Washington, Oct. 9.-The increased
demand in European countries for
American horses, caused by the war,
presents an excellent opportunity to
farmers of the United States. This
demand may continue for a decade or
longer, as when peace is restored
more horses will be needed for agri-
culture. Already agents Of European
nations are buying horses in this
country and Canada. 81 . 7..i
1t is emphasized that. only. horses
of high quality may be probably

goods. III fact it is bound to result
in higher priced goods, no matter by
whom the cotton is now held, but it
will be some consolation to the beneV-
client to know that if they do help to
corner cotton, it will at least assist
the actual producer-differing in this
respect from most schemes of this
kind.
But we repeat that every effort
should be made to assist the producer
only. We suspect that there are
others" who expect to be benefited.
We are moved to believe so, from see
ing a four page ad., said to be running
in all the newspapers of large town
in Illinois in which the Buy-a-bale
movement is exploited. Far be it from
us to cast the first stone at possible
phiIanthropist, but does it look reason.
able that man or body OF men, in a
section far removed from the actual
scene of the cotton industry, should
spend such large sums for advertising
besides circulari2ing the banks of the
country, to buy cotton from philan
thropic motives alone? Our neighbors
of Illinois are good people, but they
are practical rather than visionary:
hard-headed men of business, and they
are not paying out big money for ad
vertising, merely from love of the
Southern farmers.
1t is important that due care should
be taken, or the latter end of this
matter will be worse than the be
ginning.

A FALSE REPORT THAT HAS COST
MILLIONS.

The statement of The Progressive
Farmer that the curtailment in cotton
consumption is not going to be nearly
SO great as pessimists and panic
makers have declared, is abundantly
supported by DR.. T. N, Carver of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, perhaps the foremost American
student. of agricultural economics.
Speaking on this point the other day,
he said.
English mills can run without much
curtailment, if any, so far as the supply
of hands is concerned. Many of them
are women, and, in case of necessity
more women can work. Besides hel
total army of 100000 is not much
greater than her army of unemployed
The only question is as to her markets
for cotton goods. Germany and Aus
tria are the only markets likely to be
closed. The rest of the world will re
main open, and her carrying trade is
not likely to be so seriously impaired
as to prevent her from marketing these
light freights. After the war is ever
those countries which have not beer
able to get cotton will be clamorlnf
for it"
We cannot escape the belief tina
many bear" spectators and othe'
people anxious to buy cotton cheap
have purposely and deliberately fos
tered the wild talk about the wa
making it necessary to carry over hal
the present cotton crop.-The Progress

WEAR COTTON CLOTHING.

The proposal to limit the production
of cotton in 1915 shows that the cotton
men are losing their heads over sit
uation largely conjured up by some
ones too lurid imagination. To limit
production is to run a-muck. 1t is an
interference with the liberty of the
individual not justified by the circum-
stances, for there can be little doubt
that when the smoke has cleared away
that it will be found that there will
soon be a strong demand for cotton,
increased rather than decreased by
the war. The conflict, coming as it
did on the eve of the cotton harvest,
naturally demoralized the market for
the staple, but as the need of cotton is
made greater by the war, the situation
will soon right itself. No cotton in
1915 would prove a greater calamity
than the surplus of 1914, which is ap-
parently driving the pesslmlStS or to-
day frantic.
1t would be much wiser to deprecate
over-production, and encourage diver
sification as has been done all during
the seven lean years of the boil weevil,
then let the individual decide for him.
self whether he shall take the risks of
cotton-planting. The banks and the
merchants will help him to make a
proper decision. Anything further
than this is tyrannical in the extreme,
inexcusable in democracy.
Increase the demand for cotton by
encouraging the wearing of cotton
clothing. In the South, little else is
needed, for the greater part of the
year. Foster movements for home
cotton mills, and the heart of the
trouble will be reached more effica.
ciously than by mad attempts to en-.
croach upon personal liberty.

GREEK GIFTS.

The Buy a bale movement, with
proper safeguards, can be made very
helpful at this crisis, but it should be
insisted, at all times, that the cotton
be bought from producer who is not
in position to hold his product for
himself. Otherwise, the scheme will
prove anything but beneficial either to
individuals or the community in gen.
eral, as it can easily degenerate into
the worst form of cornering the staple,
from which the public will suffer in
future by the increased cost of cotton

PRAY FOR PEACE.

