THE FALL CAMPAIGN"

A glance at the mail bags reaching
Tallulah shows that the big Chicago
end New York mali order houses are
now pushing their "fall campaign"
They are flooding the country with
circulars and catalogues, and mail
ored papers are carrying their glazing
"Free" and ''Don't Pay Us A Penny
advertising. And that thousands fall
for these cheap-john offers is evil
denced by the fact that Uncle Sans
latest postal report shows the Chicago
post office to be doing larger bust
ness than any other office in the
United States. But there is one thing
to remember. The dollar you send
away isn't going to come back home.
The dollar you turn over to a
stranger instead of your hometown
merchant is going to be spent among
strangers, too, and you'll not have a
chance to get penny of it back. So
since common sense teaches you that
you are going to be the loser in the
long-run, why not resolve today to
spend your money with the men who
spend theirs with you.

DON'T SPEND UNwISELY

Don't spend recklessly, don't
spend unwisely, but keep part OF
your money in circulation" says John
Wanamaker, owner of two of the
greatest dry goods stores in America.
He declares that instead of Tightening
UP Just at this time and cutting ad-
vertising appropriations his stores
are advertising heavier than they
usually do, in the belief that the
best thing that can happen to this
country will be to keep money cir
culating. Cur citizens can profit by
this mans advice. They can well
afford to pay Their bills promptly so
the other fellow can do the same
thing-and with everybody meeting
their bills, especially the smaller
ones, we are sure to run along
smoothly until good times, now known
to be just around the corner, come
back to stay. Dig up the dollar OF
two you owe the grocer, the butcher
or anybody else; and fork it over
He'll do the same thing. Maybe 6
dozen bills will be paid with that
same dollar or two, and every time
It will serve to hasten the arrival Of
the kind of prosperity we're hoping
| for.

RAISING PHEASANTS

The Conservation Department OF
Louisiana is recommending to farmers
in suitable sections of the State,
whiih means any well watered up
land section or we'll drained localities
elsewhere, the raising of Chinese
Pheasants for the market. These
birds are as easily raised as turkeys
and experience in other sections OF
the country, notably as far South as
the southern border of Georgia, de-
mcestrated with more profit to the
poultry raiser. Besides they add to the
attractiveness of the country and are
source of delight to the family of the
farmer. the womenfolk admiring the
grace and handsome coloring of the
bird, and the male youth his game
proclivities.
A pair of Chinese Pheasnats can
be bought for from Sc to SO. The
female produce 40 to 60, sometimes
as high as 80 eggs a year, and they
are usually Matched out by barnyard
chickens. The birds are readily sold
! in a market that is never over stock
ed at from $3.50 to $3.50 a brace,
and niger figures may be obtained by
the pioneers of the movement who
supply breeding stock to neighbors or
sell eggs for settings. Aside from the
food value of the pheasant and his
attractiveness about home, he is
invaluable as a destroyer of insect
life and other pests of the farm, and
his general introduction throughout
the country would save millions OF
! dollars to the farmer and the con-
sumers of the country.
There are many varieties of pheas'
ants to be obtained from dealers
but the Chinese ring nick is recon.
medmed because of the fecundity OF
the species, their hardness and the
gamey qualities of the bird. 1t is the
hope of the Conservation Department
that farmers generally will enter up
on this profitable sideline Of farming
because it will add another important
industry to the State, reimburse the
farmer directly, and indirectly result
in the profit of the entire people Of
the State. AS the stock increase
there would naturally be some es
capes into the woods, and at the SAM
, lime do much to keep down the nox
, ious insect life of the farms, destro.
. field mice and other farm vermir
and thus help increase production o.
y the farms.
! The farmer who desires to ente
, upon this enterprise can secure fror
o the dealer from whom he buys tn
. stock printed directions as to tn
, care and raising the birds, or ne ca
o communicate with the Conservatio
= Department of the State, which WI
e cheerfully supply the necessary infol
r nation gathered from the most n
r. liable sources in the country.

