'LUB WORK HAS
SUCCESS[UL YEARi
Boys and Girls Make Good Records'
in Year 1916.
Reports made by the boys and girls
of Louisiana who belong to the agri
cultural and live stock clubs indicate
that their work in 1916 was very suc
cessful. Nearly 2,000 written reports
from the club members have been
received by the Junior Extension di
vision of the Louisiana State Univer
sity and the results obtained were
very satisfactory to the club leaders.
Club work in Louisiana is divided
into five classes: Corn, pig, canning,
poultry and cotton. A summary of
the work of each club is given below.
Corn Clubs.
Louisiana corn club boys produced
an average yield of 46 bushels of corn
per acre in 1916, which is more than
twice the yield per acre for the en
tire state. This corn was produced
at a cost of 46 cents per bushel.
The corn club enrollment was 1,900,
of whom 524 have made written re
port of their work. Of this num
ber 115 planted their acre plots to
winter cover crops, and 204 selected
their planting seed in the field.
There were 503 ten-ear exhibits of
boys' corn on display at the Louisiana
State Fair and probably as many more
at the various parish fairs. Cash
r.rizes, farming implements and L. S.
U. short course scholarships were
awarded the members who made the
best exhibits.
Pig Clubs.
Louisiana pig club boys raised 2,
224 pigs in 1916. The average weight
of these pigs at the time the boys
began keeping their records was 42
pounds, indicating that most of the
club members started the year's work
with young pigs. The average weight
at the time the reports were made
was 205 pounds. The average initial
value of the pigs was $8.90 and the
average present value $31.20, accord
ing to the boys' estimates.
The total final weight of these pigs
is 455,920 pounds, which, valued at
eight cents a pound live weight, would
make the pigs raised by the boys this
year worth, as pork, $36,473.60. The
actual value of the pigs is consider
ably above this as 81 per cent of them
were pure bred and many were prize
winners at parish fairs and the State
Fair, which gave them an enhanced
value as breeding stock.
There were 802 pigs exhibited at
parish and community fairs and 260
at the State Fair. The railway com
panies hauled 13 car loads of boys'
pigs to and from the State Fair at
Shreveport free of charge.
Canning Clubs.
Nineteen parishes in Louisiana em
ployed women agents in canning club
work in 1916; fourteen of these
agents were appointed for twelve
months and five for only the canning
season. There were 1,130 girls en
rolled in the clubs.
Four hundred and forty-nine club
members reported 264,556 pounds of
tomatoes raised, 64,864 containers
filled, and an average profit of $13.75
from the sale of canned goods. This
does not take into account the large
amount of fresh canned tomatoes con
sumed nor the canned goods placed
in the home pantries. Four hundred
and thirteen girls made caps and ap
rons for canning demonstrations,
which is a part of the required work.
Exhibits of the girls' work were
made at the parish and ward fairs,
and at the State Fair. Scholarships
at the short course at the Louisiana
State University were awarded to
girls who did the best work in each
parish, and in a few cases money
prizes were given.
Poultry Clubs.
Seven hundred and forty boys and
girls in Louislana enrolled in the
poultry clubs in 1916, and nearly one
third of this number submitted writ
ten reports of the work at the close
of the season. This is considered a
good record for the first year of or
ranization.
Thirty parishes were represented in
the poultry membership. The boys
and girls were divided into 75 clubs,
43 of which were in the agricultural
high schools. The remaining clubs
were supervised by home demonstra
tion agents, parish demonstration
agents and junior club agents.
The club members are encouraged
to raise pure-bred poultry, and they
have been assisted in getting a
start by poultry breeders, who have
supplied new members with pure-bred
eggs at reduced prices.
At most of the parish fairs and at
the State Fair special prizes were
offered for poultry club exhibits. They
were allowed to enter their fowls in
open competition and in many in
stances won first prize over exhibits
made by older breeders.
Cotton Clubs.
Cotton club work was taken up for
the first time in 1916. Demonstration
agents in six of the cotton-growing
parishes selected six boys each who
agreed to plant and Cultivate two
acres in cotton under the agents' in
structions. Special attention was paid
to seed selection, preparation of seed
bed and cultivation.
