SCHOOL BOARD HAS
FIXED IT'S BUDGET
ST. LANDRY PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM TO COST QUARTER
MILLION FOR SESSION

The st. Landry parish school board
met last week and among other af-
fairs adopted the budget Of expenses
for the present twelve months expir-
ing next summer. The total Of the
budget is in round figures $234,OOO'
or practically one-quarter million.
OF this sum $15S,O0O is set aside
the salaries OF the white teachers
and $4,000 for colored tachers. An
other item of expense is the sum u
5000 for the drivers Of school trans
fers, there being few more trans
fer routes established at this last
meeting to serve schools heretofore
unprovided with such system.
It is apparent that the schools OF
st. Landry are getting to be huge
affair. and the charge often made
and heard that louisiana and its
subdivisions did not spend a suft1-
cient amount of money on the schools
Is an unwarranted one for the cost OF
public education has been steadily
mounting upwards for many years

MARTIN MEpIcIs' DEATH
CAUSED BY HEART FAILURE

Judge Gilbert L. Dupre, a lfelons

tain the cause of his death. The let
tor below indicates it resulted from
heart failure, and that it was sudden

him until about $50 p. m, next day,

WIN BOTH
FROM THE VISITORS
BREAUX BRIDGE AND JENNINGS
TEAM PROVE POOR PLAYERS
TO oPELoUsEANS

The local bail team played two
games last week with visiting teams,
one game Thursday with Breaux
Bridge, the second on Friday with
Jennings, winning both without any
APPARENT effort the visitors being en-
tirely outclassed by the giants OF the
Opelousas team.
Thursday Breaux Bridge was de-
feated by the score Of 2 to 8, the
home boys playing a loose and list
less game otherwise the visitors
would have been shut out. Friday the
game with Jennings was equally az
listless. Billeaud pitching for Opelou-
sas. and the score stood to in
favor of this city. The gate receipts
were fairly good considering there
was little pep in the fans and play
ers to make things even interesting.
Saturday morning, very early the
team departed via automobile Tor
patterson 10 play L4AO WV
scheduled for that day and Sunday.
1t was reported that a brother of OPP
elousas' shortstop, Comeaux, had
died suddenly and that this would
take him out of the game. He has
a brother on the Patterson team and
he. too, would necessarily be out OF
the playing for the same reason.
Quite a large bunch of fans accom-
panied the players on Saturday and
a large number went down on Sunday
to witness the contest that day
Everyone was determined to win over
the Patterson Greys and if good play
ing and enthusiasm had any thing
to do with it. Opelousas would re-
turn with the Patttersonites' scalp.

MELVILLE TEAM BEATS

In the absence of the regular ball
team Sunday, the fans were enter
tanned by a ne&citing but slow game
at Giron park between the Opelou-
sas K. Of C.'s and the team from Mel
Vile, the visitors winning by the
score of 7 to 5. Gate receipts were
about sixty dollars. These teams
have played several games, here and
at Melville, and there has been con-
siderable rivalry between the two az

RICE MOVEMENT IS
GETTING UNDER WAY
RECEIPTS REPORTED
Millers and Buyers Seem
Eager to Make Bids on
All Offered
SOME MILLS START
THE SEASONS RUN
St. Landry Production This
Year Small Owing to Acre
age Cut on Bayous

Reports from all over the rice grow
ing region Of southwest Louisiana
are to the effect that farmer are busy
with the harvest Of the early matur-
ing varieties of rice and more and
more of the grain is being rushed TO
market and sold at encouraging
prices, though not at all to be COM
pared with the figures paid two and
three years ago.
In the milling centers everything
is being gotten in readiness for the
seasons run, and 1t is noted with no
small degree of interest that the mar
ket shows a much healthier condition
than it did a year ago, at which time
it was practically impossible to sell
rice at any price whatever, which so
discouraged the farmers that many
faced the future with serious doubts.
Buyers have been paying more than
three dollars and fifty cents per bar
rel for the new crop and some pro-
ducers and buyers predict that not
less than three dollars will be the rul-
ing price paid, though a few predict
that the value will advance to four
dollars, though this is somewhat
doubtful just now
1t is admitted that the acreage has
been reduced forty per cent in Louisi-
ana while the cut in Texas has been
even more, the great rice growing
territory around Beaumont and east
Texas having practically abandoned
the growing of the crop this year and
the mills located in that territory be-
ing practically dependent on the
Louisiana fields to furnish them with
a sufficient quantity in order to keep
their machinery going the coming
season.
Locally the acreage has also been
cut and there are vast areas on Bay.

