THE GREATER FARM COLLEGE

1t is gratifying to Louisianians who
have long felt the need of modern,
thoroughly equipped and scientifical-
" conducted agricultural college, to
see SO much interest manifested in
the Greater Agricultural College
campaign presently being conducted.
Enthusiasm is being aroused over
the college in every parish in the
state, and it is now beginning to ap-
pear as though Louisiana will soon
have an agricultural college in which
the progressive citizens will have ev-
cry reason to be proud.
MANY st. Landrians see the Won
derful advantages that will be Offered
in the scientific education OF our
farm youths along agricultural lines,
and as a result the campaign, headed
by that eternal live-wire booster, l..
i. Souires, is receiving the common
dation and cooperation of leading
farmers and business men of this par
ish.
Too much activity in the campaign
can not be shown by our citizens. st.
Landry is one of the parishes which
win derive the greatest amount OF
good out Of the college. Hundreds
of our boys and girls, DESTROYS Of &C
curing a higher education in the
science of tilling the soil and manag-
ing farm, viii be given the opor-
tunity. of their lives by attending a
free school, which win represent an
initial investment of over three mil
lion dollars.
Contributions are sought to con
duct the campaign and as SO many
of our citizens have shown a dispo
sition Of cooperation with the com
mite in charge Of the campaign, We
would strongly urge that they SEM
in whatever they can contribute t.
the cause without delay.

Opelousas, La, Oct. Is, 1919.
Editor of the Star-Progress:
The opposition to Mr.. Parker is en-
deavoring to camouflage the issue.
Observe the headlines in the States
If this morning-"Parker Did Not
Paw His Poll Tax in the Year 1903"
This makes me tired. 1t is silly and
nonsensicaI. What does it matter
whether or not he paid his poll tax
sixteen years ago? That is not an is
sue before the people. The issues
presented them are: Is Mr.. Parker
qualified to be governor; are his poll
cies sufficient? Fifty thousand white
men certified to his qualifications IN
1915, when he was running outside
the party, against the democratic
nominee. Seventy-five thousand OF
them will do so this time, now that he
is candidate within the party and q
member thereof. This answers the
first query. That his platform Is
sound, the country voters will attest
With them, as with him, the question
is: "Shall the ring be maintained o.
shall it be destroyed?" New Orleans
is Bhermanized, the country parishes
are determined not to be. "Ihe rims
must 60" is the slogan of their cry
And it must go, whether or not th'
candidate of their choice paid hi
poll tax sixteen years ago. The rint
must GO. The ring is going. Hence
these various attempts to camouflag'
the real issue before the people.
Yours truly,
GILBERT L. DUPRE.

tons where the disease is not present.
2-If the disease occurs on one or
two small plots only on plantation,
it is advisable to destroy this cane
Immediately. On number of plan
tations in the state small shipments
of diseased cane were received last
year, these in most cases planting
only part of row. If plants from
this seed are the only ones that show
the disease, it would be advisable to
destroy them. It would be well also
to observe the cane in the adjoining
rows and if any suspected plants are
seen, these should be cut. 1t is not
necessary to burn the plants, merely
cutting them with a hoe is sufficient.
3-On plantations where the dis
ease has been present for some time,
pick out portions of the field that
show none of the disease for plant
ing purposes. With only few ex-
ceptions, on the plantations that have
been visited by an inspector portions
of some fields could be found that
did not show the disease. By all
means these portions should be used
! for seed purposes. If seed from in
fected fields is used it is only a mat
ter of a year or so until the disease

will become general.

ABNORMAL DEATH RATE
IN THE YEAR 1918

The rate of mortality the life in
suranee companies had to meet in
1918 was about 80 per cent greater
than in 1917 and IA per cent greater
than the average death rate for a
score of years. This great advance
was due mainly to the influenza cpl
demic, the ravages by which cOntinu-
ed during several months of the cur
rent year. Thirty-eight life insurance
companies reporting to the. New York
insurance department were called up
on to pay for death claims and ed
dowments about $93, 100000 mere
than in 1917. The increase in death
losses paid by legal reserve companies
was approximately $12S,O00,O00 in
the United States and Canada-main-
" due to the influenza, on lives I'M
der age so. To meet the exceptional
mortality the surplus funds of legal
reserve companies as they stood at
the end of 1T were depleted more
than $37, 100000 Normally the in
crease Of surplus should have been
about $4,000, 900, indicating di-
rect draft on surplus of about $77,-
OOO, 900, owing to the abnormal NOR
tally. Fraternal orders having linn

Young Carlo came to this coun-
try with his parents in 1891, living
in Evergreen, La, until about fifteen
years of age, when he moved with
the family to this town. He received
a comon school education in Ever

He leaves besides his father, sub

In such situation, is it likely that every clothes
maker and every clothier will be "fussy' on the

ready market for it, is it likely?
Perhaps you have never before looked into the
source of your clothes; never before thought It

Often at inspections it is customary
for officers to pass by the sergeants,
merely giving their equipment cas-
ual glance, assuming. no doubt, that
as they are more experienced sold ers
than the privates, their equipment Is
In proper condition. AS a result of
this it sometimes happens that the
sergeants allow their rifles TO get in
rather poor shape. That some Off
GERS are alive to this is shown by a
young second lieutenant, who, after

handed it back to the luckless private.

THE POWER OF A
TEN DOLLAR BILL

Consider the power of a ten
dollar bill when it is spent at
home. 1t works like magic. 1t
circulates. 1t pays off hundred
obligations. 1t creates business
and puts people to work in our
community. But the ten dollar
bill that is sent away to the out
ot-town house does nothing for
our town. 1t becomes dead to us.
1t is out of commission forever as
tar as our town is concerned. We
never see it again. Let us, tn.n,
give power to the money we
spend. LetA us remember that
our best investment is that power
money we spend at home.
DO justice to your city by trad
ing at home. It's money that
you spend at home which makes
your city prosper and at the same
time means more employment
and bigger business. The mer-
chants of Yerington are prepared
to serve you faithfully and well.
They are deserving of your pat
ronage.