The President has requested that
Sunday. October 4th, be observed
throughout the United States by
church services in which the people
shall unite in a prayer for peace for
the war-af1icted nations of Europe.
Whatever ones secret sympathies may
be in the struggle going on across the
sea, whatever ties may bind to one or
the other of the nations involved
surely prayer for peace is one all
may unite in, until a great thought
wave shall go upward to the Ear that
hears the sincere pleas of mankind.
Whether Gentle or Jew, Catholic or
Protestant this is common ground
where all can meet with the one de-
sire: the good of humanity. And such
prayers will afford indeed "the cloud
of witnesses" that true civilization has
no part in war, and no desire stronger
than the restoration of peace.
The response to the Presidents wish
should be general. In every town and
hamlet wherever spire points
heavenWard or a simple bell calls to
the house of God, there should the
people gather, and hIumbly bowling
upon their knees, ask the Giver of
every good and perfect gift, for peace
in the world. Wherever practicable
union services should be held that by
the larger gathering of people the
greater inspiration for the prayer of
faith may follow.
- In st. Francisville, there will be
services at Grace Church, and the
rector is using every means to
have the largest attendance possible.
The Bishop of Louisiana has prepared
a form for the peace prayer, and the
anthems of the various nations will be
sung by the choir We hope to be
able to report that every one who
could was there, joining in the appeal
for peace on earth, good will to all
men.

STATE PENAL FARM KEEPS UP
PROGRESS.

Despite the expected high price of
sugar, the Board of Control of the
State Penitentiary will adhere to it's
decision to manufacture the highest
grade and sell direct to the consumer,
to their mutual best advantage.
Col. C. Harrison Parker, chairman OF
the board, announces the completion
of the fine new warehouse of solid
concrete, adjoining the sugar mill and
refinery at Angola. The structure is
200xS0 feet, and has storage capacity
of 10000 barrels. This will put the
board in position to store. it's sugar
and hold it for the best prices Every.
thing is now in readiness to manufac.
ture white graduated upon the place
with it's own force and equipment, and
the Penitentiary expects to grind 10000
tons Of cane grown upon it's own farms
1t anticipates realizing 100000 for its
crop this year.
The Penitentiary also has raised
more corn than it has barn space II
has not yet completed the corn harvest
but the yield will exceed 100000 barrels
The crop will run from twenty to
forty bushels an acre, and it is all
good corn, flint hard and weevil proof
The colony of hogs is also being in
creased all the time. There will be 900
to 1000 animals of it's own raising
slaughtered this winter. The industry
is being developed by devoting more
acreage to grazing. Five or six hun
dred acres are being set out in oats
clover, corn and peas, with the hog
part of the proposition specially in
view.

1t is becoming we'll recognized fact
that in the future the really good
farmer will be the man who regards
washed-away fields as little short of
crime, and whose only commercial
fertilizer bill is for phosphoric acid and
possibly potash. He will grow peas
and beans in summer and clovers in
winter, and, instead of buying expen.
sive cottonseed meal and nitrate of
soda, will use these crops to draw on
the immense stores of nitrogen that
lie in the air above our fields The
clovers and vetches everywhere in the
South, are demonstrated successes.

A parish superintendent in a neigh
boring parish asked every teacher al
the parish institute who took their
local paper to hold up their hands, and
only six responded. The superintend
ent expressed great surprise and said /:
you don't spend a dollar year for
your local paper, yet you expect them
to print free of charge, notices of all
Institutes, insert long programs, expect
them to advertise you, thus assisting
you to climb the ladder to better
positions and better salaries, without

To remove iron rust, boil cupful of
rice in two quarts of water for thirty
minutes. Let it stand overnight and
strain through cheesecloth. Soak the
iron rust spots in the ricewater for
four or five hours and rinse in clear
water. This will remove iron rust of
long standing and may be used in
cases where lemon juice and salt
would injure the fabric. If the latter
method is used the spots must be ex-
posed to the sun.

BOATS ON THE BIG RIVER.

Now that the experiment of Capt.
Barnard, who floated Barge No. from
New Orleans to st. Paul, Mimi, has
shown that freight can be more cheap
ly transported by boat than by rail, it
remains only for the plain common
sense of business people to revive river
transportation, and make the great
stream a highway of commerce and a
great feeder to trade with New Or
leans, Central America and Panama
1t must be admitted, however, that
much educational work must be done
before the population of the inland
country are impressed with the fact
that they have great market-the
equal, say, of st. Louis or Chicago
in New Orleans. A newspaper report
er, who accompanied Barge No. 5, for
instance, found people in Arkansas,
who knew of New Orleans only
vaguely as the city of Mardi Gras. But
a few practical results of shipping to
New Orleans would correct such mis-
apprehension, provided of course, that
New Orleans sees that results are pro-
fitable to the shipper. Inter-town
trade and travel will be possible with
more boats on the river, and indeed a
very wide range of usefulness is open
to renewed river facilities.
A party of prominent ladies of a
neighboring parish are taking the
round trip on the steamboat, America,
this week. and will no doubt derive as
much pleasure from it as any trip they
could make costing three times as
much. 1t is in the power of influential
and prominent women, socially, to re-
vive interest in steamboat travel, as
their taking such trips would make it
fashionable, and their example would
be Immediately followed by many. No
more delightful fad could be introduced
than to bring back the dolce far niente
days of travel on the Mississippi as it
was in the real floating palaces of days
gone by. 1t is pity that this does not
appeal to some society women, suf-
ficiently imbued with public spirit, to
promote this as a popular diversion.
