Brothers Have Riding Club To Defray Part of College Expenses Baton Rouge, April 1. There are all kinds of ways to work one's way through school, but the Percy brothers of Plettenberg, West Feliciana, students at the Louisiana State University, probably struck upon a way unique in college annals when they established the Baton Rouge Riding Club to support themselves and their sister while students at the university. The club was established in January by Frank, James, and Wallace Percy, the three brothers joining the ranks of about 500 men and women who are working to defray a part or all of their expenses at the state university this year. The Percy family, long prominent in Louisiana, live at Greenwood, near St. Francisville, one of the most beautiful of the early plantation homes In Louisiana.

But when the L. S. U. session closed last June, the Percy family found itself, in common with other owners of tax-burdened acres, facing a condition of depleted finances which seemed to preclude further education for their The Richland Parish School Board ness in Alto, when he was leeted plans to operate the schools her for sheriff of Richland parish, which po-eight months.

U. ORGANIZED AT AMITY INSTRUCTIONS ON VETERANS' SLASH EING PREPARED Administration Gets Ready To Carry Out Orders of President WASHINGTON, April 3. Instructions to field workers were prepared Monday by the vetrans administration to carry out President Roosevelt's order for a slashing cut of $400,000,000 111 annual benefits paid to war vet- erans. The chief executive's action hits all along the line, with officials indicating that new construction at veterans hospitals will be held up unless the im- piovements already are under way. me institutions may even be closed it conditions warrant.

The biggest savings, about will come through removing from the benefit lists all veterans whose in-juries or sickness are non-service connected, unless the victims are totally or permanently disabled. Those to-; tally or permanently disabled even though not rendered so by service will receive only $20 a month as compared with $40..

In addition, it was pointed out that frozen ueposns nave causeu la.t collections virtually to cease. "An eight months' session means a four months' holiday and the loss of twenty days of actual study for each of the school children thus affected," Superintendent Keebler commented. "This is a serious matter to be faced by those interested in the education of our children, and we are planning to fight such a curtailment of educational opportunity in the future." Superintendent Keebler said that although the present financial crisis brought- the order from the State Board of Education, many parishes were already facing shortened school terms. "Revenues for the schools had been cut so severely, by the decreased assessments, many parishes found themselves unable to operate with the money available, even if it should be collected. "School authorities are now looking toward the State for financial support.

Local taxation has reached its limit, and the burden of support of the public schools should be transferred to the State. By increasing the State apportionment, the schools could eliminate the parish school taxes and thereby cut local taxation," Superintendent Keebler emphasized. "If the scnoois are to continue to afford educational opportunity to the children of Louisiana, the State must assume the responsibility of support and take it off the shoulders of the parishes," he ended.

The adult beetles and larvae both feed on the leaves, causing heavy damage. Looks very much like the common lady bug. Spray with arsenate of lead, one table-spoonful to one gallon of water. As a dust use 9 parts hyd rated lime and 1 part of calcium arsenate.

Bean leaf beetle. Control measures same as above. Diseases Affecting Beans Anthracnose. Attacks leaves, seedlings, stems, leaves and pods, causing canker-like places on the plant. Pull out and burn infected plants as soon as you notice them.

Do not cultivate when wet. Use certified disease-free seed and rotate crops on the land. Dry root rot. Affects root and base of stem. Tap root turns red and roots shrivel up.

Same treatment as for anthracnose. Bacterial blight. Shows up first as water-soaked spots on leaves which later turn brown and brittle. Some treatment as for anthracnose. Insects Attacking Cabbage Especially Imported cabbage worm.

The adult of this insect is the white butterfly, very common in this section. The damage is done by the larvae, or worms. Spray with calcium arsenate, 2 tablespoonfuls to 1 gallon of soapy water. The soap will prevent the drops from rolling off the cabbage leaves. As a dust use 1 part calcium arsenate to 4 parts hydrated lime.

Cabbage looper. A very common pest in Richland parish. A pale green, very delicate looking worm. Use same spray or dust as above, being careful to spray thoroughly on the under side of the leaves. Harlequin cabbage bug.

