WARNING ISSUED AGAINST SELL
ING CORN.

Reports have been received from
several portions of Louisiana that
corn is being sold at approximately
$1.O0 per bushel at the present
time" says Dean w. r. Dodson OF
the La. State University. I'm some
cases 1t is asserted that there is an
inadequate supply of corn in these
very communities to meet the re-
Quirements for the coming year.
"Old corn is worth in St. Louis at
this time around $500 a bushel;
December deliveries are ~Quoted at
about $'1.20. with every probability
that the price will be materially
higher as the season advances.
Every indication would stress the
importance of holding enough corn
in every community to meet the alb
solute needs of everybody. Inde-
pendently Of the price consideration,
traffic conditions may be such as to
prohibit US from securing shipment
of corn into Louisiana territory from
distant states.
Every public spirited citizen
should help to prevent sacrifice of
corn at the present time. The par
ish committees of the State Council
of Defense will in many instances
find here good field for their &C

and try to get a larger appropriation
for the benefit of the general fund
for school purposes for the year
1917-18. Carried. The president
appointed on that committee Messrs.
Levy, Millar and Kahl.
The following resolution was in
troduced by Mr.. Levy, who moved
its adoption. 1t was seconded by
Mr.. Kahl.
Whereas. it appears that this
board will require certain funds to
meet teachers salaries due and to
become due between now and the
early part of the coming year, and
until the amounts due from the
sources of our regular school funds
can be realized upon, either by col
lections throughout the parish or
from the state apportionment; and,
Whereas, according to Section 62
of Act 12O of the General Assembly
Of 1916, this board is especially au-
thorized to borrow money to meet
current expenses, and to pledge the
revenue of the current year for the
payment of such loans.
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the
members of this board that the pres
ident thereof be and he is hereby
authorized to negotiate with the fis-
cal agent, the Covington Bank &
Trust Company, Of Covington, La, a
loan of $15,5O0.S0, or so much
thereof as may be necessary to meet
salaries, ETC., now due and to be-
es shall be collected throughout the
parish. Said taxes are to be pledg-
ed and hypothecated according to
law for the payment of said loan,
and as mentioned below.
The revenues pledged for the pay
ment Of said 10 an are hereby de-
clared to he the special school taxes

assess . lower millage. even down to

enough revenue.
don't feel for an instant that
what recommend would be an un-
popular move. Every cent of this
additional money would be used for
extending the length Of term, and l
remember that the taxpayers of this
parish have never turned down any
special tax election calling for more
money tor school maintenance. We
must admit the special school tax
elections ct best are expensive, and
that we would have to hold one in
each of the eleven districts In order
to vote special taxes to raise money
that may be raised simply by vote
of majority of our ten police jury
members.
/ know and realize thoroughly
that the members of this jury are
intelligent, punMc-spirited, progress
sfve men, and / believe that they
have the moral backbone" to give
us more money II they but realized
the conditions under which we are
laboring.
My attention was recently called to
some 18th section school lands once
owned by this board. Upon making
two trips to Baton Rouge. and other
investigations, / find that the 18th
section Of township 9, range 13, was
sold on May %, 1885, for $22SO.OO.
Notwithstanding the fact this board
now or never has received, SO far as
the auditors Office shows, one cent
Of income from this sale. You re-
member that the Attorney General
refused to approve Of our employing
an attorney to investigate our 10Th
section land matters unless we would
definitely state just what section we
were seeking to look up. l am of
the opinion that this particular land
mentioned above, that was sold for
over two thousand dollars. and from
the sale OF which we have never re-
ceived one cent, comes under this
head. For this reason, l would rec
ommend that we employ an attorney
to ind out what has become OF this
twenty-five hundred and eighty do
lars.
In closing I wish to thank you for
your kind treatment in the past. and
trust that l may be found worthy to
receive it In the future.
Very respectfully,
ELMER e. LYON,
