THE GOOD ROAD
COMMISSION
GIVES LINE
ON WORK
Progress of Work Now Go
ing Ahead on the Pub
lic Highways.
FOUR ARMY TRUCKS
GIVEN TO PARISH
Efforts Of Commission To
Have Work Started In
Each Vicinity.
Due to a recent change of decision
with regard to the time that work:
should be advertised it ha:; been nee
vhary for the Good Roads Comm:s
ilon to extend the time on certain
roads from the time previously vet
to s'ch time as would comply with
the law under the new interprert
tion. It is for that reason that the
commission did not open bids on the
Madisonville- Ponchatoula road on
the 2C0th of March. The Commi.
gion now plans to let contracts for
the construction of this road on the
Ed of April (to-day), and will re
ee:ve bids on gravel on the 10th, and
bids fJr the construction of the ,St
T:.: amumr.ny-Lacombe, Middle Road
and Military Road on April 17th. In
additlon to this there has been plac
ed in the paper this week advertise
ments for the grading of the Indian
Tillsge road and the graveling of
the Talisheek-Pearl River and Tall
sheek-Sun road, and the Slidell-Sal:
Bayou road. This will extent the
road work by the Commission to
where there will be some work going
on in each ward of the parish.
With regard to work new under
*eadway, the Range Line road ha.s
been-completed and the outfit moved
to the Chinchuba-Houltonville road
10 fnish up a contract on that road
uusting between Jahncke and the
P olice Jury.
The contractors on the Covington
?-(alisheek road are pushing their
- ork along as rapidly as possible
'nder the conditions and have this
gmat week been receiving gravel and
g*acng came on the road.
The contractors on the Turnpike
,road have been working along bou
not very much progress has been
Made on their job. There is maen
Sid about the shortage of labor, that
tuficient force cannot be had to push
the work any faster.
It will be seen from the way the
,road are distributed around over tha
parish that an effort is being made
by the Commission to have some
work started as soon as possible in
each vicinity, but at the same tic.e
it will be realized that this will wo:k
t great hardship on the Commis
; lion's force in getting around frorm
place to place in keeping the work
d out and ,properly supervised
during construction.
The Commission, after so long a
time, has received from the State
Highway Engineer four army trucks
to be used in the road work in the
parish. Two of these trucks are
perfectly new and the other two are
p: rtactically new in that they have
.never been run more than 2000
al miles. These trucks are turned over
to the parish free of charge except
the freight and any alterations which
` light be necessary to convert the
bodi,. into dump bodies suitable tor
hauling gravel.

Auto Truck Particularly Adapted for Hauling Hogs.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
Use of double-decked auto trucks for hauling live stock is gaining in popu

States department of agriculture. Specially constructed trucks have increased
greatly during the current summer, as the farmers in this way are able almost
to double the tonnage they formerly could haul to market. Trucks of this
type are being used extensively in the transportation of feeder sheep from the
market to the grazing districts.

MORE WORK FOR THE CORONER.
Abraham Moody (colored), of Sli

got hold of some modern prohibition
booze, with the result that he re
mained unconsciouA for some time.
When he came to he was imbued
with the idea that he was a member
of every order, benevolent and social,
on earth. Also that t'come seven.
come elevtn" was a mystic command
that he had under entire control.
Coroner Bulloch is now perturbed
over the fact that the ktate has no
means of taking care of such charges.
In the meantime Moody is being tak
en care of as a boarder in the parish
jail in Covington. There are seve'al
other cases of this kind in the prison
that are charges on the parish in
spite of all efforts of the Coroner to
find some institutioni in which to
place them.

