Q BIRTH OF GEN. ROBERT o
Q E. Lee o
. . Q . q q . q Q q Q q Q q

In eight states below the Mason
and Dixon line January 20 is a legal
holiday, and gallant Southerners all
over do honor to the hero soldier
who was born ia years ago-Gen-
eral Robert E. Lee. Few among even
the most devoted admirers of Lee
know that he was born after his moth
er had been pronounced dead by
physicians and laid in her coffin, yet
such was the case. For many years
the mother of the great General was
subject to attacks of catalepsy. At
these times she fell into a deep sleep,
and for hours at time was utterly
oblivious to the world, while physi-
clans could scarcely distinguish be-
tween the trance and death. About q
year before the birth of Robert E.
Lee, Mrs. Lee was stricken with one Of
these peculiar attacks. The physician
called in was not familiar with Mrs.
Lees condition, and pronounced her
dead, after every effort to revive her
had failed.
The body Of the supposedly de-
ceased woman was placed in a coffin,
and all srrangements-fns-tha-f..
were completed. The relatives then
abandoned hope, and accepted the
decision of the physician. The funeral
services were in progress when muf-
fled cries and sobs and the sound of
beating issued from the coffin. Eager
hands tore the lid from the coffin,
and Mrs. Lee was found alive, al
though nearly suffocated. A twelve
month later-for Mrs. Lee soon re-
severed from her terrible experience
--she gave birth to man-child, .des-
tined to rank in history as one Of
the greatest generals of modern times.
From this and hundreds of other
similar cases that might be cited, it
is to be seen that the fear of prema-
ture burial is not altogether I'M
founded. 1t is related that Petrarch,
the poet, was once declared dead and
was on the point of being inferred
when he awakened from the trance
that had held him. Able Provost,
author Of "Manon Lescaut" and other
novels, revived under the embalmer's
knife, but died from the wounds SO
inflicted. The mother of EbenezerI
Erskine, founder Of the Free Church
Of Scotland, was actually buried alive.
and was restored to life by ghoul |
who unearthed the coffin. The grave
robber attempted to take a ring from
the finger of the supposed corpse,
and, finding it very tight, cut off the
finger. The pain awakened the sleep
ing woman, who was little the worse

REAL ECONOMY.

The Louisiana State University and
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
at Baton Rouge, Division of Agricul-
tural Extension, d. R. Perkins, edi-
tor, is requesting the press Of the
State to republish the following ed
itorial, with above caption, taken
from the Baton Rouge State Times
Of January 14th:
Police Juries and School Boards
OF the different parishes in all like
lihood will find it necessary to cut
TO the bone their budgets for the COM
ing year. The state has been hard
MT by the unprecedented slump in
the prices Of the farm products that
were depended upon to supply the
bulk Of the farmers income. As q
result, farmers and others are find
ing it hard task to raise money to
pay taxes, to say nothing Of nseeting
the outlay incident to the starting
OF another years crop. All of which
VIII have the effect Of causing the
Officials who are charged with the
duty Of expanding public funds to be
mighty careful as to- where every
dollar goes.
But these officials should not lose
+ their perspective and put the wrong
interpretation on the word "econo-
my" True. economy does not neces-
sarily mean spending no money or
less money, but in getting value re-
ceived for what is spent. Which leads
US up to the point we wish to make.
namely, that in the money spent in
paying the salary Of a competent
parish demonstration agent the parish
gets not only value resolved but in
addition q return that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents.
In one item alone, that of cooper
aslve buying and selling, the agents
in AZ parishes saved to the farmers
e total Of $e2.7so.7o duging 1920.
This u greater than the combined
sum contributed by the parishes for
the agents salaries. In sddition to
this the agents were instrumental
in introducing into the state humid
reds of head Of purebred livestock.
ofthkinds. They conducted terracine
demonstrations, gave instructions in
the planting, spraying and pruning
Of fruit trees, and induced farmers
to have treated against disease co.
$40 cattle, 60,3s5 hogs, 1882 hor-
80 and 6.7s4 sheep. Other activi-
ties Of the agents had to do with the
erection Of silos and improved farm
buildings, the purchase of improved
farming supplements, the introduce
ton Of Systematic rotations, and the
encouraging of diversified farming.
Soil Improvement, the use pf fertil-
izers. boys and girls club work, ex-
hibits at agricultural fairs, and other
things too numerous to mention were
all . part Of the activities of the
demonstration agents. Their duties
are limited only by the needs of
farmers in their territory, and these
ar 'ndlssk And IA agents are
measuring mp to their job.
1t would seem, therefore, that at
this time, when farmers are passing
through q crisis, brought about by the
downfall Of their main standbys, cot
tom cane and rice, and are casting
about for auew crops to grow, the
services Of the demonstration agent
are more valuable than ever before. T.

PARISH AGENTS REPORT MANY
ACTIVITIES.

Sweet potatoes and sugar cane will
to certain extent be substituted for
cotton as money crops in Caldwell
parish, writes H. v. Harris, farm
demonstration agent. A number of
farmers have declared that they will
not plant any cotton next year.
One hundred purebre6 pullets and
% cockerels were placed with Web
ster parish farmers as result of the
poultry drive, reports w. M. Mcbride,
agent. Some scrub poultry has been
sold on the local market and replaced
by purebred stock.
Madison parish farmers are doing
a. good deal of fall blowing, reports
T. l. Watson, farm demonstration
agent. The two sweet-potato cur
ing-plants in operation are proving
satisfactory. Fruit trees have been
ordered and seed corn selected.
Farmers are being instructed in
grading their sweet potatoes for
market, writes H. F.. Cassell, agent
in Tangipahoa parish. A carload Of
sweet potatoes were sold by the
Brentwood chamber of commerce for
farmers in that section.
Demonstration in fall blowing is
being planned, reports T. H. Mill
ken, agent in Morehouse parish. Co
operative purchases of feedstuffs will

A local nurseryman has sold more
than fifteen hundred citrus fruit
trees as the result of display made
at the parish fair with the assistance
Of the farm demonstration agent, re-
ports Felix Bachemin, agent in st.
Tammany parish. Sweet potatoes in
a storage house made Of a cellar are
curing out well.
Land in Concordia parish which
has been farmed more than one hum
dred years without the use of fer
tilizer will be given application of
acid phosphate, as it is believed that
this land will respond to this ferti-
lizer, writes C. B. Seab, farm demon
stration agent. Fertilizer demonstra-
tons with nitrate Of soda and cotton
seed meal will also be carried out.
At meeting Of the police jury Of
st. Tammany parish this week, the
salary Of the home demonstration
agent was raised $25 month, and
much praise given her work by the
members. One member said the
agents work had great missionary
value.
Two years ago the red spider was
so destructive to cucumber vines that
the cucumber crops of A. H. Athen.
near New Orleans, were a total fail
nre, writes W. D. Clayton, farm dem
onstration agent in Orleans parish.
