CROWLEY WHARF LIKE
SHIP in DESERT


A news item in the Crowley Signal
Of Dec. 9, says;
Contractor H. J. Andrus has just
completed the wharf and incline of
the Crowley Wharf Company at the
head of navigation on the Medlenka
river. The unloading device and en-
CINE are on the ground and the begin
ming of operations now waits only on
the installation of the egine,"
That last clause "the beginning of
operations now waits only on the in
stallation Of the engine" sounds very
good but what we would like to en-
quire is to what use it will be put
when in operation. To us it is a well
known fact that the famous Med
enka river is not navigable, and this
it a very regrettable fact, too, al
though it is possible to make it so
There are long stretches of the river
that are so clogged with hyacinths
that is is utterly impossible for any
bnat-nOt even ~Pirogue-to vani
gate it. The writer knows whereof
he speaks, having spent two whole
days in trying to get high powered
gasoline boat through one span of the
ver, and has not been successful.
The conditions existing in Medlenks
liver can be remedied, but it is up Il
NE people of Crowley to see that thu
|ork Of clearing the river is accom-
ished before they make much noisr
put their wharves and navigation.

PAY YOUR POLL TAX
OR BE "SQUAW MAN

Past experiences have taught US
that no nan Of Jefferson Davis par
isb wants to be a "Squaw Man" yet
the first of January, 1917, will find a
number in just that fix, through their
own neglect in failing to pay their
poll tax.
Under the Louisiana election laws
no one is allowed to vote who has not
paid his poll tax for at least two con-
secutive years before the legal limit
for the payment Of such taxes. This
legal limit is December 81 Of each
year and there is no possible extern
sion This year December 81 comes
on Sunday, so Saturday the Both is
the limit. If you do not pay your
poll tax b ythe Both you are "gOne
gosoin"-nothing can save you-and
YOU will have two full years in which
to brood over your neglect and make
your "never agains."
If some kind friend has looked after
your interests in this way in years
past, don't get it into your head that
he will continue to look after your
interests for all time to come. He
may decide that it is up to you this
time.
Another duty which devolves on yoU
this year is the necessity Of regis
tering under Act No. 1876 Of 1916, anC
you are duyl notified that all present
registrations become null and vOiC
after January 2, 1917. The Offcia
announcement Of the new registration
appears in this issue Of the Journa
with the dates on which the registrar
will apper at the dicerent percinct'
in the parish.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Fears that the
population of the United States lie
growing so fast that it will outstrip

Agriculture David H. Houston, made

ed the lowest point in 1913, and since
then has increased materially. At the
same time there has been a marked
increase in the production Of swine.
Sheep have declined slightly. More
Of these meat animals have been
slaughtered under government super

June 80, 1916, than ever before, the
'eport states. The heaviest slaugn-

mails, however.
Secretary Houston says that the
situation gives reason for the bright
est optimism, it being indicated that
the United States cannot only supply
its own food needs, but can feed a
'arge proportion of the people Of the
outside world.
The report states that the depart.
ment has theoretically worked
through the eradication of disease
and the development of stock raising
to increase the food supply. He rec.
ommends the Inauguration of Wig.
orous campaign against tuberculosis
in hogs and cattle which, he estimates.
S causing annual losses in the United
States of $25,0O0,0OO. The grazing
capacity of the public domain has been
increased from Is to 80 per cent dur.
ing the year, the report says. The
perfection of grazing regulation on
an additional 25O,OOO,OOO acres of pub.
lie lands would enhance the meat sup.
ply, says the Secretary. Secretary
Houston advocates more sheep raising.
The secretary's report states that
the secret Of continuing to feed the
world lies in the expansion by the
American people of the acreage OF
titled lands, Food crops should be
stabilized and better regulated, he de.
clares. Crops should be rotated sci.
entifcally, the secretary declares, and
the entire business of tilling the sol
should be placed on a more scientific
basis.
Mr.. Houston's report says much
progress has been made in improvins
methods of marketing crops, particu
larly fruits and vegetables. He tell!
of his market news service by which
news of shipments of crops is dis
tributed to the farmers.
/ A marked improvement in the quail
ity of food and drugs offered tn,
public has been brought about through
rigorous enforcement Of the Food an,
Drugs act, says the report.
