Cincinnati, Oct. %, 1917.
Editor Enterprise, New Iberia,
La:
Dear SRI am and long have
been a subscriber and reader Of
that priced paper, in which | re
Gently saw and carefully read, an
article on "The Moon in Plant
/ Life" in which you state in diff
ferent yays, your strong belief
that the moon exerts a profound
influence upon all animate things,
including man and all plant life,
every moment of both day and
night. and that it is important
whether crops are planted and
! hogs are killed in the light or
dark of the moon.
[ think that theories and be-
liefs. whether in favor of or OPP
posed to such beliefs, do not
count, but that facts do count.
Let me state one such fact:
When I was boy about fifteen
wears old, was sent to plant po-
tatoes in a town lot we owned
that had been plowed, narrowed
and furrowed ready for that
planting, and / was about to be
gin doing that, when a kindly
neighbor, who lived just across
the street and owned an exactly
similar lot of same size as ours,
came to me across that street and
told me that ] ought not to plant
my potatoes that day because 1t
was the wrong sign of the mooh'
and that therefore the potatoes
would all grow to tops and few on
no potatoes, and that he intende1
to plant his in that adjacent lot
of his, in the right sign OF the
moon. | told him that | did not
believe the moon would have any
influence or effect on the crop,
and he strongly said 1t would. |
replied that that would be a.
good time to test this, as | would
plant mine that day, and sug-
gested that, as he was going 10
plant the same kind l was, he
plant in his favorite time of the
moon, cultivate them well, etc.
and that on each day he hoed his
or cut weeds, etc. in his lot, |
would do the same thing In our
lot. that we should do all other
things to and about them, includ-
ing the digging Of them and
would each carefully measure
them and see which of us would
get the most and best potatoes.
He agreed, and we each did as we
agreed.
There was no difference worth
considering, in the amount and
quality Of our potatoes, nor in the
size and appearance of our potato
vines nor in any other respect.

One Of the most deplorable ans
tragic accidents to occur in New
Iberia for many years was that o.
last Thursday evening when the
life of young Allen Daigre, the
youngest son Of our esteemed Eel
low citizen Mr.. Aristide Daigre
was stricken out, through an auto
mobile accident. The other oc-
cupant Of the car, Mr.. Samuel
Brooks, newcomer, managed to
save his life, receiving only few
bruises though he was knocked
into Inconsistencies for a few
minutes. The sad catastrophe oc-
cured when the two parties were
on Ann Street which is paralleled
by nasty canal some twelve 20
fifteen feet deep in many places.
1t seems the parties had driven
the machine on this particular
street and when reaching Charles
Street where the sewerage IS be-
ing laid concluded to make a
turn. backing to the home
Of Mr.. Dorval Tullier and IN some
unaccountable manner Mr.. Daigre
who was at the driving wheel be-
came confused and placed one OF
his feet on the accelerator instead
of the break and the car took a
plunge and turned completely over
into the dangerous preciplc5.
Beth Of the men were plnloned
under the machine down In the
gulley. From what we were IN
formed, Mr.. Tullier and Mr.. John
Bogard were the first to realize
what had taken place and they
gave the alarm thinking it was
Dir. Fulton, who also resides in that
neiehborhood that had fallen into
the canal with his large car.
Phone messages were sent out
from the home Of Mrs. Cammack
asking for assistance to extricate
the occupants from the machine
and many who responded felt GER
tain it was DR.. Fulton. When
Mr.. Brooks was pulled from I'M
derneath the heavy Premier car
he make it known that it was Mr..
Daigre and not DIR. Fulton who
was with him. By the time suf-
ficient help arrived to lift the
heavy weight off of the unfort-
innate young man life was almost
extinct. Within Q few minutes
after, he was taken out and placed
in the yard Of Mrs. Cammack,
when he died without utteringI y
syllable. The accident happened
about $50 o'clock and by seven
there must have been two hundred
people assembled there to render
assistance. The big Premier ma
chine had just arrived from New
Orleans the same morning, being
driven from that city to New Ibe-
ria for Mr.. Brooks by Meyer Mes
layer, Jr. and Raouel Jaceque-
moud. In the afternoon Mr..

STATE AID CUT EIGHTY
PER CENT In 3 YEARS
Movement in Southeastern Mime
sofa to Get Full Amount from
State

Rushford Record Last week
Southeastern Minnesota started what
appears to be clearly defined and
vigorous initiative movement, the
purpose of which is to bring pressure
to bear upon the representatives in
the legislature as to the needs of
the full amount of the state aid to
the public schools. A sounding of
those present clearly indicated a
wide dissatisfaction, and the discus
sion brought out facts that will form
basis for the complaint that will be
taken before the legislature within
short time, in order that just such
relief may be had at this session.
It will be remembered that the legis-
lature of two years ago, in its last
hour under the guise of economy,
cut the state aid to public schools
whole million and a half dollars
without going into the details of
what might follow. This rash and
seemingly unjustifed act of the
lawmakers has since proved to be
a gigantic mistake and a miscon-
ception of what the word economy
implies. Nearly every school district
in the state has in consequence been
forced to levy additional local taxes
to make up the sum which the legis-
lature by one foolish move with
held.
For this reason it is urged that
not only Southeastern Minnesota,
but every district in the state en-
titled to state aid will rise in
spontaneous demand upon their re-
personalities to support a bill that
will soon find it's way before the
legislature. This proposition should
have the solid backing of every citi-
zen interested in taxation. 1t has
proven that the curtailment of
state aid to schools does NOT lessen
your taxes, but on the cOntrary-in-
creases your burden; because the
bulk of the state aid comes from
iron ore royalties, gross earnings,
ETC., and what this source does not
provide, YOU must.

fore adjournment was taken, elected
committee that will begin its cam
paign at once.

