BIENN TO GIVE BIG SALE;
SI DOWN TAKES ANY ARTICLE
D. Bienn, the progressive Columbia
street furniture dealer, is going to
inaugurate a great sale Saturday. He
recently received several carloads of
' furniture and, as a matter of
fact, has more furniture that he has
display room, hence he will offer any

payment of one dollar down and the
balance on easy terms.
"It's the working man's opportun-

said Mr. Bienn.

I
Ginning Factory
To Start Monday
The Bogalusa Farm Products Co.,
owners of the local canning plant,
will resume operation on next Mon
day, when they will begin canning the
crop of sweet potatoes.
At a meeting held Saturday, which
was attended by about sixty farmers, 1
it was estimated that there would be !
between 35,000 and 40,000 bushels of
sweet potatoes harvested in this sec
tion. A price of 40 cents a bushel
will be paid, which means that, if
these figures are correct, between
$14,000 and $16,000 will be paid the
farmers for their crop. No potatoes
under two inches will be accepted,
nor can the potato know as the
"mammy" be used.
There will be sufficient sweet po
tatoes to keep the plant ni operation
for several months, which will result
in a nice weekly payroll as well as
giving the farmers a good cash crop.
Manager Lott expects to turn out
one of the finest packs ever made.

It is the opinion that the vote in

Judge Carruth, who was eliminated

support to Judge Brunot and it is
said Judge Brunot will get a big ma

have made a study of the situation

Mrs. Byers, who proved a charm

After having assui'ed each one
again and again that every gift, even

53,000 Acres
To Be Reforested
The most important step yet made
in the forestry movement in Louisi
ana was taken Friday by the Depart
ment of Conservation and the Great
Southern Lumber Company of Boga
lusa.
On that day the Louisiana Depart
ment of Conservation entered into a
contract with the Great Southern
Lumber Company of Bogalusa, La.,
for the setting aside of 53,000 acres
of cut-over timber lands, to be refor
ested under the terms of Act No. 90
of 1922. The work was made pos
sible by the approval and acceptance
by the Washington Parish Police Jury
of the contract, as stipulated in Sec
tion 11 of Act No. 90.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany obligates itself to develop and
raise timber on this large area for
a period of fifteen to twenty years,
thus renewing the tree growth neces
sary for the perpetuation of the work
of this great industry, essential to
the continued prosperity of the grow
ing town of Bogalusa.
Would Benefit AU Partie«
The contract will benefit the lum
ber company in providing raw mate
rial for the continuance of its manu
facturing enterprise; it will benefit
the state at large by renewal of the
resource that has brought such a
measure of prosperity in late years,
and it will be of especial benefit to
Washington parish in providing em
ployment for many of its citizens and
their children, and in aiding the bus
iness interests of the parish gener
ally.
Act No. 90 of 1922 provides that
any land owner or owners can place
their lands under constract with the
Department of Conservation for a
period of from 15 to 20 years, at a
stationary tax for that period. This
law is considered a long step forward
in the reforestation movement, be
cause it guarantees the land owner
freedom from increased taxation dur
ing the long wait required for the
raising of the new crop of timber.
It is of benefit to the state because
it increases the ultimate taxing value
of land that might otherwise Tie idle
and useless, and because new growths
of timber would be commercially im
possible if the increase growth were
penalized in increasing taxes annu
ally, while the owner was getting no
revenue whatever from his holdings.
Commissioner Alexander and Su
perintendent of Forestry V. H. Son
deregger appeared before the Police
Jury of Washington Parish Friday
morning, and Mr. Alexander explain
ed to that body that the State of
Louisiana would assume supervisory
control over the immense tract, and
assist the owners in developing this
vast cut-over tract into a new forest.
At the conclusion of Mr. Alexan
der's address, the Police Jury, by an
unanimous vote, approved the con
tract and also approved the accept
ance of several small tracts owned by
local farmers.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany h^j^^blished an efficient de
partment of forestry with competent
men in charge, and these will be su
pervised in their work of reforesta
tion of the tract by the Department
of Conservation.
