Corn Weevil WorksFast in Louisiana

Weevil injury to stored corn is of much great importance in Louisiana than in the states farther north. In Louisiana the weevil is able to breed much more rapidly during the months com is held in storage than is the case in those sections of the country where lower temperatures prevail, ac­cording to Thos. H. Jones, entomolo­

gical assistant, U. S. Department of

Agriculture, at Louisiana State Uni­versity.

Methods for conserving corn from weevils in the Gul States are de­scribed in Farmers’ Bulletin 1029 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Two systems are mentionel. The one that is considered most satisfactory consists in protecting the com in tight cribs or romos by fumigation with carbon disulphid. It is recom-

A Fordson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the farmer. It doesn’t make any difference how you spell that prosperity—whether it is in increased producti on ; whether it is in the saving that comes from a machine over a horse or a mule; whether it comes in a release from the drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for btohman and wife—because the Fordson answers al lthose problems to the satisfaction of the farmer.

It can’t be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power on the farm Is the necessity. It is onl ya ques­tion of what kind of power the farmer is going to have, but no farmer with the facts before him can question the mon­etary advantage of machine power over horse and mule power. The Tractor is the farmer’s necessity just as much as the sun is the necessity for growing crops.

All that is necessary for a farmer is to know-his Fordson Tractor as familiarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He wants to use the same amount of reason and common sense. In the Fordson Tractor is the con­centrated power of eighteen horses, and as flexible as the movement of your arm—much more flexible than horse control—and beyond all comparison much more economical both in service and in keep. Then it will do so many things that horses and mules can not do, and it doesn’t eat when idle.

We don’t believe there is any question in the mind of any farmer as to the necessity for a Tractor, but he may have some doubts as to what make of Tractor, so that is the reason we are putting this advertisement in this paper to draw his attention to the Fordson Tractor. This is why we put the above arguments before him, and why we now invite him to come in to our place of business and view the Fordson Tractor. Let us shoy him what it has done. Let us prove to him its superiority over any other Tractor. 11 means more to him than it does to us. When we sell a Tractor, we make a small profit, but when he buys a Tractor he buys a power that is working for him every day in the year; that is, if he buys a Fordson—we can’t speak for the other kind. Come in!

- - ’ ourn»> sores, letter, etc.| Shreveport, La., Nov. 11, 1920. ,Editor New Orleans States.

Dear Sir: On the morning of thethird instant the exultant cry rang ! out from republican sources at Wash-

i ington that more than one thousand negro women voted the republican j ticket in Richmond, the historic capi­tol of the Southern Confederacy.

From New York came the victorious j shout that an overwhelming majority of the women of North, East and West voted for Harding and against Cox, and made those sections solidly republi­can.

The report came from the border southern states of Virginia, Maryland, Tennesseee, Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma, that the republicans, re­cruited by thousands upon thousands of negro women and negro men, havë sew'pt the democrats off their feet In many instances and for many posi­tions.

Indeed, Maryland, Missouri and Ok­lahoma have gone republican for presi­dent and Tennesses has both elected | a republican governor and cast her | electoral vote for Harding.

Negro for GovernorA negro candidate for governor of

Arkansas has attracted thousands of ! negro, and some white voters to his standard. Many negroes ran for lo-1 cal offices in southeast Arkansas and j in other states, and a negro was elect- j ed to the legislature of Missouri.

New Orleans cast more than 18,000 ! white and negro republican votes, and j many country parishes in Louisiana | went republican.

Florida cast a large republican vote and so did some districts in Georga, Alabama and Texas.

In view of these and many other similar facts not mentioned, I wish to ask:

In what respect did the much herald­ed woman’s suffrage amendment to the constitution of the United States benefit the democratic party of the j nation or our southern white civiliza-

,tion?Before the Louisiana, Tennessee, j

I Maryland and other southern legisla- ! I tures it was asserted vigorously and ! continuously by local and imported ad- j vocates that the success of the suf- j frage amendment meant the success | of the democratic party, and that j southern shotguns would keep the ne- j groes from voting. It did neither. |

Helped Republicans It has helped the republican party j

as I have always claimed it would, and it has invited die negro women , and negro men into the body of the ; republican electorate of the south.

