State Corn Show.

The dates for the State Corn Show
and Farmers Week have been set for
January 9th to 14th, at the Louisiana
State University. This will be the first
attempt to hold state corn show since
the World War and it is hoped that the
success attained will be sufficient to
warrant making the show an annual
affair.
The object Of the show is to make
display of first-class samples of seed
corn grown in Louisiana and by so
doing to give those in attendance the
opportunity of seeing and studying
these samples on display, according to
Floyd w. Spencer, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Louisiana Corn Grow
ers' Association, and corn club agent in
the State University Extension Divis-
ion. There will be entrance classes OF
corn for both men and boys. These
classes will be singles, tens and fifty
ear exhibits. Exhibitors who wish to
sell their corn will be aided in so doing
by members Of the association and OF
the Extension Division.

this reservation during the season. 1t
will be remembered that few years
ago this snowy egret was almost ex-
tinct and that the most drastic laws,
state and national. were required to
preserve the few remaining specimens.
The demand Of women for the plumes
of these birds to ornament their hats
had about wiped out the species and
the end was in sight within year or
two. In addition to the egrets. there
are several other species of herOns on
the reservation, and ducks have found
that they are not only safe there, but
some of the species remain to nest
instead of flying to Hudson Bay to rear
their young. Ducks, migratory and
permanent Species are found in thou
sands.

Pig-club Shipment Cancelled.

Because the pig club children Of
Louisiana have been offered more
money for their pigs by local butchers
than the price they would have re-
ceived for them at Fort Worth, the pig
club shipment of hogs which was to be
made to central market during
November has been cancelled, accord
ing to the swine specialist of the State
University Extension Division, under
whose auspices this project was being
launched, in cooperation with the farm
and home demonstration agents. There
were eighteen carloads Of pigs avail
able for the shipment from the parishes
of Rapides, Webster, Ouachita, Avoy-
elles, Grant, st. Helena, Tangipahoa,
Red River, Franklin, Jefferson Davis,
Acadia. Caldwell, East Baton Rouge,
Ascension, Iberville, Vermillion, st.
Landry and East FeHciana.
When the pig-club shipment plan was
first talked of the club children walked
enthusiastic over the possibility OF re-
ceiying an attractive price for their
pigs, as heretofore local buyers had
been reluctant about paying the chill
dren the prices which they could re
ceive elsewhere The children Were
then forced to find another market
The impractical plan OF each person
shipping his own pigs individually was
| overcome with the pfg-club trainload
shipment. All was going well when thu
local dealers realized that the culmina
ton Of such plan would mean q sub
| sequent shortage Of hogs, so they vol
UNFAIRLY agreed to offer prices which
would behoove the children to accept
/ The specialist in charge of the ship
ment feel that this apparent turn il
the tables Is the greatest achievement
they could have credited to the under
taking, for the ultimate aim Of til,
shipment was to get fair price TO
club hogs so as to encourage children
of Louisiana to raise hogs, and no
to send Louisiana products elsewhere

State Refugees for Wild Fowls.

The establishment of wild life ref
uges in Louisiana has been successful
beyond the hopes of it's most ardent
advocates. The Louisiana refugees are
among the largest in the world, and
though their establishment has been
recent, wild animals have already
learned that sanctuary is to be found
there. 1t is wonderful how wild life
discovers territory that is set apart
for It's protection. 1t has been found
in Canada that as soon as the hunting
season opens. wild animals of every
variety seek refuge in the parks set
aside for their protection. On the
Louisiana state game refugees the same
phenomena has been observed. Ducks
SO wild just outside the limits of that
reservation that one cannot get within
gunshot Of them, within the refuge are
SO tame as to permit approach within
a few feet.
There are four of these refugees along
the Gulf Coast of Louisiana-Rocke-
fellow tract, 5000 acres; Marsh
Island, 1890 acres; Ward McIlhenny
tract. $1,000 acres; State game refuge
1900 acres. In these large tracts of
land set apart as wild life sanctuaries,
native birds are propagating rapidly,
migratory species are finding secure
retreats and fur-bearing animals are
increasing in great numbers. As these
tracts are contiguous the same condi-
tons may be safely regarded as exist
ing in each, and for that reason re-
port recently received by the Louisiana
Conservation Department is of public
interest in showing what is being
accomplished in the way Of perpetual
ton of wild life. An agent stationed
on the Rockefellow tract has written
to the department that he has found
countless numers Of white egrets that
have nestled and reared their young on