The boys made an average yield if
1,031 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
In addition to the high prices receiv
ed for the lint, some of the boys have
sold their cotton seed at a premium
for planting purposes.
In 1917, cotton clubs are being or
ganized in twelve parishes, with a
membership of 108.

LARGE CANE YIELD DUE TO
CROP ROTATION.
Nitrogen Produced By Leguminous
Crops Principal Fertilizing Ele
ment in Cane Production.
Some of the largest yields of cane
ever recorded in Louisiana were har
vested this season. A brief inquiry
reveals the fact that some of these
heavy yielding cuts were planted it
the fall of 1915, on land which had
been planted in corn and peas, clover,
alfalfa, or other leguminous crops for
two or more years during the depres.
sion in the sugar industry. Any numr
ber of fields, which have not been
planted to cane for the last two or
three years, have been again planted
this fall. In some cases there were
two or three years of corn and peas,
where r 'ea vipes were plowed un
der one ye l and harvested for hay the
other year - In a few cases cane has
been planted on land where white, red
or burr clover, or alfalfa had been
grown alone or in succession with
corn and peas. This is going to give
a very fine opportunity to test the
value of widening the common three
year rotation into a four or five-year
rstation, with a view to increasing
the tonnage of cane per acre. It is a
fully accepted principle among sugar
planters that at least one year's rest
with a restorative crop, such as peas
planted with corn between each plant
ing of corn, which usually occupies
the land two years, is essential in ob
taining satisfactory yields. This is
done for the well-known reason that
nitrogen is the principal fertilizing el
ement required to produce a good
tonnage of cane on the alluvial lands
of Louisiana, but the average land
during a decade or more shows a de
cline in the average tonnage yield
with the regulation of three-year ro
tation. Cane is a very expensive crop
to grow, and all costs outside of har
vest are more or less constant, wheth
er the yield be large or small. When
the yield gets to be less than ten or
twelve tons per acre, with the average
price for cane, the crop becomes un
profitable. The additional tonnage
produced on an acre is largely profit
after deducting the cost of harvesting
the increase in the crop. This is the
primary reason why cane growing in
the tropics, where yields of from
forty to one hundred tons per acre
are procure is so much more profit
able than the more temperate re
gions, wh the growing season is
reduced.( seven or eight months,
and the average tonnage is corre
spondingly smaller. G. E. Nesonm,

FIGHTING CITRUS CANKER.
Drastic Measures Promise Sutcess in
Protecting Orchards from Disease.
Citrus canker can be completely
eradlicated from this country if en
ergetic work is continued for a suf
ficient length of time, say specialists
of the U. S. Department of Agricul
cure. In an article in the 1916 year
book of the department, Dr. K. F.
Kellerman points out that the inspec
lion and eradication work which has
been in progress for the last two
years. while expensive in itself, has
yi led encouraging results, and tl t
this disease is so serious a menace
that the cost of combating it is small
in proportion to the value of the
property to begaved..
Citrus canker is described by Dr.
Keilerman as the most contagious of
all known plant diseases and the most
destructive of commercial values.
More drastic precautions have been
found necessary in fighting it than
are required by any other plant dis
ease. Not only are infected trees
destroyed by burning, but the ground
under the tree is sprayed with a
formalin solution, and it is also ad
visable to do this with apparently
healthy trees in the neighborhood of
those infected. The inspectors who
do this work are required to wear a
costume which can be thoroughly dis
infected before and after visiting
each citrus orchard. All the ap
paratus taken into citrus groves, such
as oil cans and pumps, must also be
disinfected.
Work of this character is now be
ing carried on co-operatively by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture and
the states of Alabama, Texas, Louis
iana, Mississippi, and Florida.
Only a very small proportion of
the orchards in the south have been
infected, and those in Arizona and
California have escaped completely.
Despite the contagiousness of the dis
ease, infected orchards can frequent
ly be cleansed without the loss of
very many trees. It is essential,
however, that eradication work
should begin immediately after the
discovery of the infection. Any own
er who has reason to suspect that
canker exists in his groves should
close them to all visitors and should
see that neither he nor his men visit
other groves. Whenever possible, he
should send for a state specialist to
ascertain definitely whether the trou
ble is or is not canker. If no special
ist is available, a few infected leaves
may be picked off, wrapped in paper,
sealed in a heavy envelope, and for
warded either to the state authorities
or to the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. The owner should thorough
ly wash his hands in a disinfectant
solution after picking these leaves.
