DAT RUST CAUSING
MUCH LOST IN STATE

Dat rust is causing much loss
in Louisiana during the season of
1921 than has for a number of
years, according to C. w. Edger-
ton, plant pathologist of the Ex-
pertinent Stations. In some sec
lions, especially in the south part
OF the State, great many of the
fields are so badly damaged that
they will hardly be worth cutting
In fact, some fields are being pillow
ed up and ground put into other
crops, he says.
"This rust epidemic is a result
of planting oat varieties that are
not resistant of the disease" says
DIR. Edgerton. "The only oats
which show marked resistance to
the rust in southern Louisiana are
those varieties which have been
selected and developed here in
Guiding the Patterson, McGeehee.
Stewart and a few other similar
ones. During the fall of 1920, there
was not sufficient seed of these
varieties to supply the demand
and consequently a large amount
OF seed was brought in from
Texas and other states. The seed
brought in was mostly of the
Texas Rust Proof variety but this
variety is not resistant to the rust
in Louisiana. 1t is the fields plant
ed with the Texas Rust Proof oats
that show the most injury from
rust.
while it may be early to think
about next years crop before this
one is harvested, it will pay every
farmer to be on the watch fol
available seed OF The homegrown,
varieties tint ~ known to ~ +,
>ista;,t 10 The dst. 1t will be =, ,;er
TO obtain this seed shortly after
threshlng time than it will be at
planting time in the fall"

Following is a report OF the
Economic department of the Jen-
nings and Welsh high schools,
made after inspection by Clyde
Mobley, assistant in Home EcOnO-
mics:
Welsh
With the splendid new building
recently finished, the home econo-
mics department now has a more
attractive background than for
merry. To be convinced of the
girls delight in getting into a love
Iy new building, one hadOnly to
watch the busy workers during a
class period, during which time
windows were cleaned and polish
ed, tables and stoves arranged.
and equipment put in place. The
dining room was in the process
of being finished by the class in
household management, and with
the combined efforts of teacher
and classes, this new department
will soon be arranged quite salts
faCtorily. The work done by sew.
ing classes showed that good
practical problems were given
and very thorough and accurate
work carried out in each problem.
Jennings
Two classes were observed in
this school, both of which showed
active interest in class discussion
and problems. Due to the present
schedule, the eight grade is not
taking sewing, which is unfor-
tunate, and it is hoped that this
can be adjusted next term. Rooms
are somewhat crowded under pre-
sent conditions, but with the sew
ing building, which is soon to be
occupied, conditions will be most
favorable. Four rooms have been
for home economics and
some splendid equipment install
ed, all of which indicates that this
department has received much
from the board and
superintendent.
The teachers and pupils in these
schools are to be congratulated
on having such splendid buildings
and with the present activities
and enthusiasm in the home
economics departments, there is
no doubt that the board will be
amply repaid for time and money
spent in providing these improve
mentS.
Respectfully submitted,
