COTTON ASSOCIATION ACTS.
Committees Appointed to Urge Pink
Worm Legislation.

At meeting of the state committee
of the Louisiana Division of the Amer
lean Cotton Association held May T.,
two committees were provided for to
look into legislation in the interest
of the cotton industry. One commit
tee, composed of Harry D. Wilson,
Paul D. Perkins OF, Calcas1eu, M. C.
Williamson of Eas Carol, w Fl.
Hodges, Jr., Of ST T akhhst fport, Grl1ndy
GUuner nf EapaIEs I. Nj zlEaorasf ods,-
son Of Orleaus, will confine its effort
to legislation concerning the pink boil
worm infestation in southwest Louis
lana. Information given the commit
tee by Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Wilson,
indicated that the amount Of COM
pensation required for the cotton far
mers of Cameron will not be as great
as at first supposed.
The other committee, to be COM
posed Of seven members, will be NAM
ed later by Chairman Thompson and
will devote its emergencies towards
legislation in the interest Of the cot
ton producer, by endeavoring to re-
alize part of the program Of con-
strucuve effort of the American Cot
ton association. The first great ques-
tion As that Of warehousing. Louis
lana has good warehouse law, but
in the worehouse program of the as
ISOLATION are some features which
may require special legislation. The
n&t question is to have a course in
clifton grading and stapling establish
81 in the state university or Tulane.
i may be possible to accomplish this
without additional expense, through
the operations of the Smith-Huey
federal law. Another question is to
require the railroads to provide shell
ter for cotton on railroad platform
and in yards. Chairman Thompson
was instructed to call conference
with the railroad interests to endea-
vor to have this done without at
tempting to force it by legislation.
The plan for systematic cam
paign of the state by groups of par
lshes was endorsed, and in a few
weeks will be put into effect. Char
5er memberships totaled 322 on April
30, which is almost one-half of the
states quota.
Chairman Thompson was instruct
I'd to Investigate the advisability of
incorporating the state division, or to
lie the original character of the ma
ional association with the secretary
# state; so as to give permanence to
he Louisiana Division.
A vote of thanks to the papers of
he city and the country for their CO.
operation in the movement was ad-
opted.

elect of this parish takes his Office
sometime next month, Louis Leblanc
IF the first ward, who was unsuccess-
full in his campaign for clerk of court
n the January primary, will become
his chief deputy, assuming the posi-
lion which Mr.. Richard has held for
The past twelve years under Sheriff
E. C. Hanson. The selection of Mr..
Leblanc to this important position is
4 very good one and will no doubt
meet with popular approval. Mr.. Le-
Blanc, although a planter by occupa-
ton, has had considerable training
and experience as an Office man, hav-
ing been deputy assessor in Assessor
St. Amant's office for a few years,
and is fully qualified to fill the office
He is a man Of courteous manner and
pleasant disposition and will no doubt
make good and fill the position to
the entire satisfaction of the people
as well as to the sheriff who appoint
ed him.

PARISH FARM NEWS.
Contributed by Bentley Mackay,
Farm Demonstrators.
Potato STORAGE.

The people of Duplessis, La, are
now convinced of the value of the
government type potato storage
house, for last year Vincent Babin
was induced to build fve-hundred
bushel house by the farm demonstra-
tion agent. He faithfully iarried out
all instructions given him and during
the fall stored approximately four
hundred bushels of Porto Rican yams
These he cured with small oil heat
er there being absolutely no rot at all
Although banked potatoes kept un-
usually well this past year there
were enough potatoes lost to pay for
a small storage house on every farm
Neighbors all around Mr.. Babin lost
q great many, and. the year previous
Mr.. Babin himself lost more than a
hundred barrels 5s=ss
Il there had been enough cured
potatoes to fill car they could have
been sold for seventy-ive cents
more per bushel on the New Orleans
market. Furthermore, these same
potatoes could have been shipped to
any market in the United States with
out fear Of loss from rot.
Realizing that it is useless to
grow potatoes on the old scale of
having half dozen varieties mixed
up in their crop, the farmers of Du-
plessis are specializing on the Nancy
Hall and the Porto Rican. They are
also forming a cooperative club and
expect to cure their stock and sell
it at fancy price.
Velvet Beans.
Hundreds of acres Of velvet beans
are being planted in Ascension par
ish this year, and in a great many in
stances are taking the place of peas
Farmers are realizing that velvet
beans at three dollars a bushel are
more profitable than peas at seven.
H. A. Morgan Of Galvez, is plant
ing more than sixty acres broadcast
in his corn. He does not expect to
harvest his corn; but will pasture his
cattle on the beans and corn during
the winter
Approximately forty acres are be-
ing sowed broadcast on the planta-
ton Of Picard & Geismar at Dutch
town, with the idea of furnishing
winter feeding for stock and to de-
stroy heavy infestation of Bermuda
grass. Several hundred acres of
beans will also be planted in corn to
be turned under as fertilizer.

Favor Rail Strike if Necessary to
 Force Demands

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 6.-The gener- al chairman of the maintenance of way employees and shop laborers union, in conference here today, una nimously approved the proposal to call nationwide strike if neces- sary to enforce demands for wage increases and sent word to Director General Hines that action would be deferred seven days pending the outcome of the Washington confer ence.
 The vote was taken after Allen E Barker, president, had adviced the conferees that representatives of the union in Washington reported they saw no chance of agreement with the railroad administration.
 Should the strike be called, broth erhood officials said, their union would act independent of the other railroad organizations. They add ed, however, that employees in oth- CT departments might soon be thrown out of work if roadbeds were allow ed to go to pieces and shop forces were crippled.
 The union heads will remain here indefinitely in the hope that an agreement may be reached before the weeks extension expires.
 The union membership is said to number 300,0O0 and the demands af- feet all federal controlled roads in this country.

Washington. Feb. 6.-Government- G. owned ships built during the war should be and can be sold to pri- vate operators for prices covering the cost, overhead and total invest ment, c. w. Morse. head of two steel shipyards, one in Connecticut and the other in Virginia, told the senate committee today citing the fact that he had bought "A of them for $220 to $225 a ton, and was offering to take 100 more at similar quotations.
 The sharp contrast between his ideas and the proposals put forward to date by the heads of other ship ping concerns at the committee's hearings on merchant marine legisla- tion resulted in lengthy examina- ton in which MT. Morse backed up his views by presenting figures showing remarkable profits his ves- sells are making under present ocean freight rates.
 "We estimate that we get back from 40 to 50 per cent of the total cost of the ship to us in the first year." he explained, adding that this was easily done at present freight rates.
