The following timely and interest ing article from a recent issue of the Baton Rouge New Advocate is com mended to the careful consideration of every thinking farmer, business man and citizen of Louisiana: A Country Picnic. The editorial "we" took in an East Baton Rouge country picnic the oth r day. It was the first he had attended in this section since a visit to Mich igan a few years ago enabled him to take in a similar-or similarly named--affair in Allegan county in that state. The trip to Burris schc!lhcure tcol cne over ten miles of East Ba'o: Rouge so-called public road, th:o.iph a land as smiling and fertile as a man would wish to see, with 1 sh hay fields, il:-kelt fence rows, pa t old hou-es rotting to di:ay, wit never a new barn or a new dwellincl, and almost no farm homesteads with any sign of progressive pro'sptrty. The trip was on a Saturday after noon. One passed not a single wag on that seemed to have carried pro duce of cou'ntry land to town, not a new vehicle with a farmer in it. It was a land smiling, fer'i e-empti. The trpp to tihe Michigan p1cnic was six miles out, from a co'lity nlar ik:t town and county seat, over roil ing hills, where six inches of attrition soil on glacial deposit, aided by lib e:al fertilizer and leguminous alter a:te crops, kept the fertility alive. The road was a O0-foot macadamized thoroughfare, thorc:ghly drained There were no field fences, but the space between the roadway and the trim fields was bare of weeds, tmore closely cropped than most Baton Rouge lawns. One pas ed trim white farmhouses, with wo.;en wire fence.:, great orchards adjoining wide gar dens, with -windmills towering above giant red barns, pastures, with sleek I!olsteins or Jerceys or HereLo:de . The fields were as carefully tenldee as the best patch of ground on the -L. Ss. U. experiiment station ftarm wheat, corn, li'-ckeifeat timhthv, iiith lat, clover, in their respective stage for the season. 0 Whi 'e country sclhcolhounes witl shade trees about t.iem, shads to the vehicles and horces.of the chil dren, wide playgroauds were never out of sight. The writer was passed by the rural mail deliveryman, scn of a wealthy farmer, a rollege graduate, who nade hlis route twice a day in an auto. H t delivered to each homestead, not only ma l-order catanogces and tax notices, but copies of the county pa per, one or two magazinecs, farm a'nd :eneral, either a Grand Rapids, a Detroit or a Chicago daily. It was Saturday after'ncon in Mich 1-an, as well as on the other o ca .on in Louisiana.

To get to Burris schbco! hoPu:e, one nrt'edl off the eman road, through a iund-ied yards of wx e.d- 'rowin, stuIn: clogged path, to a tiny clearing where a rahsnla::kie, o'ne-rcoml. ilD celle., unpaintedt, wnd-ri n board ,it ihad scrl"-ed only la t year as a "public schicol." To get to the 'Mii:higr:o picnic i'icund, one turf:edi from t':e Inman coad, tlhrough a farm orchtard, whe'ie r- -'t hon:'st of apsil awore o 011n the ground be'ng packed for market, down to tlie shores of a little lake. I'here a neat :o:atiouse was suir o:Ind. d by a flock of rowbcats, ca iioa, gasoline launches belong'ng to the farmcers in the neighthorhcol. Why the differerce? Not altogether boll weevil. That part of Michigan, this part of Louisiana, were settled at:out the same time. The Michiganders came from Ohio, Virginia, New England; the ninth ward Louisianians, many of .them from Te:nesee, Kent.ucky. Virginia. There is a, sprinkling of German and Dutch about Allegan. There is a sprinkling of German and French in the ninth ward. The M!ichigan land is not po0sessod of one-half the natural fertility and adaptability of that. in East Baton? Roug --and the climate i Louisiana is incomliaraMbl. The difference, origitally, camet in Eist Baton iouge's dep'ilcntl:eO onl negro labor. In Mit:hig:an th' weuiltiihy fatrmer workeid with his own Iands, lhil in IAouisi tna tih wealthy fa!m er's son of anci-nt days got the idea in his head that he couldn't do any thinrt save practice law, give medi cine or boss niggers. By this differc:ce, Michigan "got the jump" on rural Louisiana. But this difference no more thanl offsets the difference in natural fer The difference is Imaintained by good roads, good country schoi:s, ru ral free deliveryt. At the bottom of1' all are the good roads, easicr to build in Michigan than hero, just as essential here as in Michigan.