In a majority of cases the disease
affects first the leaves. It causes red
dish brown spots raised slightly above
the level of the healthy surface and
frequently surrounded by a rather
indistinct, narrow, yellowish zone.
Before breaking through the leaf sur
face, the cankers are smooth and al
most waxy, but afterward have a
corky appearance.
Illustrations accompany the article
in the yearbook in order to assist
owners in detecting the presence of
the infection.
GUARD AGAINST CLOVER BLOAT
Cattle Should be Prepared for Change
of Feed in Spring.
A sudden change from dry feed to
a green, succulent feed of any kind
is likely to cause bloating in cattle.
This is especially likely to occur when
they graze on white clover in the
spring when it is young and green,
or when it is in full bloom. It rapid
ly ferments in the paunch, and the
gas there produced causes distension
of this large stomach on the left side
of the animal, with the characteristic
appearance, and the general train of
symptoms, familiar to most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward
ing off this condition. When first
turning cattle on clover, it should be
done gradually until the digestive or
gans become accustomed to the
change; and the safest way is not to
permit them to eat this succulent
feed for longer than twenty minutes
to half an hour the first day, and in
crease the length of the period each
day afterward until it seems to have
lost its bloating effect. It is safer,
also, not to turn the cattle on this
pasture while the dew is on it.
Another preventive measure is to
give the cattle some dry feed, such
as hay, before turning them on the
clover. This, of course, lessens the
quantity of clover consumed, and
tends to prevent fermentation of the
green feed.
After a short while, when the
stomach has accustomed itself to the
change from the dry to the succulent
feed, the animals may consume large
quantities of the latter without ap
parent inconvenience.-W. H. Dal
rymple, Louisiana State University.
Rank Foolishness.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid of
a cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is effectual and is highly
recommended by people who have
used it for many years as occasion re
quired, and know its real value. Ob

SUGGESTIONS FOR TIHE
COTTON FARMER
Growing of Food and Feedstuffs and
Maintaining Soil Fertility Two
Main Considerations.
Growing cotton in Louisiana as a
single crop, under boll weevil condi
tions, is not a safe farming proposi
tion. As a rule, however, where labor
is available, farmers in the cotton
growing sections of the state should
not abandon this crop, but should
plant it only on land that is best suit
ed to its production. This land
should be properly fertilized, well
worked, and planted to the variety of
seed best adapted to that particular
section.
To map out a definite system of
cotton farming for a group of farmers
in a single community is a very diffi
cult matter, and to make more than
general suggestions that will apply to
a whole state is practically impossi
ble. The lay of the land, the fertility
of the soil, the drainage of the farms
and the ability of the farme are all
factors that must be taken ,to con
sideration in laying out a far .sys
tem. Two requirements, however, that
every farming system should meet
are: (1) The growing of all feed
stuffs and as much as possible of the
food needed on the farm, and (2) im
proving or at least maintaining the
fertility of the soil.
The small farmer should plant from
one-fourth to one-third of his culti
vated land in cotton. Oats, or oats
and vetch (planted in the fall) should
constitute the main feed crop on ap
proximately onethird 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
crops that will improve the soil. If
soy beans are planted the crop can
be utilized as forage or the seed may
be harvested and sold to the oil mills
for the production of oil and cake
and the straw or stalks can be used
for winter feeding.
The remaining acres on the farm
should be planted to corn and peas,
sorghum, soy beans, sweet potatoes,
peanuts or other crops to meet the
needs of each case and to provide
feed for the animals that should be
kept on every cotton farm. Hogs, cat
tle and chickens should be considered
a necessary part of the cotton farm.
The extent to which should be grown
will depend entirely on the ability of
the farmer to take proper care of
them and furnish an abundance of
home-grown feed for their mainte
nance. Another class animals that
should, generally speaking, be found
on every cotton farm are good brood
mares. These can do at least a part
of the farm work and raise good horse
or mule colts.
For more specific information on
growing cotton in Louisiana, write to
the Extension Division, L. S. U., Ba
ton Rouge, La., for a copy of Circu
lar No. 18, entitled "Cotton Growing
