While operating disc harrow
on his farm with a heavy iron
clad crusher attached to his ma
chine, King Henderson, forty
years old, a highly esteemed rice
farmer living about three miles
frim Iota, La, fell under the ma
chine and was instantly crushed
to death.
The Crowley Daily Signal, in a
recent issue, says that colored
laborer employed by Mr.. Hender-
saw saw the accident and ran to-
ward his employer. AT the same
moment, Mrs. Henderson too. saw
the accident from her window and,
leaving her nine months old baby
in the bed, ran to the assistance
of her husband but she was too
late She tried to life him but
the strain was too great and she
tainted. Neighbors cared for her
and bore the body of her husband
to the house.

NOTICE TO FARMERS.


It is thought by the State De-
partment Of Agriculture that some
farmers who live on the outside
Of the Pink Boolworm quarantine
area of this State NAV be using
cotton seed for planting purposes
which originated within the IN
Tested area. For this reason the
Department desires to warn III
cotton farmers that such seed
should not be planted but should
be burned. and other seed secured
for planting purposes.
Cotton seed which is considered
dangerous III respect to spreading
the Pink Boolworm may be seed
which has been saved from gin
ming seed cotton within the in
Tested area and then taken back to
the uninfested area; cotton seed
obtained direct from all infested

If such seed as above mentioned

that the Pink BoclWorm viii gain

thereby endangering the cotton

the Department urges all who are
interested in the eradication Of
this cotton pest to be sure that
the seed which is being planted is
not from an infested area.
IF in case any farmer has al

nature the Department requests
that he notify T. Slack, Inspector
