VACCINATINC PIGS
IS RECOMMENDED

There are certain. sections in Cali
fornia and elsewhere III which the
raising of swine without vaccination
is Il hazardous occupation. Many
swine raisers in these sections object
to vaccination ,on account of the rela
lively high cost of vaccinating the
larger animals. Inspectors of the divis-
ion of animal husbandry, California de-
partment of agriculture report that
they frequently find farmers who are
still of the opinion that prevailed for
some time after the discovery of the
'Serum and Virus method - of protect
ing swine against cholera, that small
spigs, particularly sucking pigs, can
not be successfully and permanently
immunized against this disease This
is an error conclusivelv proved by
Dorset of the United States bureau OF
animal industry, whose exhaustive ex-
periments have shown that serum and
Virus, when properly used, will impart
solid immunity even to sucking pigs
and this protection thus afforded by
the injection of serum and virus will
be lasting.
In addition to being much less ex-
pensive, on account of the small amount
of serum used, vaccination of pigs
when they are small has many other
advantages, not the least of which is
that they are very easily handled at
this stage. In addition if pigs are vac,
cinated about two weeks before wean
ing there is hardly ever any apparent
setback.

CORES SPONDENCE
COURSES ON
INCREASE

Recent enrolments of agricultural
correspondence courses at the Unlver-
sity of California have been heavy,
according to H. NJ. Butterfield, super
visor of these courses.
During the month of January there
were 234 enrollments which is great
er number for one month than any
month since the early part of 1920. AL
though over $4,000 students have en-
rolled for one or more of these courses
since they have been started the
courses still seem to attract great
deal of interest.
Twentyeight different agricultural
correspondence courses are now avail
able and several new ones are being
prepared. Circular 113 describing the
courses may be obtained on applica-
tion to the University of California
college of agriculture, Berkeley.

to produce crops. 1t is determine
chiefly by three things:

to produce crops. 1t is determined
chiefly by three things:
The texture of the soil.
Its richness i'll available plant food.
Its moisture.
The texture of the soil is its physical
condition as to being mellow, cloddy or
hard. Plants cannot get a start il,
hard, lumpy soil.
In addition to mineral matter, all
soils contain decayed vegetable or ami
NAL matter. This is called humus.
Humus holds moisture, makes the soil
loose, warm and mellow. 1t gives life
to the soil, makes a home for bacteria,
prevents teaching and baking and
makes the soil productive.
Soils that have little humus are un-
productive. They may be rich in phos
pIorous, potash and other plant foods
but they will still be unproductive
Much of this great store of plant food
is locked up, else it would have leach
ed from the soil or been used up long
ago.
by intelligent farming a little of j
is made available year after year. Tht
longer plants are grown on any lane
and plant life returned to the soil
the richer the soil becomes. In build
ing the soil, nature has centuries al
her disposal, man has but a few years
He must work rapidly and intelligently
He cannot afford to make mistakes.
The soil nrust be made to continuous
ly grow profitable crops. 1t may b'
seriously impaired for the growing o.
any crop if the humus is allowed tt
burn out of it. 1t then becomes leachs
and quickly loses it's moisture.

SOIL FERTILITY,
FUNDAMENTAL OF
FARMING
EVERETT TRUE
Bv EDGAR w. COOLEY

Agricultural EXUenSlOn bepdrtlIeut,
International Harvester Co.
When we deal with the soil we are
dealing with the real fundamental of
agriculture 1t takes two things to
make great country-the soil and the
people.
We may have fertile soil but if we
have shiftless, inefficient people hv
ing on it, we are not going to make
much out of it. We may have good
humanity but without a productive
soil we cannot make u great country.
Walking over. it all Our lives, the
soil has become of little Importance to
many of us. Some people think the
land we are tilling today is the same
it was u hundred years ago. We do
not realize that the soil is constantly
changing just as people are changing
from day to day.
The soil is not an inert mass; it is
the scene of life and activity. Soil
that is inactive is unproductive. Cir
cuIation. Of air and water, absorption
of heats evaporation, decay OF plants
and soil particles countless minute or
ganisms-all these are the activities of
fertile soil.
The fertility of the land is its power

Bogalusa Boy Makes
Best Record in Is Years

Lloyd ". Brumfield of Boga1usa,
La, just 10 years of age, with pep,
courage and Il Benjamin Franklin de-
termination, completed both the conf
mercial and shorthand courses at
Spencer Business College in four
months time to the day. Mr.. Brum-
field beats all records of the past rs
years, said Prof. Spencer, and this
record should be a genuine inspira-
ton to every ether boy in the coun-
try, as it furnishes proof conclusive
what a young fellow can really ac-
complish by getting on his job with
the determination Of a good fireman
at work.
Mr.. Brumfield has accepted posi-
ton as combination man at Bogalusa
and will begin his career Monday.

