Special Campaign to Increase Fruit
Production.
Realizing the great Importance
of fruit production for home con-
sumption and the need for more
information relative to the prop
err care of an orchard, the extern
sion forces of the Louisiana State
University are conducting a spec
ial campaign to increase the pro-
duction of fruits suited to Central
and Northern Louisiana soil and
climatic conditions. The aim is
to enlist the cooperation of those
who are especially anxious to
better their orchards and thus
improve the quantity and quality
of fruit produced. The desire is
to begin with the selection OF va
rieties al d cooperate with inter-
ested persons through setting,
cultivating, pruning and spray
ing their orchard, covering the
period of years necessary to
bring the trees into profitable
bearing.
Many varieties of fruits which
thrive in the tropics and some OF
those adapted to conditions fur.
Their north are failure when
planted here. The varieties rec
ommehded in this campaign were
selected by going through the
North Louisiana Experiment
Station orchard and picking ou
those varieties which have done
best over long period of years
These varieties were further Sc
iested for successive ripenini
Qualities The list includes va
rieties ripenifs through, May

mature still later.
The space required by eac
tree is indicated. The numbe
of trees of each variety to give
well proportional home orchar
of an acre is also given. Thos
in charge did not stop with selec
ing varieties, but submitted tn
list to a number of reliable nu
series for competitive quotation
with the result that the trees al
quoted much cheaper than tt
same grade of stock can be pu
chased by individuals buying Sc
arately
The parish agent will be GALE
upon by the University to car

his belief, he declared, on the fact

date for the benefit of the Carranza
government the embargo placed by
President Wilson, on the shipment of
arms into Mexico, the recall of Gen,

GATES SORRY He HAD
NO SUBSCRIPTION PAPER
COULD HAVE SOLD MUCH STOCK
IN NEW FAIR GROUNDS

'If / had only had a subscription
paper yesterday" remarked Howard
C. Gates Friday, 81 could have dis
posed of one-fourth of the stock in
the proposed new fair grounds"
The reason for this statement is
the remarkable enthusiasm displayed
Thursday when the directors of the
Knox County Agricultural society met
in Secretary Gates Office.
Twenty-one OF the &c directors were
present and all were bubbling over
with optimism over the prospects OF
securing enough stock subscriptions
to purchase and equip the grounds.
The occasion for the meeting was
to amend the bylaws of the organiza-
ton that all stockholders may be-
come members of the society and be
entitled to all of its privileges. The
amendment was carried unanimously.
