Sophie Tucker Is
Real Jazz Queen

WY HEN one thinks Of jazz, one
" instinctively thinks of
Sophie Tucker. AS Daniel
Webster would have said, Jazz and
Sophie Tucker. now and forever,
one and inseparable."
There are highbrow critics of art
who maintain that jazz lurked for
aeons in the African jungle, and
that it's rhythmic spell represents
a throw-back to prehistoric times.
Maybe they're right. but whether
they are or not, people like 1t, and

origin. but If so, Sophie Tucker
transplanted 1t, adapted it, and in
cidentally is cashing in on it. With
her nifty jazz band, she has prob
ably done more than any other ex-
ponent of syncopated strain to popu-
larize jazz.
Frisco and others who have APP
peared on the Keith circuit, have
done their bit. of course. for Sophie
has been kept so busy in New York
that help was necessary to put jazz
across in the provinces. Broadway
has been so keen for her that for a
long time she has been unable to
get away.
The moaning saxaphone and all
the other accoutrements that go
to make up this newest form Of har-
mony are much in evidence since
jazz got its start in America. In
deed, statistics show that no less
than ,495 saxophones were sold in
one month in one New York music
store-and heaven only knows how
many music stores there are in New
York. to say nothing Of the country
at large.
Thanks to Sophie Tucker. II is not
improbable that some day America
will be a nation of saxophone play
ers.

DIsEASE-FREE SOIL
FOR TOMATO SEED BEDS

In sections where the tomato is SER
iously injured by the wilt disease, spe-
ciaI attention must be paid to the
seed beds and cold frames and the
soil that is used in them. The toma-
to wilt is a disease which is carried
in the soil and only soil that is known
to be absolutely free of the disease
should be used in the seed beds in
which the young plants are to be
grown. If the seed bed soil contains
the wilt, the young plants will become
infected before they are set in the
field. The plants may appear healthy
enough at transplanting time but they
will die with the wilt before the sea
son is over.
Fresh soil should be obtained for
the seed beds each season. This soil
should be procured from seine field
that has never grown tomatoes or re-
ceived the wash from tomato fields.
Soil from the woods is usually the
most satisfactory. With disease-free
soil, the plants will be healthy when
set in the field, and even if the plants
become infected with the disease al
Ter being transplanted, the loss vii
not be nearly as great as it would
be with plants infected in the seed
bed.-G. w Edgerton, plant patho,o

MILD WINTER NOT
FAVORABLE TO BEES

Beekeepers of Louisiana are now
experiencing one OF the worst win
tiers on bees, which we have had for
a number of years.
An inexperienced beekeeper would
imagine that the bright open winter
would be the very thing for his bees,
as this would insure safety from freeZ-
ing, But, according to E, C. Davis, Of
the Extension Division, Louisiana
State University, a mild winter as
we are now having is against bee
keeping. Where the winters are mod
erately cold, the bees cluster in the
hive, and consume very little honey,
and as they have to generate very lit
tie heat, do not wear themselves oIt
by constant muscle movements, and
are in fine shape for the early honey
flow.
The warm winter we are now hav.
ing has caused the bees to take flight
almost every day, and while the sun
shines on the hive body and heats &
of nectar, wear themselves out, and
are in an unfit condition to gather
up inside, the bees flying out in search
nectar when it does appear later on
in the spring. The bees not only wear
themselves out, but consume great
deal Of honey, and at the same Tins
under these conditions, the queen be
ginsIaying eggs. and a great deal o.
brood is raised which have to be
fed, and the result is, unless YOU
bees have had an over abundance o
honey, left from the season before
they will starve before the sprinl
blossoms come.
Mr. Davis advises that beekeepert
go into their hives and find out con
d5tions of same, and if they need foor
give it to them. A little help at tn,
present time will save the bees ans
insure you a large honey surplus tn
4 coming season.

SWAMI ADVOCATES
VELVET BEANS

"Velvet beans have been grown in
Avoyelles parish to a small extent
Tor a number of years, until 1920 they
jumped to 1000 per cent increase il

proved their value beyond a doubt
farmers do not hesitate to tell their
value" writes F. A. Swami agent in
AvoyeIles parish. Daily I hear some
thing good about velvet beans and
will give a few of the stories.
Mr.. H. Sayes, Wick, La, stated to
me today that he had planted p
acres Of velvet beans in 1920 and
made an enormous crop of vines and
beans. From few acres he picked
1000 lbs of beans in hui for feed,
grazed about 100 head of livestock Oh
this field of beans all winter, has
not fed any fed from his barns yet,
has gotten his meat from hogs grazed
on these beans, has marketed bean

condition for the summer range, and
instead Of having to help old poor

HATcH EARLY FOR
BEST POULTRY RESULTS

Matching early is an essential fea-
ture in successful poultry raising, ac-
cording to Harley L. Williams, poul-
try specialist in the state university
extension division. After selecting the
best birds to breed from, the best
eggs should be selected from them for
Matching, he says. To have healthy
vigorous chicks select eggs that are
uniform in size, shape and color.
Dust the hen with some good in
sect powder a day or so before setting
her as this will help to prevent thriy-
ing lice on the chicks" says Mr.. VIII
lfams. "See that the setting hens
have plenty Of feed and water each
day. Corn is good heat producing
food for the setting hen. In changing
a hen from the nest to the one where
she is to set, don't put the eggs TO be
Matched under her for a day or two,
until she becomes accustomed to the
nest. Locate the nest in quiet, dark
place where the hen will not be dis
lturbed.
"A convenient size for the nest is
fifteen inches square. In making the
nest place two or three inches Of moist
soil in the bottom to provide moist
ure. Then place straw, hay, excel
sior or pine needles, shaping the nest
circular and slightly deeper in the
center. If the nest is too shallow,
the eggs may roll out, and if too deep
may also cause the hen to break the
eggs by jumping in ON them. If eggs
are broken in the nest, remove them
and wipe the soiled ones with warm
damp cloth, and place fresh straw
in the nest"
