SASCENSIO J P.SU E YARDW , L .W. A y, Prop. DONŽALD &NVILLE, LA. The principal cropo which the farmers of ~prtain sections of Louisiana have turni ed since bthe 'bell. eevil tame to: abide with and worry Us is Peanuts. In ears gone by when potton ivas iipg in teo thirds of the state no ope thought of pea puts as a money crop. Today, many farmers in north I ouisiana will tell you thpt they are plaking Ipore money out of peappts than they formerly made pat of cotton. On good land, apd especially with a good "live wire'" sort of a farmer back of the business, yields of 40 and 50 bush els are made. The average for the entire country is about 34 bushels. Yields of 80 bushels and more, however, are not un common. Peanuts yielding 34 bushels of nuts per acre will give a ton or more of first-class leguminous hay, worth $10 per ton. The nuts bring from 75 cents to $1 per bushel. At 80 cents per bushel a 34 bushel yield with one ton of hay means a return to !he farmer of $37.20 per acre. When we consider that this e~ep, being a legume, improves the soil; that the cost of planting and cultivating the crop is no greater than for cotton; and that peanuts are harvested and marketed at less ex pense than is cotton, we see the advan tages of peanut growing. Ti'e ke ypriety of peanuts to grow in Louisiana for the market or for p.sturirng hogs is the Spanish. These should be on a well-prepared seed bed- in- narrow rows, only far frough apart to permit cultiva tion with horse or mule. The plants should be 7 to 9 inches apart in the drill. E It nmay be better to shell the nuts .before F plantug, 'Pf jt a not necessary to do so t The nuts in the p.is, of ourtse,q apt t sprout as quickly as they do wohen shelled. R Two or three cultivations should be given, h and when the nuts begin to form some loose dirt should be thrown up to the a plants so as to allow the shoot upon b which the peanut is to form to enter the c gropnd readily. w The sandy upiands gand pine lands of ' the state are the best soils for peanuts. P1 Ordinarily but little fertilizer is applied to peanuts. A few wagon loads of manure ti per acre are very helpful, however, and st applications of 100 to 200 pounds of acid ei phosphate are frequently very profitable. gý This should be applied in the drill before lo planting.-Dept.

Conference of Local Branches of Dei bcratic Good Government Leagt to be Held Shortly to Select Cat didates for State Offices. New Orleans States, March 5. The State Democratic -Executive Con mittee of the Good Government Leagueme Saturday at headquarters, No. 630 Canm street. Letters were received from sever. members of theo committee not in at tendance, reporting upon the progress c events in their parishes. Leland M. Moss of Calcasieu reportel that a conference was held at Lake Charles on Thursday and steps were takei to organize leagues at Vinton, Merryville Singer, Welsh, Sulphur, West Lake, De Quincy, Lake 'Arthur and Lake Charles. A mass mepting will be held at Lake Charles on March 168, at which John M Parker of this city and other speakers wil. deliver addresses. Other parishes also reported readiness for organization at an early date not yet determined upon. A report was received from John M. Parker announcing that there would be a mass meeting held by the Orleans League at the Atheneum on the night of March 18 at which speeches would be delivered ap propriate to the occasion. The following was adopted: "This committee deems it advisable to calla conference of the representatives of the various local leagues and representa tive Democrats who are aafiliated or in sympathy with the cause to meet. in this city at 10:30 a. m. Saturday, March 18, at the Grunewald Hotel, to advise with us upon' various 'important matters, among which is the naming of a time and place for holding the conference of representa tives of the leagues to select candidates for state offices, and lay down the final platform of principles. "In August last a conference of Demo crats was calleil to consider the political situation and met in this city.'

"The time has now arrived to take the t final step to fully crystallize public senti- 1 f ment into action and weld together all the elements that stand 'for sound De mocracy, and put into their hands the com pletion of the task we have temporarily undertaken."

Long Drouth Still Unbroken-Rair e Badly Needed for Cane Crop Activity on Hermitage and Bocage Plantations--Northern Farmers at Belle Helene. The drouth is still unbroken and some t apprehension is felt that the crops will be LI quite seriously injured if the prolonged lI dry spell continues much longer. No rain of any consequence has fallen since the f first week in January and vegetation of all kinds is beginning to suffer. 'from the I absence of moisture. The dust is proving a nuisance to travelers along the public roads, and the supply of drinking water is running low in many cisterns. Toa make matters worse and add to the discomfiture caused by the dry spell, the temperature, while moderately cool, in the mornings and nights, is almost as warm as in mid summer during 'the middle of the day. The young cane shoots, which were cut down to the ground by the recent freeze, are beginning to come up again nicely, and would make rapid growth if favored with a good, soaking rain. Owing to the drouth field work has been suspended and everybody is waiting and praying for the downpour that will instill new life into agricultural operations and give the craps a chance to show what they can do. The Hermitage and Bqcage plantations in this parish on the east bank of the river, op poite I3onaldsoquille, which were sold receptly by Messrs. Brou & Robert to the Alluvial Land Purchase Company of New Orleans, headed by E. P. Brady, are -being placed in shape to be turned over to their new owners.
