Readers will be interested, as we were, in the article by Mr. Jas. P. Bowman on the question of securing fair treatment from commission mer chants to shippers of truck. He sug gests three ways of meeting the diffl culty. The first two are probably too expensive at this time, in view of the comparatively small quantity of truck shipped. In fact some" trial has al ready been made here of the first method suggested. As to The True Democrat's "show ing up" the sales, we should be glad to do so if exact data were furnished us, whether favorable or unfavorable to the shipper. It could be published as a market report, without comment, and could not be construed as libelous, if all data were published, good as well as bad. However, organization and co operation would be necessary, so that the reports would be regular and sys tematic. The truckers should get to gether and arrange to make regular reports of all returns from their ship ments. The True Democrat would publish same, free of charge.

PETER TROCCHIANO, Phone 95-R SELLING GOOD 8HOES SINCE 1908. Mr. Radway of the Agricultural Ex periment Station at Baton Ronge w s the guest of Mr. Chas. Barrow last week. He came up to inspect the dairy which has been put in operation at Belmont for the furnishing of cream to a New Orleans creamery. Mr. Rad way expressed himself as entirely satis fled and much pleased with the ar rangement of the dairy, handling of the cows, etc. The test of cream, he considers remarkable,'as it showed 47 per cent butter fat. Mr. Barrow ships a large quantity of cream several times a week. The skimmed milk is- fed to the stock and poultry, of which a large quantity are raised. Mrs. Barrow's poultry is said to be a show in itself. The children of Grace Churph Sunday School had a pound party in the court house yard last Friday afternoon, for benefit of the Orphans' Home in New Orleans. There were about 125 pounds.
