observations OF the successful
methods used by Mr.. Guigo, an ex-
perlenced French Market gardener
OF Vaudeville, prompts this article
Mr.. 'Guigo planted White Star pota-
Toes two or three weeks ago, and
will in another week or two be plant
ing Triumphs, and his ability to get
large yields should make his prac-
tlce fair indication to other gar
deners.
There is quite a large area of lanl
IN this parish, which, if it were got
| ten into shape by clearing and drain
age, would be good potato lands.
lhe famous "Applie Pie Ridge"
many miles in length near Lake Pom
chartrain and lands adjoining, the
high land along the river and bayou
fronts, hammock lands, and a large
area Of the hill land in the northern
portion of the parish, are all adapt
able if cleared with little cost for
drainage, and the area can be great
ly increased in many wet spots or
the flats and in the hills by a thor
ough drainage system. Is it profit
able to make these improvements for
raising Irish potatoes? Unquestion-
ably.
U. S. Farmers Bulletin No. 1905
says: The value of the early po
tato crop in the South, because of its
higher selling price, is out of all pro-
portion to the number Of bushels"
The larger part Of the southern
crop is marketed at a season OF the
year when the consuming public is
eager for fresh vegetables and is
willing to pay "a premium for them
For this reason, the early-crop pota-
toes from the South sell at much
higher price as a rule than the old
potatoes competing with them in the
market. The total value of the
southern crop, therefore, is much
greater than its bulk would indi-
cate At present the only districts
in Louisiana or this section of the
South which. ship any considerable
number Of Irish potatoes are Alex
andria and Bayou Lafourche Our
shipping and marketing facilities on
this side of the river and north of
the Lake are greatly superior, and
this certainly is a convincing reason
why our farmers should get together
in cooperative organiza tions and
plan to raise Irish potatoes especially
for the spring and early summer
market in the north.
Cooperative marketing associa-
tions are invaluable to the farmers
who raise for this early market A
thorough treatment on the subject
of Commercial Handling, Grading
and Marketing Of Potatoes is to be
found in U. S. Farmers Bulletin No.
1853, and other useful information is
contained in U. S. F. B. No. 1850 on

CONVICTION HI TRIMS ST. PAUL
20 TO IL.
Game Fast and Exciting; Sportsman.
ship Displayed by Hi and st.
Paul ROOters Excellent.

Last Wednesday evening the Gov
lngton Hi basketball team met and
defeated the strong st. Paul College
five by the score of 20 to II. The
game was very fast and full of thrills
at all times, with the work of the
Hi team standing out as that of we'll
drilled players, and were able to
find the iron rings for a number OF
very difficult shots.
The first half found the score IL to
with st. Paul on the short end.
This was a big surprise to the St.
Paul cheering sections, as we'll as the
noise makers for Covington Hi. The
high school boys displayed a great
game of basketball in this half and
cleanly out-passed and out-shot the
boys from the college. However, >,
they showed gameness and played
until the whistle blew announcing
the end of the game.
During the intermission between
halves the fair sex of Covington Hi
and the town in full were swapping
their ability as noise makers with
those of the college boys, who de-
serve a great deal of credit for the
manner in which they supported
their team. All of this spirit indi-
Gates the great amount of enthusi-
asm and rivalry which goes to make
up real sportsmanship contest and
be near rivals to the annual classics
between the big colleges.
The work of the entire Hi team
deserves special mention for the man
ner in which they played together.
particularly so when it is taken into
consideration that they were not
playing on their home court How
ever, the work of Burris at forward.
and .Bulloch at center, Fauntleroy at
guard, deserves special mention for.

A SMILE AND A TASK.

