Improvement, and reducing the inju-

chief among the benefits derived
from this practice.
A fotation in which sweet potatoes
are grown on the land once in three
wears. combined with seed selection
and disinfection, is not only effective
in preventing loss from stem-rot
black-rot, and other injurious dis
eases, but also in controlling the
sweetpotato weevii.

in order to supply nitrogen as wei

of no benefit to the individual, or the

now paying interest to the people at
the rate of nearly billion dollars a
year. This is the money earned by
the savings of the people invested in

With not single vote cast in op-

went on record yesterday as favoring
the development and improvement of
the city when they pledged their
holdings in favor of two bond issues
for carrying out street improvements
in Morgan City and to assist the par

but that the election in the parish
will carry as unanimously as did ths

The election passed off quietl,
yesterday, there being no trouble ane

Stocks Of Wool
Are not Excessive

The removal of wool marketing
from Government control apparently
is not going to prove as depressing
factor in the price of this commod-
ity as was at first supposed, accord
ing to G. P. Williams. sheep special
ist. Extension Division, Louisiana
State University. Stock of wool are
not excessive. as some announcements
from sundry sources indicated they
were. Farmers should keep in touch
with reliable sources of information
as to prices before selling their wool
to insistent buyers who may wish to
make big profits, advises Mr.. Will
liams.
For a number of years farmers and
prazers in Eastern Louisiana have
been pooling their wool in order to
attract reliable buyers. Little disap-
pointment has been experienced in
this section of the state by reason OF
low prices. Although more wool was
consigned last year than in any pre-
vious year, the cooperative sales al
Amite, Ponchatoula, Abita Springs
and Franklinton were satisfactory tc
the farmers.

and use of uniform new bags attrac'
substantial buyers and enable thu
farmers to insist upon top prices fol

clip last year by the Government ha
resulted in more emphasis bein'
placed on grading than ever before
