FRANCE GIVES LAND,
 LOANS SOLDIERS COIN

PARIS, May 15. - Here is the French plan for putting it's soldiers on the farms in the department of the Loire: Twenty to 25 acres is to be al- loted to each ex-soldier within certain ages who will agree to remain at the head of his farm 10 years. To each will be granted up to S3S6 for the pur- chase of implements and equipment for farming, to be refunded within 15 years. It children are born after talk ing the farm, parts of this loan are to be refunded in proportion to the num- Der of children.

LEVINE PLAN FOR REQUESTING MONEY NOT NEW, HASN'T CHANCE TO SUCCEED

all governments must do as he is in- tending Russia shall ue.
 Will they do it? No sane person would answer affirmatively.
 If the experiment of commun-
 ism ever is to be tried out in a
 big way it probably is we'll the eX-
 pertinent should be made now and
 in Russia. No great nation offers
 such advantages to the commun.
 ist and no man has a better op-
 portunity than Lenine.
 He realizes this fact. He says Rus sia is agricultural and it's wealth is of the earth, not of the factory. He proposes that Russia shall feed Flu rope and Europe shall furnish to Rus sia the goods Russia requires. He has started to restore the agricultural wealth Of Russia by increasing the production per acre. In order to do this he has taken over the mammoth agricultural implement plants. Few Americans appreciate that Russia is far ahead of any other European cOun- try in this department The Interna- tional Harvester company has eight big establishments in Russia. Its Moscow plant is as big almost as its biggest in America. Last year it charged off to profit and loss the s21,- 100000 it's Russian plants had cost.
 Horses and cattle are scarce in Rus gia fn means to make the machine to do work of the farm. He means also to increase the production of wheat greatly thereby. Russia in normal times averaged nine bushels to the acre. Recently it has fallen to five bushels to the acre. It is possible to increase production to 15 bushels within a few years.
 Means Bringing All Men
 to Very low level
 The richest farm land in Europe is in the Ukraine. The sugar pToduc- tion there could supply most of Eu- rope if the disorder ended and men got back to work. The Caucuses is an agricultural wonderland, but is as backward as Africa. Parts of Siberia offer large opportunity agriculturally and otherwise.
 In his scheme of building Russia up from the foundation of the farm Lenine is wise but otherwise his pro- ject is crazy. It can bring nothing but chaos. It means the bringing of all men to one level-a very low level It means death to enterprise, initiative, development. It means suppression to ambition and almost to aspiration. It means turning back the world to the age of crudity.
 Russia has the reputation of being the most graft ridden land in the world. Graft is an established institu- tion, recognized, accepted and not con- sidered bad form. What opportunity

 Lenine says Russia will be a work mans paradise. Anyone who wishes to enter this paradise should start at once to avoid the rush.
 A land of 1S2,0O0,OOO persons with out money, all to start as equals and remain as equals, with no one to re, ceive more compensation than the ord mary worker and to purchase only by the product of his days work; with all factories, farms, stores and utilities owned in common-that is the Utopia Lenine holds out to view.
 Possibly some persons who believe money is the root of all evil would prefer to stick around where they can get to the root.

Ration Porpo To DOT

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 25.
The number of students from St.
Landry in attendance at the Louisi-
ana State University this session re-
fleets credit upon the people of the
parish as well as the authorities con-
nected with the school work. With
twenty-five young men and women,
st. Landry is near the top of the list,
being outstripped by only a few of
the more populous parishes, such as
Caddo, Rapides and East Baton
Rouge.
The parish is well represented in
all departments of the university.
Several will complete their work dur
ing the present session land one, Oc-
tave Castillo, is doing graduate work
in the Audubon Sugar School Oc-
tave, or, rather, Soap" as he is ia
miliarly called by the students, has
accepted an offer from large con-
fcern in Jamaica and will take up his
work in January.
Lorena Hidalgo, of the Teachers
College, and J. R. Caldwell of the
College of Agriculture will receive
their sheepskins at the end of this
session. Guy White is junior in the
College of Engineering.
The majority of the young men are
in the military department and their
standing and the records they are
making speaks well for the early
training they received in old St. Lam
dry. Several Of them hold positions
of honor in their respective compa-
MES. Emile Ventre, who is a must
clan of no small note, is a sergeant
in the Tiger band; Alfred Guilbeau,
Tom FiTnberg, John Boagni and Hen
ry Castillo are corporals in their COM
panies. During the drill hour these
efficient young squad majors can be
heard giving their commands in stem
torian tones to the sections assign
ed to them for instruction. An es-
pecial honor has been, conferred up
on them, inasmuch as they are only
in their second year at the university.
There are others from all sections
of the parish who are doing good
work, but space prevents me from go
ing further. However, st. Landry
should feel proud of the scholarship
and ability these young people are
showing, and the people of the par
ish should do all they possibly can to-
wards aiding the campaign for a
greater State University.

