STATE OWNS BIG PART OF
PROVEN GAS-LAND AREAS
Plans for Developing Pipe Lines Re
vsals Vast UndevelOPed Resources.

Baton Rouge. - Discussion Of plans
for developing the Monroe gas field
and for piping natural gas to centers
of distribution has brought to light in
fee simple large portion of the pro-
ven area of the gas district.
Fred ]. Grace, register of the stale
land office, is authority for the asser-
ton that the state is the owner of APP
proximately 100000 acres Of the prov
en- gas territory. This pubHcly-owned
property consists of the bottoms and
banks of the Ouachita river, Bayou
Bartholomew and other navigable
streams and bodies of water in that
section.
The State is in position to profit by
the development of the field and the
construction of pipe lines to New Or
leans, Baton Rouge, Alexandria and
and other centers.
According to Mr.. Grace, who has
the records in his office and is in a
position to know, the property owned
by the state in the Monroe district is at
least 100000 acres. 1t may be more
than that, for the reason that the i'm
its Of the gas field have added 3S
square miles. bringing the total prov
en- area up to $50 square miles. Other
test wells may extend the field.
The State is also large property
owner in the proven area of the Terre-
bonnie gas field, Mr.. Grace asserts.
Bayou Terrebonne, the bottom and
banks of which stream arc owned by
the State, runs within few hundred
feet Of the original wells and the new
well in the Terrebonne district.

ORDER CERTIFIED
POTATO SEED NOW

The Nebraska dry-land certified Tri-
umph seed stock is making a good
showing in the South, especially as it
seems to be relatively low in mosaic
disease and farmers who expect to pur-
chase seed from Nebraska should make
to do so as soon as pos
sible, as it is likely that the demands
will be great, advises G. L. Tiebout,
horticuIturist in the State University
Extension Division. Mr.. Tiebout sug-
gests that all parties should read Ex-
pertinent Station Bulletin No. 1871,
The Mosaic Disease of the Irish Po-
tato and the Use of Certified Potato
Seed" before buying Triumph seed.
While attending the Convention and
Show of the Nebraska Potato Improve
ment Association recently held in
SCOTS Bluff, Nebraska, Mr.. Tiebout
gathered some information relative to
the prices of the Nebraska certified
Triumph potatoes. He found that the
prices were ranging from $2.75 to
1888 per hundred weight fob. Ne
braska shipping points. The carload
rate from Alliance, Nebraska to Ba-
ton Rouge, La, is 90 cents per hum
bred pounds plus 5 cents per hundred
pounds for heating service if shipped
under carriers protection"
Beauregard farmers are expecting to
plant $1,000 lbs. of Irish potatoes next
season.

SECRETARY WALLACE SAYS
FARMERS WILL PROSPER 1922


Is an interview BY Secretary Of the
ii S. Dept. this week, he says present
conditions indicate the coming year
should Be better one for the farmer
and those who deal with him than was
1921"
Credit conditions are better both
through regular channels and through
the special agencies created to meet
the farmers needs. Interest rates are
softening.
Productions already made in freight
rates on farm products tighten BY that
much the transportation burden which
he farmer has been carrying.
Cost Of producing farm crops will
Be lower relatively in 1922 than in
1921.
"The paralyzing effect of the sud
den Irop in prices last year is wearing
off, and farmers will enter the New
Year more hopefully, believing the
worst is over.
Farmers are coming to see more
clearly that the task of putting farming
on sound basis is really up to them
and that through organization they can
reduce marketing costs. In this they
will have increasing help from the de-
partment Of agriculture and the vari-
Gus state agricultural colleges.
IN the industrial and financial cen
tiers there is coming to be better I'M
Outstanding Of the important part the
farmer plays in our general economic
scheme, and consequently decidedly
more intelligent attitude toward him
and his problems"

APRoBLEM FOR You

A friend Of the Democrat brought in
the following problem for solution by
its readers: How many hens will a
man own in five years under the fol-
lowing conditions:
Ist. That none of the female off
spring die. End. That every Bird chick
en- is a cockerel. Bird. That each hen
viii begin to lay at the age Of seven
and one-haIf months. 4th. That ev-
cry hen will lay three-fourths of an
egg each day. 5th. That each hen
viii set at the age of 3 months. 9th.
That l3 eggs constitute a setting. 9TH.
That every 5th egg in nfertile. 9th.
That every sixth egg breaks. 9th. That
cockerels are not to be counted in the
total.
This is not trick nor joke, but a
question put in good faith. 1t is a
simple and practical question.
Now get your noodle going and
send in your answer.

All Are Early at Work.

The day begins early for everybody
in Belgium, and particularly with the
wage-earners. More than half of Bel
GUMS population lives outside the
towns, and they are up at their work
before the gray dawn is dispersed by
the rising sun, and on clear mornings
the lights of hundreds of cottages
may be seen vying with the stars as
they twinkle forth their message of
households bestirring.
In the towns and cities the people
are downtown almost as early as their
neighbOrs across the English Chan
mel are at breakfast. They get their
midday meal around noon, and they
go home for 1t, since remarkably low
tramway fares make this possible. So
it is that, instead Of a mug Of milk
and a sandwich at some quick lunch,
many Belgian burgher shuts up shop
at u, goes home to his largest meal
Of the day, eats it leisurely, and re-
turns downtown by o'clock.
The Belgian government has always
felt keen interest in the welfare Of
the wage-earner and the man of small
affairs, and has made it possible for
them to buy homes on easy terms.
The national savings bank is empow-
cred to make loans to househOlders
! for buying or building homes, and to
insure their lives, so that in the event
of death the family will not lose its
equity in the place, and can use the
insurance to wipe off the debt.
Taxes were made exceedingly low
on small property owned by those
who tenant it.
The entire western portion of the
country resembles one vast market
garden. There are no fences marking
the boundaries of the many small
tracts, but rather little trenches that
separate one farmers place from the
others. Tens of thousands of acres
of the toughest kind of land have
beer converted into splendid trucking
gardens by western Belgians In 1885
there was wild stretch of land west
of the Seheldt river called the Pays
de Waes, uncultivated and uninhabi
ted. Today it is one of the most fertile
sections of this remarkable country
supporting 500 people to the square
mile. with truck farming as It's prin
cipal industry.