Big Crowd Honor
Mothers on Sunday

A great crowd Of citizens gathered
in Goodyear Park on last Sunday aft
ernOOn to attend the Mothers Day
services which were neld here to COM
memOrate this day, set apart nation
ally to pay tribute to motherhood.
The BOgalusa Band, under the di-
rection of George E. Hart, conducted
a concert for thirty minutes prior to
the opening of the services. The
crowd gathered early and enjoyed the
selections rendered by this musical
organization.
Promptly at o'clock, Rev. E. c.
Gum, pastor of the First Methodist
Church, as master of ceremonies call
ed the meeting to order and an
nounced the first song, America"
which all sang with enthusiasm. K. /.
Bean led the singing.
Rev. James E. Dean, pastor of the
Superior Avenue Baptist Church, then
offered up prayer especially fitting
the occasion. At this point on the
program the principal speaker, DR..
David Freshman of New Orleans,
was introduced.
Dr. Frischman's message was very
interesting, instructive and high in
praises Of vomanhood. especially
mothers. During his discourse he
brought out a number of points with
reference to the present attitude of
the world toward motherhood and had
many practical suggestions to offer
which would go long way toward
making conditions better generally,
if followed. All who were privileged
to hear DR.. Freshman weer greatly
impressed as they listened attontively
to his remarks.
Following the speaking, persons
who brought flowers for the purpose,
placed them in a large framework of
letters which spelled the word "Moth-
err" While this was being done the
entire gathering sang "Home Sweet
Home.
Rev. c. H. Maury, of the First
Presbyterian Church, pronounced the
benediction.

FORMER N. o. C. N.
CONDUCTOR DEAD

L. I. Napier, former conductor of
the New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad Company, died at the Jack
son Sanitarium after a protracted i'll
ness, Thursday, May II, 1922. Mr..
Napier was born near Williamsburg,
CovngtOn county, Mississippi, May
%, 1882, and at the early age of IS
years became a flagman of the G. &
S. I. Railroad. In recognition Of the
faithful service rendered in that ca
pacity, he was promoted to conductor
NoY. Is, 1904, although he was but
% years of age at that time. Short
ly thereafter he left the service of the
G. & s. /. to accept more lucrative
position with the NJ. ]. & K. C. Rail-
road, remaining with that road until
June 10, 1907, when he accepted a
position as conductor with the n. O..
G. n, in which capacity he remained
until forced to resign on account of
i'll health, March II, 1920.
During the last several years of
his service with the N. o. G. N. Rail
road, Mr.. Napier was passenger con-
ductor on the Shore Line Division,
and so diligently did he perform his
work that not a single complaint came
from any of tn epatrons of that di-
vision during that time. His affable
disposition and courteous manner won
him friends everywhere, ard he was
recognized as being one of the most
popular conductors in the service.
Early in life Mr.. Napier united
with the NJ. E. Church and remained
a faithful and consistent member I'M
til the end. He was a Mason and be-
longed to the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, and also to the Conductors
Protective Assurance Company. He
was thirty-second degree Mason and
a Shriner.
On Friday, Nav u, his remains
were taken to Silver Creek, Miss,
where a legion of sorrowing relatives
and friends gathered to behold for the
last time all that was mortal of him
whom they knew and loved.
In the death of Mr.. Napier, his
family has lost a loving son and
brother, Mississippi has lost one Of
her sterling citizens and the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad Com
pany has lost an employee, than whom
there is none more faithful, Peace to
his ashes,

Work On Big Fill
Starts This Week

As the Mississippi approach to the
Pearl river drawbridge at Bogalusa
lis nearing completion, force of men
have been placed at work to make
a large fill and gravel the road lead
ing from the bridge to the high land
across the swamp. The road from
the swamp to Poplarville is being
graded and gravelled and in a few
months the road will compare favor
ably with the highways leading from
Bogalusa.
Motorists can travel in any direc-
ton and over all roads leading from
this city with safety now. The rains
of the week will hardly affect the
worst roads; the fills made on the
swamp road in Pearl River county
last week have packed sufficiently to
permit any car to pass, providing the
keep in the ruts.
If going south or west, it is best
to use the Franklinton Highway, as
the working of the roads in Tangi-
pahoa parish will discommode motor
lists,