PRUNING HELPS DESTROY
THE TENT CATERPILLARS

Everyone has noticed the tent
caterpillar which not only infests
shade trees but do a great deal of
damage to furit and pecan trees.
These tent caterpillars eat the
leaves and weaken the trees to such
an extent that the fruit, or in case
of the pecans the nuts, drop off,"
says B. Szymoniak, associate horti-
culturist, extension division, Louisi-
ana State University. "The tent
caterpillar moth lays the eggs in the
fall placing them on the ends of the
twigs. The egg masses can be prun-
ed off while pruning the home or
chard as soon as the leaves drop
off this fall or early winter. In
case the caterpillars are still feed
ing, the leaves should be sprayed
with solution of arsenate of lead
diluted in the proportion of one
and oEe-half pounds of powdered
arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of
water"

LOCAL BEE KEEPER TREATS THE
SCIENCE OF APICULTURE IN BRIEF
John NJ Ware Gives Few Essential Facts Concerning the
Handling of Bees for the Production of Honey
Large Stakeholder Ways Have Been Applied
Art Almost Old Humanity

It is said that the bee has more his
torians than any nation on earth.
They have been studied by scientists
and wise men from the early ages.
The honey made by them was the
first and only sweet of the ancients.
Sugar and other modern sweets are
in reality substitutes. Honey is =
pre-digested food and is the only
sweet which retains the natural min
erals and is the only one which
great many invalids and persons of
delicate stomachs can eat.
The keeping of bees is very in
teresting and in some sections very
profitable occupation The profits
depend upon the manner and atten-
ton given them and the quality
of honey producing plants within
distance of two or three miles.
There are many varieties of bees
but those known as Italians are gen
orally conceded to be the best. One
who knows how to manipulate them
can start with a single colony and, in
a single season, increase them to four
or five-in fact, as many as twenty
has been obtained
1t would be waste of time to keep
bees in anything except what is call
ed the "patent" hive. These are good
srtong boxes and all should be of the
the same exact size in an apiary.
There is the eight-frame, ten-frame
and twelve-frame. Some beekeep-
ers use even larger ones. The eight
frame has gone out of date Bees
swarm too much when kept in small
hives and it is very important to re-
duce the swarming to a minimum.
Too much swarming reduces the num-
Der of bees in a hive and it requires
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1919-11-08

big, strong colonies to gather much
honey. Other methods besides the
use of large hives are restorted to to
subdue the swarming proclivity. The
main hive, we will say, contains ten
frames about Is inches long and 8
5-8 inches deep. This might be call
ed the S'living room," or nursery,
where the raising of young bees
should be confined, and where the
winter supply of honey for the bees
is kept No honey should ever be
taken from this apartment, as it
should all be left for the bees to sur
vive on until the flowers come in the
spring.
When this time arrives, the top of
the hive should be taken off and a
queen excluder" laid on top of the
hive and another hive, known as
super" placed on this. The "queen
excluder" is a sheet of perforated
zinc. Some are made of small lat
eral wires. The spacing of these
wires, or size of the perforations, are
of such a size as to permit the work
er" bees to pass up from the lower
hive into the "super' above. The
queen, being larger than the worker
bees, she can not pass up and in this
way there is never any young brood,
or larvae, in the combs from which
the "bee man" extracts his honey.
When this super is nearly filled out
with honey, it can be lifted off, set
to one side and another empty super
put in its place and the nearly filled
super put back on top. This can be
continued until the fall honey flow
is over when all the supers should be
removed, set to one side and what is
called 'bee escape" board placed
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1919-11-08

over, or on, the queen excluder, /"
then all the supers put back in their
places. The bee escape board has a
trap in the center through which the
bees can pass down but can not pass
back up. Bees never "sleep up
stairs" unless there is young brood
up there, and there will not be with
the queen excluder" on. So when
night comes on and the bees get
ready to retire" they will all pass
down into the lower hive and as they
can not get back up the "bee keeper"
can, next day, take off all the honey
filled supers and remove them to his
extracting house without taking any
bees along with him.
There is almost as great differ
ence between the prosperity of fam
lilies, or Colonies" of bees as there is
between families of the human race.
The writer has some colonies which
the past season yielded twelve or
more gallons of extracted honey;
while some did not yield more than
five gallons.
All the old, experienced bee keep
ers agree that it all depends upon the
queen-the mother of the family
and here they can again be compared
to the human family, as believe that
all good and fair-minded men will
concede that the financial, as well as
the moral standing of human family
depends in very marked degree up
on them other-the queen of the
family.
