CrTRR MARKET PRICES SHOULD
CONFORM no THE PRICES
SCHEDULED ON BOARD.

There has been some complaint
that the prices at the curb market
are not uniform and in accordance
with instructions of the management.
This is a matter of importance to
patrons of the market, which OF
course means that 1t Is OF import
ance to the farmers also. IT regu-
lar board schedule is maintained the
patrons of the market know before
they start from home just what the
things they want will cost and can
arrange their expenditures for the
day in accordance with their eco
nomic plans. In this way patrons
of the market are held together and
farmers know just what they may
expect to receive for produce.
II prices are not right, then a coun-
Gil should be held and the prices
fixed so that reasonable profit may
be made. Patrons certainly should
not object to this. 1t is a protection
to them as we'll as to the farmer.

CONSERVATION
ORGANIZATION
STARTED

the Conservation Commission, held a
meeting in Covlngton TO organize a
Florida Parishes Association to pre-
vent woods fires, preserve standing
timber, protect farms and ranges,
an DIDO other things in the interest
of conservation.
Interested citizens from various
parts of the parish were present and
quite a number spoke on the subject,
the general sentiment being that the
matter was important and should be
taken up in a way to bring results.
The meeting was opened by Harvey
E. Ellis, who explained the object
of the meeting and introduced Mr..
Forbes.
The following letter from Mr.
johnson, of Bogalusa, who took an
active part in the meeting, will ex-
plain what was done:

At CovingtOn on the above date
very important meeting of repre-
sentatives from nearly all the Florida
Parishes was held in the courthouse
to consider ways and means looking
toward the perfection of an organiza-
ton of the citizens of the piney
woods section, especially of the Flori-
da Parishes, to cooperate with the
Department of Conservation In the
state with the object in view OF con-
trolling as much as practicable the
usual annual forest fires.
This meeting was called by the
Department of Conservation through
R. d. Forbes, State Forester.
| The meeting was informal and CO.
thusiastic. Every one present seem
ed very much impressed with the
untold damage caused by permitting
the destructive fires to run at will
and Unfortunately and converting
into ashes, not only a great deal Of
useful timber, fences, houses, barns
and bridges, but destroying each year
everything which nature has grown
and nature intended to decay and GO
back to Mother Earth in order to
keep our soils renovated and fertile
as we'll. 1t seemed to be recognize
at this meeting that a great good
can come to our country through
forward-looking, co-ordinating, Of
fective, systematic and bustnessllke
effort in order to as much as possible
and practicable give nature chance
to do for us that which we are un-
able to do TO yourselves, to-wit: Re
store our run down soils. by sup
plying the much need humus. there
by giving us more nutritious grasses
I and herbs and growing more wood
and trees.
At this meeting temporary organi-
zation was perfected and H. B. Pru
den, of Covington, was elected TEN
