Plan to Save the Sweet Potato Crop.
Sweet potato growers are urged
to make provision for saving
their crops by erecting storage
houses or converting abandoned
tenant houses, barns or ware
houses into potato houses. Plans
and specifications for erecting
such houses or for converting
abandoned buildings into storage
houses can be had free of charge
by writing to the Horticultural
Department, Extension Division,
Louisiana State University.
A farmer in Washington par
ish built a sweet potato storage
house last fall, stored and held
his potatoes until spring and then
sold them for three time the
price he was offered at the time
of digging. He not only got
back the cost of his house but
made a profit of 100 per cent on
the investment for the year and
still has his potato house for sue
ceeding CROPS.
Another farmer, in a nearby
parish, converted a horse barn
into a storage-house with good
results, while still another made
the same use of an abandoned
tenant cabin.
AS the sweet potato increases
in value as a money crop for Lou.
isiana farmers it becomes more
important that it be protected
from rotting while in storage.

The peachcrop is a whopper,

may not be true as to Louisiana,
it is encouraging to know it is
true as to most of the States,
and that canned and dried fruits
are to be plentiful and compari-
lively cheap.

Dipping Watts in Grant Dynamited and
Otherwise DESTROYED.

Dipping Watts in Grant Dynamited and
Otherwise Destroyed.
We learn that several dipping
watts in the interior of Grant par
ish have been dynamited and
otherwise destroyed, as a mark
of the anger of the people of
those localities against being
forced to dip their cattle. 1t is
to be regretted that we have to
record such acts in Grant parish,
as our people have usually been
patient and law abiding un der
all conditions and endeavored to
carry out their desires by legal
means.
The wanton destruction OF
property or the shooting OF an
innocent Inspector is no way to
correct an evil, and besides it is
liable to get the perpetrators
into serious trouble. We hope
since the legality of the dipping
law is to be tried by the courts
we shall hear no more of such
high handed acts.

Bitter Weed is Easy to Control.


Does the milk from your cows
taste bitter? Probably you are
aware that this unpleasant taste
to the milk is caused by the cows
eating the weed commonly called
the bitter weed" which is dis
tributed generally over Louis
lana. You may not know, how
ever, that this weed can be
easily controlled, which is done
by regular moving.
The bitter weed is an annual
which comes from the seed every
year. Two years of moving, so
as to prevent them from going
to seed, will completely elimi-
nate them unless the seeds have
been blown IN from nearby fields
and pastures. The seeds are not
generally scattered by the wind,
however, so it is not a difficult
matter to control this pest. If
the weeds are cut about three
times during the summer. 80 per
cent or more will be destroyed
the first year, say the specialists
of the Extension Division. Lou
isiana State University.

Camp Beauregard Base Hospital Needs
Investigating.

Owing to the bitter complaint
of A. G. Lewis, a tuberculosis
patient im the base hospital at
Camp Beauregard. that he could
get no proper or nourishing food
for an invalid, his father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. J. P.
Lewis, of CoIfax route 2, had
him removed to the home of his
sister, Mrs. Hardy Bush, in Pine
vile, on Wednesday of last
week.
Inquiry among the Is or 20
patients at the hospital developed
the fact that they were being
starved for the lack of food that
they could eat and digest. The
nurses say they can only furnish
such FOOD as is provided by the
commissary sergeant. If the
commissary sergeant has no bet
ter judgment than to furnish a
lot of sick people with the same
coarse food furnished healthy
soldiers he should be removed.
The Red Cross, of Alexandria,
or other authorities competent tc
look into this matter should see
that it is Investigated. This
great u. S. government is GER
tainly wealty enough and should
be keenly interested to see that
men who have scrificed their
health and offered their lives in
its defense should be kept in
comfort and not be punished ir
their declining days.

Injunction Proceedings Against Cattle
Dipping.


Last week we made notice of
a petition seeking to enjoin the
Grant parish authorities from
requiring any further dipping of
cattle this season. The suit is
brought in the name Of H. L.
Irwin ct ais VS.. the police jury of
Grant parish. The injunction
was served on John Randolph,
president of the police jury.
Wednesday, August l3, and is
vet to be tried by the court. The
substance of the injunction is
against paying out any further
sums of money in connection
with the payment of charges,
costs, ETC., relative to the dip
ping laws of the State, except
such as exist at the time of the
service hereof"
This injunction will quite likely
put a stop to cattle dipping in
Grant parish for this season. as
it cannot be tried until the Octo-
Der term of court. and by that
time the season for dipping will
be over. This will set at rest a
most vexatious problem that has
annoyed and troubled the police
jury as well as large number
of our citizens who are consider
ably wrought up over the propo-
sition, all of whom will feel
greatly relieved to have the mat
ter set at rest for a while by
legal means.
In this connection we wish to
say that this injunction by legal
proceeding is the only way dip
ping should be fought or OPP
posed. We are sorry to hear of
our people taking part in illegal
and lawless measures and laying
themselves liable to prosecution
for destroying watts or shooting
inspectors. There are always
peaceful and legafmeans of pro-
ceedure. ana it is a hundred
times better than to use violence
and incur the penalty of the law.
