ness Acumen Lacking.
Has it occurred to our Louisiana
farmers that with the raw material
at hand for producing eorn-fed beef
and pork, sufficient to supply the
needs Of the state, we are paving
more for imported beef and pork
than the entire value of our corn
crop each year?
The appalling extravaganza pI.ae-
ticed in sIaughtering young cattle.
articularly heifer calves, should be
stopped. Every farmer should make
it a point to raise and fatten for mar
ket one steer or more each year.
An economic question is here in-
Volved which has not only to do
with present profits, but with the
conserving of the fertility Of our soil.
It has been brought to our atten-
ton by Mason snoWden, OF the fed
eral farm demonstration department.
that there is scarcely q grocery store
in our state but is selling meal and
grits made of western corn when,
within the next few weeks, our plant
ers will be seeking market for
their surplus corn.
Every locality which has been
proven a surplus corn producing ter
ritory should have sufficient local
pride and business acumen to form
a meal and griIs milling company
and supply the local and district
trade with Louisiana made meal and
griIs.
The low percentage OF moisture In
well matured Louisiana corn will per.
nit much Of it to be ground without
artificial drying, and to offset the
effect Of the humidity of our climate
on stored corn, small drying plants
can now be built and maintained at q
low cost.
For several weeks we have been
making an effort to secure al list OF
Louisiana growers of pure-bred seed
and live stock. We believe the pro-
gressiVe farmer who has, through his
own experience and the teaching OF
the federal and state instructors
learned the economy of growing
sthoroug instead Of scrub.

duty to pass these proauets on to his

The sensuous Dances.

At the risk of being considered
eld-fashioned, we make bold to say
that the spectacle of two persons Of
opposite sex holding each other in
tight embrace and undulating them
selves across ball room floor to.
the accompaniment Of near-Egyptian
music, does not appeal to us as
either safe, sane or beautiful This
is plain speech, but persons who
advocate the turkey trot, the
tango, and the bunny hug as
appropriate diversions for young
men and women in their own homes
and in semi-public places ought not
to be afraid to have described the
thing they recommend On the other
hand, persons who would abolish
these erratic pastimes ought to be
glad 10 have them denounced.
We are inclined to believe that
the public does not know what it is
doing when 1t surrenders itself to
the delirium of these dances. But
men Of years who have seen and
noted the effect of these nab-me-grab-
me steps know only too well what it
all means. But there are thousands
of others-young girIs and wives
whose homes and social circles have
been invaded by the mania Of the
time-Who do not and cannot compre-
hend the significance of and ultimate
Decentralization attending the tan
go craze.
Fond parents, who draw long faces
to warn their sons against the evil
of the first drink over bar, sit
COM plaeently IN the next room while
their daughters drink deep Of the
first, second and third .bunny-hug I; :"
hence the question may be asked:
IS the temperance wave among men
to be overcome by this intempe
wave among women It is for sensi-
bic men and women whose heads
have not been turned already to
take good long look at these dances
and pass judgment upon their merits.
