Believe Me, Xantippe.'

Believe us, gentle reader, "Believe
Me, Xantippe," which comes to the
Grand Wednesday, is a rafting good
picture, and Wallace Reid is capital
as the hero. It skips along on its
merry way without hitch or stumble
Before the first reel is half oveg the
story is well started, and there is no
tagging of the fun right up to the
finish. The director has caught the
spirit of the comedy and maintained
it through the entire production. The
easy and taking comedy method OF
Wallace Reid is matched by the deft
characterization OF Ann Little as the
h.rone, and an. unusually well-bal-
anccd and capable cast help on the
good work.

Absurdity of Schwing's Attack.

farmers were planting the larges

OPPOSES COTTON PRICE FIXING
Farmers Union Committeeman Re-
turns from Trip to Washington.


III. A. Morgan, of Galvez, one of
Ascension's representatives in the
lower house Of the general assembly,
visited Washington recently as a
member of the committee represent
ing the Farmers Union to oppose
government price-fxing Of cotton.
He is member Of the executive COM
Union, and went to Washington in
that capacity While in the national
capital Mr.. Morgan also called at the
office of Director William G. McAdoo
to file protest against proposal to
discontinue through travel between
New Orleans and Shreveport on the
L. r. & N. railroad.
"We claim that our committee rep
resented the actual farmers who
grow cotton, and the states of Louisi-
ana, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas
were represented by organized farm
|ers and agricultural commissioners
Of the various states, and all were
united in opposing cotton price-fix-
ing," said Mr.. Morgan, upon his re-
turn home this week.
commissioner Harry d. Wilson
and myself went up on the same
train and we found q full delegation
on hand and we had a conference
with Chairman Lever of the house
agricultural committee and Senator
Gore. chairman of the senate agri-
cultural committee; Senator Owen
Of Oklahoma and Representatives
Sanders, Dupre, Watkins, Lazaro Of
Louisiana; Young, Mel Lennore OF
Texas and others met with US often
and all opposed price-fxing Of cotton
as being against the best interest OF
the government and the people.
ssOur committee also called on
Governor w. P. G. Harding Of the
Federal Reserve Bank and he assur-
ed us there need be no uneasiness as
to the ability to secure ample funds
to finance cotton, but impressed up
on us the necessity Of the farmers
doing their part and gradually mar.

1--WE then conferred with the agri-
cultural department, and Clarence
Ousley, assistant commissioner OF
agriculture, expressed himself as be-
ing against price-fixing and the de-
partmerlt was against it and urged CO.
operation and gradual marketing.
s.Our committee also called on
Bernard Baruch, chairman of the
War Industries Board, and he ex-
pressed the view that a price on raw
cotton should not be fixed, and sug-
gesteI that the War Industries Board
had been very liberal in naming
prices on fabrics and that this act he
deemed sufficient to automatically
give ample returns to the producers
of raw cotton.

TINE TO FILL sILo.
Good Supply Of Such Feed viii Make
Dairying Profitable.

- 4
The corn crop should be harvested
for the silo about the same time it
is harvested for fodder, after the
lower leaves have turned down and
the grain has become glazed. The
corn plant increases in food value up
to the time it is ripe, and immature
corn does not make as good silage as
the mature corn.
When the corn is harvested for.
silage before it is ripe, the silage is
less nutritious and contains greater
per cent of acid. On the other hand
if the corn is not harvested when it
becomes a.ipe and at the proper time,
the stalk and leaves are more diff.
flculJ 10 digest, more difficult to pack
into the silo, and i. .arge amount OF
water must be added.
Time. to harvest sorghum for tine
silo is when the seed have become
hard and the crop is ripe. It should
he remembered that the silage should
be well packed into the silo, especial
near the wall he time of sllar-.
the crop the sild,,
and the manner ID which same is put
into it determine largely the quality
and the feeding value Of the silage.
A. good supply Of silage and legu-5
minous hay will keep the dairy herd
in a thrifty condition, will produce.
large quantities of milk at a mini-
mum cost and make dairying profit
able.
Upon request the dairy extension
department of the Louisiana State
University can furnish plans, bills OF
materials and personal assistance
free to those who wish te build silos.
