Potatoes For FAN Planting.

Il. 8. u. Press Bulletin
The Lookout Moutain- Irish potato
is bred for fall planting. In this lati-
tude {Baton Rougel they should be
planted little earlier ha n the
Triumph, say, between July 18TH and
August 1st. Tho tubers of this potato
should be cut in the same manner as
when planting spring potatoes. For
hest results commercial fertilizer
should lie applied ut the rate Of 800 to
1000 pounds equal parts Of acid phos-
phate and cotton seed meal per acre.
This fertilizer should be put down sew
eral weeks before planting, so az to
give the cotton seed meal time to rot
The ideal time to plant is on cloudy
day or late In the afternoon. It VIII
be much easier on the planter and
much better for the potatoes. The
1 land. Of course. should be in the bes1
j OF condition for best results.
The horticultural Department OF tn
Louisiana State University will be glat
/ to cooperate with buyers In securinl

ments should be made as soon as pos
aIsible to secure this stock, as the de

Judge Roberts, of Minden, was here
Tuesday morning to convene the jury
term Of Bossier District Court. The
weather thus far this week has been
exceptionally warm, but the mill Of /
justice has constantly ground away. |
During the three days some criminal
cases have, of course, been disposed of,
but the trial Of ]. Perry did not take
place to-day, because Of other cases
Overlapping the time allotted for their |
trial. The Perry case was called about |
four o'clock this afternoon, but when
the court was adjourned for the day.
mt about six o'clock. only one juror had
been chosen,
The reader may gain an impression
OF the interest manifested in the Perry
trial when the magnitude Of the crowd
present is reported. This morning
people from all sections OF the parish,
especially North Bossier. continued to
come ill The heat Of the day and
clouds of dust formed no bar. During
the morning hours there was evident
disappointment that the case was not
called for trial. But those here to wit
ness the trial continued to linger
around the Court House and court
room. In fact, during the better part of
the day the court room was literally
crowded. some spectators being seated
in the windows of the big room and
others. unable to find seats anywhere,
stood for hours to witness the pro-
ceedings. Such keen interest, Of

2ss q
Don't give up the ship! said Com
mander James Lawrence, OF the Chesd-
pcake, as he was carried below, NOR
tally wounded, something more than a
century ago. But that remark now has
4 place in history only. 1t is more
timely and Of far more importance,

For some years past now the Cotton
Belt Company has operated a motor
car between shreveport and Lewisviile,
Ark Recently the company has peti-
toned the Louisiana Public Service
Commission for authority to dicontinue
the service.
1t occurs to us tlnlt the little car isI
very necessary to the convenience OF
all patrons of the railway company rel
siding along the line of its Shreveport
branch and the scope Of country con-
tigu0us thereto. We are not informed
as to what service, II any. Is to he sn-I
augurated III lieu Of the operation OF

But it goes without saying that a coach
attached to local freight train would
not be satisfactory That has been

lby schedule, II affords means Of
travel at desirable hours of the day, it
makes good time and is well kept
and. last, but not least, 1t brings to all
OF MS our morning paper and other
mail. Truth il. the local motor car Is
1 4 mighty convenient institution and its

We suggest that counter petitions

looks as if government ownership

The open correspondence between
President Harding and an ardent
woman advocate of disarmament, is
doing much to remove a widespread
misunderstanding as to the scope
and extreme aims of the coming
disarmament conference. Perhaps
this broad term, disarmament" is
principally responsible for the i'm
preston that the object of the con-
ference is to arrange for the i'm
mediate disarmament of the great
nations. AS the President points
out in his letter to Mrs. Fried, world
conditions are such and war so re-
cent, that universal disarmament is
not only too much to be hoped for,
but not to be desired, at this time.
An agreement for limitation of
armament is the most that can be
expected of the conference Nations
so recently at each others threats
cannot be expected Immediately to
beat their swords into plowshares, "
much though the world needs to
turn from thoughts of war to
thoughts of industry, but any agree
ment to limitation of armament will
be step in the right direction.

Government aid for state road i'm
provement would be systematized
under the road law now pending in
Congress, with prospects favorable
Tor its passage. Under the pro-
posed law, each state highway de-
partment will select a definite sys-
tenn of roads on which the Federal
funds are to be expended. This sys-
tenn is limited to Z per cent. of the
road mileage Of each state, but a 2
per cent. system will connect their
main travelled highways with those
OF the adjoining states The roads
which connect the county seats and
large market centers pass through
the most densely populated rural
portions Of each county, 1t will
take most states ten years to i'm
prove this per cent. system, but
the law provides for additional
mileage to be added to the system
or improved roads as soon as the,
nrst per cent. is completed. Once
Federal money is applied to a GER
tain road, the states shall see that
they Are properly and continuously
Where state fails in
this task it fails to get any more
Federal funds until the road is re-
paired.

The commissioner of internal reve-

cation to the internal revenue col
lectors, that all home brewers, even
though their connections contain
less than one-half of one per cent
of alcohol, are violators of the pro-
hibition laws. In other words, it is
declared illegal to manufacture
such without a permit, and the de-
partment will issue no permits. So
much for the law: the enforcement
of it is another story that/may in
volve the constitutional rights of
man in his home. The enforcement
officials have some job on their
hands. to stop home brewing The
mere announcement that it is vio-
lation of the law will not do 1t.
