessels navigating that body
of water. The inspectors of the Ser
