Mrs. Rosa Powell OFT, mother of

Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1921-04-21

One of the most important meet
ings, from an agricultural standpoint,
ever held in the city of BOgalusa was
on Friday morning, when Commits
sioner Of Agriculture Harry d. VIII
son appeared before a representative
body of farmers and business men to
discuss the feasibility of making Boz
galusa the center of great straw
berry raising district. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce, Judge B. d..
Talley presiding.
Mr.. Hull, sweet potato expert OF
the agricultural department; Walter
S. Ayres, industrial commissioner OF
the N. o. G. NJ; DR.. j. H. Slaughter
and Mr.. Wilson made excellent talks.
If there was a farmer present who
is interested in raising sweet pOta-
toes, he was we'll repaid by the adj
dress of Mr.. Hull. He told how to
raise large crops and pointed out the
necessity of marketing the crop. He
urged the farmers of every commun-
ity to build large sweet potato stor-
age warehouse. Without sweet pota-
toes being cured, the price is certain
to be low and most of them will rot.
Mr.. Hull showed that it would be
profitable to cure the potatoes and
explained how easy it was to build
such a house from an old building.
The shrinkage and loss by curing
would be about Is per cent, while the
price would be more than double. He
explained that in order to get the
best prices, it would be necessary to
grade the potatoes, for the farmers
to organize and let one man do the
selling. He stated that there was
brisk competition in this line, but
that there was also a great demand
and predicted that if the farmers
around Bogalusa would erect large
storage house, grade potatoes and
carry out the, suggestion he outlined,
they would make better money off
their sweet potato crop. He said that
in the state of Louisiana there are
something like 800 potato ware
houses, while in some counties in
Tennessee there were more storage
houses than in the entire state OF
Louisiana Mr. Hull said it was Just
as necessary to have a potato st0F-
age as it was to have a corn crib.
Just to show how important it is
to have curing house of this kind
it is stated that in progressive farm
ing communities when one asks about
a poor farmer, they generally remark
that she is so slow that he does not
even have a sweet potato house"
Wilson on Strawberries
Harry D. Wilson proved as much
of an entertainer in his address as an
instructor in giving valuable infor-
nation about strawberries. He stated
that he was going to- tell the truth,
something that he did not always do
in his speeches. Hhe denied that the
strawberry farmers were rolling in
wealth and impresstd upon the audi
ence that there was plenty of hard

Harry D. Wilson to Chamber Of Commerce and
Farmers of Washington Parish.

work to be done, that the risk of crop
failures was greater than in most
other, crops, but that it was a good
paying spring crop Tor the farmers,
provided sufficient acreage was
planted to enable shipments to be
made in carload lots, that the proper
plants be secured, and he recon-
mended the Klondike, because of
their size, color and sturdiness. He
warned the farmers not to plant over
10 acres and advises that half that
amount would be even better. He
said that from personal knowledge he
knew of many men who have raised
from two to five acres of strawber-
ries and made a big profit That
they raised 10 acres and lost, and
when they went beyond 10 acres they
made complete failures. He said it
would be best for no farmer to plant
more than five acres and that there
was no reason why strawberry raising
would not be as successful here as in
Tangipahoa parish.
'Never fear about the market be-
ing flooded with strawberries, there
lis never enough to 60 around" said
Mr.. Wilson. He advocated planting
in October and that special care
should be given then, and said he be-
iieved it best to plant new plants each
fall and recommended the Tennessee
plants, which last fall cost S125 to
plant five acres. He was inclined to
lhipk the plants would be cheaper
ibis year.
Mr.. Wilson stated that if farmer
and his family could pick and crate
the berries without employing help,
that they would realize approximately
$3.50 more from the five acres of ber-
ries.
With 4 box factory in Bogalusa,
the boxes could be purchased for less
money than the farmers pay in Tan
gipahoa parish.
Several questions were asked Mr..
Wilson. relative to the raising of ber-
ries and he answered each clearly,
thereby making the raising of straw
berries 50 simple that any business
nan would have felt he had sufficient
instructions on how to successfully
Giant, harvest, pack and sell the
bafries.
Mr. Wilson urged the cooperation
of the farmers. He stated that lack
of cooperation on the part of the
farmers in Tangipahoa had cost them
thousands of dollars and that at one
time there were four different or
carnations in the independence COM
munity. Now there is only one, the
secretary handling the entire crop
from that section, and that the straw
berry raisers are doing better than
ever. before. In the carly days the
secretary would make contract for

GREATER FEDERAL AID TOPROTECT
WOODS FROM FIRES IS EXPECTED

Federal appropriation for forest
fire fighting in Louisiana viii be
doubled and possibly tripled in 1921.
This was announced Saturday by j.

leave for Baton Rouge Monday to
appear before the Constitutional Con-
vention Committee on Conservation.

81 can confidently predict that
Louisiana's allotment out of the fed
eral appropriation for forest fire
fighting for 1921 will be doubled and
very probably tripled," said Mr. Pc
tiers. ''The federal appropriation has
been increased to 100000, and
ably increased. In 1920 your state
was awarded $4600-you ought to
get somewhere near three times this
amount" he said following his re-
turn from Bogalusa, where he spent
several days as the guest of the Great
Southern Lumber Company.
Mr.. Forbes declared the state ap-
preparation for combating forest fires
was $4,000 which, added to the
probable aid from the government,
will bring the total sum for this pur-
pose in the state up to nearly $780,.
600.
'Forest fires do millions of dollars
damage year in a state and only
sufficient money for forest patrol is
required to reduce this amount to the
minimum" said Mr.. Peters. "Some
persons have an idea that fires do
land good. Nothing could be more
fallacious. The first thing we have
to do is to get this idea out Of lot
of peoples heads"
Mr.. Peters unqualifiedly endorsed
the proposed state forest policy rs

in some places wider, the tornado

PLENTY OF MASH
BUT NO STILL

A new wrinkle was put on an old
game last week when the flicker"
Squad of Washington parish found a
60-gallon barrel of mash hid away in
the smokehouse of a farm near Bo-
galusa, and after getting all ''het up
over their find, were told that the
contraband was hog medicine.
According to the farmer, who adj
mitted that he used some four gal
Ions of syrup and bushel and half
Of corn, the soured mash containing
a good percentage. of alcohol was the
best little hog remedy in the world.
BY checking up the stock on the
farm it was estimated that each hog
on the premises was entitled to ap-
proximately two gallons Of the mash,
enough to keep him in state OF
ETHEREAL happiness for a period Of
some two weeks,
No still could be located on the
farm by the searchers.
