And that was all the satisfaction
Andrew got.
Going up on the boat It struck him
that the captain or purser had not
been around to collect his fare. Pres.

better of him and he went to the cap

money had not been collected. But he
did not have any better luck with him
than he had had with the hotel man !;
an eleven year old boy couldn't pay
for anything on that boat.
Arrived in Whatcom Andrew stayed
with family that knew his brother
until his brother could be notified to
come in for him. A month to the day
since he had left the east coast he had
landed in the timber-circled town. Sew
eral days he stayed with that family
before arrangements could be made
to send him up to Lynden, but at the
end of that time there was no charge
for his board or room.

BEGIN PLANNING THE HOME
ORCHARD.
University Station,
Baton Rouge, La.


Oct. 12-Plan to plant fruit trees
this fall, advises B. Szymoniak, hor-
ticulturist in the State University Ex-
tension Division. Plow, disc or spade
the ground in . selected place that
is well drained, fertile and where
there is no white 'pipe-clay" sub
soil. Do not plant trees on level
ground that is poorly drained.
Elevate the land by blowing up and
making a mound on which the trees
should be planted. On billy land
this will not be necessary. Water
drainage is very important; fruit
trees will not stand wet feet" he
says.
"Be sure about the proper va
rieties brought from reliable nur-
SERIES" says Mr.. Szymoniak. Don't
buy from unreliable tree agents. Get
a list of varieties Of fruits adapted
to northern, or southern Louisiana,
which ever section the trees are to
be planted. Consult your farm DEM
onstration agent about varieties and
where to buy trees, or write to the
Extension Department, L. s. u,
Baton Rouge, for Bulletin or growing
fruit for Home Use.
"The fruit trees must be planted
properly. In the fall is the best time
to set them out. Space the trees
at the proper distances. Be careful
to plant fig trees near fences, OF
buildings, because the roots are shall
low growing and must not be dis
turbed. Pear trees should be planted
where no cultivation is given be-
cause the roots must be checked in
growth which is done by growing
the pear trees in hard sod land
Grapes require deep, fertile, dry
soil, therefore elevate the land fol-
grapes. Peaches require light sandy
drained soil for the soft roots to
grow; loosen the soil by adding humus
and provide drainage. Plums grow
well in moist land, but not too wet.
"Study the requirements Of the
roots Of fruit trees and provide the
needs; prune the trees. beginning
with the pruning Of the roots when
the trees are set out; spray the trees
each winter with concentrated lime
sulphur solution for San Jose scale.
Keep the insects and diseases off
by spraying each season; then cul-
tivate the orchard. Fruit trees will
not live and produce without proper
care and attention to all details.
Now is the time to plan and select
the trees for the home orchard"

LOUISIANA FURS.
t. Joseph, La, Sept. 10, 1921.

t. Joseph, La, Sept. 10, 1921.
: New Orleans, September 23,CThe
piping season in Louisiana opens
vember /, and continues until the
LIST Of January. The fur industry
Louisiana is no small item in the
production Of the State, in the most
favorable seasons amounting to two
or three million dollars. The season
last closed was not q favorable one.
owing to the high price Of furs during
the war period and the sharp decline
in 1920. New Orleans dealers lost
rs to 80 per cent on the stock Left
over, while the new catch brought
only one-third the price of previous
year.
The result Of this. sharp decline was
only about one-fourth Of the trappers
of the State engaged in the aoccupa-
ton, most Of them being well sup
piled with money from the high
prices Of the two or three previous
years, and being unwilling to tran
for the lower prices. The catch while
much smaller was superior in quality,
for trappers were advised beforehand
of the fall price, and began to trap
late in consequence, knowing that
only prime furA would bring anything
like remunerative prices.
Louisiana produces more fur pelts
than any section Of the world Of like
area, and New Orleans is the largest
fur market in America for such
staple furs as racoon, mink and musk.
rat, St. Louis being its neares. COM
petitor. One furhouse John A. Vesey
Co.. receives shipments Of furs from
all parts of North America, including
every province Of Canada, Newfound-
land and Alaska, and has now en-
route a consignment Of furs from the
interior Of Russia. The fur dealers
Of New Orleans rank with the largest
in the United States, and have con-
nection with the principal fur mark
cts of the world.
New York City is the great manu-
featuring center Of the country, hand
ling IS per cent Of the domestic
business. In these manufactures
large quantities Of Louisiana furs
are used, though they lose their iden-
tity as Louisiana products, bringing
larger prices when labeled as coming
from more northern localities. There
are no mink sets sold rs Louisiana
mink, though in fact Is per cent Of
the mink sets originated in Louis
lana. Similarly the popular, but high
priced Hudson Seal" Is in reality
Louisiana muslIrat.
While it il true - . general prop
osition that furs from more rigorous
climates are better in grade than
those from Louisiana, for . reason
quite obvious, Louisiana mink and
otter are worth as much ~ those
caught on the coast Of British Colum-
bia and the lower coast Of Alaska.

OCTOBER RICE REPORT FOR
LOUISIANA.

United States Department of Agri-
culture, Bureau of Market and
Crop Estimates, 339 Post Office
Building, New Orleans, La, Oct.
8, 1921.
The condition of the rice crop in
Louisiana on October 1, was two
points less than on Sept. 1, according
to a report just issued by Mr.. Lionel
L. Jones, Agricultural Statistican at
New Orleans Of the Bureau of Mark
cts and Crop Estimates, U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture.
According to the reports of large
number Of rice correspondents bear
ing an average date Of October 1,
the condition of the crop on that date
was 1870 Of a normal. This compares
with 80 20 on August 1, 1921; $50
on Sept. - 1921; 1870 on October
1, 1920; 1870 on October 1, 1919;
1920 on October 1, 1918; and with
S4.aT the 10-year average Of con-
dition on October 1.
A condition of 1870 on October
1, forecasts probable yield per acre
Of approximately 1922 bushes, and q
total production for the state of ap-
proximately 1000 bushels. In
1920 the average yield per acre was
SO bushels and the production 25,-
200, 900 bushels. In 1919 the pro-
duction was 19,712,000 bushels OF
production (1915-1920). The average
yield per acre for the past 9 years
is 1872 bushels.
The final outturn will probably be
larger or smaller than 1854, 900
bushels, according as conditions
hereafter are better or worse than
average conditions.
The use of seed not up 70 standard
and the general decreased use OF
fertilizer this year have had their
effects. Yields in many sections are
unsatisfactory while blight is report
ed from some quarters. In many in
stances farmers have been short Of
funds to properly prepare their soil,
buy fertilizer, and water and care
for the crop.
The percentage condition of rice in
Louisiana by parishes on October l.,
is as follows, comparison being with
normal condition Of growth and
vitality giving promise Of full
yield per acre represented by 100
per cent:
Acadia "a, Allen SO, Calcasieu S5,

sion n, Assumption 80, East Carroll

st. Charles 80, st. James Is, st. John
80, st. Tanfnany 81, West Baton
Rouge Is, Iberia IS, st. Martin 70,
and St. Mary IS.
For The United States.
The condition of rice on October
1, was 1857 of a normal. This COM
pares with 1880 on September 1,
1921; 88.1To on October 1, 1920;
and with $3.50 the 10-year average
Of condition on October 1.
A condition Of 1857 on October
1, forecasts a production Of ap-
proximately 100000 bushels IN
1921. Last year the production was
53,700,000 bushels. The average an
nual production for the past six
ysars was 100000 bushels.
