MEN OF GLENN.LOWRY CLAMOR
FOR WM. COLEMAN TO RETURN

At a mass meeting of the mill peo-
pie here tonight an unusual ana
striking example of the devotion OF
the workers in a South Carolina Cot
ton mill to their former Industrial
Captain was displayed.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Coleman sold
his stock in the Glenn-LoWry Mfg
Company and rendered his resigna-
ton, which was accepted. At a meet
inc tonight of the men employed by
the company, the following resolutions
we're adopted:
RESOLVED: By the two hundred
employees here assembled, that pro-
test be entered against methods en-
ployed: that attention be called to
the fact that this community was as
one big family before the change TOOK
place: that the mill was we'll run and
everyone was satisfied with the SUI
peyiors. and the treatment which was
accorded to all of them was after
their liking, that unless conditions are
corrected at once our friends and
neighbors will leave US one by one;
that according to the memory of the
oldest families such a disorganlzed
state of affairs never before existed
in the history of this company, anu
that this situation is brought about
by no other reason that short-sighted
policy of a meddler and a snob. Be
it further,
RESOLVED: That this meeting be
brought to the attention OF Mr.. Chlid
and a copy of these resolutions be
placed before him with the request
that he take up Immediately with the
stockholders and financial hackers OF
the company and make efforts to have
Mr.. VIM. Coleman reelected presl-
dent; that while Mr.. Coleman IS ar1s-
tocratic by nature and in mis- habits
nevertheless he is at heart and IN the
deepest sense democrat; that we
understand him and he understands
US, and that although he is reported
to have sold his stock in this COM
pany, for which he no dougt has good
reasons. nevertheless we do not under
stand why a change in the presidency
was necessary, and, as we see it now,
unless he comes back into that posi-
ton, a great loss of money is 1nevl-
table to both the owners OF the mill
and those employed in the mill.
When the resolutions were read to
Mr.. Coleman, he said, that no man OF
normal instincts could fail to appre-
ciate such assurance that he is held
in high regard in his community. The
resolutions he said, "are free Will
Offering, for those men owe me moth
ing" In answer to other questions,
he replied:
.sThere was an old owl that lived in
an oak,
And the more he thought the less he
spoke,
The less he spoke the more he heard
am trying hard to be like that bird. .

any, but the worthless cur can be

Don't you think, 1dler, it is time

CLUB WORK POINTS
WAY TO SUCCESS

"Of all the forces that are work
ing for the development and advance
ment OF Louisiana consider the agri-
cultural club work of the public school
children one Of the most vital said
T. H. Harris, State Superintendent Of
Public Education. These children
are demonstrating what can be ac-
complished in increased production
by using better seed, better methods
of cultivation, and more brains gen.
orally in their agricultural activities.
These club members have already &C
complished wonders they have set
the pace for better agriculture and
they have taught thousands of adult
farmers and housewives how to do
their work more intelligently and
skillfully."-L. s. U. Press Bulletin.

CATTLE TICKS WILL
GO NEXT SEASON
Fourteen-Day Dipping Periods VIII
Hasten Work Of Eradication.


Hasten Work Of Eradication.
1.-THE sole reason for adopting the
fourteen-day cattle dipping period In
Louisiana was to hurry up the eradi-
cation work to its completion, as all
the other Southern states nave al
ready DONE" says w. III. Dalrymple,
Department of Veterinary Science,
Louisiana State University. 1T has
been found by experience and close
observation that the twenty-one day
period delays the final result, requir-
ing several seasons instead Of one un-
der the fourteen-day method.
Naturally, work Of this kind re-
quires some little Inconvenience, but
it is good cause, and we have to
mike some sacrifices when the re,
suits to be attained are so far-reach-
ing. And after all, it is much better
to be at the inconvenience of dipping
cattle every fourteen days, or fifteen
times a season, and get rid Of the
ticks in one year, than to have to dip
them every twenty-one days, or ten
or eleven times a season, for two or
three or more years. with the extra
expense attached, before the work 10
completed.
However, in order to finish the
work in one season, It will require
cooperative effort, not only on the
part of the federal government and
the state, but of stockmen, individual
~ and collectively, as well, for
whose benefit the work has been In.
augurated and is being carried on.
I'VE must realize that, in this mat.
ter, we are not only Louisianians. but
Americans, as the work Of tick eradi-
cation in Louisiana affects not only
| the state but the nation as well, being
an important contributing factor in
the general food supply Of the PEG
| pie"

GRAIN CROPS THAT
DESERVE ATTENTION,
LOUISIANA DOES NOT PLANT
ENOUGH GRAINNcROPs IN
THE FALL.
WHEAT AND RYE IMPORTANT.

"The acreage of wheat barley and
rye in Louisiana has not been suffl-
GENTLY large so far as to be consider
ed worthy Of note by either the state
or federal agricultural authorities.
The difficulty has been to get varie-
ties that would stand the climatic
conditions, but we now have the Alb
bruzzes rye and blue stem wheat
that seem to have the power of de-
veloping under Louisiana conditions.
There is no special variety of barley
that can be recommended. There
has been an increase in the acreage
devoted to these three crops in tho
last few years and the coming years
will no doubt see still greater ad-
vancement.
One of the most vital factors in
growing these crops is the variety Sc
lccted. It must be strictly Southern
in its adaptations and should have
been grown in Louisiana for a num-
Der of years. The Abruzzes is the
best known variety of rye for Louis
lana, and Alabama blue stem wheat
appears to be good Several impor-
| tations of California wheat have prov
ed to be all right in few localities.
It is good plan to buy seed direct
| from the producer as then one is
surer of getting the variety desired.
| Wheat, rye and barley should weigh
60 pounds to the bushel. It is also
a good plan to buy all seed on germi-
nation and purity tests. The Seed
Laboratory Of the Experiment Sta
ton Of the Louisiana State University
will make tests free of charge. The
seed should be thoroughly cleaned
with tanning mill before they are
sown so as to remove all the light
ones and to break a number Of the
awns SO the seed will pass more read
lily through the drill.
Fall seeding is more profitable than
spring, hence one should try to get
the seed planted during the first two
weeks of October in the northern half
of the state, while a month later in
the southern part will usually be soon
enough. Seed beds should be firm,
but loose on the surface, which allows
the seeds to be easier and more even.
ly covered, especially if sown broad.
cast. However, it is better to use
the drill in seeding, as with it q
slightly smaller amount of seed is
needed, and the stand will generally
be more even. Plant bushel and .
half of wheat, barley or rye to the
acre. On sandy and the heavier poor
er lands several hundred pounds OF
acid phosphate may be added to the
acre previous to planting Or. if one
is rushed, the fertilizer may be ap
piled at the same time the grain Il
