WANTS FARMERS PAID

A bill introduced in Congress on
Friday by Congressman Caleb r. Lay
ton, authorizing and directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay GER
tain farmers in New Castle county the
amounts awarded by the United States
Court here for the land condemned by
the Government in connection with
the construction of the Marlin-Rock-
wen Loading Plant, at Port Penn, was
referred to the committee on claims.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Layton asks for total of S32,-
27O.9O. There are 26 individual claims
itemized in the bill. Mr.. Layton made
an effort to have this amount insert
ed in a bill before the House a few
weeks ago, but was unsuccessful at
that time. Should this bill become a
law it would be Of great benefit to
great many of the farmers of New
Castle county, as it is impossible to
restore this land so that it will be-
come productive for farming purposes.

DOES NOT EXPECT ANY
TROUBLEN DELAWARE
COMMISSIONER ROPER SAYS DELAWARE
HAS C0-0PERATED HEARTILY IN
PROHIBITION OBSERVANCE.

Delaware will be an easy State t
manage from a prohibition point o.
view, Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Roper on Tuesday predicted
/ Mr.. Roper said he was convinced the
| prohibition commissioner in that State
would have his task greatly eased
through the cooperation OF loyal cit
I izens who believe the law should be
enforced and who are prepared to
habituate themselves to the absence
of the saloon.
Il have no anxiety about Delaware, "
said Mr.. Roper. Il wish l could say
the same of other States. Delaware,
according to reports reaching this Of
fee, has anticipated the operation of
the Eighteenth Amendment and al
ready has habituated herself to the
absence of the saloon. This is the
right spirit"
The commissioner said it was natur-
al to expect some evasions of the law
would occur. even in Delaware, but
they would be very few and far be-
tween. A watch will be kept on the
coast line to prevent suspicious craft
landing suspicious cargoes.
Delaware" continued the commits
has given the bureau very
little trouble. The State behaved
splendidly during the period of war
time prohibition, showing an earnest
purpose to cooperate with the gov
ernment in its efforts to conserve the
energy of the nation. From other
States we have heard a great deal
about personal liberty and the rights
Of individuals, but the people of Delo-
ware simply adapted themselves to
The new order and accepted without
what Congress declared to
be for the general good of the Repub-
ic. 1t is this kind of spirit that wins.
)f course, the prohibition commission
II will have plenty to do without at
ending to violators of the law. To
supervise the legitimate distribution of
llcohol is in itself a task of no easy
character"

Dear Editor:
Mrs. Kirk, our parish demonstra-
ton agent, asked me to write you
about the canning club here in
Washington. was very grateful to
her for the privilege.
This is the third year we have had
canning club here in our school and
each year we enroll more and more
members until the trite saying, 1--WE
eat all we can, and what we can't we
can" has become true one of us.
This years members seem especial
" interested and willing to do hard
work.
1t will soon be time for the plant
ing of our tomatoes. Some of the
members have already planted their
seeds in hot beds and cold frames,
which were made by them under the
direction of the home agent. They are
now up. After we transplant them
our time will be taken up with stalk
ing and pruning until the fruit is
matured.
Last year we prepared hundreds of
cans and jars, not of the tomatoes
alone, but of fruits found locally. One
of the girls alone preserved thirty
five jars of blackberries which she
bought at the low price of ten cents
gallon. We also made and con-
served many glasses of jelly and all
kinds Of vegetables.
Many meetings are held here and
in Opelousas. We all take great
pleasure in attending these meetings
as the work is so we'll illustrated and
explained there.
Our parish pays the expenses of
the club girls who have done the best
work, to Baton Rouge, where they
can attend the short course. Last
year, of the five members selected,
our Washington club furnished two.
This was more than any other club
did. / was fortunate enough to be
one of them, and the trip was a most
delightful as we'll as profitable one.
In the contest held there our parish
came but second in canning.
Our Washington canning club has
done wonderful work in the past. 1t
has handed in to the state splendid
records, but this years club intends
to do far better work. We have full
ly determined to make good our mot
to, ITO Make the Best Better"
l thank you for allowing me this
privilege.
Yours truly,
SHIRLEY KELT.

Our members last year realized
enough money from club work to pay
her expenses to the short course given
in Baton Rouge.
We have also learend how to de-
louise the chickens, cure disease, can
die eggs and prepare the solution to
preserve eggs.
The high price of eggs this year has
caused many people to realize the
value of raising their own chickens,
and with all the knowledge of the sub
ject that we are securing through the
medium of these clubs, we will soon
be able to at least teach granny
how chickens should be raised.
/ thank you for your kindness in
allowing me to write concerning our
club.
Truly yours,

DAIRY LETTER
DORIS F. PLONSKY

Washington, La, Feb. %, 1920.
Dear Editor:
/ have been asked to write let
ter telling about our dairy club. |
was only too glad to do so, because |
would like to tell of our club here in
Washington.
We haven't been organized long, but
yet we have been able to accomplish
a great deal. We now have about
fifteen members, and strange to say,
there are more girls than boys. The
women are indeed starting to do
mems work in the world, and we girls
are determined to secure better re
suits than the boys.
We have all cleaned and prepared
shelters for our cows, for we realize
that nothing can thrive in unclean,
unhealthy surroundings.
Most of us are using Jersey cattle
for our work, or those mixed with
Jersey.
Mrs. Kirk, our agent, has given us
our note books and we have collected
pictures of the different breeds of
dairy cattle to place in them. Even
those to whom formerly COW was
just an animal for giving milk, can
now tell Jersey from a Holstein.
We have also learned from the dia,
grams furnished by the teacher the
points that 60 to make up good COW
We can now judge those we may have
to buy for our work.
The dairy club has created great
deal of interest here in Washington
as heretofore we have all been toe
careless with animals which Were
serving us so faithfully. This coupled
with the facts that we are all inter
ested and are willing to work, will
aid US in making the whole of st
Landry parish partial Heaven, fol
it will be land flowing with milk
if not with honey"
l hope that I will have the oppor
tunity of telling you more about Oul
club work when we have accomplished
more. thank you.
Yours truly,
LOUISE MONTGOMERY.

POULTRY LETTER

Washington, La, Feb. %, 1920.
Dear Editor:
/ am very much interested in the
poultry club and wish to let some Of
the other clubs in the state know Of
what we have done in Washington.
Our membership this year consists
of thirteen hard working, interested
pupils. We did not have our first
meeting until January. At this meet
ing we elected our officers. | was
chosen president and Shirley Kelt, an
other eight-grader, was elected sec
rotary. We are determined that UNI
der our leadership our club shall be
raised to the highest standard so
that it will take first rank in the par
ish.
Some Of our girls and boys are
second-year members, so, therefore,
they have the different coOps for
protection of the chickens. Those of
us who were not so lucky are busily
building ours.
We can easily obtain pure-bred
eggs here in Washington which will
make it possible for us to begin our
work at once. The people, very kind
", allow us these eggs at half price
for Matching purposes. We use the
mother hen, as no one has an incu-
bator. Some of the members have al
ready set their hens, and two girls
have secured broods of little biddies.
The other club members have pre-
pared nests that are close, cOmforta-
bic and situated in dry places.
Most Of US have planned to use
Rhode Island Reds. We have studied
the pamphlets sent us, and learned
how to tell the different breeds, and
how to improve our chickens.
We have also tested the properties
of many different kinds of chicken
feed, so that we might know exact
" what food values our chickens are
getting.
We expect to make enough money
to justify our expenses, as well as to
pay us for our expense, and as well
as to pay US for our work.