The consent ot the white Demo- ! cratic legislatures, of Ate southern ! states of Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, j Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee to j

the federal suffrage amendment,Which gives equal political rights to the white man and the black woman and to the black man and the white woman, with congressional authority to enforce these rights, has amounted to an absolute approval of, and con­sent to, the fifteenth amendment,which deals with the kindred princi­ple of no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.

The fifteenth amendment has never been enforced by Congress for the rea­son that the white people of the south have always stood out solidly against both the principle involved In the amendment and Its enforcement. None of our representatives in the United States senate or in the lower house of congress ever yielded to that prin­ciple until lately. Therefore they were in a position to fight force bills with

united front, as did stalwart old Senator Morgan of Alabama, and his southern colleagues thirty years ago.

Enforcement BillsToday we find that legislatures,

representing half of the people of the south, have approved and ratified the nineteenth (suffrage) amendment, which is tantamount to. a ratification of the fifteenth amendment, and many southern senators and members of the lower house of congress have advo­cated it. The second sections of these amendments provide that congress shall have power to enforce them. How can these people now consistently oppose such an amendment?

Heretofore the fifteént amendment has amounted to nothing more than a declaration of political sentiment on the j?art of the north because congress has not enacted an enforcement bill, under the amendment, to carry It into effect.

But now, as half of the south has consented to the principle contained in the amendment, such bills undoubt­edly will be pushed by the republicans in congress. They will no longer fear a second secession and a conse­quent disturbance of business rela­tions between the north and the south because of the south has regis­tered its consent to enforcement.

x South in a TrapWhat a trap the south has Wen

caught in by many southern legisla­tors listening to the plea that a rati­fication of the national woman’s suf­frage amendment would elect Cox and bring about an approval of the Wil­son administration! How the repub­lican leaders, men and women, and the negroes must be chuckling at the way many of our southern democrats have been worked for the benefit of the republican party, Lily White and

Black and Tan!National woman’s suffrage could

not have made the south more demo­cratic than it was, and it certainly has made both the north and south more republican than they were.

t wo years ago. as governor, I ad­vocated in a message to the legisla­ture the submission of an amendment to our state constitution granting wo­men the right to vote.. It was sub­mitted. I worked hard for its adop­tion by a popular vote. The country went for it, but the New Orleans reg­ular machine defeated it. One more submission would have ended in suc­cess.

At the same time 1 wrote to all of the southern governors and urged them to join me in an attempt to amend our respective state constitu­tions so as tg give the women the right to rote, and I further requested them to unite with me in a determined opposition to the federal amendment. Most of them answered me, and all except one indicated that they believe my Idea to be correct, but I could not induce them to form the cabal, ap­parently on account of pressure from national democratic sources.

South Put it OverThe Bolid south, with its thirteen

democratic states, could have prevent­ed the ratification of the national amendment,' and thus consistently maintained its continuous and perslst- net opposition to the principle con­tained in the fifteenth amendment Each state could, and, in time, would have given the women the right to vote by state amendment, as the prin­ciple was passing through its natural development. Suffrage then would have continued, in all of its phases, under the control of the sovereign state, and we would have gone os as heretofore, except white women would have been added to the electorate.

Consent by several southern states is all that the republicans have been waiting for in order to put over their political and racial schemes.

Let us hope that southern constitu­tional conventions will find some way to meet the disaster that many south­ern legislatures have brought upon us. I still believe in the ideals of Southern Caucasin Democracy and will contribute any effort within ®F power -to help restore it and perpet­uate it.

I shall never cease to he proud of the stand taken by the general s»- sembly of the state of Louisiana against the federal suffrage amend­ment last July.

Yours truly,R. G. PLEASANT.