This is the common red and black spotted insect often called "calico-back." These insects suck the sap from the leaves. Handpick the adult bugs and destroy the old cabbage and other related plants. Spray with 2 tablespoonfuls Black Leaf 40 to 1 gallon soapy water, or use the nicotine dust as a dust. Diseases Affecting Cabbage Especially Blackleg. Light brown, roundish cankers on base of stem, often causing the cabbage head to fall off the stem.

Destroy all diseases plants. Rotate crops for at least three years. Treat seed with Semesan or bichloride of mercury solution. Black rot. Yellowed leaves, blackened veins, stems show black rings.

Same measures as above. Yellows. Plants become stunted, turn a yellowish green and the lower leaves fall off. Young infected plants often die, older plants fail to head. Same control as above.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE FOR HOG PASTURE This is a fine grazing crop that more people should be familiar with as it does well here and furnishes a great deal of grazing, especially good for hogs and chickens. The young tender leaves make fine greens for table use. The rape when small looks very much like a cabbage plant but instead of heading it grows to a height of eighteen inches to two feet. It will make a large tonnage of forage on ordinary land and an exceptionally heavy yield when planted on rich ground. Yields on fertile ground are known to have made as much as 25 tons per acre.

Rape stands very cold weather and for that reason, is often planted in the fall as well as in the spring. Rape Is sown in drills at the rate of about eight pounds to the acre and being low in price the cost of planting an acre is about $1.50 to $2.00. PRESERVING CHEAP EGGS IN WATER GLASS With eggs selling at anywhere from five to eight cents a dozen, they are dirt cheap, as those who produce them know only too well. They may be perfectly preserved for use later on when eggs are not so plentiful by the use of "water-glass," which may be purchased at drug or seed stores. The cost is about two to three cents per dozen.

They are as fresh when taken out of the water-glass as they were at first. Eggs saved by this method may be used for anything but poaching. Only fresh, clean eggs, with no cracks in the shell, should be preserved. The eggs should be candled to be sure they are fresh. Get a 5-gallon stone jar with a tight lid (this is important).

Use boiling water to sterilize the jar. Then heat a quantity of water to a boil which, when cooled, will make 9 quarts. Wlfen the container is dry, cool the boiled water and pour into the jar. Next add one quart of water-glass (sodium silicate). Mix thoroughly with the water in the jar and then place the eggs in the jar with the small end down (important), layer after layer being added.

The solution of water-glass should be kept two inches deep over the top layer at all times. GRAIN SORGHUMS POPULAR FOR RICHLOND PLANTING After about three years trial the grain sorghums have found favor with those who have used them and many acres will be planted in Richland this year. The seed about the time they were first planted in Richland were extremely high, but in spite of this they were found to be profitable crops. The seed are now nominal in price. Grain sorghums are planted principally for the grain they produce, although they are used extensively at times for forage, just as the saccharine sorghums are.

The stalk does not contain so much sugar as the other sorghums. The various sorghums produce a heavy crop of grain even in years when corn is a failure, and for that reason our farmers are using them as a form of feed crop insurance. Grain sorghums instead of wilting and dying in a drouth, have the unique ability to just stop growing and sit there waiting for rain. The use of these hardy and drouth-resisting crops is recommended here for that reason as no matter how long a drouth the grain sorghums will produce a fair crop of excellent grain, about 85 as good as corn for feeding purposes. There are a good many varieties of these sorghums, but there are about four or five that have succeeded better here than any others.

These are sagrain (Schrock Kaffir), hegari, grohoma, feterita and dwarf milo.

Re-gauging of-the gas fields of Richland parish and the Monroe field was under way Tuesday and forces of men from the local conservation office were endeavoring to complete the task in the shortest possible time, stated R. P. Webb, in charge of the local office, minerals division.

The Richland field is being gauged first and this will require about a week's time, it is expected. There are about 239 gassers in this area, while there are approximately 855 in the Monroe field, making a total of 1,094 In the two fields. This work of re-gauging is given attention every six months. The last time the work was prosecuted it was shown that the Richland field had suffered from rapidly-decreasing rock pressure and greatly in excess of the decrease shown by wells in the old Monroe field. Spillway Bridges To Be Built Soon New Orleans, April 6.

