A TRIBUTE TO YOUNG MEN IN
NEW ORLEANS.

Bernard McClosky and Esmond
Phelps, city campaign managers for
John M. Parker, made the following
statement:
"We wish to pay tribute to the
scores of splendid young men, who
from early morn to late at night
guarded the polls in the interest of
John M. Parker in the toughest pre-
cincts of this city. Though greatly
outnumbered by the Ring bullies,
who attempted to intimidate them,
and in number of instances assault
ed them, they stood unawed and in
sisted on the enforcement of the law
The credit for the maintenance of
order at the polls is due to them,
and not to the young men who slipped
tea with the Mayor at the City Hall.
or to the police, who not only failed
to enforce the law, but also actively
violated it in many instances. This
entire community should realize the
debt of gratitude it owes to these
courageous and patriotic fighters in
the cause of freedom"

PLAN FOR AN ALL-YEAR-ROUND
GARDEN.

The large number of small home
gardens to be found in some sections
OF the state are good illustrations of
what can be done toward having an
all-year-round garden. The occas-
ional deserted and weed-covered
plots present a sad contrast, and
makes one long for the day when
all our people will appreciate the
value of a continuous supply of fresh
vegetables.
Begin to make your plans now for
good spring garden. Hot-beds
should be constructed when one de-
sires to get an early start with to-
matoes, pepper and other hot-weath-
er plants. Such seeds as are not On
hand should be ordered. The gar
den soil, as soon as it Is in workable
condition, should be broken, harrow
ed and laid off.
On the lighter or poorer types OF
soil, Well-rotted stable manure can
be worked In to advantage during
these operations. Planting programs
should be worked out, but of course,
management OF the hot-bed will be
the main care for several week.

The Parish Fair Association
Holds Meeting and
Elects Officers.
]. H. WARNER
AGAIN PRESIDENT
Treen Advises Removal of
Wolves From Cattle by
Simple Process.

The Parish Fair Association elect
ed officers for the the ensuing year.
as follows: J. H. Warner, pres,-
dent; c. e. Schonberg, vice-presi-
| dent; Karl Treen, secretary and gen.
eral manager; E. G. Davis, treasurer;
w. P. Minckler, financial secretary,
the latter being new Office recently
created.
The president reported that he had
secured option on ten acres Of laad
adjacent to our race track mad aero
plane field. The directors authoriz-
ed him to close the deal. The aero
plane field will be prepared for use
not only during the Fair but as an
Air Station the year round. New
and larger cattle and horse barns
will be built. A move is on to erect
a Woman's Building.
AS last season was a good one for
our fair, under adverse conditions,
it is confidently expected that this
years fair will by far eclipse any
fair held here in every department.
The secretary promiess premium
list in February, so the people will
have ample time to plan and pre-
pare exhibits. Many changes and
improvements will be made to the |
premium list this year. The fair is |
mainly an agricultural institution. |
The farmers are the ones to be bene- |
fitted most by it. They have been
in other places. The St. Tammany |
farmers should plan right now to
take large, active part. Then they
too will derive benefits.
The natural and otherwise meritei
optimism which the officers hold con-
cerning the 1920 fair is heightened
by the fact that Slidell promises her
hearty cooperation this year. She
has four directors on the board who
will be notified of every meeting OF
the directors, and we are counting on
material help from Slidell in making
this the best parish fair in Louisiana
in 1920, maintaining our lead over
The other parish fairs last year.

The most bitterly fought election
in the history of Louisiana, unless
the lottery fight be excepted, closed
Tuesday evening, January 20. Prob
ably nc harder fight was made in
the parish than in the third ward at
Covington. Both Parker and Stubbs
campaign committees had listed
every voter and used every means
to bring him within the fold, with
the usual result that both have an
idea that there are quite number of
liars in the third ward. There was
no disturbance and no rough work
of any kind reported. The election
was quietly and fairly conducted at
the polling booth, and boxes from
the country wards came in On much
better time than usual.
There was but one ward (the 5th)
that gave Stubbs a majority, the
vote being, Parker, 50; Stubbs, 112.
Slidell (the 9th ward) was the BAN
ner Parker poll. The vote was,
Parker, 223; Stubbs, 66. Parker
carried so parishes, and Stubbs II.
The ring majority in New Orleans
was cut down to less than 1000.
j. E. Glisson made a remarkable
run for clerk of court. Without SUP
port of any kind save his own ef-
forts, he canvassed the parish on
foot, his campaign expenses being
less than $40 He was beaten by
w. E. Blossman by 315 votes.
1t is whispered that evidence has
been secured in one case of vote-buy
ng and that prosecution will follow.

