Club Boy Trebles Fathers Yield.

Club Boy Trebles Fathers Yield.
Frank Martin, cotton club boy
OF Lafayette parish, last season pro-
duced 921 pounds Of lint cotton
| (slightly over two bales) on two
acres, while his father produced four
bales on twelve acres, according to a
| report made by this young man and
verified by " A. Guidroz, assistant
parish agent. Frank sold his cotton.
Tor $3.50, making a net profit of.
$29O.05. He distributed his cotton
seed among neighboring farmers at
a low price to encourage the use Of
improved seed. With part of the
proceeds of his crop he paid for
heifer calf which he received in
shipment from Wisconsin last fall,
and has money enough left to buy
three more heifers.
The following is Franks story Of
how he made his large cotton yield:
Z Aii viz lai1 l. plOWGu lily ldElu deep
ly. In about month l again plowed
it, but this time not so deep. I har-
rowed it, thoroughly pulverizing the
soil. 1t was then ready for planting.
l planted Wannamaker Cleveland de-
Tinted seed. Just before planting
applied two hundred pounds Of com
mercial fertilizer per acre, which cost
ten dollars. Father and the neigh
boring farmers told me that was
losing money by using this fertilizer.
but father did not object to me carry
ing out my wishes. The distance of
the plants on the row was about four |
teen inches. Father thought this was
entirely too close. cultivated my
cotton very often, which was kept up
until maturity, following the instruc-
tlons given me by the boys club |
agent and my agricultural school I
teacher"

Market Infertile Eggs and Save
Losses.

Produce infertile eggs and thus
contribute toward the saving of the
S15, 100000 lost annually in egg
spoilage, advises H. L. Williams
poultry specialist, extension division,
Louisiana State University.
"The male bird kanning with the
flock makes the fertile egg. The
blood rings and hatch spots very
quickly develop into rotten eggs.
Upon whom does this loss fall? 1t
falls on the farmer or producer. Do
not get the idea that they are loss
to any of the dealers who handle
them. The dealers are not in the
business for health's sake; they get
a legitimate pri sfeut Of the eggs
regardless of how many bad ones are
sent to the dump pile. The loss is
taken care of when you receive one
half to one-third Of the price the con-
sumer will pay for the eggs.
"The bulk of this enormous loss is
borne by the southern farmer, due
principally to the warm climate and
to the fact that the northern and
western farmer has Rng ago learned
the value of producing infertile eggs.
If you wish to verify this statement,
interview any large wholesale dealer
in eggs. You will find that car of
Iowa or Minnesota eggs will bring a
premium of from to 12 cents a
dozen over car Of Alabama or Mis-
sissippi eggs

SOLDIERS MAY RETURN SOUTH.
Splendid Inducements Offered Under
Bill Pending in Congress.

Kenneth A. McRae of Omaha, Ne
braska, member Of the national leg
isiative committee of the American
Legion, spent few days in New Or
leans recently. He expressed conf
Gerce that congress would soon enact
the Fordney-Smoot bill, which en-
bodies recommendations of the Amer
ican Legion for assisting ex-serVce
men in obtaining homes. He explain
ed that under the proposed law thert
will be four options to select from.
"Under the land settlement plan,
option No. !, for instance, a former
soldier, who has sVan one year o =
365 days of active service, will be en-
titled to credit Of s1.50 per day o
$547.50. To this he may add as fiv
years working capital $1,000 b0r1
rowed from the government foi
stocking his farm with animals and,
improvements, making a total work
ing capital of $3247.50, of which he
must pay five per cent in cash for
the land and the remainder in forty
years.
"ShouId he elect to accept OPP
ton No. 2, for the purchase of a
home or small tract Of land near the
city, he will receive a credit Of 81
per day, or total of $3.50 only;
whereas, if ne wants what is erro-
neously thought to be the popular de-
mand, or a cash bonus under option
A, he would receive $3.50 per day or
total of only $547.50.
Thirdly, vocational training will
be offered to all men who prefer it
and a credit Of $3.50 per day for
every day served will be allowed for
expenses during the period Of train
ing If the entire credit is not used
up while training, the remainder will
be paid in cash."
1t is generally believed that the in
ducements offered under the pro-
posed law, coupled with the move
ment for land settlement which has
been started in the south through
the leadership of the American
Legion, will result in bringing back
to the farms large number OF young

cient funds in the city Golfers made
this impossible.

the hospital association were explain
ed to the veterans by William Nc
Gilchrist Jr., chairman Of the cam

Salem Homebuilders Company Starts
Battle for Relief From House Shortage

The Salem Homebhilders Invest

business. and is ready to accept con-
tracts with prospective builders for
the erection of dwellings, according to
an announcement made today by E.
w. Hazard, president. All applications
should be made to- F. A. Legg, secre-
ary-manager, at his offices in the
Murphy block, corner State and Com
mercial streets. it was announced.
1t Is understood by officials of the
company that number of persons
have been waiting for the announce
ment of the company that they are
ready to accept business in order to
avail themselves of the unusual op-
portunities the firm offers.
The announcement today of the
readiness of the company to begin
business is the elimination of four
months hard work by public spirited
citizens in arriving at some plan and
means to relieve the housing short
age in the city. This four months has
in no way abated the critical house
shortage condition in Salem, and it
is expected that the demands on the
company will be strong, especially
when weather conditions permit
building.
The birth of the Salem Home
builders Association dates back to-
October when The Capital Journal,
realizing that something must be done
to keep immigrants here if Salem was
to grow and prosper, began an active
campaign for building. Several private
and mass meetings were held and sew
eral home building plans were discus
sed, with the final result that the con-
stitution and bylaws Of the present
firm were adopted and numerous citi-
zens purchased stock in the enter
prise.
The officers, all reputable business
men of the city, who are back of the
movement lends assurance of its sue
cess and sane business conduct. The
officers are: E. w. Hazard, preident;
Daniel J. Fry, vice president; Williaml
Walton, treasurer; +. A. Legg, secre-l
tary-manager. The board of directorsI
is composed of j. w. Chambers, DAM
