To Beld This Morn
Annual Sheriff State Tax Sale Will
Be Put on Auction Block this
Morning at IL o'clock

The annual state tax sales will be
made to-day by Sheriff Thibodeaux.
Quite large number of taxes were
for sale by the sheriff and
it is expected that the sales will be
heavier this year than any since the
division of the parish in 1910.
An eleventh hour rush was made on
the tax collectors office by delin-
quents in order to stave off the sale
of their property by state tax sale.
AS usual a large crowd of interest
ed taxpayers, money lenders and in
vestors will be on hand when Sheriff
Thibodeaux starts off the sale at II
o'clock this morning.
Those who have failed to pay their
taxes are given the last opportunity
this morning of avoiding heavy costs
by paying them before the sheriff Of
fers them for sale. After property is
sold for taxes one must pay twenty
per cent additional on taxes and costs
which is usually very heavy penalty
for those who are neglectful.

The old time baseball rivals hooked

to the tune of to A.
The Opelousas boys maintain that
they have better ball club, that had
it not been for "OId Hard Luck" the
game would have been theirs. Until
the sixth inning Opelousas had Eunice
shut out to 0, at that time one of
the fielders let ball loose and allow
ed two Eunicites to run home with
tallies. Shortly after that Alphonse
Clary, one of the best 0pelousas men
broke bone in his ankle and thereby
considerably crippled the team both
in playing and in spirit and Eunice
taking advantage of the situation was
able to overcome the big lead.
A return game will be played here
In few weeks.
Charley Thibodeaux pitched an ex-
cellent game and should have won had
it not been for the mishaps. Charley
Deiean starred behind the bat. whlle
TX Chachere and Charley Dejean were
the opelousas heroes at the bat, both
securing home run drives.

TO ATTEMPT TO RID
ST. LANDRY OF
BOIL WEEVIL
Government Experiment of Eradicat-
ing Dreaded Boil Weevils to be
Tested in This Parish Soon
BUSINESS MEN TO ASSIST
Subscription to Purchase Calcium
Arsenate Dusting Being Taken
By Parish DemOnstrator

st. Landry is going to try to rid it
self of the dreaded boil weevil. A. A.
the alert and active young
farm demonstration has started move
which may bring about great good to
the cotton farmers of this section of
the state. He will conduct expert
ments on the bool weevil and has al
ready received financial assistance
from well known business men.
The federal government has an ex-
pertinent station at Tallalulah and has
been working assiduously with ex-
periments of the cotton boil weevil,
and has at last found that the boil
weevil can be controlled by means of
using calcium arsenate dusting. This
is by no means very costly PROPOSE
ton, and it is figured that seven or
ten dollars will be the cost per acre
to dust with calcium arsenate and the
profit to be derived from the land
treated with the calsium arsenate is
said to be from thirty to one hundred
and fifty dollars an acre. The depart
ment of agriculture recommends the
busting when an infestation of from
fifteen to twenty per cent appears
and that only by persons who will
follow out the recommendation made
by the department.
If the department has found this
to be as effective as it is al
lodged, cotton growers of this section
feel confident that the industry once
proclaimed king" will once more as
sumo the agricultural leadership, and
acting upon the belief that the gov
ernment is correct are backing Mr..
Mendoza in his endeavor to give the
test in this section.
Among the donations given Mr..
Mendoza are those. of the three city
banks, each for twenty-five dollars,
and Of ]. p Savant, J. P. Barnett
and Armand L. Dejean, each for SO.
Contributions are being urged and
Mr.. Mendoza is anxious to have as
many farmers as possible interested
so that the experiment can be given
a fair test, and if successful will i'm
mediately rebound to the benefit of
a large number of farmers of st. Lam
dry.