OCTOBER RICE REPORT
FOR LOUISIANA

The condition of the rice crop in
Louisiana on October l, was two
points less than on September /, ac-
cording to report just issued by Mr..
Lionel L. James, Agricultural Stats
tician at New Orleans OF the Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates, U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
According to the reports of large
number of rice correspondents bear
ing an average date of October l, the
condition of the crop on that date was
$3.50 of normal. This compares with
1870 on August 1, 1921; $50 on
September /, 1921; $3.50 on October
1, 1920; 500 on October 1, 1919;
1920 on October 1, 1918; and with
84.9Tc the 10 year average of condl-
! ton OH October 1.
| A condition of 1870 on October L,
forecasts probable yield per acre OF
approximately 1872 bushels, and a
total production for the state of ap-
proximately 14,641,0 900 bushels. In
1920 the average yield per acre was
SO bushels and the production 25,-
200, 900 bushels. In 1919 the produc-
ton was 19,712.000 bushels; in 1918
16,7O4,OOO bushels; with 1o537,OOo
the six-year average of production
! (1915-192O) The average yield per
acre for the past 6 years is 35.2
bushels.
The rinal out turn will probably be
larger or smaller than 14,641, 900
bushels, according as conditions here
after are better or worse than aver
age conditions.
The use of seed not up to standard
and the general decreased use OF
fertilizer this year have had their
effects. Yields in many sections are
unsatisfactory while blight is report
ed from some quarters. In many in
stancesfarmers have been short OF
funds to properly prepare their soil,
buy fertilizer, and water and care
for the crop.
! The percentage condition of rice In
!, Louisiana by Parishes on October l.,
is as follows, comparison being with
, normal condition of growth and
vitality giving promise of full yield
per acre represented by 100 per cent:

PROFITABLE YEAR

The summer just past broke the
heat record of half century. Accord
ing to the weather-wise this is sign
of a cold winter just ahead of US.
While this outlook does not furnish
Joy to the average citizen, it holds
out pleasant anticipation to the
trapper. Cold weather makes luxuri-
ant coats on fur-bearing animals and
it also gives a great boost to the
fashion of wearing fur garments.
Old-time trappers are, therefore,
laying their plans for what they be-
lieve will be a big season.
Last season was a hard one fol-
trappers and thefur industry IN gen.
eral. Owing to the warm weather
and the unsettled condition of the
fur market comparatively little trap
ping was done. This has brought the
fur dealers up to the present season
with very low stock of raw rurs on
hand, and these same fur houses are
now urging trappers to get baik IN
the game with vim and vigor. Trap
pers can look forward, therefor to
good prices for their pelts.
The vogue for fur garments and
fur-trimmed attire is one Of the de-
velopments of recent years. While
furs have always been worn to
moderate extent, they literally tool
'"shicr by storm a few seasons ago
This led to some Enthusiastically higf
pnces-supply simply could not keel
pace with the demand. These prices
of course, had to come down aftel
their extraordinary flight, and thi:
they did in 1920. putting the fur mar
ket in a turmoil for the time be
Now the market is back on a stead!
footing, and the future looks fin'
for the trapper.

Law VIOLATIONS

The writer was present in the Court
room this week and listened with
pleasure to lecture by Judge Rams
dell on the thoughtless violation of
the law by some of the young men
of Tallulah. We were struck by the
logical, conservative, yet earnest man.
ner of our Judge-he July explained
to all present what violation of law
would lead to and we hope that all
who heard him will think and take
heed. One incident that struck the
writer most forcibly was when case
of selling liquor was called. The at
torney for the State stated the case
that the defendent plead guilty and
the State and the defendants attor-
ney had agreed upon the minimum
fine. The Judge stated that as the
agreement had been made, he would
fix the fine as agreed upon, but he
cautioned the Bar that hereafter no
6ZreSDnenL Ulduc III ISlciShSC W WV
lation of the liquor law would be
recognized by him, and that he in
tended to give those who violated the
liquor law the limit-$250o00 fine
AND six months in Jail.
He further stated in the course OF
his remarks that if the good citizens
of this parish would assist him by
bringing the v;olators before him that
he soon would put stop to the sale
of liquor in this section.
We admire this straight talk and
courage of an elected Judge in stating
the law and the results that may come
by their non-eNorcement.
We honor you, Judge, and wish
more men of your courage occupied
the bench in this and other states
Well done thou faithful servant.

A NOVEL SUGGESTION

Married women are advised to get
themselves a nice pet rat or good
guinea pig and feed him the food
they give their, husbands and then
watch the effect. This is the advice
of Miss Mary Sweeney, dean of the
woman's division of the Michigan
Agricultural College.
"a husband is like rat" she says,
because both thrive on identically
the same diet. If you cook for rat
and keep it's eyes bright, its fur
smooth and general condition good,
you can do the same thing for hus-
band. When a husband is content
ed he will stay at home nights and
perhaps assist with the homework.
He becomes coatented when he is
fed on the proper diet. If you plan
to feed your husband beef steak, corn
bread and pumpkin pie, try it on the
rat first. The reactions as manifested
by the bright eyes and the smooth
fur will be the same on any man
and by the same token you can tel
how your husband is going to take
your cooking"
Dean Sweeney practices what she
breaches and part of the course il
the economics department of the
school is to have each girl cook fol
a rat for a specified length of time
and when she can please the roden
she is allowed to practice other form
Of cooking which tempt mans appe
tite. It is said that all the girls VIII
graduate from this class in schoo
are married in less than three year
after graduation, and divorce record
show that but one woman in the IL
has had serious domestic troubles.
