LOUISIANA CROP
PROSPECTS GOOD.
FARMERS ARE GROWING FOOD
AND FEED sTUFFs ON A
LARGER SCALE.
INCREASE IN CORN ACREAGE
Area Of Feed This Crop Greater BY
343 Acres-Many Feed Crops
Show Cains-Less Cotton
Is Planted.

Louisiana farmers are going in for
raising food and feed stuffS on a
larger scale than ever this year and
they are holding their expenses down
to the minimum to assure good start
for next years growing season.
This was the comment OF Lionel l..

corn in Louisiana, this year; an IN

attention to the stage Of growth and to
weather conditions little more trouble
will be experienced in obtaining we'll
cured cowpea hay than clover or al.
ttalfa hay.
The bulletin recommends that COW.
pea hay be substituted in the southern
states for much of the hay now being
purchased from the North and West.
Cowpeas alone have not given good
results as a silage crop. In addition
to the high protein content, the green
vines contain large proportion OF
water, producing watery silage that
keeps poorly and Is not we'll relished
by stock. The best silage is obtained
when this crop is grown with corn o,
sorghum.
Serve Best for Hogs.
Although pasturing cowpeas is no,
thought the best farm practice, unde,
certain conditions It Is advisable and
quite profitable. Any kind of live
stock may be pastured on cowpeas
but hogs are generally used. The bes,
time for turning the stock on cowpeas
Is when the crop has reached the stage
Of maturity thought best for hay.
As a soiling crop, the cowpea car
be used advantageously 20 supplement
crops with less protein, such as corn
sorghum and millet. 1t is used more
as a soil builder than any other legume
because 1t Is so easily grown, has sucl

SMALL FRUITS IN ORCHARDS
BIaekberries, Dewberries, Strawberries
and Grapes Generally Give Good
Returns.

Small fruits should have a place in
every orchard. For the home fruit
supply, blackberries, dewberries,
strawberries, grapes and other small
fruits generally give a good account
Of themselves, when planted on good
soil and given the proper attention.
A small area Of land, set to small
fruits, will often bring in more
revenue than the rest Of the farm, pro:

What | Think of the City
Manager System

Every day reporter will ask
person picked at random. his Opin-
ION on the proposed plan.
The people can't recall a mayor
under the present law, neither can
they recall city manager. under
the new system" said a business
man on Main street. The advo.
Gates of the city manager form
know there is no recall provision
in the law, consequently the city
manager stays in Office unless the
commissioners oust him. You can't
recall the commissioners either.
Now. if the commissioners don't
care to fire city manager. how in
the world are you going to get rid
of him?
What difference Is there in this
respect between the ability of an
unpopular mayor and an undesir-
able city manager to retain office?
None at all.
If group of designing men want
ed to control the city. they could
do it easier under the city manager
plan than under the present sys
tenn Under the old law, you have
a city council to check the board
of works and mayor Under the
city manager system, the city man
ager is an absolute boss, and If
he and three of the five city COM
missioners want to do so, they
can be autocrats of the worst sort.
Give me the old system, where
each department is check on
the other"
