Big Increase In Corn Per

Club Work.

(By Grover C. Lewis, Farm Demon
stratOr.)
Not many states in the south can
boast of better record of club work
than Louisiana. This state has such
a variety Of soil that the yield of
corn can easily exceed that the the
famous corn belt All we need to do
is to treat the soil and corn plant as
they should be treated and nature
will do the rest. St. Tammany has
not made such great records in this
work, for she is comparatively new
in the work, and then this parish is
not what could be termed an agri-
cultural parish. Much work is need
ed to be done to make it one. but it
is coming in the next ten years,
probably not from choice but from
necessity. The boys corn club does
much to stimulate interest in good
seed, better methods of cultivation,
seed selection and in fertilization,
This information will gradually be
absorbed by the farmers in general
and big results realized finally.
This is one reason why 1 want to
make the club work a big feature
in sc. Tammany parish this year. !

Folsom. La, Jan. 21, 1917.

Folsom, La, Jan. Il, 1917.
Saturday, Jan. 20, Commissioner
Of Agriculture Harry D. Wilson,
Farm Demonstration Lewis and Mr..
Bailey, OF Oklahoma City, visited
our town in response to an invita-
tion from Messrs. w. F Odenwald
and George Koepp, Jr., in the in
terest Of truck farming. Commits
sioner Wilson made a very interest
ing talk on that subject, laying par
ticular stress upon the idea of liv-
ing upon the farm. He also ex-
planned at length the advantages of
organization and cooperation, in the
buying of fertilizers, and in market
ing the produce in the best markets.
At the conclusion of his address Mr..
Lewis took up the subject, and as it
was rather late to. begin extensive
operations advised us to confine our
selves to beans and potatoes for the
market, and for this year content
ourselves with making plenty Of feed
for ourselves and stock on the farm
and keep out of the grocery.
A Truckers Association of forty
six Of the best and most prominent
farmers in our neighborhood was
formed. Mr.. Geo. Koepp was elect
ed president, Mr.. w. F. j.. Oden
wald, secretary, and Mr. Hines Fem
delson, treasurer. A committee was
appointed to draft constitution and
bylaws and to report the next Sat
urday.
Mr.. w. F. J. Odenwald, though a
young man and new in our midst, is
an enthusiastic farmer, and says he
intends to prove that the clay hills
of st. Tammany can produce as good
crops as the more favored sections
of Louisiana. We wish him success.

Investigations Of Attorney
HeintZ Leads to the
Discovery.
Is YEAR OLD BOY IN
PLACE IS TAKEN OUT.
Woman Sentenced in Nav
or's Court to $25 or
Thirty Days.

Wednesday evening AttorneSSF. J..
Heintz of the Juvenile Court visited
the house of Ollie Ord, near Ro-
mano's, for the purpose Of taking
charge of boy Is years Of age, said
to be living in immoral surround
ings. The Ord woman said she was
the mother of the boy and that she
did not keep an immoral place, but a
boarding house. When Nj. Heintz
pointed to the four or five lightly
clad inmates and wanted to know
what they were doing there, the Wo-
man finally admitted her occupation.
Mr.. Heintz took the boy from the
place, but the youngster is said to
nave escaped pending provision for
his care until proper disposition
could be made of him. He will be
looked up and taken care of.
Mayor Lacroix had the woman ar
rested for keeping an immoral place.
She was brought before the Mayors
Court and fined $25 or thirty days,
and in default was locked in the
parish prison This is the same wo-
man that was a while ago given time
to leave town.
Mayor Lacroix states that every
woman found to be conducting a
house of this kind will be arrested,
and that officers have been given in
structions to that effect. These wo-
men were all supposed to have been
driven from COvington, but some
of them slipped quietly back, and not
being noticed, soon began to run the
piano and give other evidence of full
swing. But if the orders OF the
mayor are carried out, it will be
found too hot for them here.

SUNDAYS NEW YORK JOB

Billy" Sunday is soon TO enter upon
the most serious undertaking he has
yet assumed in attempting to make
an impression upOn New York, which
is accredited with being the. melting

of the dynamic eyangelSt's represen-
latives IS quoted as announcing that

any such concessions or defer to any
interests Of vice that he has hereto.
fore lambasted in his own effective
STYLE.
There are two reasons why It seems
impossible for him to pursue such a
course. The slang iHat the evangelist
iniactS into his appeals is not as Of
fenSiye when heard as It appears when
il is read. because Of the earnestness
and sincerity back of 1t when it is de-
liyered in action. If Mr.. Sunday re-
mits any Of his quaint expressions II
will be confession that it has been
an uffectation on his part and a
mockeTv Of his own professions. Il;
is the supreme earnestness and absO-
Lutte fearlessness OF the man that are
his chief attractions. To denature
them would completely discredit him.
The general wickedness attributed
to New York is somewhat exaggerated.
Ii has proportionately as large num-
bers Of Christian. right living people
as any other city Of the country. II
is its largeness and its cosmopolitan
character that is accountable for the
frequency Of capital crimes. 1t IS the
practical playground OF the country
where the provincial saints go at IN
teryals to indulge in frivolities they
dare not participate IN at home 1t IS

DISTORTION OF FACTS

Washington's suspense with regard
to a prospective eleventh hour dec
laration by the Berlin government
has been relieved through the repre-
sentations made by the German Chan
cellor to the Reichstag. There IS
nothing new in the, rather clumsy
effort Of Won Bethmann- Hollweg 10
shift the blame for the war. if wa-
ensues, on the United States. II IS
merely an attempt to give an oppor-
tuntty for reopening discussion that
has been considered definitely closed
by this government The much touicd
speech Of Hollwcg will have 10 effect
on any determinations that President
Wilson has decided on. because il Ia
obvious the speech was not seriously
intended to impress this country.
In taking the position that the
United States in standing out for her
natural and legal rights was forcing
war on Germany is TOO ridiculous IN

lor's part 70 be swallowed anywhere

A REPUBLICAN PLURALITY

The House Of Representatives Of
the new Congress which meets in an
extraordinary and Il very critical srs-
sion next Monday has some striking
peculiarittes. II is evenly divided IN
membership between the TWO DOM
pant parties, but the Republicans rep
resent popular plurality throughout
the country OF III .i93. which is in
structlve OF the voice of the people in
rebuke OF the Democratic record.
Whether computed on the basis Of
total votes cast for Congressional can
didates OF the TWO parties. or total
votes cast for the successful candl-
dates Of the two parties. the plurality
of votes is represented by Repub-
licans.
The figures Of the vote for members
OF Congress at the last election are.
therefore. interesting and illuminating.
They show that Republican candidates
secured plurality Of votes IN twenty
six States, the Democrats In twenty-
two. According to a list prepared by
the Democratic clerk of the present
Democratic House there were elected
o15 each OF Democrats and Repub!l-
cans in the next House. One Repuo-
lican and one Democrat have since
died. OF those elected, the Republl-
can States contributed 1913 Republ:-
cans and sixty Democrats: the Demo
cratic States contributed 155 Demo
Gratis and twenty-five Republicans
showing that it is easier for Demo
Graf TO be elected in q Republican
State than for 4 Republican to B."

whole number OF Republican Congress

Democratic Congressional votes the
total was 1,I53,2SG "A Republican

With such showing it is entirely
competent for the Republicans to de-
mand a larger share Of representation

ceived. and especially since the adj
ministration has been appealing for

part of the House. Owing to the i'll
ness Of a Republican member the
Republicans will have no possible
show OF nlcc;ing the Speaker. but that
is not so important. What they are
entitled 10, however. is an equal voice
on the committees. but Of course they
will not get it.
