FOR ELIMINATING PLAGUE.
Health Service Plans Ratproofing
of Buildings and wharves.

Standard plans for ratproofing BUSH
ness buildings, dwellings and wharves
are being drawn up by the public health
service as part of its campaign to stamp
bubonic plague out Of the country The
plans are to be furnished to states and
cities for incorporation in building codes.
"While bubonic plague is under con-
troll in this country, there will always be
scattered infection until the rat can be
exterminated.'' said Surgeon General
Cumming.
According to authoritative estimates
there is one rat for every one person in
the United States. To maintain this
huge number of rats costs the people
, Of this country approximately cent per
person every day for rat food, an intoler-
able and unnecessary burden for the
people to carry"

they must do SO. II some instances
the desk and book cases are not

In the fifth ward the schools are

In the ninth ward l have again

THE GREATER AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

Baton Rouge, Feb. 17.-Prosperi-
ty and financial success are the
things that most people are striving
for at this time, and this should also
apply to our ambition for our state.
Louisiana can never measure up to
the high standing she should have
by right of her wonderful natural re-
sources until some provision is made
for up-to-date agricultural develop
ment. The Greater Agricultural AS
ISOLATION Is now working out plans
for a statewide educational cam
paign. A Greater Agricultural Cole
lege Will mean the proper agricul-
tural training and inspiration Of our
young men and women, resulting
ultimately in prosperous AMI happy
rural ohmes, good roads, better
schools, and the real and lasting i'm
provement Of every part of the state.
The Association is promised the CO.
operation of the Commercial Asso-
Citations, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs,
Women's Clubs, ministers and trav-
cling men. We are going to have
Greater Agricultural College, but We
want the backing of the entire state
in this important enterprise. Help
us arouse the interets Of the child
rem in agriculture and stock rails
ing; the interest Of the women in
the splendid living conditions made
possible by scientific agriculture.
The wonderful results obtained by
the vocational agricultural schools
throughout Louisiana in the last
year point the way to what may be
obtained through a Greater Agricul-

PLANT QUICK-MATURIN FRUIT.
DO SO BEFORE SPRING
SETS IN.
(by DR.. w. l.. ctevenson)
SETS IN.

Different varieties Of figs, man
derines, qumquats, peaches and
dwarf pears planted in the same gar
den will produce a succession OF
crops over a long period. They do
well locally. In the language Of a
farm demonstration agent, this SOL
is the best yet for figs and grapes.
Young trees are liable to damase
from frost and insects, but the dam
age does not extend beyoW the
ground, and the old root system
brings new trees into bearing in a
few months.
Hardy, quick-maturing fruits rec
commended are: Plums, persimmons,
mulberries, blackberries, pomegran-
ates, crab-apples, grapes, scupper-
nongs, strawberries and raspberriea.
To illustrate their less known uses,
the Tuskagee Experiment Station
has issued a bulletin entitled, 90 )
Ways to Save the Plum Crop" aid
the federal government shows meth
DDS of drying, sailing and preserV-
ing persimmons, and of making pre-
serves, wine, pickles and vinegar
from pomegranates, grapes and soup
pernongs. Other uses are as sher-
bert, soup, lozenges, dumplings and
short-cake.
The despised mulberry is a Valu-
able food for chickens and hogs, and
a splendid filler for blackberry pre-
serves and pies, as 1t can be added
to the more costly blackberries i'll
large proportion without altering
their taste or appearance.
Failure with the raspberry locally
Is general, but the secret is, mulch
and never cultivate" Get particu-
lars, and plant this lucious and
profitable fruit.
Most plants grow from cuttings,
and no acquaintance growing them
will refuse to give you some. There
is here no item of cost. Plant few.
Also get some rooted plants. OF
pears, the Chinese Sand is the most
blight-resistant. OF Japan persim
mons, the Tane-Nashi Is the only one
that will fruit without the near
presence Of a special pollen bearing
tree.
Utilize fences, walls and door
yards for fruit-bearing vines, such
as grapes, blackberries, sweet scent
ed pocket muskmelons, climbing
watermelons, and for hybrid vege-
tables that partake Of the nature of
fruit, as cherry tomatoes, small
fruited gourds, and balsam pears.
Rank growing food producing and
shade giving vines are the Guinea
Bean and Mirliton vegetable pearl
The bean is larger than mans arm.
There are probably fifty-seven ways
of utilizing the Mirliton. A Coving-
tonian has grown $50 Mirlitons,
worth 10 to rs cents each, on one
plant. To interested St. Tammany-
ties I shall be glad to give a few
bean seeds.
