RECENT LOSSES IN BATTLE

Some idea of what losses the
allies are going to suffer when
the concerted movement against
Germany is begun may be inferred
from the casualties at Nueve
Chapelle. This advance, which
was along a front of 1000 yar DIS
and for a distance of three
quarters of mile. was made un-
Ilder the most favorable circum-
stances. An inferno Of artillery
fire, called by British observers
1.-THE greatest the world has ever
seen,' preceded the attack. So
far as known the British lost 6551
in killed. wounded and missing,
with 2O51 killed. Other lists,
however, may add to the casual
ties. The Germans lost 100 in
prisoners. Their losses in killed
and wounded are unknown. The
British estimate the total German
casualties at S17. 00O.-Galves-
ton Tribune.

LOUISIANA CAN GET ALONG

We heartily concur in the fol

R"a" what our cOnfrere says or
the subject:
Every thoughtful white man
in Louisiana must endorse the
course of f. l.. Chappius in the
agitation he has begun against
the colonization of the japanese
in Louisiana. Mr.. Chappius has
been stirred to protest by the
recent sale of a Lar ge truck farm
in this State and the proposal to
stock it with japanese laborers.
As this would prove the entering
wedge for the Jap, protest is both
timely and important. Louisi-
ana has already one race problem,
which presents itself every day
of the year, and which is ever a
costly one in many respects. In

A LAY SERMON.

The following editorial clipped
from the Memphis Commercial
Appeal is so timely, and clothed
in so much truthfulness, that W,
repr oduce it for the benefit o.
those inclined to take the name
of their Maker in vain. The arti.
Gle deals on the subject Of Pro.
family, as follows:
"Men are careless in their man
ner of speech and it must be re-
gretfully admitted that many
women are not as careful as they
should be.
"The growing use of profanity
is one Of the CT ines of today. The
man who uses profanity or OBJ
scenity in public conveyances and
meeting places or in any public
place is no gentleman. It is be-
coming common nuisance. Oc-
casionally he is soundly thrashed,
s he deserves to be. In nine eases
out of ten he escapes, because a
woman s escort restrains himself
rather than make matters worse
by a public exhibition.
Some indulge in profanity un-
consciously. as matter of habit,
but tactfullv grard themselves in
the presence of ladies. The mere
fact that they indulge in the use
Of profanity at all should cause
them to fpel thoroughly ashamed
Of themselves.
In the catalogue of sins there
is none more vile and execraIle
than the wanton indulgence in
profanity Sermons have been |
consistently preached against pro-
'anity, but the carelessness of
speech continues.

Last season the Southwest Lou.

, buted leaflet outlining six
acre rotation plot for the benefit
OF the small farmer who wants to
lalse hogs to supply his own meat
and small surplus. Some of
these are still on hand and will
be sent out gladly TO any one who
may desire them. 1t ought to be
considered disgrace fer any
farmer in Southwest Louisiana to
buy pork, beef, mutton or poul-
try and their by-products this
year.
The products of the farm con
stitute the raw material, while
hogs, sheep, dairy cows and beef
cattle are the factories that con
vert the hay, corn and cotton raw
material into manufactured arti.
cles like. bacon, lard, sausages,
hams, porter house steaks, tender
loin steaks. wool, mutton, butter.
cheese, milk. etc. The real farm
er is a manufacturer as well as a

we all be real farmers this year?

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TIONS.

"Sweet are the uses of adyers
ity," sang the old poet, and tn,
truth of the statement is empha
sized by events manifold. The
farmer whose seed failed to germ
mate during the dry weather thi,
Spring is apt to attribut that re
suit to the drought. In sense il
is true, but it is not all of the
truth. If the rainfall equalling
the average Spring precipitation
had been realized the seeds would
have sprouted in spite of bad prep
alation of the soil; but the real
reason why there was loss of
seed was because the farmer had
failed to prepare his land prop
srly.
All agricultural authorities
agree, as has been observed in
these columns before. that the
best cultivation is that which is
given the crop before it is plant
ed. No amount of cultivation
after the crop comes up can make
up for the failure to prepare the
land thoroughly to receive the
seeds. SO, the lesson Of the
drought is: Never be in such
great haste as to allow yourself
to plant seed of any kind i'll i'm
properly prepared soil. If the
drought will make that truth sink
deep into the mind of every farm
er in the land, it will be most
lesson indeed.
1t is not too early to begin to
talk about cultivation. Last year
the corn crop Of Southwest LOU
isiana was cut to the extent of
hundred thousand. or perhaps by
nature to gather food from the
soil and convey it to the growing
plants. 1t follows, then, that any
system of cultivation which dis
turbs these roots unnecessarily,
which cuts or breaks them. is de-
the plant of the nutrition
Necessary to enable it to produce
he best results.
Unfortunately. the farmer did
lot charge the shol tage of his
-leld up to the true cause. which
vas a too lavish use Of the turn
ng plow; he attributed it to the
lrought. Let's not repeat that
mistake this year. Throw aside
he big turning plow and keep the
rass down and the soil stirred
