DIRECTOR TO SPEAK
ON SWEET POTATOES

University Station, Baton Rouge,
La, Sept THE question of storing
and curing sweet potatoes is being
widely agitated by Extension Special
lists, as Louisiana is producing the
largest sweet potato crop on record
this year and great losses will be
sustained therefrom If facilities for
caring for the bumper crop are pc
provided. Realizing that THU is
colossal problem and that too much
can not be written or said about It,
w. r. Perkins, director of extension
at the Louisiana State University in
his speech before the interstate farm
congress in New Orleans, September
1917, will dwell mainly on the subject
of storing sweet potatoes.
Mr.. Perkins feels that this will be
most opportune time to call the at
tention of farmers and farm women
to the great necessity for protecting
sweet potatoes throughout the win
er monhs. A large attendance is ex-
pected at the congress, of not only
farmers, but business men interest
ed in the farming industry, and many
interesting farm problems will be dis,
cussed.

COTTON BODY

American Association Convened in
New Orleans for General
Discussion

New Dreams, SSpet.. s.-With the
almost sudden rejuventation of the
cotton market, the importance Of the
meeting of the Louisiana and Miss
issippi divisions of the American cot
ton association on September IL in
connection with the interstate farm
congress, grows, and, indications now
point to a representative gathering
OF producers and others interested in
the cotton industry. Many letters
have come to Mr.. w. D. Thompson,
chairman of the Louisiana division,
indicating an intention to be present

the producers. Cooperative market

Charles E. Levy, New Orleans cotton
factor, who has given much thought
to the subject, has some ideas of an
original character which he will pre-
sent. Warehousing will be discussed
by State Senators, N. S. Williamson
and T. L. Bowling. The boil weevil
and the Louisiana crop will be the
theme of Paul NJ. Potts of Natchito,

Pest control is vital subject, and

RICE FARMERS
ARE BUSY AGAIN
GOOD WEATHER AIDS THEM IN
HARVESTING CROP AND WORK
IS WELL UNDER WAY

A trip last Sunday through south
west Louisiana, from opelousas
through Rayne, Crowley, Jennings
and Welsh into Lake Charles, con-
WINGED a reporter that things are NOV
ing smoothly among the rice growers
all through the section visited. The
hundred miles of territory was COW
cred in a leisurely manner which per-
mitted a fairly close inspection OF
rice operations along the highway.
In many fields the late crop is
ready to cut while in a few that work
is now under way and the grain
stands in shocks ready for the COM
ing of the threshing crew. In one
instance, between Scott and Duson,
we noted a binding machine running
despite the fact that the day was
ESunday. That farmer evidently didn't
intend to let the weather clerk slip
one on him, and he proposed to har-
vest rice while the harvesting was
good.
There never was a better rice crop
grown in this territory than the one
now being harvested. The acreage
is reduced, of course, but the quality
of the grain is excellent and farmers
produced it at a low figure They
are receiving good prices and selling
as rapidly as harvested and threshed
Mills are buying rapidly in order to
fill all contracts they have entered in
to, and as a natural result of this
happy unison between producer and
miller the situation could hardly be
better. The industry is getting back
on its feet in record-breaking time,
all believe, and both ends to the
game are looking forward to much
better times another season. Prices
now are moving slowly but steadily
upward and five dollar rice is just
Faround the corner.

BASILE MAYORALTY
SETTLED AMICABLY
BY BOTH FACTIONS
Two Opposing Candidates for Vacan-
cy Withdraw and Agree to Let sena
tors Select Appointee

The duly elected mayor Of the town
Of Basile resigned recently, thus leaV-
ing vacancy witch, under the law,
the governor had the power to fill
for the unexpired term. Two candi-
dates for the position announced for
the governors favor, Former Mayor
Chambre and Walton Mccain. The
latter, backed in his ambition by a
host of friends, descended on Baton
Rouge last week to interview the gov
ernor The formg went alone and in
tended to plead his own cause.
A political battle of no mean pro-
portions, even If Basile is small
place, was looming on the horizon.
Then the placating hand of the state
senators from this district, Messrs,
Homer Barousse and A. H. Mouton,
was applied to the situation. They
talked peace and both sides listened,
though neither would '1ie down" for
the other. Result, both candidates
withdrew and agreed to let the two
senators select the man to be recon-
mended to the governor for appoint
ment.
The new mayor vii be announced
in a few days and the warning ele-
ments have subsidized. Another love
feast to be staged in fair Basile.
Therefore. every thing is lovely and
the goose hangs high in the bloom

The house will be in charge Of a

dean of women at the university. The
dean will personally supervise Var

Not more than three girls Will oc-

co-oneration and make Varsity Manor
a big success.
There are already a number OF sor-

Varsity Manor will be operated, and
these. without exception, have been
successes and have withstood the
high prices and subsequent expense

houses for some twenty-odd people.
So there is no reason why Varsity
Manor should not meet with the ap

to attend the university. Whereas
the rules will be stringent to GER

elastic and no girl should find it hard
