CLOSED CAR IDEAL
 CAR FOR ALL YEAR

"The widespread popularity which the closed types of car have attained during the past year if proof of their greater utility and comfort" says Billie Walters of the Edwards Motor Company, local dealers in Chevrolet passenger and conn mercial cars.
 Tt was only few years ago that the sedan and coupe, as well as all other types of closed cars were considered more of luxury than anything else
 This was due to the fact that they were looked upon as distinctly winter cars.
 'The idea of adopting them for year round service, in both town and coun- try, never occurred to many pNople out side the professional classes, who, find- ing them ideally suited to their needs were quick to take advantage of then many advantages.
 But gradually the greater measure oI utility and comfort that the closed cal affords in all seasons was impressed upon the public. Their numbers began to null tiply rapidly until today the closed car is as commonly used all months of the year as the open car
 This is especially due to the fact tha' these cars have been made available 1T economical types through the medium ol quantity production.
 "Closed cars were formerly regarded as too heavy to run ineXpensively, they can now be had in correct weight de- signs that cost as little to operate as the least expensive open cars.
 Quantity production methods have placed them within the means of practi- cally everyone at a price that includes many refinements.'

WHY WE CULTIVATE

We cultivate crops to keep down
grass and weeds and to promote rapid
growth of the crop. The first work
ing Of the crop may be three or four
inches deep, but after that, as a rule,
cultivation about one inch deep is
much better for the crop for the rea-
son it does not cut off the feed roots
of the plants. The large heel sweep
or the harrow or the one or two horse
cultivator with wide shovel, cleaning a
row at a time and cutting about one
inch deep at time. gives much better
results and does much more rapid work
than the turning plow or solid sweep.
The turning plow is out of place in a
crop. unless the soil is devoid of veg
etable matter and runs together after
heavy rains. and unless it rains for

REASON FOR KEEPING A
MULCH ON THE son

The reasons for keeping a mulch on
the soil are seldom given. The main
reason Is TO stop the rising soil mois-
ture just at a. depth where there are
are most plant roots to utilize ii. We
are all familiar with the moist state of
the ground beneath the plank or board
that has lain in one position for some
time; still it may not have occurred to
us why it is so.
Now let us see if we cannot reason
it out. The soil is composed of very
small grains arranged among them
selves in such way as to form minute
capillary tubes that connect the bot.
tom layers of the soil with the top
layers. The water in the soil passes
up through these tubes to the surface
where it is evaporated. Now if we
place broad plank all over the sur
face of our cultivated fields, it would
be impossible for the water that Is
brought TO the surface by capillarity to
evaporate. Such a method is not at
all practicable. but we can and do i'm
itate this method BY spreading dust

COLONY NEWS AND CO.
OPERATOR OFF THE PRESS

The monthly magazine, the Coop
orator, has been Incorporated with the
Colony News (monthly) and Is off the
press now. 1t will be published regu-
larry now. and will be an interesting
magazine.
First, the Western Comrade, pub
hshed in California, was the Colony's
champion of the cooperative idea. The
move to Louisiana made the Comrade
no longer western" and the name wis
changed to The Internationalist: 1t
reached the stage of being the best
magazine in the field, printing 48 pag-
es of new, live material, when an ar
bitrary postal ruling censored an issue
and threw chaos into the wheels. The
Co-operator was founded to take its
place, but it never fully recovered
from the postoffice blow.
The name Co-operator will still be
carried in the magazine, but the name
Colony News will stand for a while.

mulch over the top Of the soil. In
other words. shallow cultivation breaks
off the little tubes through which the
water escapes. A single cultivation in
dry weather is not sufficient, for as
soon as the soil settles again. these lit
tile tubes become reestablished and e.
again commences; hence
the reason for constant cultivation, pre-
ferabIy shallow cultivation until the
crop is laid by or made. The air on
the surface creates constant suction
from and through the soil that if not
cut off in some way, humanity would
be deprived of at least one-half Of its
crops, if not more.

the turning plow to STIR the soil or to
clean out grass and weeds late in the

Your Turn Has Come to Back Your

The LIano Colony is now in the best
shape it has ever been.
This means both financially and socially.
We have spirit Of success among the peo-
pie that can be felt. 1t is upbuiIding, up
lifting.
The crops are in splendid shape. We have
nearly 50 acres in sweet potatoes which
should yield at least 200 bushels to the acre.
The colony contracted in 1917, when we
came to Louisiana, to purchase huge tract
of land, nearly 10000 acres. We are to buy
1000 acres at time. and we get the deed
to what we buy, so that it is ours and cannot
be taken from us should we fail to make fu-
ture payments.
We pay only So per acre for the land.
10 save interest and to save us the worry
of finding the money to meet these payments
we offer you the chance of cooperating with
us on the following plan, which secures your
money with splendid land.
his land contains not only some of the
best farming land. but also some fine TIM
Der. Some of the farm lands have already
been promised to nearby farmers at SIS an
acre. The timber is worth from $40 to $50
an acre and upwards for the hardwoods. On
most of the land there is second growth pine
worth. in some places, up to SIS an acre.
We do not want to draw on other re-
sources to pay for this land. To do 50 would
hamper us in other operations, would handi-
cap us in carrying out this years plans. So
we are calling on our friends. We do non
want to deal with capitalists if we can avoid
it. So we are offering proposition which
we believe will be attractive to our friends.
We are offering them the opportunity to be-
GIN cooperating right now. This is not

ators.
