This, also, went down in defeat, but
without warning and owing to the
quick and energetic work of few
men, especially Judge Dupre, there
was sudden about-face and a motion
to reconsider the vote whereby the
amendment was rejected showed that
there had been some shifting about
and the amendment was at lastt ac-
cepted.
In connection with this change in
attitude on the pay of district judges,
it is intimated that delegates favor
ing the higher pay but opposing sub
mission of the constitution as the
greater of the two "evils" confront
ing them saw the necessity Of max
ing some kind of sacrifice in order
to stem any kind of tide which might
set in favorable to submission and
switched their opinions on the matter
of salary boosts for the judges. In
other words, the judges were made

all danger Of the new constitution

ton Of oossibiIi+ias

next Saturday midnight, that date

said to be the most expensive fiasco
ever staged in Louisiana. -Four or

init the work to the people. All these
petitions and memorials have receiv-
ed scant notice by the majority of the
delegates. The steam roller has flat
tened all such stuff entirely flat and
unless a miracle happens the new con-
stitution will be formally adopted and
not by the majority OF the electors
Of Louisiana but by a majority Of the
one hundred and forty-six delegates
that were sent to Baton Rouge to
frame the constitution.
The office of registrar of voters,
long ago abolished, has been re-creat-
led and each parish win have an ex.
ira official to do the work heretofore
accomplished in very satisfactory
manner by the clerks of the district
courts. Some fight was put up
against the creation of these sixty
odd jobs, one for each parish in the
state, but the opposition was not
strong enough to stem tie tile favcor-
ing the move.
Judges of the district courts at
present serving will be paid four
thousand dollars per year from the
adoption of the constitution until
the end Of their terms, and their sue
cessors who are to be chosen in the
fall Of 1924 will be paid the five thou

judiciary committee of the convention.

mated that during that year DIaat

mated that during that year plant
diseases caused financial loss to
the United States of between two
and half and three billion dollars,
or per capita loss of about thirty
dollars. In Louisiana, the percentages
of loss Is greater than in many other
states on account of our heavy rainfall
and mild winters. The question IS
often asked why we do not raise bet-
ter crops on our rich soils and with
our mild climate. While there may
be many factors responsible. plant
diseases are among the important
ones.
Estimates Of the losses to the Lou.
isiana farmer during the year 1919
due 70 plant diseases include the fol
lowing: oats, 9 per cent, or an actual
loss of $1,000 bushels: corn. II per
cent or a loss OF 100000 bushels Of
corn; Irish potatoes. 11.6 per cent, Or
a loss Of 2oS,0oo bushels. tomatoes.
50, per cent; sweet potatoes, % per
cent, or 4 loss OF 2,57s,oO bushels; cto-
ton, 10 per cent, or loss Of $4,000
bales. The loss to the sugar crop
has not haean as carefully estimated
bit with the new mosaic disease, the
actual loss is. we'll above 10 per cent
Considering these losses. it is no
wonder that the investigations on
plant diseases have become so I'M.
portant during the past few years
Thirty years ago the subject was hard
~ known in university and college
work and it was only fourteen years
ago that the first university depart
ment Of plant pathology was estab-
lished. Today, however, there are
but few agricultural colleges that do
not teach plant pathology and carry
on extended investigations on plant
/ diseases.

next Monday at 2 o'clock at the coun-

At the meeting on next Monday aft
ternoon Prof Mclean hopes to have
every dairyman and farmer who is in

dairy interest, which he hopes to
make the greatest in the county, will

it should be without a testing asso.

There will be number of talks next

LACK OF FUNDS TO )
HAMPER ROAD WORK
ONLY SMALL SUM WILL BE
AVAILABLE SINCE PAYMENT
OF TAXES DEFERRED.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald. }
Lack of road funds and the defer
ring of tax payments until May / will
prevent any considerable amount OF
road work until the spring is well ad,
yanced. When the tags arrive and
the collection of vehicle taxes begins
the road funds VII be replenished,
but it will be a month or two after
the collection of this tax commences
until there is any considerable sum
available for road wok! Practically
all of the funds remaining to the cred
it of the road account from last year
have been expended in repairs, so
that it will be the policy of Superin-
tedent Wilkes to do only such work
as is imperative until there are funds
available. With the exception of mud
holes IN places most of the roads are
in fairly good condition, and some OF
them are good. and only minimum
amount of work will he necessary to
keep them passable.

LIVELY CONTESTS
FOR ROAD BOSSES
OFFICE OF DISTRICT COMMITS.

2 BE EAGERLY SOUGHT.

From Mondays Daily IIerald.)
| There are said to be some Lively
contests in prospect for district road
commissioners, although SO far in only
one district has more than one candi-
date formally announced. But there
are rumors every day of candidates
and the Office seems to be one of the
most popular that has ever been filed
in the county. Owing to the fact that
under the new law all of the road
funds are d stributed among the sew
eral districts of the county, the dis
triCt commissioners will have a grea
deal of power and political circles are
filled with rumors to the effect that
citizens Interested in certain roads of
the district will combine for the elcc.
ticn of a candidate. Some of the liv-
lest contests the county has known
in a long time will be pulled off
In order to vote n this election poll
taxes must he paid by March 3 and
this. ii is expected, will cause rush
to pay polls. So far the legislature
has not levied q poll tax on women
aud unless that is done before the
election the women can vote without a
poll tax receipt.

RUSSELL GLAD FOR
CHANCE ON FARM

tt'rom Tuesdays Daily Herald }
, Representative Russell came in
from Nashville Saturday and will
spend the legislative recess with his
family on his farm near Spring II IL.
Mr.. Russell said that he was glad that
he would be given the chance this fine
weather to look after his farming in
terests for the next two or three
weeks.
While there are some compensa-
tons for being country savior" the
genial representative from Maury
would rather prefer spending his win
ters on his farm near to nature than
amid the smoke, and noise and tur-
MOL ard strife of Nashville. He said
that one of the greatest difficulties
that he experienced was changing his
hours Ordinarily on the farm he was
to bed early and up early, but after
he got to Nashville with all the com
mittee meetings and caucuses and
conferences and other legislative mat
tiers during the first part of the night,
he would find it impossible to retire
early And then he could not sleep
late, but finally he became accustom-
cd to the change.
