Our Colored Subscribers.

We received the first of this week
| Il polite letter and 50 remittance on
subscription from Il colored subscriber
whose postottice is Sligo -A Aaron r.
jeter We call to mind that numbers OF
such letters bearing reMittinceS have
come to this office from this same sub
scriEer, so we have been wondering
just how long he has heen reading the
Banner. We do not know and at the
| moment have no way Of quickly ascer-
tanning. but we do know that his name
has been carried on our subscription
books for long Time
And there are IL number of others
among the celored people in his class
all appreciated subscribers Nancy
Aiken. whose home was near Plain
Dealing. was il subscriber for many
years-ilp to the time of her DEATH
and always sent in a polite note with
her remittance
There's Henry Davis of near Belle
we, another good subscriber Of long
standing Sometimes when he makes
remittance he pays up for two years at
time. and usually refers to the paper
as = the good old Bossier Banner
q. {. Smith, of near Eanceville. is
paid up to january 1. 1922 When last
in the office lie paid up for two years.
and says he doesn't want to be without
the Banner.
Violet Ann Bradford, of Huttig. Ark,
formerly of this place, says the two
dollar price of subscription won't stop
the Banner FROM coming to her home
and that she would still take it if it
were - per year.
\ half dozen colored subscribers of
the Benton community who have kept
their nanes OH our mailing list for
Years are: w. H. Hall. NJ l.. Richard
son, Jesse Byrd. Andrew ". Pearson,
General Adams and Isaac Hall, and
throughout the parish there are many
others. The old subscriber is always
most appreciated by the country pub
llshed. He never likes to lose one. If
all our old c0lored subscribers should
one by one quit us as their dates ex-
plred we should feel disposed to look
a little askance upon our conduct as a

Market Infertile Eees.

Produce infertile eggs and thus con.
tribute toward the saving of the $15,.
| 100000 lost annually in egg spoilage
advises H. L. Williams. poultry spe-
cialist. Extension Division. Louisiana
State University.
The male bird running with the
f1ock 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 III the business for healtI's
sake; they get a legitimate profit out
OF the eggs regardless of how many
bad ones are sent to the dump pile.
The loss is taken care Of when Won
receive one-half to one-third Of the
price the consumer will pay for the
eggs.
The bulk Of this enormous loss is
horne by the Southern farmer. due
principally to the warm climate and to
the fact that the Northern and Western
farmer has long ago learned the value
OF producing infertile market eggs. II
You wish to verify this statement. In
te,rlew any large wholesale dealer iii
eggs. You will find that car Of Iowa
or Minnesota eggs will bring a premium
OF from to II cents dozen over q
car OF Alabama or Mississippi eggs.
How can Southern producers elimi-
nate this loss! There is one way. and
only one: When the Matching season is
over confine, market or kill the rooster
and produce only sterile eggs for mar
ket purposes
