Mr.. Tiebout thinks that every home
with space available should have a

$129.16 RECEIVED BY LOCAL
TREAS. FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF

A campaign which was inaugurated
by parish superintendent E. H. Fisher
some time ago, has netted $129.16 for
Russian Relief to date, according to
the following list submitted by Miss
Luda Reynolds, who is acting as par.
ish treasurer.
This is indeed a worthy cause. The
seriousness Of conditions in Russia can
hardly be pictured. Besides being
without food and clothing, they are
without seed to plant in the spring, and
due to the fact there will llndOubted-
" be another shortage Of foodstuff at
ter the next harvest. Regardless Of
the effort now being made to send re-
lief to these people, thousands upon
thousands will starve before food has
time to reach them.
Miss Reynolds will accept donations
for this fund, receipt Of which will be
acknowledged in this paper. The fol-

COTTON AND GRAIN EXHIBITED
AT L. S. u.

A Joint exhibit of cotton and grain
recently was made and explained be-
fore the students a. the Louisiana
State University and members OF the
extension force. by G.. 5. Melov,
investigator in cotton marketing, and
X. B. Seeds, specialist in grain
marketing, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The object Of
this display was to show some of the
different grades Of cotton grown In
the U. S., their comparative values,
the best methods Of marketing and
grading; and to exhibit the Federal
standards of grain and the methods
Of grading under those standards
for the purpose of demonstrating
how certain changes in production
methods will give a product that will
receive a better grade and hence COM
mand a better price.
In the cotton section were samples
of grades for the American upland
types, the Sea Island types and the
Egyptian type. Pictures showing the
different steps in the spinning pro-
cess that cotton goes through for the
purpose Of discovering the relation
between foreign matter content and
the real product, methods Of baling
cotton and the plans and specifica-
tions for warehouses were explained
by Mr.. Meloy.
Types Of various grains, including
rice, showing some factors affecting
grades, a panel of the various stages
in the marketing of grain, the grad
ing Of grain from the sampling Of
car in the railroad yard to the final
analysis in the laboratory and the
milling and banking values Of various
wheats which influence the grade, and
the apparatus used in inspecting the
grain were presented by Mr.. Seeds.
Many students availed themselves
Of this opportunity Of getting some
very helpful suggestions and infor-
nation that will supplement their col
lege work. The exhibits were ship
ped from Baton Rouge to Nashville,
Tennessee, where they will be dis
played for the students at Pabody
College.

FRUNE TOMATOES ONCE, AD.
VISES SPECIALIST.

The MOSAIC disease Of tomatoes il
one that is becoming serious in parts
of louisiana. This disease causes the
leaves to turn light green in color
and also retards their development.
In extreme cases, the leaves remain
as narrow strings. Mosaic cuts down
the yield Of the plants to a consider
able extent. II the plants become
infected while young, no more than
fifty per cent of q crop can be ex-
pected. The MOSAIC disease is very
infectious and is readily spread from
plant to plant. A little juice from q
diseased plant placed within the It's
sues Of . healthy plant win produce
infection in . few days time.
Mosaic il spread in the field to
large extent by pruning, according
to C. w. Edgerton, plant patholo-
gist, Experiment Stations, Louisiana
State University. "The juice from
the diseased plants 10 carried to the
healthy ones either on the fingers
or on the pruning knife" he says.
ut 10 not uncommon to see . heavy
MOSAIC infection develop few days
after the plants are pruned. On this
account, it is not desirable to prune
the plants more than is necessary.
Pruning hastens the development Of
the fruit and certain amount of it
ID necessary, but results are liable to
follow too much pruning. One good
pruning 10 usually sufficient. At
that time all Of the shoots up to the
first flower cluster can be removed
and that is usually sufficient for
Louisiana conditions"
