SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

One of the important events SEIZED.
uled for Southwest Louisiana within
the next five weeks is the great annual
convention of members and friends of
the Southwest Louisiana Development
Bureau.
This meeting willcloSe the first years

second year of effort. No member of
this Bureau should permit himself to
miss this meeting, and everybody who
is interested in the welfare of South.
west Louisiana should make it point
to attend.
The meeting will take place at some
central point and at a date due notice
will be given through the press of the
district.
In addition to the election of officers
it is proposed to hold a two days inSti.
tute in which distinguished authorities
will discuss questions of vital interest
to the farmers and business men of the
State. Live stock, LeSpedeza, Crimson
and Red Clover, Cow Peas and forage
crops generally, Silos and Cattle Tick,
will probably be the lines along which
the discussions will be had.

Don't neglect the matter of selecting
your seed corn while it is yet on the

Herein lies the valtle OF selecting the
ear while in the field. It is better to
select one ear from a strong stalk pro.

to get it from stalk bearing only one

BELGIAN LINES YIELD
German infantry Steadily Advancing
Though Belgium is the Report. -
Allied Armies of France and Eng
land Coming to the Support of the
BeIgians

The European war situation is diff
cult to ascertain on account of the
strict censorship OF all reports from the
front. The general trend Of all the
reports however that can be gathered
indicates that the German Infantry is
steadily making advances through
Belgium. The line of battle is stretched
across the entire German frontier and
fighting is said to be general. Up tC
the present time most of the fighting
has been confined to the Germans and
BelganiS, The Belgians have with.
stood the German advances nobly
But now the the French and British
allies are coming up to support the
Belgians and the contest between
Germany and Belgium is becoming in
cidental. The Government of Belgium
has been removed from Brussels tC
Antwerp a strongly fortified city on
the coast. A report has come that
Brussels has probably fallen into the
hands of the Germans.
1t is reported that the retrograde
movement of the Belgians does not
necessarily mean defeat, but it may
mean that the Belgians are merely
checking the German movement while
the French and English are preparing
to meet the German advances.
The losses both on the German side
and the Belgian are enormous,
1t is almost certain that Germany
will not acCede to the ultimatum deliv
cred by Japan day or two ago and il
that event the war will likely spread
to the far east. The action of Japan ir
taking hand in the European affair is
looked upon in this country with dis
favor.

Had the writer the privilege and
pleasure of planting townsite and

inside of the sidewalk, next to the

street broader appearance. put the

AVOID THE SPRING DISEASES
Give Extra Attention to Health and
Condition of All Farm Stock
Worms Cause Much Trouble.

Now Ii the time to give a little ex-

ken than right how In doing all you
can to rid our stock Of worms and
parasite infection. Practically all
spring diseases and troubles Of all
farm stock are caused by worms, and
with the opening Of spring these
pests will develop and multiply In In
caleulable numbers and with such
favenous and destructive appetites 1t
is impossible fer farm stock to thrive
when they are present..
Their presence is indicated by
drowsy, dull ayes, rough coats. gaunt-
hess, general rundown condition, in
digestion, finally resulting In the De-
velopment of disease. Sometimes
the animals may have q GOOD appe-
tite, but the food they eat does them
little, If any, good. The trouble 10
the worms In the stomach are getting
all the nutrition and the animal is
practically starving. Get rid Of the
worms early and when spring opens
up your stock will have every chance
to thrive and keep healthy.
Give them a good tonic something
that will kill and ekpel the worms
and at the same time tone and con.
ditisn the stomach. Do it now, and
yoa will be a good many dollars bet.
ter off few months hence.
There are some excellent prepare
tiens on the market for worms which
you can test without risk before you
pay. Look them up and get rid Of
these proateating pests before they
get a frlA spring footing among
your stock.
