COINCIDENCES OF
PAST FEW MONTHS
Nominations Made to Demo
cratic State Convention
at Baton Rouge.
St. Tammany parish has had re
markable politichl coincidences in
the past few months. It has lost
within that short time two public of
ficials unusually popular, both men
of high integrity. Assessor Craw
ford died while an unopposed nomi
nee for re-election with a ,part of his
term unexpired. The Parish Execu
tive Committee nominated Warren
Thomas. Sheriff Brewster died an
unopposed nominee for his officc,
with a part of his term unexpired
Last Monday the Parish Executive
Committee nominated Walter Ga
latas, who had been chief deputy un
der Sehriff Brewster for eighteen
years.
But aside from the peculiarities of
these happenings, the most remark
able fact'is the nomination of Mr.
Galatas by acclamation, there not
having been a dissenting voice. In
the meantime under the law Coroner
IBulloch became acting sheriff and
,Mr. Galatas was sworn in as chief
deputy. In a day or so Mr. Galatas
received his appointment by Gover
nor Pleasant as sheriff for the un
expired term. In the meantime
Sheriff Bulloch had drawn up papers
as Coroner addressed to himself as
sheriff, in due course of legal pro
cedure.
The nomination was made by the
members of the new Parish Execu
tive Committee, on motion of Judge
Thomas M. Burns.
George R. Dutsch was made chair
man of the new committee and Guy
A. Smith secretary.
The committee at this meeting
proceeded to elect delegates to the
State Convention which will elect
delegates to the National Conventtan
which meets in San Francisco. This
action was taken to avoid the ex
ense of an extra meeting in June.

:eective Committee meeting will be

AN INDUSTRY IS
RECOMMENDED
ST. TAMMANY
PARISH
Cane Growing Put Forward
As One of the Crops
for Money Making.
CANE GROWN HERE
AND ON CUBAN SOIL
Warner Speaks From Ex
perience in St. Tammany
Parish and in Cuba.
(By Wm. H. Warner, Guantanamo,
Cuba.)
I write these few lines to the farm
srs of St. Tammany parish 'because
I feel that it will be advantageous
ror them to know something more of
the great sugar industry, which, if
properly handled, will -bring our par
ish to the top as an agricultural an i
sugar manufacturing section of Lou
isiana.
As I have been fortunate enougn
to be among those who have had the
opportunity of tilling the virgin so.1
of St. Tammany parish, especilly
that of Covington. it is after seven
years of work and study with this
soil that I come to the conclusion
that it is better adapted to sugar
cane than to any other crop. I
;peak this from experience, and not
through any theoretical and impra:
tical channels.
Any one who has had the least ex
perience with the cultivation of cane,
knows that it requires less work the
year round than any other crop. In
proportion to the yield, the coat of
cultivation is very small, and any
one who doubts the veracity of this
statement has my challenge to "try
it out."
From my experience with cane in
3t. Tammany parish I apprehend that
the average yield per acre is from
20 to 30 tone. To make my point
more clear, I take for example a S.
I'ammany farmer who has five acres
in cane. At the rate of 25 tons per
scre this man cuta 125 tons. Each
ton of cane in Louisiana should aver
age about 125 pounds of sugar. At
present prices of sugar the total re
ceived from his five acres should
range between $2500 and $3003.
Deducting the expenses of cultiva
tion and handling of the crop, whirh
should not be more than $500, woul,
it not be worth while to try a crop
that pays so well, also one which
Lasts two or three years without re
planting? Could anything be more
Inducive?
Of course, the raising of the cane
would necessitate the erection of a
couple of sugar and syrup mills in
3t. Tammany. The farmers will not
raise the cane until they are sure of
a mill to grind it. Some of them
may not care to make sugar or syrup
on their own resources, but prefer
to sell the;r cane to the mill for
grinding. This year the price of
cane in Louisiana ranged from $15
to $17 per ton. Here in Cuba, al
though the cane grows twelve months
In the year, with no frosts to retard
growth, the crop yields about 40
tons per acre and sells for $14 to $17
per ton. Of course, the cane yields
more sugar per ton than Louisiana
cane, but this, I think, is due more
to the different climatic conditions.
The per cent of sucrose in Cuban
cane is about 15.50, while we have
an average per cent of fiber at 11.78.
This is not much greater than the
averages in Louisiana cane, but the
purity of the juice is higher, being
about 88 per cent.
But it is not my object to make a
comparison between the State of
Louisiana land Province de Orient'
de Cuba, insofar as their cane rais
ing qualities are concerned. I mere
ly want to let the St. Tammany peo
ple know what I think of the future
cane production of St. Tammany
There is no argument produced that
can defy the statement that our par
ish is adapted to cane raising. There
is no person who can prove that cane
cultivation is not a paying proposI
tion, if properly handled. And more
than that, show me the person who
says that the St. Tammany farmers
do not want to make money. Well
then, if St. 'Tammany and cane rais
ing go together, and -money and
farmers are good friends, what shall
prevent the cparish of St. Tammauv
from coming to the front in the great
sugar industry? The answer is, our
farmers must be given a chance.
They need the co-operation of the
business men, merchants, manufac
turers and officials. Incidently I
might say that the best friends tbhe
farmer has is the plow and the hoe.
Here's hoping that next time I
have the pleasure of putting my fot
on the best soil in Louisiana-St.
Tammany soil-that I shall see all
around me sugar cane gorwing ever.y
where. In the interior of these fields
there will be several large sugar and
syrup mills, and all over the parish
will be seen prosperous looktnug
planters, ever eager to get more land
to raise more cane.