The Beaumont Journal lays down the following rules for parents who f 'ire sending their children to school: 1. 1 resolve to see only the good r 'oints in my child's teacher. aud to I peak about them to Tier and ethers. c 2. I resclve to think always that t Eh.l teacher is trying to do her best: 1 3. I reeoive not "o criticise the teacher in the presentce of my chit- 1 Iren or others. i 4. I resolve to mithe some condi tions as favorable as possible for the - physical, material, moral well-being of c .na childtren. 5. I resolve to visit the school as I often as ponsible, that the teacher nay be assured of my interest in her and in the well-bein-g, of the pupils. 1 (i. I resolve that._' I feel positive hat the teacher is usis lunwihe mith- I ds with miy chitldre, I will have a I 'riendly talk with iere about the mat or before referring st to higher au .hority. 7. I resolve to fi idut what my soy's associations ar,: --ether 'or not ing led into bad liabits, vheh oier he s smoking cigarettes or using tobacco n any form. 8. I resolve to make gentle en:` :orcement of obedience to wise rules of vital principle in order that the aone and school may work in har nony. If these resolutions were adopted by parents everywhere net only would the burden of the teachers be liiht. moc, but the progress of their' hi! Iren greatly enhaniced.-Lake Charles Times. The Weather and the Crops. The past week's weather has been "all to the good" from the stand point of the planters, although a bit too hot for the average mortal, the temperatures recorded throughout h'e greate.r part of the pe.tiod having !'een some degrees higher than thio:se loted at any previbus time this sum mer.. While causing a certain degree of distress to man and beast, the torrid spell has had the effect of rlying the fields and roads and thus rendered loss;ible the harvesting cf the rice and cotton crops at a rate of progress somewhat in line with normnal conditions. While the rice outlook is not what might be termed promising, still it is a whole lot more encouraging now ha.n was the case several weeks ago, iind the indications are that the yield will be materially in excess of esti nintes made during the recent wet :pell. The daily receipts of rough rice at the Donaldsonville rice mill have as sumed large proportions and the big plant is now operating on full time. Much cf Ihe rice is quite wet and a great deal of it is sun-cracked, but every , ffcrt is being made to manu facture the very best grade of the cereal possible from the rather un satisfactory material at hand, and so-re nice looking lots are being turn ed out. Nothing much was expected of cot ton locally this year and hence the growVerS of this crop will not be :reatly disappointed, although the 1yield will be far short of what. would have been obtained under ordinary conditions. The harvesting of the corn and Iha 'rops is under way, and as both of! S;hose products were materially datm szed during the recent prolonged Wn.t spell. the yield will be considtr iablyl curtailed as compared with ithe average output.

Ilow different the man is from the wontaul Women live 'with thin, scrawny, undersii:d, insignificant, tbald hui- ubands. They praise those husbatnds constantly. If he can't glow a biar!d, then the wife hates a beard. If he Iras a b(ard like the mlalle Of a roar ing lion, then the wife thinks tlhe beardi is "''o manly". If the husian I is bald, the wife thinks that is a sign of brains anid refhlmectnt, or she says she thinks so. She evein poinis our the fact that bur'gla.rs are unvtier bald! If the husband is a thin-legged, narrow-shouldered little person, Ihti wife hates "mere brute stretngth." if the husband is as strong an a prize-fighter, thrn the wife st.udie up the listorics of strong men like Flo'reules, and i·s always asking the h!sband in public to double up hia arm and let people feel his miu.: le, ur to ai ,ll out his enormous ch'sl, iBut what do husbands do?
