FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By r. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

During the past few years ex-
pertinent station workers have
proven that close spacing of cot
ton gives larger yields than wide
spacing. Even on rich Missis-
sippi Delta land cotton spaced
eight to twelve inches in the row
yields more than any wider spac-
ing. Cotton stalks three feet
apart in the row may occupy all
the space but will not. even un-
der ordinary boil weevil condi-
tons. produce as much cotton as
close spacing.
Poisoning the boil weevil by
applying calcium arsenate three
or four times during the season
has yielded an average of ap-
proximately three hundred
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
The cost of poison is about six
dollars per acre, while the cost
of labor and buster varies much
for an estimate at present.
Where other conditions are fav-
orable to produce half a sale or
more per acre except for the
weevil poisoning will no doubt
prove a wise investment. Where
the weevil has never been bad. or
where the prospect is for less.
than half a bale per acre due to
poor land or other causes poison
ing would probably be done at a
net loss. / have a hand buster
suitable for the use of one man
poisoning up to fifteen acres
which / shall be glad to demon-'
strate the use of to any person
who has never seen one and is
contemplating the poisoning OF
weevils this season.

The country must be prepared

ton at San Francisco nominate
President Wilson for a third term

tor from Illinois, told Kansas
Democrats, gathered here in
state convention tonight.
The country must be ready :"
he said. to see the convention
at San Francisco put Wilson as
it's candidate before the nation
as a protest against the treaty
of peace being tortured into a
pact of revenge Of nations, as
license Of murder of men and
command for raids and invasions
upon oppressed and suffering
peoples. :
If the Democrats are to oppose
the League, he suggests as suit
able candidates William Ran
dolph Hearst from the east. or
Senator James A. Reed from the
vest. President Wilson has re-
fused to create a party admins
tration, he declared, and has
kept Republicans in Office. Now
he said these captains of politi-

 ] Building, Loan Pun

'The Proposed Federal Building Loan Bank System'' was the topic of the paper read by Charles O'Connor Hennessy, Chairman Legislative Com mittee, U. s. League of Building and Loan Associations.
 The place filled by the cooperative building and loan associations of the United States in the solution of the housing problem may be apprehended quickly by the fact that there are about 5000 of these institutions with resources, consisting of mortgages upon the small dwelling houses, az gregating more than s2,5O0, 900, ,000. 1ected statistics of the secretary of the United States League of Local Building and Loan Associations, it may be stated that not less than 500,000,000 a year is now being in vested by these associations for the purchase or erection of small dwell ing houses. The type of citizen and the type of dwelling to which this great thrift agency is related may be inferred from the fact that the aver age mortgage loan negotiated through these associations is about $2,5OO.
 There can hardly be a doubt that { the building and loan associations of the United States, with a member ship. now approaching 5,000,000 per- sons, ~are the ideal insrume talitieS among all the financial institutions of the country for aiding the small home seeker to attain his mbition. Com posed of what might be designated as mo common run of American citi- sens, managed with extraordinary economy and efficiency and supervised by wise restrictive legislation in the various states they are doing a. work Tor the encouragement of systematic thrift and the promotion of home owning that cannot be duplicated by
