The small farmer should plant from t one-fourth to one-third of his culti rated land In cotton. Oats, or oats mad vetch (planted in the fall) should constitute the main feed crop on ,ip proximately one-third of the farm, and when this crop is harvested in May or early June the land should be planted to soy beans or other forage " that will improve the soil. If I beans are planted the crop can t Sforage or the seed may and sold to the oil mills t avuetion of oil and cake straw or stalks can be used Ing. The acres on the farm should be planted to corn and peas, sorgham, soy beans, sweet potatoes. I peanuts or other crops to meet the \1 reeds of each case and to provide bed for the animals that should be e kept on every cotton farm. Hogs, cat- 1i ie and chickens should be considerd ' \'v a anesesary part of the cotton farm. .I Tke extent to which should be grown li will depend entirely on the ability of farmer to take proper care of and ftrnish an abundance of gr wn feed for their maintl. Another class animals that aoP0ld, generally speaking, be found em every cotton farm are good brood e Mmam4. These can do at least a part - the farm work and raise good horse a1 mule colts. 7br more specific information on Sotton in Louisiana, write to lnson Division, L S.

Editor Tensas Gazette, St. Joseph: Dear Sir-I have just returned from \:tiaram, where I went to see and ,k into the merits of a boll weevil ,,. ichine being manufactured by the tcker Implement Co., of Greensboro, Ala. This machine was patented last year, bunt manufactured in only a very liulited way, and only a few of these niachines were put on the market late in the season. I am personally acquainted with the stockholders and promoters of this machine, and know them to be young men of integrity and sterling worth, who would not connect their names or lend their money and energy to a fraudulent scheme. They think their invention has solved the weevil prob i.m. and have issued a pamphlet con t.utinilg the hearty endorsementof the few who were so fortunate as to ne ti're machines last year. I have I, nown for years, all the writers of these letters of commendation, and etsfa emphatically that they are men ( hner,c,,ty and the higmest integrity, and I am sure that their experience with the machine was just as stated. Mr.W.H. Aly,thsn whom there is no bet for planter in Tensas parislh,acom ranied me to the plantation of Mr. R. L. Allen, who perhaps had an oppor ttnity of giving the machine a more thorough test than any other planter I near ;reensboro. We wished to see end actually talk to a farmer who had i.,1" the machine. Mr. Allen reitera ted the facts stated in hiQ letter of en ,lol'remenlt, and said he considered the ili:uih.ilne all unqualified success, and tiii:t with the use of it, a practically linorlmial crop can he made In spite of ,tll wevil conditions. He thinks that I.- nauing this machine as soon as the w~oevil comes out of hibernation, tully it to 90 per cent can be caught and de vtroved, and says that it gets practi cally all the punctured squares. The macline should be operated continu aliv, or as often as weather conditions will permit. With normal conditions ,one machine will take care of 50 to 60 a-re-s of cotton, as it covers from 8 to i, acres a day. It is claimed for the machine that its damage to the stalk is r:eally nothing as compared to the henelits derived from its use. We nfaw en occasional limb broken. The muachine sold last year for 8100, but as :t .pocial introductory price, will be Soldi from now until March 1 lor $60 f. I,. . point of shipment; on March 1 tile price will be advanced to 070. I have taken the agency for the ma ,!fine in a number of parishes, and or tlered three machines, which I expect in the next few days and will place on exhibition in St. Joseph, Tallulah and Lake Providenee. Persons wishing to get one or more of these machines for trial will do well to wkite or phone me at once. Will be glad t. mail pam phlets to those lnterestet, E. I- QULLEY. Even the quiet of the woodlands is disturbed when the movies ordain a particularly beautiful spot as a loca tion for a feature picture, particularly when Vitagraph is looking for a back ground for their new star, E. H. Both ern, the world's most famous actor. Two log cabins in a vast woodland were what the manuscript called for and immediately preparations were 4tarted for the erection of the neces sars habitations. Thre last scene to be taken in one of these cabins was a fire scene where Mr. Sothern as the repentent husband rescues his girl wife, played by charm ing Peggy Hyland, from the blazing timbers. All went well up to the final point in this scene. Miss Hyland arlisng from her chair suddenly overturns her read ihg lamp, and the blaze starts. Mr. Sothlern, standing outside, waiting for time signal from Director Thomson to rush in and save the broken-hearted wife, became nervous when he saw the ,headway the flames were making in ithe strong wind. Finally the word was given, and rushing through the door of the cabin he found Miss Hy land lying on the floor overcome by smoke. Gathering her small body in his arms he carried her to safety while the camera man unknowingly filmed what nearly became a tragedy. Even when she reached the side lines the little player did not stand up and the entire company worked over her many minutes before she opened her eyee. Quick work on the part of Mr. Sothern saved the day, however, and after a few hours rest she was able to continue her work. The fire scene is one of remarkable realism when the audience watches the little cabin which housed the fugitive society woman, fall to the ground, a wreckage of charred timbers and ashes. This scene is shown in "The Chat tel," the Blue Ribbon Feature which features Mr. Sothern who is ably sup ported by the famous little English star, Peggy Hyland. It will be ex hibited at the Electric Theatre, Thurs day and Friday, March 1 and 2, with a matinee Friday afternoon at 4:30.

After a spir ited contest Mrs. Young was awarded the prize. Mrs. Ratcliff's games are delightful and her guests always ap preciate her hospitality. hrs.

I had just completed an article on / "The Flag" when I was reqaqt5Ig "write up" the patriotic dem tion at the High School today. subject is too tragic. The celebration was pretty and ap propriate with hut one incident to mar its meaning. The yard was filled with children-little girls in Martha Wash ington costumes, whose bright intelli gent faces speak well for the coming of higher education; sturdy, plucky little boys, who will one day grow to be great men. All there, just as bright and as brave as any embryo heroes. But, oh, boys! A LITTLE GIRL RAISED THE FLAG! Not because she was big and strong, for she is as sweet and fragile as any flower that grdws; not because the fres of patri otim are burning brighter In her breast than yours (I'm glad of that), but because she outdistanoed you in her work, and has more merits than you, and that privilege had been given as a reward. What would that great man who "stands first in our hearts" and to whose memory an entire nation un furls its flag today, think, could he have seen the tableau? Wouldn't he have wondered what had become of his men? Our country wants leaders; and, boys, you can never be one unless you wake up and start now. Don't let it be said the girls can do the better work. I know they want to for I read a letter from a girl in New York, who is going to stay there, because every body is busy doing something "worth while." You have a golden oppor tunity and can mould your life sa you wish. Oliver Wendell Holmes says "I'd rather be a bright haired boy, Than reign a gray board king." You may not "always be youthful and laughing and gay," but you can become one of the real patriots, "un dismayed by disaster; unchanged by the turn of fortune." *.
