COFFEE RAISED IN LOUISIANA

Edgard, La.-On his farm at Ed
gard, Rudolph Blanchard has grown
successfully a Mexican coffee which
he expects to place on the market
next year. If Mr. Blanchard can
grow this plant in quantities new
industry will have been started in
Louisiana which will not only mean
lower price for coffee in the United
States but an unfailing source of rev.
enue to Louisiana farmers, it was
pointed out.
The pods contain four beans of a
yelloWish green color. One plant
may produce three or four pounds of
coffee, but most plants yield from one
to two pounds. The beans are dried
in the sun at first and must be baked
and ground, and the ground product
may be used to make good Louisiana
grown drip coffee, Mr.. Blanchard
said in telling of his experiment.
The coffee plants require little cul-
tivation and do not grow taller than
a man, thus making it easy to pick
the coffee pods. The expense OF
growing the plant is little more than
that of sowing the seeds and cutting
away the grass and draining the
land. The plants appear to be i'm
mune from insects or plant diseases
and all plants look healthy and pro-
duce we'll
Mr. Blanchard had a demonstra-
ton booth at fair conducted at Ed
gar recently, and all who tasted of
his coffee pronounced it an excellent
beverage. A demonstration booth for
this coffee will be operated at the
South Louisiana Fair in Donaldson
vile so that persons from all parts
OF the state may test its good quail
ties. Growing plants also will be ex-
hibited among the St. John parish
exhibits at the fair.

AMERICAN SHIPS
ARE TO BE DRY
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES DE.
CISloN SWEEPING BOOZE
FROM THE SEA
LONG MOOTED QUESTION
18th Amendment Applies To Ameri
can Ships Anywhere And Prohib-
its Foreign Ships in Our
Ports With Whiskey.

Washington. - Attorney General
Daugserty in sweeping decision has
ruled liquor off American ships
throughout the world and prohibited
the entrance into American waters
of foreign ships carrying liquor
sealed or open.
The decision forces Chairman A
D. Lasker of the Shipping Board to
discontinue the sale of liquor on all
government ships, outside the terri.
torial limits of the United States, pre-
vents the carrying of liquor anywhere
in the world by any privately owned
ships flying the American flag, ana
bars American ports to the ships OF
any nation, unless their liquor stores
are disposed of before they enter the
territorial waters of this country.
The attorney generals decision,
which has been hanging fire for many
months, reverses the ruling of the
former attorney for the United States
Shipping Board, Elmer Schclessinger
OF Chicago
No difficulty will be encountered
with respect to enforcement of the
law as it relates to American ships,
but the decision is certain to precipi-
tate international complications with
the big maritime nations of the world.
Already, the attorney has been in
formed, foreign shipping interests are
prepared to fight in the courts and
will apply for temporary federal in
junction restraining the enforcement
OF the ruling against them until it's
validity can be tested in the courts.
That the ruling eventually will be
upheld in its application to foreign
ships is generally regarded here as
certain. This will make it necessary
for the big foreign lines to make
some arrangements whereby they can
dispose of liquor stores outside the
territorial waters Of this country or
else cease to carry liquor stores.
Political leaders see in the ruling
a boost for the pending ship subidy
legislation, inasmuch as it will have
a tendency marine bill dry members
of Congress, who have been threaten
ing to vote against it, because of the
governments attitude in permitting
the sale of liquor on American ships
The decision of the. attorney gen.
eral was rendered at the request of
1t was followed by a conference at the
White House this afternoon, in which
the president, Secretary of State
Hughes, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, Attorney General Daugherty
and A. D. Lasker, chairman of the

MONTHLY STATE
CROP REPORT
ORYEsT WEATHER EVER KNOWN
THROUGHOUT ALL PARTS OF
THE STATE
COTTON SEASON EARLIEST
Boil Weevii Has Destroyed The Top
Crop But Dry Weather Has Been
Cause OF The Greatest
Damage.

Baton Rouge, LATHE condition of
the cotton crop in Louisiana on Sep
TENDER 25 were seven points lower
than one month ago and three points
below the ten-year average, according
to report issued by Lionel L. James.
agricultural statistician of the bu.
reau OF economics, Department of
Agriculture.
The condition was So per cent of
normal compared with 20 per cent
on July Is and 60 per cent on August
25. The September condition of 1921
was Al per cent, that of 1920 was IL
per cent and that of 1919 was SO per
cent. The ten-year average of condi-
ton on September Is was Sc per cent.
The average deterioration between
August and September Is is five
points, that of this year was seven
points.
The September condition forecasts
an average yield of approximately
1884 pounds of lint cotton an acre.
Total production for the state is fore
cast at 100000 bales. The produc-
ton, however, may be smaller or
larger than the forecast, depending
on conditions before picking.
The average yield last year was
ia pounds an acre and the produc-
ton was 278,S58 bales. Two years
ago production was 387,663 bales,
three years ago it was 297, 481 bales
and four years ago it was 5S7,717
bales.
Deterioration since August was
caused by army worms, premature de-
velopment and boil weevils. The
worms cut leaves from plants in
many sections, opening the stands
to direct sunlight which fastened ma
turity. General hot weather and
drought also fastened maturity. The
weevil has damaged the late crop
materially and, generally speaking,
there is no top crop because Of its
ravages.
A wet spring, late planting, espec-
tally on lands overlooked by the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries, poor
stands and a wet July also were
causes of the low condition of the
crop. ~i
The crop apparently is two-thirds
picked and large percentage is
ginned. From many sections come
reports Of sales as fast as the cot
ton is ginned.

TO use the advertising campaign in order to

the exact circulation OF 1000 TO 5000 in the
immediate ncighborhood OF the retailer
