REPORT OF COMMITTEE
Opelousas, La, July 80, 1918.
To the President and Members of
the School Board of the Parish of
ST. Landry:
Gentlemen-Your committee ap-
pointed for the purpose of i~nvestngat-
ing the advisability of consolidating
the johnson and Beaugh schools with
th Bristol school, beg leave to report
as follows:
We visited these schools and looked
into the matter very thoroughly, and
while we believe that thee schools
should be consolidated with the Bris-
toll school as SOC a. possible and
transfers operated, we do not see
how this consolidation can be effect
ed this year on account of the excesF.
i've cost of transfer wagons, school
furniture and building materials which
would be required and for the fur
ther reason that the district Is now
without funds to meet the required
expenditures.
Your committee is OF the opinion
that these consultations should be eff
fected as soon as conditions and fl
nances will permit Is we believe it

 The people in Nome vino still retain the old style calendar. Ser bians, Montenegrins and creeks, were celebrating Christmas day yesterday. A reporter of this paper had the singular and uEalloyed pleasure of enjoying two Christmas spreads in less than two weeks. He had almost forgotten thu differ ent styles of calendars in use--al- though not wholly unverse1 in Chro- nology-when Sam Dretson invited him to partake of the hospitality and good cheer for whic.' his peo- ple are noted. 1t then ncCured to him that this was Christmas day in the old Julian calendar which is still used in Russia, Greece. Serbia and Montenegro. Introduced by Julius Caesar in B. c. 4, it was a great improvement on the old ways of keeping time. but was. however, longer than the true solar year by little oyer II minutes.
 In 1882, when the ,cdr had fell behind 10 days, the calendar was changed by Pope Gregory XIII, and all countries except the ones men tioned have adopted the '.sw style.
 The Julian calendar is at present IS days behind the Gregoriar, wherefore January 2, 1918, is De- cember 25. 1917 in the Julian ca lendar.

Seed Tests Show Low termination
Record.

This is the week when all the
schools in Orleans county are making
an effort to test all the seed that is
to be planted this year. Practically
every school in Orleans county is
making a special effort to test all the
seed which the children may obtain
from their fathers on the farm as
well as any seed which may be
brought in by neighboring farmers.
This means that everyone can have
their seed tested this year if they will
is placed in some boy or girls hand
who is attending any school.
1t is absolutely unsafe to plant
seed this year that has not been test
ed. Guaranteed seed may be and
should be, all right but experience has
shown that guaranteed seed may not
be up to the guarantee. For instance
one shipment of corn into Orleans
county guaranteed to be above 800
termination only showed $500 ger
mination when it was tested. Home
grown seed should also be looked af-
ter carefully. The average of all the
corn tested in Franklin county this
year showed a termination of 22%.
Farmers who plant such seed are only
inviting crop failure. Only recently
the county agent tested couple OF
ears of corn raised in this county
which the farmer intended to use for
seed. Six kernels were taken from
each ear and out of these two lots
only two seeds terminated. This
shows an average termination Of be-
low 169o.- You cannot afford to plant
that kind of corn Any further in
formation which anyone may want
can be obtained from any of the
school teachers or the school children.
This is a countrywide proposition.