Keep smile on your lips; it is better
To joyfully, hopefully try
For the end you would gain, than
to fetter
Your life with moan and a. sigh.
There are clouds in the armament
ever
The beauty Of heaven to mar,
Yet night so profound there is never
But somewhere is shining star.
Keep a task in your hands; you
must labor;
By deeds is true happiness won;
For stranger and friends and for
neighbor,
Rejoice there is much to be done.
Endeavor by crowning life's duty
With joy-giving song and with
smile,
To make the world fuller of beauty
Because you are In 1t q while,
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-02-11

and Bulloch never failed to bob up
where they were needed, keeping the
ball in Hi territory most of the time.
Tom Frederick also played a good
game at guard. Stay with 'em,
Tom,' you could hear the girls
shout. The work of "John-A" Bur-
ris at forWarl was very good. His
work in recovering the ball at the
very time that ST. Paul apparently
would carry the ball down the field,
was very noticeable In "John-A's''
famous double-shot formation he
managed to cage the ball five times.
Fitzgerald, at forward, played a very
good game and managed to cage the
ball several times.
The work Of the St. Paul team was
very good at times, then again they
would deliberately pass the ball into
the hands of the opposing players
Their goal work in the second half
was much better than in the first as
evidenced by the score, which was
8-S, while in the first half it was
1924. The work of Broussard at
center, ]. Delinty, guard, deserves
special mention for the manner in
which they played. Delinty at times
displayed flashes of speed and was
largely responsible for the Hi score
being held as low as it was. He re-
peated.y advanced the ball back to
the St. Paul goals and was re-
sponsiblble for a good deal of the
PASSWORD. Broussard played a good
game for the Saints, covering the
entire field and making several gool
goals. The work of the other st.
Paul boys was excellent at times, but
somehow they slowed up at very
critical moments. During the last
few minutes of play the college
coach displayed his beef trust by
throwing in Fatty" Johnson, who

SteriIizinu Instruments,

After trying many plans, l believe
that the best way to sterilize delicate
cutting instruments is to lay them in
pure carboIic acid for ten minutes, then
rinse them off in sterile water, place
them in 90 per cent alcohol for 15
minutes, and finally lay them in tray
of sterile water, writes DR. Edwin B.
Miller, assistant professor of opthal
mology in the University of Pennsyl-
vania in an article in the New York
Medical Journal. In the bottom of each
tray there should be a sterile gauze
pad. They are then laid out on a
table covered with a sterile sheet In
the order in which they are to be used
in the operation This saves confusion
and aids the assistant to pick up quick
" the needed instrument They are
athen covered with sterile towel until
the surgeon is ready to use them.

Water 80 Cents q Gallon.

Water isn't quite up to the price of
liquor, but it is almost there at Cow
Camp the driest point on the Silver
Peak range, near TOnopah, New. They
are paying 80 cents a gallon for it, and
residents are agreeing that it is cheap
at the price. There isn't any cOmpeti-
ton The water man has a monopoly
and no one envies him his job.
The nearest watering place is IL
miles away. For five miles the water
is carried in a blackboard drawn by
horses. Then the road narrOws to q
trail and horses are unhitched, the wa
ter bags tied over their backs, and the
remainder of the trip Is slow. 1t takes
about a day TO make the trip.
In the old days, when saloons
quenched thirsts, there wasn't the de-
mand for water that there is now.

Ingenious Device That VIII Assuredly
Be Welcomed by All Absent
Minded Husbands.

Stay -at-home husbands are prone to
forget to water the flowers that adorn
the sitting room, even though specially
charged to do so by absent wives.
They will doubtless welcome device
just invented by a Frenchman, NJ Pin
son, which enables plants literally TO
water themselves and to do so with
efficiency, taking neither too much nor
too little to drink. This device, which
obtained a gold medal in France, con-
sfsts of a flower pot OF the usual
shape, but having a double wall The
description runs, according to the Lit
erary Digest:
The space between the two walls
constitutes a reservoir of water. Into
this there extends two to four curved
tubes, according to the shape Of the
pot. Each Of these tubes contains q
wick. The lower end of the tube dips
into the reservoir of water while the
other end is bent so as to dip beneath
the surface of the soil in the inner
pot. Consequently We really have a
set of siphons which are set in action
by the capillary attraction which
causes the water to rise in the wick
Thus there is a gentle but steady flow
of moisture to the plant.
Ip order to adapt the apparatus to
the peeds Of any individual plant 1t is
only necessary to remove the inner pot
after the end of "a hours and note
whether the outer pot still holds any
water. If 80, the plant is oversup'
| Piled, since the excess of water has
been drawn by gravity to the bottom
| of the inner pot and escaped through
the hole in the center into the outer
