START COLONIzING
At ELIZABETH, LA.
EIGHTY-ACRE BLOCKS WILL BE
SOLD ON LONGTIME
. PAYMENTS.
COMPANY TO BUY ALL CROPS
Will Not Attempt To Put Raw Prod
ucts On Market-company Will
Help Finance Improvements
Made On Land.

New Orleans Ambitious plans
for colonizing cutover long leaf pine
land at Elizabeth, La, are being put
into operation by the Industrial Lum-
Der Company of that town.
The company has holdings of more
than one hundred thousand acres of
land, with three sawmills, located at
Elizabeth and at Oakdale. This dis
tricts is in the middle-western part
of the state of Louisiana, in the heart
of the long leaf pine section.
The plan of operation which the
company has prepared is as follows:
The land will be sold in blocks OF 80
acres on long time payments. This
land will be c1Aared of trees and
stumJ, leaving only enough wood
land on each tract for pasturage.
Roads will be built, each tract to face
a good highway. The company will
help to finance the improvements. Elk
pert agricultural advice will be at the
service of settlers, in planning of
crops and in caring for them.
A feature Of the plan which has not
accompanied other schemes of cOloni-
cation is that the company will buy
all the crops and do the marketing IT.
self. 1t will not attempt to put the
raw products on the market, but has
built a potato drying plant which is
already in operation, and promises
that Gaming factories and such other
industries as are needed will be built
to care for future crops.
A recent government report, which
representatives of the lumber COM
pany quote, said that the section
around Elizabeth was one of the best
in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Officials say that the Industrial
Lumber Company is firm in snnounc-
ing that all possible aid will be given
its colonists, the aim throughout be-
ing to establish permanent citizen
ship, and to make the fertile section
the producing territory it should be.
The company is bringing its coloni-
zation scheme before northern people
who might become interested and is
aruging that the mild climate of the
south, plentiful rainfall and nearly all
year-round growing season should
prove an irresistible appeal to the
small land owner and tenant farmer
of the North.

How to Grow Potatoes In the Dark.
An English farmer has discovered
a new way of raising new" potatoes
of unusual delicacy of texture and
flavor. This is his discovery: He left
pile of old potatoes heaped up in
dark shed and forgot them for a time
When he finally remembered them. he
thought they would be spoiled. but
he found that instead of being de-
cayed as he expected, they were
each surrounded by small white po-
tatoes. After discovering this he be-
gan experimenting with more old
potatoes, which he placed on some
small potatoes about the size OF an
English walnut surrounded them. The
best of them were selected and COOK
ed and were found to be OF navor
superior to new potatoes" cultivated

headquarters in the National Cosmo-
politan Baptist Church have been an
nounced by Rev. S. p. W. Drew, secre-
tary of the committee in charge.
In a letter sent out to delegates IT
is stated that the purpose of the con-
gress is TO bring about "a reconstruc-
ton through the assemblage of earn

ors and conditions who will appeal to
God to bring about return of peace.
''Profiteering continues declares
the letter. ruthless riots are taking
place in all parts of the world. dishon-

religion is being crucified."

potato will be covered with small
white points, which change. a few
days later, into rapidly growing po-

sonable size they should be removed.
This leaves the old potatoes, from
which. in a few weeks. a second crop
may be gathered and there may even
be a third, since the budding con-

Herbs for Cooking.
A home with even small strip of
land should find a place for growing
herbs to use in cooking. A plant

should have a place. as well as sum :