Awards totaling $2,764,731.96 have been made to the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad and the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway for the construction of two bridges across the Bonnet Carre Spillway near New Orleans. The awards call for the construction of both roads of 7000-foot, elevated, ballast deck creosote trestles, with 70-foot steel girder spans at 1000-foot intervals. The bridges provided will have double tracks with pedestrian walkways. An award to the Illinois Central Railroad likely will be made within a short time. Auto Sales Continue Despite Bank Holiday Chevrolet dealers in the second ten days of March reported delivering to consumers 10,006 new cars and trucks despite the existence of a national banking holiday through much of the period, H.

J. Klingler, vice-president and general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company, announced recently. In the comparable period last year reported retail sales were 10,378 new cars and trucks, Mr. Klingler stated. Owing to the difficulty of getting cars to dealers because of lack of facilities for clearing drafts, stocks of new cars in the field were reduced units in the second ten days of the month, Mr.

Klingler reported. "From the first of this year to March 20 deliveries to consumers were 8,068 units compared with 86,769 in the comparable period of 1932," Mr. Klingler stated. "In the last ten days of March last year we sold at retail 13,504 units, and I am in hopes that a sufficient amount of buying deferred by the banking situation will fail into the last period of this month to make the March total compare favorably with March of 1932. "In both and February we exceeded our; retail sales of last year by a comfortable margin." Holy Week Services Beginning Sunday, April 9th.

Wallace Urges State Foresters To Confer On Relief Program The department of Agriculture announced recently that it is ready to go ahead immediately with its part of the President's program for unemployment relief through the performance of useful public forest and soil saving work.

Work contemplated on the national forests will be in line with existing long-term plans for the development and protection of the forest resources, and hence will not include any "made work," intended merely to keep men busy. The plan will mean a vast speeding up of an established national forest improvement program. The forestry work will include control of tree diseases and insects. The act authorizing the unemployment relief program provides for work on State-owned forest lands as well as On Federally-owned. Early arrangements, it is expected, will be made with the States to put the program in operation.

Telegrams to the governors of the 48 states were sent by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace today inviting them to send their State foresters or other representatives to a con ference in Washington April 6th on plans for the execution of the program on State lands. As amended, the act also provides for extension of forest work to privately owned lands under cooperative arrangements to be made by the Federal Government with the States. This will allow a larger proportion of the jvork to be carried on in States east of the Mississippi, where only a small proportion of the total area of National forests is located and the area of State forests is limited. Work on forest lands in private ownership, it is pointed out, will be limited to the classes of projects already authorized by Congress which are clearly in the publ' interest, rather than chiefly bene'cial to the landowner. Such projec include protection from fire, insect control, and eradication of tree diseases.

Estimates of work on National forest lands Include the construction of lookout hovses, towers and observatories, telephone lines, fire breaks, range fences, fire protection truck and horse trails, emergency landing fields for fire patrol planes, reduction of fire hazards, timber stand improvement by thinnings, eradication of major infestations of insects and tree diseases, and other types of work needed to improve the National forest properties or their facilities. Due to lack of available planting stock, forest planting will necessarily be limited this season. Chief Forester R. Y. Stuart has called a meeting of the nine regional foresters for April 3 to perfect details for putting the program in operation on the National forests.

The decentralized and flexible organization of the Forest Service will aid it in putting the program into effect in minimum time. The Service's facilities for adapting itself suddenly to demands of fire and other emergency jobs requiring quick organization and supervision of large bodies of men have been highly developed over a period of years. Earnestness ft Rev. Harry L. Walton will preach Sunday morning at the Presbyterian Church.

The riding club was planned and the boys proceeded to build the club from the remains of an old plantation building which they had transported to Baton Rouge by truck. "We soon found that we didn't hav enough horses so we went to our friends and neighbors who had good animals, told them our plan, borrowed some horses and rented others," Frank, who has taken the lead in establishing the club, explains.

The club now has 12 horses and the cost per month for feed and labor in keeping up the club amounts to about $15 per horse. Returns have not been sufficient for all four of family to remain in school, but three, Frank, Wallace, and May are continuing, their college days, thanks to an energy and enterprise which has set up what is probably a unique means of support for the college student.
