Let's lay our plans for fifty bush

twenty-five bushels of wheat, and NOT
less than one bale of cotton per acre
on every acre cultivated. Let's also
cooperate in getting and breedin-
the best cattle. sheep and hogs and
then cooperate in hutchering the cat

farmer may have for himself and fam
ily fresh beef or mutton whenever
desired. How hungry we sometimes
get for fresh beef or mutton while
perhaps our neighbor has them and
can't sell them. II we all had them

Let's also plan to operate in the

DUCK SEASON NOVEMBER
Big Hunting Preserve at Mouth of
River to Be Opened to Public.

With the opening of the duck hunt
ing season November l, America s
choicest duck-hunting lands, at the
mouth Of the Mississippi river, will
be thrown open to the public as the
"Pass-a-Loutre Shooting Grounds
announces NJ. L. Alexander, commits
sioner in charge Of the Louisiana
State Department of Conservation.
More than 10000 acres of superb
hunting grounds comprise the tract,
which is the first public duck hunt
ing preserve in the south and the
largest in the United States.
Governor Parker, just back from a
cruise Of inspection of the tract, has
approved the project warmly, and
says that at the next session of the
he will have a bill intro
duced forever dedicating this land as
a public hunting preserve. One great
lagoon in its heart will also be dedi-
Gated as a wildfowl sanctuary, for
ever barred to the hunter; thus guar
anteeing the source of supply of the
sport.
Public club houses and screened
and will be completed when the hunt
ing season opens. The preserve is
seventy-five miles below New Or
leans, accessible either by launch
from New Orleans, or by the lower
coast railway along the west bank
from. Gretna to Buras, and by boat
from Buras.
The preserve, estimated worth
100000, is all new" land created by
accumulations of silt from the Mis-
sissippi river. On maps, it shows as
the open water of Garden Island Bay.

vate preserve at Chateau Canard.

To Destroy Boil Weevil.

While poisoned molasses mixture
does exercise certain degree of con-
troll over the boil weevil, it is gen
erallv less than that secured with
plain busted calcium arsenate, ac-
cording to experiments conducted at
the state laboratory at Tallulah, La.
Under certain conditions, it was
found that much better degree OF
control was secured from the mo-
lasses than with the calcium arse1ate
but this result was noted only IN the
case of very small cotton plants aver
aging only few inches in height,
and also during exceedingly dry
weather. The latter fact was par
ticularly noticeable and is probably
the keynote of this variation in re-
suits. 1t seems quite probable that
during exceedingly dry weather the
weevils visit droplets of molasses-
water mixture for the purpose of Sc
curing mixture, but do not follow
this practice to as marked degree
during normal weather. In other
words, the results so far indicate that
busted calcium arsenate is superior
to the molasses mixture except dur
ing exceedingly dry weather and on
very small plants.

TOO DRASTIC FOR RANSDELL.
Louisiana Senator Explains Why He
Quit Prohibitionists.

