Forecasts concerning the proba-
bic duration of the great European
war are plentiful, but these forecasts
are mere conjectures. No man can
speak with AUTHORITY as to what the
future holds in store far war-smit-
ten Europe.
At the same time we know that
foodStuffs are going to be scarce
and high for some time to come,
even though the war should cease
before the end of the current year.
The chief occupation of the people
who inhabit Southwest Louisiana
is agriculture. whether peoble
fight or whether they spend their
time clipping coupons they are
bound to eat, and those who fight
eat more than those who clip cou
pons.
The moral, therefore, is plain.
Let Southwest Louisiana prepare
to produce her share of provisions
necessary to stock the Quartermas-
ter's departments in all the armies
British, French, German, Rus
sian, Austrian, Belgian, Servian
and all others.
The war may continue to affect
Our cotton resources injuriously
by closing down of mills in the
war zone---but be it war or peace
mankind must eat. Therefore, you
farmers of Southwest Louisiana,
cut down your cotton acreage i'll
1915 fully fifty percent and crowd
in foodstuffs.
Don't wait another week for time
is passing swiftly and the time to
begin cutting down your 1915 cot
tor acreage is now. Plant twenty
