GREAT SALT BED.

Adjoining the Anse La Butte oil
field there has been discovered one
of the most valuable salt deposits
which, it is estimated, is an mex
haustible supply,
Thursday Times-Picayune has
the following to say in part:
The discovery of the salt mine
was made by Andre Martin of La
fayette while drilling for oil re-
Gently. The drill penetrated over
3400 feet of pure rock salt without
passing through the deposit. 9th
er test wells were then drilled in
the adjacent section with similar
results. In some sections the salt
was found within 100 feet of the
earth, thus demonstrating that it
could easily and cheaply mined.
! Finding that the salt deposit was
as valuable as oil, Mr.. Martin be-
gan work to organize a corporation
to mine the salt on a large scale.
II. A. Banner, of the Weeks Salt
Company, became interested with
MIR. Martin and made an extensive
investigation. The survey showed
that the supply Of salt was practi-
cally inexhaustible. Steps were
Steps were taken to organize the
Anse La Butte Salt Mining Com
pany, with Judge Julian Mouton.
of Lafayette, as president.
Eastern and Northern capitalists
promptly subscribed for all of the
stock of the corporation, and none
of the shares are now for sale.
Contracts were made with the
owners of the land to mine the salt
on royalty basis. The company
now controls practically the entire
salt deposit.
Machinery has been ordered and
the first shaft will be sunk imme-
diately. Within sixty days the
company will have at least $50
men in its employ. Plants will be
constructed for crushing the rock
salt, and all grades will be manu-
factured for the market"

PROMPTNESS.

Promptness is what really counts
in the success of any undertaking
or business of any kind. Prompt
ness is indispensable, its absence
is usually the predominating rea-
son for failure to make success
of many an undertaking. No one
likes to be disappointed or be de-
layed. This unfortunately fails to
appeal to many who engage in one
thing and then another, only to
find nothing automatic, and be-
cause they are indifferent to what
is expected of them, or because
they delay doing to day what they
figure can be done to morrow, they
find themselves crowded either for
time or for funds. The end is
eventually the end of all where
pro m ptness is disregarded.
Promptness should therefore be
the motto of every individual, of
every community. Failure of a
community to promptly take ad-
vantage of its opportunity is cost
ly, and has repeatedly been de-
monstrated to the chagrin and loss
of the community. - Thibodau y

ffCAN ORCHARDS
MAY Be Improved
Top-Grafting or Budding Recommend
ed For Inferior Trees.

From partial survey Of pecan o..
chards in Louisiana during the past
year Il appears that the Stuart,
schley. Success and Noneymaker are
the varieties that are giving the most
gsnsrd satisfaction among grower
In the state. Many varieties now being
propAgated will have to be discarded
entirely because of defects that pre-
vent profitable production. Trees pro-
iuetng inferior nuts and non -produc-
i've trees can. however, be converted
into any variety desired by top-graft
ing or budding with desirable Va
rieties.
Pecan orchardists in this state, as a
rule, have planted their trees too
close. From observations made IN
bearing orchards up to twenty-five
years Of age IL appears that 100 feet
by 100 feet is not to much space for
full root and top development Of an
ideal bearing tree under average soil
conditions.
General suggestions for transplant
ing may be had from publications on
pecan culture, but it might be well to
stress here the following points:
1. The pecan roots should never Ca
allowed to dry
2. Holes should be dug six inches
deeper than the tree is to be set and
wide enough to give six inches of loose
earth beyond the tips of the lateral
roots.
3. Good surface soil should be used
In filling holes and the tree should
not be set deeper than it stood in the
nursery row.
4 No fertilizer should be put in
contact with the roots.
5. At time of planting all roots
should be trimmed to sound wood
with sharp knife.

LOuiSiana's Cleanup Day..
Times Picayune.