Gus Teche, Courtableau and Waxla
where, last year and the year before,
MAGNIFICENT crops were grown and
harvested and where this year there
was not a foot plowed and planted.
This will result in an immense de-
crease in production for st. Landry
parish, but it will go a long ways to-
ward getting the industry back on
its feet and aiding the farmers in
clearing their soil of red rice. Al
other year these abandoned acres VIII
be in first class shape fer rice and
with the stablii2iag of the industry
the farmers living along the three
bayoNs named will be better prepared
to center the game once again.
The Eunice, Crowley, Rayne, Abbe-
Vile and New Iberia territories all
report receipt of new rice, the price
paid for these several lots ranging
from about $3.50 down to $3.50 per
standard barrel. Some OF the mills
have already gotten start on clean
ing new rice and we note at least one
store in New Dreams advertising the
first shipment of the new rice, offer
ing same at retail at IL cents per
pound.
Those in a position to know state
the producers will make money on
the crop this year as if they receive
three dollars per barrel for their crop
the profits will be two-thirds of that
amount, it having cost about one dol
lar per barrel to produce it. We can
not vouch for the accuracy of this
statement for we are not in a posi-
ton to know.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURAL
TEACHERS ENJOY TRIP.

The annual improvement and in
spection trip of the Vocational Agri-
cultural Teachers of New Jersey was
a success in every way. The teachers
met from all parts of the State at
Hammonton OF Monday, Aug. Is, and
visited some of the farmers with
whom Mr.. F. ]. Freda has been work
ing. The second day of the trip was
spent in the Egg Harbor section
among the farmers with whom Mr.. w.
G. Frisbie has been working, and on
Wednesday the day was spent in the
Shore district visiting farmers with
whom Mr.. H. A. Miller has been work.
ing. Thursday, Friday and Saturday
were spent in Cape May County visit
ing men and boys with whom Mr.. S..
e. Stone and Mr.. R. e. Reeves have
been working as agricultural instruc-
tors.
Atlantic and Cape May Counties
have for the past several years con-
Quoted evening classes for adult farm
ers who desire to improve their meth
DDS and %acquaint themselves with the
latest scientific research in the agri-
cultural field. We have been prac-
tically pioneers in this particular type
of work in the United States. All of
the teachers who were present on this
trip, together with the State Super
visor and his assistant and the Re-
gional Director appointed by the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education,
were greatly pleased with the result,
and complimented the various teach
ers on the magnitude and efficiency
with which the work was being done
with the adult farmers. Those teach
ers who are not doing, or have Just
begun this short course work, COM
mented on the big field which is avail
able, and expressed their hearty ap-
proval of the way in which Atlantic
County and Cape May County teachers
were attacking the problem and Sc
curing the cooperation of the farmers.
and the way in which the agriculture
of the section was being improved
through the teaching of spraying, the
mixing and application of fertilizers,
farm management, and the various
other farm problems which are being
carried out and studied by the farmers
and teachers. The last few years
have been marked by a decided in
crease in the production of better
quality farm products, and in the up
building of the soils for a permanent
system of agriculture. Aside from the
favorable comments made by the visit
ing teachers, the representative of the
Federal Board, in discussing the meth
DDS in the classroom and on the farm,
gave his hearty approval of the work
and offered some further suggestions
to bring this work to an ever higher
plane.
The trip was not without it's pleas
ant features. All of the men visited
Atlantic City, Wildwood and Cape
May, many of them for the first time.
Great sport was enjoyed fishing in the
Delaware Bay and a large catch re-
suited.
