Cultivation Of Grapes in Connection
With Irrigation Wells May Be
Big Winner in Some Sections

ably one cause Of this IN the PAST
has been the high cost Of fuel for
the engines.
Proceeding with this line of
thought Mr.. Parker called attention
10 another idea that has been In his
mind, and in the minds OF many
Others, for years, that constantly
grows in importance from year 20
year. This idea Is the propagation
of grapes on the fine land here
abouts, in connection with these un-
failing irrigation wells.
Mr.. Parker stated that II had long
been known here that this is nat
ural grape country rs they make
fruit every year If given water and
attention and the insects are kept
Oft the vines. True, some years, the
crop IS heavier than others, but
this is caused through the freezing
OF the first buds, which can in a
measure be stopped with proper cul-
tivation. Everyone who tries grapes
in this country, said the speaker,
makes a go of IT, Recently, he said,
wealthy stockman and banker of
Arizona, was the guest and visited
some of the grape vineyards in TINS
vicinity. This man, who has been
around quite a bit, was amazed at
the crops grown here and said that
there was no reason why this land
should not be worth 1000 per acre
II grapes could be grown so pro-
fusely in connection with irrigation
wells
IL believe" said Mr. Parker, that
the time will come when our grand
children will laugh at the struggles
we are now undergoing 10 develop
this country and wonder what on
earth we wasted so much time for
trying 10 find out what was best
suited for this locality as n money
crop"
The speaker called attention 10 the
fact that there is always ready
market for grapes everywhere and
that il irrigation well owners would
try out ten acres in connection with
their wells they would hit upon a
combination that would mean wealth
and rapid development for this en-
tire shallow water belt. He sug-
gested that the Chamber of Com |
meree take up with the government,
the Santa Fe railroad, the Capitol /
Syndicate and the various grape I
Juice companies the question Of rails /
ing, handling and marketing OF /
grapes in this neighborhood, and /
pursue the matter TO the bottom.
After discussion this motion was
adopted and the Secretary was in
structed 70 accumulate this informa-
ton at once.
Following Mr. Parker Mr. j. J. I
Raster. president Of the FL Paso
Coffin Co, who was a dinner guest, |
supported the idea in strong talk,
stating that il grapes could be pro-
duced here every year there was no |
question about the money crop Of /

Civil Case Involy.
ing Millions De.
cid Here

Possibly the biggest civil case, from
the standpoint of the amount OF
money and the varying interests in
volved, which has ever been tried in
Bienville parish, was decided here lsat
week by Judge J. f. Reynolds.
The case involved the titles to oil
lands in the Homer Field, worth mil
lions of dollars, and judgment was rem
dered against the plaintiff.
The suit was filed by Mrs. Matte
Bowers, a distant relative OF the
Shaws, who own some Of the richest
oil lands in theHomer field, and was
for the purpose OF recovering a large
portion of the lands, and the proceeds
Of the oil produced since operations
began.
Judge Reynolds, in rendering his de-
cision, held that as the land had been
in the indisputed possession of the de-
PENDANTS, the Shaws and their as
signees and transferees under what
was apparently good title for ap-
proximately so years, that the plain
tiff's case was barred by prescription
or limitation.

Tuesdays Election
Created Little In
terest Locally

Tuesday, election day, was very quiet
here, as there was only the constitu-
tional amendments and the nominees
for congressman, and members of the
parish school board voted upon, and
there being no opposition for any OF
the candidates the election amounted
to little more than matter OF form,
with the possible exception Of Amend
ment No. 3, on which there was some
difference Of opinion among the vot-
ers.
We regret that we have been un-
able to give a summary Of the vote
over the parish at this time.
From what we have been able to
learn Of the Stock Law Election it was
carried by small majorities in Wards
2 and 4, but defeated in Wards 3, $,
6 and 7. As this is written one or two
boxes are still to be heard from.
We hope to be able to give an, &C.
curate report on this in our next IS

INTEREST IN FARM BUREAU GROW
ING MORE COTTON PLEDGED

AT a meeting composed of num-
Der OF prominent farmers held in Ar
cadia Tuesday afternoon, plans were
formulated for holding meetings at
Arcadia and Bienville, November IA,
for the purpose of outlining the OBJ
jects of the Louisiana Farm Bureau
Cotton Growers Cooperative Market
ing Association. The meeting at Ar
cadia will be held at the Victory
Theatre at $50 p. m. and at Ben-
vile at 1000 a. H., in the usual place
for holding meetings.
Mr.. c. O. Moser, secretary OF the
American Cotton Growers Exchange,
which is the overhead organization
that coordinates the activities OF the
different state associations, will be the
speaker for the occasion. Mr., Moser
is an able speaker and is possibly tie
best informed man throughout DC
country on the cooperative marketing
of cotton, having been connected with
, the movement since its inception.
At the present time there are nine
states organized, with approximately
three million bales OF cotton that is
being marketed from this plan this
year, with 100000 signed up for 1928,
with the signing up increasing all the
time.
With the completion of Louisianas
organization and the Upland AsSocla-
ton which is being formulated in
Mississippi, there will be approximate
ly 4NO0OO bales to be marketed on
this plan next year.
4 committee Of interested farmers
hay. been appointed to call upon the
me- Ihants, bankers, and business men
in General, and request that the places
OF business be closed and that every
one attend these meetings in each OF
the places mentioned.
When we view the fact that with
four states operating on this plan last
year, with 100000 bales OF cotton, that
each farmer connected with the move
ment received a net return OF $llW
per bale more than the man who sold
his cotton outright in the usual man
ner, we can at once see what such an
institution would mean to the State OF
Louisiana.
According to statements of men ia
miliar with the cotton situation, the
activities of these associations have
stabilized the price of cotton to the
extent of at least two to four cents
this year.
For example, the cotton market this
year opened up at around lSc. With
the best harvesting season we have
had in fourteen years, and panic
for dumping cotton on the market, the
price has never broken, but gradual
ly increased to l9c and Zoe, at which
time from 95 to 90 per cent of the
cotton was out of the hands Of the
producer and today is selling for
around "a IL cents. This means that
Louisiana has lost the difference be-
tween the original price and the pres
ent price, which would have meant
in round figures, some $500 or $500
per bale, that would have been spent
in Louisiana institutions and the i'm
provement of Louisiana homes, in
stead OF enriching cotton spectators
and gamblers,
These facts should convince any
| fair minded man OF the Importance of
attending these meetings, and hearing
the plans discussed for remedying
these CONDITIONS.
Read the display advertisement OF
meetings, which appears elsewhere in
this paper.
