SELF-FEEDER HELPS
SOLVE LABOR PROBLEM
"With the high prices of labor it
becomes necessary for the farmer to
look for economic production of
pork," says M. M. LaCroix, assistant
boys' club agent, extension division,
Louisiana State University. "The
use of the self-feeder will assist in
this undertaking because it does not
require continuous daily attention.
The principle of the self-feeder is
that the hog will have accessible
•grain at all times, along with the pas
ture crops. The attention due it will
depend upon the size and number of
hogs having access to it.
"A self-feeder consists of a hopper
or compartment to hold the feed and
a trough below it into which the grain
flows as the hogs eat it. The hopper
is made of such size that it will con
tain several days' supply of feed ; and
the inside walls are made as smooth
as possible, in order not to obstruct
the flow of grain to the trough. At
the bottom of the hopper, leading into
the feed trough, an adjustable slide
should be placed to control the rapid
ity of the grain flow. This slide usu
ally takes the form of a board run
ning lengthwise of the feeder and
fastened to the hopper by king bolts.
A certain amount of flexibility i* de
sired in this slide, as it will aid mate
rially in preventing clogging. The
hopper may be divided into compart
ments for feeding different grains
spearately, if desired.
"The self-feeder is especially de
sirable in the feeding of young grow
ing pigs. Where the pigs are sucking
and the mother is kept in an individu
al pen, the feeder should be place.!

pens, which will necessitate the pigs
taking exercise in going to and com-

be a little salt placed near the feeder
when used for either pigs or hogs."

JUDGE DUPRE TELLS WHY
HE SUPPORTS MR. PARKER
'Would Have Gone Down to the
Dreamless Dust" Rather Than
Oppose Parker
To the Editor of the Item :
Many thanks for your editorial in
this morning's paper evidencing how
Mr. Parker effaced himself for Judge
Hall in 1918. I always believed Mr.
Parker had done so, although I was
unaware of the fact. Now that I
know it, I am going to cling to him
with hoops of steel.
I do hope the people will appreciate
the sacrifice he then made. Gave up
the ambition of a lifetime whereby to
assist a friend. I would not have done
done so. Who else, other than John
M. Parker, would have given up three
years in the senate to be had for mere
acceptance of the offer? I have al
ways compared this act with that of
the base Indian who threw a pearl
away, richer than all his tirbe. San
ders threw away a five-year senator
ship to which he had been elected,
to assist the ward bosses, and they
thereafter assassinated him.
I don't want to say anything harsh
about Judge Hall. I am sorry for
him. He is a pathetic figure. But
I would have gone down to the
"tongueless silence of the dreamless
dust" rather than have opposed Mr.
Parker's candidacy.
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends." John M. Parker laid
down his political life for Luther E.
Hall in 1918. Lather E. Hall is op
posing Parker in 1919. But Judge
HalPs friends will not follow .hin»..
Here in St. Landry these are standing
behind Mr. Parker's candidacy like a
stone wall. There are twenty-five
precincts in this parish. Mr. Parker
will carry every eee of these.
Yours truly,
GILBERT L. DUPRE.

125 JERSEY COWS ARE
SHOWN AT STATE FAIR
E.
R.
A.
The dairy cattle show at the recent
Louisiana state fair was the strongest
in the history of the fair, according
to C. H. Staples, dairy husbandman,
extension divisoin, Louisiana State
University.
"The Jerseys were in the majority,
there being 125 shown," said Mr.
Staples. "The Holsteins followed,
with 38, and the Guernseys with 10.
Prof. Hugh G. Van Pelt of Iowa, who
judged the dairy cattle, stated that it
was one of the best exhibits of dairy
cattle he had seen in the South this
year. He said further that great im
provement iiad been made since ht
has been judging at the Louisiana
state fair during the last few years.
"During the fair the Louisiana-
Mississippi breeders sold 49 pure-bred
Jersey cattle for f 12,360, which was
an average price of $252.24 per cow
The price for which these cattle sold
indicates not only an improvement in
the quality of the cattle offered, but
also an increase in the demand for
good dairy cattle in the state. It
shows also an appreciation on the part
of dairy farmers as to real worth of
good Jersey cattle."

UNION PARISH BOY
MAKES. GOOD RECORD
Lester Norris, a l%yçar-old pig
club member of Union parish ,and one
of the four hundred club njembers
who were awarded scholarships at the
annual short course held at the Louis
iana State University last August,
makes the following report of his club
work:
"In February, 1918, I joined the
pig club and bought a registered
Hampshire gilt for twelve dollars and
fifty cents. In September of that
year I refused an offer of $70 for
her, and in January, 1919, she far
rowed nine fine pigs, one of which
was killed while still small. Six of

Politician, Statesman, Sage, Philosopher, and an un
qualified success as each—such is the somewhat unique
record of "Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Mr. Cannon is one of that number of great Ameri
cans who have attained the height of prominence unaid
ed, except for his own wonderful ability.
He is shrewd, deep-thinking, quick-acting and essen
tially thrifty, as all successful men and women must be.
Thrift, after all, is the primary requisite for success.
With it all things are possible. Without it, no real prog
ress can be made—no matter what other desirable quali
ties may be present.
A savings account in this bank would be a start in the
right direction.

bushels of corn on his acre, which is
