RICE FARMERS
SELLING FAST
CROP MOVING OUT OF WARE
HOUSES AT RAPID RATE
PRICES, HOWEVER, LOW

Buyers and graders were busy al
last week and the first of this week
buying and grading rice bought IN
several sections of st. Landry. As
fast as bought the grain is loaded in
to cars and is shipped to mills. Prices
are very poor and do not near meet
the expense of production, but the
producers seem determined to dispose
of the crop before further deteriora-
ton and save themselves financially
as much as possible. According to
grade, the price ranges from about
$3.50 to slightly over 50 per standard
barrel of 1913 pounds. The by-products
in the milling pays the expenses CT
such work, according to the state
ments of men who are experienced in
that line.
S. A. Irving and H. L. Clements
have been visiting such places as Law
tell, Port Barre, Leonville and Begg
and buying and grading rice bought
from farmers in those localities and
they state that within short time
there will not be any left in the hands
Of the local farmers.

DECISION MADE BY
U.S.. LABOR BOARD
RAILROAD LABOR BOARD ORD
Frs ABRoGATIoN OF NATION
AL AGREEMENTS

Chicago, IH.-National agreements
defining working conditions for en-
ployes on all American railroads for
merly under the federal railroad ad-
ministration were Thursday ordered
abrogated, effective July l, 1921, BY
the United States railroad labor board.
The board called upon the officers
and system organizations Of employees
of each road to select representatives
ito confer and decide" as much Of
the rules in controversy as possible.
Such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date, the decision
sail.
While the decision did not specifical-
" say so. members Of the beard said
that all disputes as to rules and work
ing conditions automatically were re-
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and its
employees. This method Of procedure
had been sought by railroads, where
as the labor side favored a national
conference between representatives Of
all roads and all unions.
The decision affected all railroad
employees except those on train serV-
ic ew no are under separte agre9-
ments between individual railroads
and the four big brotherhoOds.
In connection with the conference
negotiations, the board laid down
set II sixteen principles which are
to serve as a foundation for any rules
which may be agreed to in the confer
ence. The present general rules hear
ing before the labor board, which has
been in progress since January 10

completed their testimony, following
which the board will prOmulgate such

The people Of Opelousas and vicin-
ity have been blessed with a spiritual
awakening such as has not come to
this immediate section in many a day,
il ever. The revival began in the
Methodist church under the leader
ship Of the Kelly Brothers. The time
Of these evangelists being lin
tied they could spend only two weeks
here, but they were successful in
drawing unusually large crowds AMI
in creating considerable religious en-
thusiasm. Two monster meetings for
men only were held in the court
house on Sunday afternoons. At the
last one, sanding room was at a pre-
MUM
After an intermission Of week
the Baptists began meeting which
continued for two weeks. The pas
tor, Rev. D. R. Peyoto, led in the
meeting and did the preaching, and
the singing was conducted by Rev.
E. R. Denny of the Baptist Bible In
gtitute, New Orleans The church
was crowded with enthusiastic hea;-
ers at each evening service. The re-
vival spirit constantly deepened as
the meeting progressed. When the
end came on Monday night, all stand
ing room was taken and many wait
ed on the out side and some went
away because they could not get in
the church.
There were about one hundred new
members added to the two churches
during the meeting. and many old
ones renewed their VOWS, and a gen
eral spiritual uplift has come to the
community.
Two features Of the meeting were
out OF the ordinary and deserves spe-
citl mention. One was the cottage
rrayermeetings There were two OF
these each afternoon except on Sat
lrdays. The revival tide ran high at
each prayermeeting and several were
converted in them. The other feature
was the daily Bible reading contest
between the children and the grown
UPS. almost 1000 chapters were read
during the last two weeks Of the
meeting. The children won by 1G6
chapters.

cationaI history is glorious; we have
sent out from our schools some Of the

Feeding Barley to Horses

A test to compare the relative
value Of light and heavy weight bar.
ley as feeds for teamwork horses was
made last year by the United States
department of agriculture, at the ex'
detrimental farm, Beltsville, Md.
Eight Percheron mares were used
in the test, two receiving lightweight
barley, two heavyweight barley, and
four receiving oats as a check. The
test was continued % weeks The
mares were used in all the routine
work Of the farm, which included the
heavy field work of blowing, etc, dur
ing the spring months. The BARLEY
used was commercial grade OF
heavy barley (rolled) and light bar
ley (rolled). the heavy barley weigh
ing AIS and the light 40.7 pounds TO
the bushel, according to the tested
weights determined by grain investl-
cations, bureau Of markets. The reia
tive gains or lesses in weights Of the
mares fed on barley and these fed
on oats were practically the same, and
there was no indication that either
feed possessed outstanding merit over
the other.
The weights Of the mares fed On
light barley remained more constant
than the weights of the mares fed on
heavy barley, and the former seemed
to be slightly more thrifty than the
latter, although the advantage seemed
slight.