St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1920-01-24

Letters of congratulation have
poured into the Parker headquarters
and The Item and The TIP. have
been congratulated from all parts Of
the country for the fight made in the
interest of good government and
clean politics. Senator John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi is among
them. Also, Chas. H. Brough, gov
ernor of Arkansas; Senator Hiram
w. Johnson of Washington; Frank
P. Glass, publisher of the Birming-
ham News; The Denver Post, of Den
yer, Colorado; John C. Shaffer, If
Chicago; The Bulletin, of San Fran
cisco; VIM. S. Kenyon, United States
Senator from Iowa, and VIM. Ran
dolph Hearst.
An amusing incident Of the elec-
tion Tuesday night was the fact that
no response could be gotten either
from the Stubbs headquarters or Toe
Daily States late that night. Park
er headquarters in New Orleans was
on the job and kept busy answering
inquiries and giving out Parker ma
jorities, but the Stubbs people had
evidently pulled the cover over their
heads and gone to sleep. Finally
phone message came to Mr.. Morgan
from the Covington Stubbs head
quarters inquiring for news of the
election. When asked who it was
Mr.. Morgan said, "Heintz" During
the day Mr.. Heintz had exhibited va
rious wonderful kilograms of 1900
majority for Stubbs, and one young
man named Smith persisted in TAX
ing several five dollar bets that
Stubbs would win, even after the re-
turns had virtually decided for Mr.
Parker.
Several thousand dollars changed
hands in Covington.

GOOD SEED,

Governor (Elect) Parker spoke of
the great importance Of good seed.
1t costs as much OF cultivate plants
from poor seed or to cultivate a poor
stand of plants as to attend to a
100 per cent stand of good plants
which have inherited good qualities
and will make the best fruitage. To
insure these results, first, select from
your growing and matured plants
which possess the best qualities, and
then preserve the seed carefully uu-
til next planting season; or, second
ly, purchase seed from reliable
source, varieties suited to your soil,
climate and market demands. In
this connection, / wish to say that
half-and-half cotton is tabooed and
will be cut in price this fall below
other short staple cotton.
Since there are many ways thru
which the vitality or terminating
power of seed may become lessened,
as by immaturity due to early frost
or diseased parent plant; insects, as
weevils; mold, caused by damp at
mosphere in winter, or diseased con-
dition Of the seed; unreliable seed
dealers from whom seed may ,be pur-
chased; broken seed, due to thresh-
ing Or shelling machinery; foreign
or weed seed mixed in with good
seed, and since it is impossible to
detect many of these faulty condi-
tions by mere examination, and, fur
ther, in view of the fact that a free
and reliable microscopic and germi
nation test can be- had by the Stata
College, it is unwise to
plant untested seed.
The Agricultural Bureau of the
Covington Association OF Commerce
will be glad to receive samples of
any variety of garden or field seei
for testing, forward this to the lab
oratories, and return the official re-
port to the farmer. Farmers and
gardeners should take advantage Of
this offer as losses may be prevented
or profits doubled. If you contem-
plate buying some seed it would be
wise to request fair asmple which
you could have tested before buying
your requirements. AS this test
requires from one to three weeks,
depending on the termination period
If the seed, growers should take ad-
vantage of this offer early.

WET AREAS CONTAIN THE MOST
FERTILE SOIL.

Wet areas in cultivated farm lands
usually are the most fertile when the
soil moisture is properly controlled,
because generally they are depres-
sions into which more or less of the
richest soil from surrounding feds
has been washed. Farm drainage
transforms these unproductiVe places
into highly productive Land, thus in
creasing the profitable area and the
acre yield, while removing obstacles
that increase the time and effort re-
quired for farm operations.
