section. 1t will afford to the citizens
of Washington Parish an opportunity
they have long desired of getting ac-
quainted with our neighbOrs in Mis-
sissippi. 1t will also prove a great
convenience for people within a ra-
dius of fifty miles or more from Be-
galusa, who desire to motor to the
gulf coast for weekend trips. The
antiquated system of crossing the
river on a ferry, which at times was
dangerous, kept hundreds of people
from this section from visiting Pearl
River County and the gulf coast each
week.
1t will be the only bridge across
Pearl River south of Columbia, Miss,
which means that all good roads built
in the future will be toward this
bridge.
1t is expected that work on the
bridge will begin the early part of
July, and unless Il ere is some unex-
pected delay, it il believed that the
bridge will be completed by the first
of the year.
While no definite announcement
has been made, it is rumored that the
Board Of Supervisors of Pearl River
County contemplate building the
swamp road into model one, which
even during the flood stage will re-
main in perfect condition. The pres
ent Board of Supervisors of Pearl
River County has proved to be COM
posed of the best business ability that
has ever served and reports received
in this section indicate that the tax
payers across the river realize that
they are getting more for their money
than ever in the history of the
county.

OWNER OF CREOSOTING
PLANT DIES SUDDENLY

A. T. Hert, president of the Co
lonial Creosoting Company of this
city, as well as twenty-one other
plants, died suddenly in Washington
at the Willard, Hotel Tuesday after
noon, death being due to apopIexy.
Mr.. Hert was well known in Bogalusa,
having visited here about a year ago.
He recently declined an appointment
as ambassador to a foreign country,
and was one of the leading Republi-
cans Of the country. Frank Rowell.
Southern sales manager for the va
rious companies returned last week
from Louisville, where. he visited
with Mr.. Hert. NJ. C. Riley, local
manager, is also well acquaited with
Mr.. Hert.
"Tobe" HeFt, as he was famiIiarIy
known to the home folks back in
Greene County, Ind, was a self-made
man and a natural leader. He became
millionaire in less than five years,
and during his rapid success, his first
thoughts were of his relatives and
friends. Every relative who wanted
JOB was given one, and if they made
good they were well taken care of.
Scores of boys from the old home
town at Bloomfield, Ind, were given
important jobs by him, while his older
relatives were unusually well pro-
vided for.
The best evidence of his ability as
a political leader was when he went
to Brazil, Ind, a progressive city
OF about 1900, and was elected
mayor of the city after about one
years residence. The success of Will
Hays, postmaster general, is due in
no small measure to the interest Mr..
Hert took in him.

hearted big business men Of the gen

great shock to his thousands of

sent out on her mainden trip Mon
day nights. The new engines are a
great deal larger than the ones used
by the company, weighing about
twenty tons more.
The engine attracted much atten-
ton in the local yards Sunday and
there was much speculation as to how
the roadbed would stand the heavy
engine, but it is reported that the
first run made by the new engine
was perfect It is known as No. 90,
and was built for the Russian gov

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT STRAWBERRIES
Hannmond IL Mo- IA 100

Hammond, La, May 80, 1921.
b. u. Talley, Chamber Of Commerce,
Bogalusa, La.
Dear Sir: hope you will pardon
the great delay in answering your
letter of March IS, regarding Inc
strawberry industry, but this DELAY
was caused by the fact that we were
up to now, in the midst Of our busy
strawberry season, and it was impos-
slble for me to get our strawberry
people to give this matter the time
necessary in order to go into your
questions fully, due to the fact that
our strawberry growers and associa-
tons are busy night and day during
this season.
! will answer your questions in
order as follows:
/. One man can profitablv handle
about two acres of berries, If working
only by himself. Of course. the time
when labor is needed is in the mar
ketlng season, when picking and
packing take considerable labor. Of
course, one man with family to HELM
him IN picking and packing can ham
die more than two acres.
z. The best time to plan 5err
IS in August, and the plants will then
furnish runners to be planted in Sep
TENDER.
3. The best crop is the first years
crop, if planted early.
4. The plants ordinarily yield two
years before new plant is neces-
sary.
5. It would take no elss than 100
to $50 acres under cultivation to be
able to ship in carload lots, and it
would take no less than 1000 acres to
be able to ship by the trainload.
z. The buyers always pay for the
berries fob cars, provided they are
grown in sufficient quantities to war
rant the buyers in being on the
ground in person.
8. The average value of a fair
strawberry crop is $3.50 per acre. OF
course, a good grower, Who handles
his crop inteligently, and provided
the season is good, Will average con-
more.
9. 1t requires a great deal Of
work, and very close attention to sue
cessfully grow strawberries, and only
that class Of people who are used to
hard, painstaking, detail work and
application, can make a success of
tbs industry.
10. It requires about four piekers
per acre to properly market the ber-
ries,
Ill. On crop yielding a gross re-
turn of about $3.50 per acre, the ex-
pense ran about as follows this year
