The Nitrate Agencies, New Or

tons of 16 per cent guaranteed acid
phosphate, which they are offering

bags, at price of $24.00 per ton

The rice farmers and sugar cane
growers who have been little slow
about ordering all the fertilizers they

get several tons of acid phosphate
will do well to notify the agent as
soon as possible.
Our soil is deficient in phosphoric
acid, and this is cheap form Of
obtaining same. Experiments have
proven that acid phosphate gives bet

sugar content of the cane, also that

LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICE.

Miss Lucy w. Perkins enjoys the
distinction of having been longer in
service of education than any teacher
in st. Tammany parish, and of hav-
ing survived the vicissitudes that are
now turning many teachers into
stenographers and clerks. she be-
gan teaching in 1880, having pri-
vate school in Madisonville,, receiv-
ing her first appointment in the pub
lie school in 1884. In those early
days of public education the teacher
received the small compensation Of
thirty dollars a month. Out of this
sum Miss Perkins provided her own
quarters to teach in, furnished the
room and paid for the hauling of the
furniture. At the same time She
had to hustle with an average. at
tendance of fifty-five pupils.
If you were to tell school teacher
to-day that she must pay rent for
the school room, provide everything
and pay expenses out of her salary,
what would you say? We do not
like to record our thoughts.