In the course of an address deliv-
cred in the United States Senate in
opposition to the anti-medlclne beer
bill, when it was up for consideration
last Tuesday, Senator JOS f. Rams
dell of Louisiana, said n part: .,
II regret that l am obliged to part
company with my prohibition friends
and vote against this measure in its
present form. As a sincere believer IN
prohibition and one who has proved
his faith by his works, [ appeal in my
prohibition brethren not to insist on
these radical provisions IN regard to
medicine, but to amend the pending
law, so as to accomplish desired re-
suits without going to this extreme.
Far more good will come from fair
lust, reasonable enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment under laws
which we have a clear right to pass,
and which would be respected if
enacted.
GAS a layman, do not assume to
say that doctors should ever prescribe
malt liquors to their patients, or that
cne-half a pint of alcohol in ten days
is not sufficient amount in the
most extreme case; but have not the
slightest hesitation in saying that
these matters should be decided by
doctors, not by lawmakers.
"The point at issue is that the
pending bill seeks to regulate the
practice of medicine insofar as the
use of Intoxicating liquors is con-
cerned and the constitution does not
furnish the slightest authority for so
doing. Hence, if l vote for the bill,
ardent prohibitionist as l am, it
would be violating my oath to obey
the constitution.
Moreover, l am forced to the con-
clusion that aside from he constitu-
tional character of this provision, it is
unWise, radical in the extreme.
'"Ihis amendment forbids doctors
from prescribing malt liquors of any
kind, such as beer, ale, porter, mead,
etc, and it Limits the amount of any
vinous or spurious liquor which a
doctor may prescribe, both for etcr-
nal and internal use, to not exceeding
one-half pint of alcohol for patient
within perlou of ten days.
The legislator in this act assumes
the province Of the doctor, says that
no malt liquors can ever be prescrib-
ed, and that no matter how critical
the case, nor how much alcohol may
be required, under no circumstances
can more than one-half a pint be pre-
scribed for any patient within ten
days.
II am unable to find any authority
in the constitution for this invasion
of the rights of the medical profess
sion, one of the oldest, most highly
respected and honorable of all the
learned professions.

Picric Acid at Low Price.

$4,000 pounds of the twelve and
cne-half million pounds of pierre acid

eminent to farmers at very low
price for use in clearing land and

or through the parish agents, for the
picric acid, the price Of which is sew
en- cents pound f. O. b. Wingate, N.
n. It will be shipped in carload lots
and the freight should not exceed
three cents a pound. Not more than
1000 pounds will be sold to each farm

100 pounds to the box These six
ounce cartridges are equal in eXplo-
sive power to eight-ounce cartridges
of dynamite They are exploded by
fuse and cap, the same as dynamite,
and being slow in exploding, are very
desirable for blasting. The price at
which the picric acid is offered farm
ers is less than one-half the price Of
dynamite, and is stronger explosive.
The picric acid offers a much cheap

TO TAX ALL SECURITIES.
Utah Senator Wants Constitution
Amended to Levy Income on Bonds

Senator Smoot of Utah wants the
constitution of the United States
further amended SO as to enable Con-
gress to levy and collect taxes on in
comes derived from securities such
as state and municipal bonds. He
figures that the government is losing
annually s700,00O,00O in revenue
because of the enormous investments
of the people in these tax-free Sc
curities. His proposed amendment
reads as follows:
congress shall have power to levy
and collect taxes on incomes derived
from obligations issued or created by
a state or any political subdivision
thereof, after ratification of this arti-
Gle, without apportionment among the
several states and without regard to
any census or enumeration.
In explanation of his proposed
amendment, the senator said: "The
enactment of some such provision is
absolutely necessary if the govern
ment IS to collect any material
amount of taxes in the future from
persons of large incomes. The pur-
chase of these state and other Sc
curltles, which are exempt from fed
eral taxes by the wealthy of the coun-
try, has been practiced to such an
extent already that the government
revenues from annual incomes over
100000 is almost disappearing.
Mr.. Smoot declared that while
there were no means of telling the
exact total of the issue of the tax
exempt securities in the class that his
amendment would reach, he believes
that it will reach more than S20,-
100000.

Saves Lives of Many Fish.

A rescue expedition that has al
ready saved the lives of more than
100000 splendid game fish in this
state, is now operating over 400
miles of Louisiana's rivers between
st. Joseph and New Orleans. Sum-
mers receding waters have left hun
dreds of thousands of these game fish
stranded in the shallow pools in the
barrow pits along the levees, beneath
a blazing sun. Unless taken out and
placed in live streams, these fish are
doomed to die, an almost irreparable
loss for this summers fishermen and
next years stocking of streams with
game fish. Black bass, Dream, crap
pie, and other sunfish and small bass
or perch" buffalo and catfish form
the bulk of the stranded victims thus
rescued for the hooks of Louisiana's
fishermen and the tables of Louisi7