RESPONSIBLE
DELAYED
ACTION
Public Criticism Is Result
of Misunderstanding
of Facts.
PARISH CHAIRMAN
GIVES FACT OF CASE
Delay In Getting Mr. Ma
honume to Train Not
Due to Negligence.
Such wonderful work was aceom
plished by the Red Cross during the
war and in epidemics in this country
and abroad that any 'work it may
undertake is viewed as accomplished
with dispatch and under modern
methods. This view causes the pub
lic to become critical of the least
event that slackens efficiency or
creates an impression of unperform
ed duty, in which event officials are
blamed on general principles. Local
hapenings in small communities are
especially subject to this criticism,
Which is rapidly communicated and
often accepted without investigation.
The recent unfortunate occurence
with rgerence to Mr. Dominick IMi
honume is a case in. point, in which
the Red Cross has been unjustly
criticised and which causes, the Red
Cross chairman of St. Tammany par
ish to make the following statement.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Will y u please be kind enough
to publish the following statement:
The St. Tammany Parish Chapter
of the American Red Cross makes
the following statement in regard to
the Dominick Mahonume case:
Saturday evening Dr. Gautreaax
telephoned the secretary, Mrs. Whar
ton, that it would be necessary to
get the patient off on the Sunday
afternoon train to the hospital, and
asked that arrangements be made as
soon as possible. Around 7 o'clock
an order was placed with Schoen &
Molloy, Mrs. Molloy receiving tae
message, for the ambulance to call
for patient in time to reach the tra.a
which leaves Covipgton at 3:12 p. m.
The nurse went out and prepared
the patient "fqr the ambulance. .
2 o'clock, or a little after, Mrs. Fitz
Simons telephoned that the ascba
lance had not passed her house. As
soon as possible a telephone message
was sent in to the stable asking why
the delay. No one knew anything
about an order for the ambulance,
as the order had not been paced on
record.
In the meantime arrangements
were being made at the depot for
tranaporation and the train was
held ten minutes waiting for the P
tient. The ambulance did not arrive
at the house until ten minutes after
three and the nurse refused to let
them move patient then, as it is a
two mile trip over a very rough road.
A wire was then sent to the Train
Dispatcher asking permission to send
patient on the excursion which left
later but this was refused, as the
train does not carry a baggage car
That night a purse was obtained for
the patient who cared for him all
night. No one was sent with pati
ent because the doctor did not think
it was necessary. .It seems that a
NEW rule has been issued lately
that all patients must have some one
accompany them, but we had not
been informed of this.
The Red Cross feels called upon
to make this statement in view of
unjust public criticism.

Matters of Interest to the
Farmers of St. Tammany
By Parish Agent BACHEMIN
SWEET POTATO STORAGE HO'US
ES SPRINGING UP ALL
OVER STATE.
Louisiana now has 108 potato
storage houses -with a total capacity
of 629,400 bushels. These were all
erected in 1919.
"One of the biggest things done
for the farmers of our section in
years," was the comment of a lead
ing citizen of our cut-over pine laud
section of the state, in discussing the
erection of the sweet 'potato storage
house.
The average Louisiana farmer
little realizes what vast strides the
sweet potato industry has made with
in the last five years or the import
ance this crop plays in agriculture
of the state. That Louisiana has
kept pace with the other states in
the development of this industry is
shown by the fact that within the
last five years her acreage in sweet
potatoes has increased from 28,000
to 70,000; her production from
1,428,000 bushels to 6,300,000; per
acre yield from 51 'bushels to 90
bushels; per acre value from $48.75
to $103.50; total value from $1,366,
000 to 1$7,245,000.
When bur farmers, in the hill and
cut-over pine lands of our state, andy
particularly St. Tammany parish.
compare these figures with the acre
age cotton yield, per acre value, and
comparison of labor, etc., they should
have no trouble in convincing them
selves of the value of increasing
their acre of sweet potatoes.
It is also interesting to note that
this abnormal increase has by no
means glutted the market, this fact
is attributed 'to the impossibility of
the northern and western sections of
raising sweet potatoes on any com
mercial scale, while on the other
hand, they are only beginning to
learn the real eating qualities of our
"Southern Yams." The obstacle in
the 'way of successful production 9f
sweet potatoes in our parish is the
absence of storage houses for proper
handling and curing of these pota
toes, and as soon as we can get
enough storage houses, properly :d
located throughout the parish to
handle the sweet potato crop, we feel

be sold by the farmers in less than
car load lots. The low quality of
these small lots, particularly eattld
and hogs, often causes the local buay
ers to discriminate against them to
a greater extent than is actulaly
justifiable. However, since the most
of this stock must be shipped to the
central markets, farmers often think
they are at the mercy of these local
buyers.
The same condition exists where
crops other than live stock are pro
duced In small quantities. Pota
toes, syrup and similar porducts
come under the same classiflcation,
because few individuals are able to
ship. solid oars throughout the
season.
Co-operative shipping is the only
solution for these evils. Co-opera
tive shipping is no longer an experi
ment. The hundreds of co-operativo
shipments from ILouialana and Mis
sissippi during the past year proved
the practicability and great value of
this method. Co-operative shippin,
is not complicated, nor does it re
quire-much experience to insure its
success.
The county agents have been a
great factor in the spread of the co
operative shipping movement. Any
farmer who does not belong to a cc
operative buying and shipping or
ganization should get in touch wita
his county agent and get right with
himself and his community. The St.
Tammany Farmers' Protective Aeso
*iation was organized tnu Saturday,
March 27th, for the sole benefit of
the farmers of St. Tammany parish.
and every farmer should get in touch
with the county agent and find out
the good of such an organization and
not wait until he is solicited to be
come a member.