Acting Governor Mouton has,
on request, changed Louisiana's s
cleanup day from March to April
16. The latter is the month cho-
sen in most of the states as the be-
ginning of the fly and mosquito
breeding season, when the work of
cleaning up can be done most eff
fectively and to the greatest bene-
fit to the community. Although
one day is assigned for this work
more time is taken up in it, espe-
cialIy in the cities where there is
more to be done.
Cleaning up has not only proved
of great value as an insect destroy
er, but an important item in the
sanitation and the preservation of
the public health. This move
ment largely began in the South,
but it is now being honored and
celebrated with equal interest and
enthusiasm throughout the North
and West.
Again, it was clearly demonstra-
ted by the statistics that a clean
city, one free from trash, is safer
against fires and that confiagration
loss was smaller. The fire depart
ments everywhere are as strenuous
advocates of cleaning up days as
the health and sanitary bureaus.
The cleanup movement has
steadily spread over the country
and the people in all the towns
know how to do the work more
thoroughly and at less cost than
formerly. Civic cleanliness, it is
recognized, teaches household
cleanliness. We are well on the
road to eliminate the slums that
formerly SO disgraced our Ameri-
can cities. To accomplish COM
plete success the work must be
kept up all the time; but it is well
to have fixed date to begin it,
as in this way we arouse the popu-
lar enthusiasm and spirit, SO it is
necessary to interest the entire po-
pulation in this good work.

day, and from to Is days, rations No,
and 2; after 10 days, ration No. is
given mixed with sour milk or water
three times day In addition to ration
No. 2. After the chicks are thirty days
old. they are given moist mash once a
day. The dry mash is kept in hoppers
before them at all times. After 80

range at the age of eight weeks. After
the fifth day the chicks are allowed to
run on freshly spaded earth.

CULTIVATION OF CORN IN SOUTHEAST

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agrtculture)
The most common reasons for cult
waiting corn are defined In new farm
er's bulletin of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, Corn Culture
In the Southern States" as follows :
ID BY cultivating the soil away
from sthe row while the corn is young
1t may retard the rate of growth and
thus under certain conditions will ia
vor the success of the crop.
(2) BY cultivating the beds between
rows of furrow-planted corn to level,
the corn may be suddenly put within
immediate reach OF the soils greatest
fertility. This done at the right time
Will favor the greatest production of
grain.
Cd Weed destruction is one of the
most important functions of cultiva-
ton. Weeds are most easily de-
stroyed as they are coming through the
surface of the ground. Through sur
face cultivation will suffice at this
time. When weeds and grass are well
started, not only is there a rapid ex-
haustion of the moisture and plant
food In the soil, but the cultivation
necessary to remove them will often

CHAPTER XII.
She Orders Her Life.


That was the beginning of Pru-
dence's golden summer. She was not
given to self-analysis. She hadn't the
time. She took things as they came.
She could not bear the thought of shar-
ing with the parsonage family even the
least ardent and most prosaic of Jer-
rold's letters. But she never asked
herself the reason. The days when
Jerry came were TREMENDOUSLY happy
ones for her-she was ali aquiver when
she heard him swinging briskly up the
ramshackle parsonage walk, and her
breath was suffocatingly hot. But she
took it as a matter of course. She
knew that Jerry's voice was the sweet
est voice in the world. She knew that
his eyes were the softest and brightest
and the most tender. She knew that
his hands had thrilling touch quite
different from the touch of ordinary,
less dear hands. She knew that his
smile lifted her into delirium of de-
light. Prudence never thought of that.
She just lived in the sweet ecstatic
dream of the summer, and was well
and richly content.
2, So the vacation passed and Indian
summer came.
} It was Saturday evening. The early
supper at the parsonage was over, the
twins had washed the dishes, and still

tically no moisture on its way to the
surface can escape them. For this
reason late cultivation for the sole
object of conserving moisture is now
considered impracticable.
When corn is planted in burrows, the
early cultivation may consist of little
more than narrowing the bottom of
the burrows on both sides of the row.
A harrow of the type shown In the ac-
companying illustration may be used
when the burrows are made with a
lister. In this case the mules or
horses walk upon the beds, requiring
but little attention, and one man Is
able to cultivate as many as five rows
at time.
The late cultivation Of furrow-plant-
ed corn consists in filing the burrows
with soil from the beds. For this.
disk cultivators are among the best.
The leyeling process may be done in
one or more civilizations, and 1t may
be delayed until 1t is apparent that
the corn Is about to start tasseling IL
the weeds do not become u menace. A
loose, deep, rich mulch may thus be
thrown about the stalks without any
risk of damaging the crop and the corn
be left well prepared to pass its most
critical period after leveling the land,