"PIGS IS PIGS BUT
ARE WORTH MONEY
Well Known Wadena Farmer Hits
Top Price Nearly in the st.
Paul Market

Wadena Pioneer Journal.-Allen
Kallerman, Button township, re-
ports selling, through the local
branch of the Equity association,
one porker, weighing $40 pounds
gross, for the gross price of $41.45,
or at the rate of $3.50 per hundred.
This is believed to be the highest
price ever received by a farmer in
this vicinity for hog Of this size.
The shrinkage on the animal
amounted to three pounds and the
cost of marketing was $1.28. The
net receipts from this one hog were
$4O.17.
Mr.. Kallerman tells the Pioneer
Journal that, including this one
sale, he marketed during the year
1916 $745 worth of hogs.

Kicked by Horse

Willow River Farmer.-Lawrence
Novak was kicked in he head by a
horse last Monday evening and is
now lying in the hospital at Moose
Lake with a slim chance for recov-
cry. The accident occurred while he
was leading the. horses to water and
it is not known just how it hap
pened. The animals came back into
the barn and a member of the fami-
ly found Lawrence lying on the
ground, apparently dead. He was
taken to the hospital next morning
and an operation revealed the fact
that the skull on the right side had
been crushed in and splinters had
penetrated the brain tissue. His
condition at this time affords little
hope for his recovery.

Hog Cholera in RenvilIe County

Hector Mirror Hog cholera has
again broken out in Renville county.
Out of a shipment of 400 hogs made
by the Bird Island Shipping Associa-
ton, Feb. 10, forty-cix head were
condemned by the government in
spectors at South St. Paul.
The source of this infec-
ton is not known, but it is
known that these codemned hogs
were shipped from two feeding yards
at Bird Island, but where they con-
tracted the disease is a problem as
they we're bought up from all over
the surrounding territory.
What makes this outbreak look
serious is the fact that no outbreaks
of hog cholera have been found
around Bird Island since 1915, which
proves that the disease will live over
on premises once infected and cause
trouble later. This outbreak stands
as a warning to all farmers to be on
the alert so as to prevent an epid-
emic as experienced in the past.

Northern Seed Wheat is Best

AS the result of a survey made by
w. L. Oswald of the state seed lab
oratory at University Farm, it has
been found that seed wheat from
the northern part of the state gives
the largest per cent of termination.
The same survey shows that the
seed wheat situation in the state is
not so serious as it was feared it
would be from reports circulated
widely last fall.
Because of the alarming reports
sent out last fall, Mr.. Oswald APP
pealed to the high school instruct
ors of the state and others interested
in the subject for samples from
every part of the state. Up to Janu-
airy /, 1,40O we're received from 70
counties. Careful tests of these
showed that wheat grown in the
counties north of a line extending
from the southern border Of Polk
county to the southern border of Pine
county gave an average termination
of 80 per cent, while wheat grown
in counties from a belt across the
state Just south of this gave an
average termination Of only SO per
cent. Still farther south the germ
ination was even lower.
The supply Of seed wheat while
not large, is not startingly small.
While seed wheat this year, says
Mr.. Oswald, is extremely dirty and
the average of purity is low, much
of it can be graded and screened
and used for planting with profit. A
considerable amuont of seed wheat
has also been held over from 1915.
The seed laboratory survey also
included oats, barley, rye, fax, tim
othy, clover and millet. The aver
age termination for these grains is,
oats 81 per cent, barley 88 per cent,
rye 80 per cent, flax SO per cent,
timothy SO per cent, red clover 80
per cent, and millet 50 per cent.

Holstein Record at Campbell

According to the Campbell Pro-
gress, an interesting experiment has
recently been concluded at the
Westview Farm owned by Orlo U.
Giddings. In order to ascertain the
desirability of pure bred dairy COWS
Julius Schendel, President of the
First National Bank Of Campbell,
Mimi, commissioned Mr.. Giddings
to purchase for him a pure bred
Holstein COW, such a one as he
would feel ought to be placed on
farms in this neighborhood. Mr..
Giddings looked around and in OctO-
Der, 1915, bought the pure bred Hol-
stein COW, Vanish Maid Mooie, for
$3.50. His expense, with transport
alton Of this COW brought the price
up to $298.93 delivered at Camp
bell. The COW freshened in Janu-
airy, 1915, and the full year was up
on January 7th, 1917. Accurate
records of production, test, value of
butter fat sold, we're kept and the
following is a summary:
Total production of milk
- $685. -----.-------- -12,3946O lbs.
Average test-.----.----- ---.3.74 per cent
Average butter fat---------.463. lbs.
Equivalent in butter to--58O lbs
Total gross value of butter
fat as sold-.---.--..-...----- 90
There was no account taken of
nearly six tons of skim milk as it
was not sold as such. 1t however,
made excellent hog feed.
The COW was under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Orlo Giddings

tention that the remainder of his
herd received. The feed consumed
was grown on Westview farm, ex-
cept such as bran and oil meal. I'm
fortunately the calf died in less than
three weeks from an unpreventable
cause.
Mr.. Giddings received $65 for
the care feed and shelter of the
COW, and under the agreement was
to receive a bonus if certain re-
suits were obtained. The bonus
earned was $24.74.
The COW wound up the year with
21.8 lbs. of milk testing SO per
cent. The actual sales of butter fat
for the thirteenth month were ap-
proximately $11.OO.
