What promises to prove one of the
|most interesting collections Of Junior
Extension exhibits at the 1920 State
Fair OF Louisiana, October IS to No
vember 7, inclusive, will be those en-
tered by the Boys and Girls Dairy
Clubs. These clubs form new
branch OF the Junior Extension service

terest manifested in different sections
of the State. the work Is going to en-
joy wonderful expansion within the
next year or two
Among the exhibits on which pre-.
miums have been offered are butter,
sweet milk, cottage cheese, dairy work
records, and homemade conveniences
for handling milk on the farm. Some
of the exhibits will be shown espe-
cially to stress the Importance Of milk
in diet and the necessity for it for
growing -children--Thsre is great
deal OF waste, but by using the
methods taught in the Dairy Clubs the
farms can utilize milk and milk prod
ucts that are now considered OF no
value.

BANKS TO HELP RICE GROWERS
Agree to Back SIS Per Barrel as
Minimum Price for Southern Rice

| About thirty bankers of south
west Louisiana who are interested in
I the rice industry, met at Crowley
ment to aid the planters in securing
fair prices for their crops. The
agreement provides for the financing
! and carrying maturings paper of the
farmers now held by these institu
rions so that the rice may be market
ed in an orderly way and at as little
loss as possible to the growers. The
1920 crop has been produced at
very high cost and at the prevailing
prices many farmers will not make
expenses.
The agreement in question contains
the following stipulations:
'First-The recent drop in prices
Of all staple commodities has carried
rice with it to a point far below the
cost OF production to the average
farmer.
Second-Thc 1920 crop has been
financed and in another week will
practically be in the warehouses in
splendid condition.
"Third-We believe that there is
/! point below which rice should not be
sold.
"Fourth---The Southern Rice Grow
ers' Association has frankly met the
SITUATION by setting Il price Of SIS per
! barrel foT No. / and No. 2 Blue Rose
as basis price for the 1920 crop in
order to admit Of d large domestic and
an export movement.
'flfth-We, therefore, represents
! ing the financial interests in the rice
agricultural territory Of southwest
Louisiana advocate and will sustain
plan to stand behind movement to
support the basis price set bv the
Southern Rice Growers Association of
$5 per barrel No. | and No. 2 Blue
Rose
we believe this price is so far be-
low cost to the farmer that in order
to protect all interests, we respect
fully urge all farmers, bankers, mer-
chants, Warehousemcn and millers to
stand by this figure Us the basic price
for the 1920 crop.
'SiXth-We favor and suggest the
Southern Rice Growers Association
collect cents per barrel from every
one Of its members towards an ad-
EcrtlSlng fund for rice and that every
miller who buys rice outside of the
association should condition his pur-
chase on cents per barrel being de-
Quoted to go into the advertising
fund We believe that advertising
and demonstration is for the crux Of
of the whole situation in the move
ment Of this crop.
"Seventh-We will view with dis
favor any farmer who sells his rice
below this basic price.
''IGiGhth---We will also view with
disfavor any miller who attempts to
buy rice below the figure named.
''n.v;nth We will view with special
| disfavor any farmer or miller who al
ter this date, contracts to mill rice OF,
toll
"Tenth-We will lend every as
sistance possible in financing and
carrying maturing paper now held by
us so that this rice crop will be mar
keted in. an orderly way as fast as
the mills can get the rough into clean
and into consumption demand"
The above resolutions were signed
by thirty bankers Of Lake Charles,
! Crowley, Jennings and other south
west Louisiana towns.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, food, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food.
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80,
there was an average Of four disasters
q month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities In
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1900 were Injured,
10000 were made homeless, about 30
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $10O000,000 and al
most S1,0O0.O00 in relief funds, not In
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup
plies, 40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens- and as many
emergency hospitals One hundred
and twenty-five Red Gross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely

SWINE SHOW AT FAIR
TO DRAW MANY HOGS

With e. L. Jordan, professor Of ami
University, in charge as superintend'
ent, the general Swine Show at the
1920 State Fair of Louisiana, October
22 to November 7, will give the visit
us an excellent idea Of the advance
ment this section 70 the country is
making In raising fine hogs. The
Judging will be done by J. J. McLain
Of Anna, Texas.
Competition in this department Is
open to the world, and many herds
from other states as we'll as many
from Louisiana are expected to be
represented in the exhibits. Ground
for this expectation Is given by the
reports and Inquiries reaching the
Fair Association. The premiums are
the most abundant ever offered at the
State Fair, and this is proving espe-
cia1ly interesting to the prospective
exhibitors.
In addition to competing for tempt
ing premiums, exhibitors will have the
privilege of offering some of their
stock for sale and receiving good
prices therefor. Each Fair attracts
livestock breeders who are anxious to
improve their herds and to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
both at private and auction sales. In
other words, buyer and purchaser are
brought together and, as result, the
herds OF this part Of the country are
improved and those making the sales
are rewarded by the financial returns
they receive.
That Louisiana is well adapted for
the raising of fine hogs has been thor
oughly demonstrated. Many have gone
into the business during the past few
years, due especially to lessons OBJ"
tanned at the State Fair, but there Is
still room for extension Of the indus
try. and the exhibits and sales at this
years Fair will no doubt help in bring
ing on some of this improvement

The primary election held recently
in St. Joha parish to nominate a can
didate for sheriff to succeed the late
VIM. J. Hart, has been declared il
legal, null and void by Judge Fred.
A. Middleton of the 28th judicial dis
trict court. In the said election
Emile A: Picou defeated VIM. B.
Hart, a son of the late sheriff, by
eight votes. Hart filed a contest, al
leging among other things that the
ballots used had been printed by the
parish committee and not prepared
by the secretary Of state, as required
by law. The case has been appealed
to the supreme court. Should that
tribunal uphold the decision Of Judge
Middleton, another primary will be
necessary.

the house, it is stated, volunteered to
show Mrs. Walter where the black