The Prosperous South.
. New Orleans Statcs.l

From the New Orleans Sates.1
The electrifying effect of the advance
in cotton OH the South is well known,
but certain phases of the South's indus
trial experience the past year, with
which the country generally Is not
familiar, were Interestingly discussed
by Southern editors who attended the
Democratic National Committee.
The boil weevil, arch enemy of the
cotton planter, has some valuable ac-
complishments to his credit, according
to Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. Where propaganda had failed
or only indifferently succeeded, the boil
weevil has driven the Southern farmer
from sole reliance on cotton into other
crops. In consequence Georgia has
produced 6O,OOOOOO bushels of corn
this year and substantially increased
the yield Of sweet potatoes, hay, cattle
and hogs. This compulsory diversifi-
cation, brought about by the boil
weevil, which made cotton growing
hazardous, means that Georgia can live
on her own resources now, Mr.. Howell
says, and, besides, ship f0odstuffs to
other markets.
Speaking for Alabama, E. w. Bar
rett, editor of the Birmingham Age
Herald, reiterated his Atlanta col
leagues observations as to industrial
impetus occasioned by the cotton ad-
vance, and also remarked upon the
commercial advantages accruing to his
| city and state from the Mississippi
Warrior barge service. Already twelve
ships have been built at Mobile yards
from parts carried there from Birnl-
| ingham in ST. Louis barges and those
ships are now carrying rails and other
steel products from Alabama to Japan.
| Both editors are agreed that the in
| dustrial activity in the South follow
ing the cotton rise is not temporary
| furry but the beginning of long era
of prosperity. With crop diversified
ton fact accomplished and adequate
Transportation, which will come with
the utilization of the rivers, the South
looks forward to an industrial security
and magnitude it has not known before
| Cotton, of course, will continue to be
the money crop, and the boil weevil Is
scourge that must be overcome, but
when it is finally vanquished 1t will
survive in tradition as the curse thai
proved to be a blessing.

Handle Potatoes With Care.

l.. s. U. Press Bulletin.l
The common practice Of making
every third or fourth row heap
row. in digging sweet potatoes and
pitching the potatoes into piles and
then loading them into sacks or loose
in wagons is the cause Of enormous
losses each year in the sweet potato
crop at the time of digging, according
to Nj. Hull, sweet potato specialist in
the State University Extension Divis-
ion. The successful keeping of sweet
potatoes is as much field as a stor-
age problem for good healthy potatoes
must not only be grown but they must
be carefully dug, graded and stored,
he thinks, and continuing, says.
"Such wasteful methods could be
avoided by the use of crates, which can
be purchased from box factories or
made at home, and should be used for
handling the potatoes from the field
to storage These crates should be
taken to the field at the time of dig
ging and placed at intervals along the
row and the merchantable potatoes laid
carefully, not thrown, into them. Sep
arate containers should be used for the
cut, cracked, bruised or burst potatoes
and those too small or too large to
meet the standard grades.
"A spring wagon should be used for
hauling whenever possible, and the
crates should not be loaded without
stripping (placing boards across the
ends of the crates to prevent bruising
by the layers Of crates above). But
several inches Of straw in the beds OF
wagons having no springs will prevent
bruising to some extent.
While the ordinary turn-plow Is the
most common implement used for dig
ging sweet potatoes, there is a special
sweet potato pillow on the market which
should be more widely used. This type
of pillow has rolling Golfers on the beam
to cut the vines ahead Of the pillow and
iron rods, which free the potatoes from
the soil and vines, projecting from the
mOldboard. Sweet potatoes should not
be exposed to the sun very long after
digging; an hour or two to dry them
out is all that Is necessary. They
should never be left out over night,
but should be hauled to the storage
sirable that the soil be comparatively
dry at the time of digging.
The grower is reminded that the
future Of the sweet potato industry of
Louisiana depends solely upon him.
The care with which he handles the
crop will be one Of the big factors in
putting the industry upon a safe and
profitable basis"

Americanism
LEONARD WOOD


TT AMERICANS did not like self
i made men they would be in q con-
slant, state Of rebellion against the
commandment which tells you to love
your neighbor. One of the glories OF
this country is that 1t is the land Of
equal opportunities. Self-made men
are the product of the equality of OPP
portunity. America Il, full Of such
men.
Il 1t were not for the possibilities
which lie In the field Of American OPP
portunity few immigrants would care
to come here and few American-born
youths would like to live here3 The
chance to make ones SELF is the
American chance and It is chance
taken In a lottery where there are a
thousand fold more prizes than blanks.
There is something which might be
said about the self-made man which
perhaps ordinarily is not said nor even
thought about. Every American who
amounts 10 anything is self-made
man. Some Of them are not so called
simply because they may have been
born to riches, but no child born to
riches ever made anything Of himself
unless he underwent the process Of
self-making.
We don't think of men as men unless
they are worthy. 1t Is harder at time!
for boy born to wealth to make any
thing Of himself than 1t Is for DO!
born to poverty In one case the In
centive to effort is absent, while II
the other It is sharply present. Amer
lea Is full of incentives for the &C
quirement of manhood in all that tn
word implies.
It Is safe enough to say that nine
tenths of the men Of worthy lives Il
America are men who have made them
selves and their lives worthy. There !
no royal road to manhood. 1t Is
fairly easy road, however, for the maj
who takes the occasional stumble an
the occasional hard knock with tru
American philosophy and who keep
on unfaltering. America is a land o
opportunity. Self-made men are
part OF its worthy heritage.