LITTLE BELGIAN QUEEN OF
SONG LIKES AMERICA.
Mille. Alice Verlet, known in her
own beloved country as the "Littie
Belgian Queen of Song," loves Amer
ica and its people. But her thoughts
will wander back to her other home.
Mille. Verlet was living in her lovely
Little house near Brussela when the
war started. Of course, she was
obliged to flee and her home was
pretty well wrecked by the Germans.
Mille. Verlet's piano, her furniture,
her records, were all destroyed with
that peculiar efficiency the Germans
displayed in such cases.
But the house where she lived with
the Grand Opera Company in Paris
had very different kind of tenants.
After Mille. Verlet came to delight
America with her singing, her Paris.
home was rented to some American
officers, who, she knows, will treat
her cherished possessions with a far
different spirit.
Mille. Verlet's concert in Coving
ton on Saturday, April 24th, is some
thing to look forward to, both to:
Covington and for the singer herseLf.
For Mille. Verlet loves the Americans
and enjoys singing for them.

POTATO HOUSE
A BIG PLAN
FOR THIS
YEAR
Sweet Potato Storage An
nounced To Be a
Success.
NEXT YEAR'S CROP
. EXPECTED TO BE BTG
Potatoes Thus Held Bring
the Highest Market
Prices.
By Karl Treen.
The sweet potato storage house at
Covington, operated by the'Associa
tion of Commerce, is a success this
year. It is a demonstration of the
best methon of saving the crop from
fall when the price is low until in
spring when it is good. Plans are
on foot to erect a larger house here
this summer to take care of the larg
er crop to be planted this year.
The Arst step now is to get all the
farmers who expect to furnish us
potatoes to not plant this year's po
tato crop where last year's crop of
potatoes was, and to plant pure Porto
Rican variety, and to disinfect the
seed before bedding, or to get seed
or "draws" from the Covington As
sociation of Commerce that are dia
ease free.
Potato esed may be disinfected by
immersing five (5) minutes in a
solution of one-quarter pint 40 per
cent commercial formaldehyde in
12-1-2 gallons of water.
These instructions wore given in
The Farmer several weeks ago.
Farmers wanting slips of draws
should make application now. se
advertisement in this issue.
The idea is prevalent that yams
cured in a storage house will not
germinate. This ia erronepus. They
are beginning to sprout in the house
now. This does not damage them,
however. The temperature for cur
ing is only 85 degrees. This is only
summer heat. Ventilation is more
important than heat. Dryness is es
sential. These three factors curs
the yams. The temperature must be
regular, hence the necessity of "dead
air" apace in the walls.
Any one wishing it will be given a
bulletin on disinfecting, production,
grading and storing, fertilising, etc.
The shrinkage due to loss of mois
ture is about ten per cent in, the stor
age houses. Potatoes in bank loose
about that much in five months; in
the house they lose it in the fourteen
day curing process. This closes the
pores of the potatoes and toughens
the skin, thus preventing rot spores
from entering the potatoes, and even
arresting any rot already started.
ieoss from rot usually runs about
one per cent, but in many houses
his year the loss has -been much
greater than this. This was the case
in the Covington house. The spread
of the rot disease over the state is
responsible for these larger losses.
In addition to this, the lose in the
Covington 'house was increased be
cause the farmers did not get their
crates before digging and thus avoid
handling and housing the potatoes
so much, but dug them and later go;t
the orates. They did this in spite of
the fact that the Association of Com
merce urged them to do it the other
way. The potatoes came with some
too small or too large, despite the
dimensions sent out to the growers.
and this necessitated handling the
stock again at the house to re-grade
it. The principal reason of the ab
normal loss was the fact that from"
the time the house was opened up
and the potatoes commenced to come
in, until the house was closed, 25
days elapsed. The farmers respond
ed too slowly. Even then the hoase
was not yet filled. *
These conditions will not exist this
year. It was a new thing last year.
Farmers had not expected it. They
will have been planning for it a tull
year by this fall. The rules known
by the Association of Commerce to
insure success will be rigidly enforc
ed this tall.
The R. F. G's. held thejr regular
meeting Wednesday afternoon at the
home of Miss Madie Bradley. After
the business session several games
of checkers were played. The Aret
prize was won by Miss Laura Perre
and, the booby by Miss Jean Caul
ldid. Delicious refreshments were
served. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Miss Jean Oaul
feld.

REGARDING FEDERAL AID FOR
ST. TAMMANY PARISH.
In the good roads statement published by The Times-Picayune the other
day St. Tammany parish was not down in either the completed or the
!rojected awards. This has caused some comment, in view of the fa:t
that we are entitled to federal aid in the construction of roads under our
$750,000.00 bond issue.
The fact is, that we are not down in either list because the arrange
ment or agreement by which we are to receive federal aid is not yet com
pleted The attorney for the police jury, Mr. A. D. Schwartz, has now
under consideration a proposition to be submitted to the police jury,
whereby we will get federal aid to the extent of $220,000.00, with the
probabsity of an added $41,000.00 on the Covington-Prankllnton road.
Until the matter is brought before the police jury and acted upon it can
not be stated just where we stand as to federal aid.
