supplied by planting land a few

Corn land should be kroken in

turned under in early spring as
green manure for the corn crop.
Land that is plowed five and six
inches cannot produce corn prof.
tably. There is just enough mulch
there to be too wet in the rainy
season, and too dry in the middle
of summer.
When the land has been planted
to peas there should be an appli-
cation of $50 lbs of an equal mix

phoric acid ten days before plant

PLANTING CORN.
BY +. H. CASANOVA

There is more food produced in
an acre of corn than any other &C.
real and it is generally one of the
su. crops. which is all i'm
portaut Ism, because where men
and animals must be fed; Certain
ty of productions stands among the
first requisites, Corn production
10 the basis Of a cheaper food sup
ply for the masses; hence, the pro-
duction of An abundant supply is
one of the essentials of good farm
ing.
Since it is known generally that
Louisiana is not only great hog
state but has great advantages for
the production OF cheap corn, it is
the business of Our farmers to study
the corn question and arrive at
some conclusion as to why the
average of this parish is onlr %
bushels and that some farmers are
producing Gs many as twenty and
twenty five barrels per acre, OIL
nsighboring farms.
As a general thing the farmer In
Vermilicn parish does not give any
attention to the corn land until
planting time, then he plows the
land and plants the seed. This
with the poor seed that is used
from year to year in the parish
will in some measure account for
the poor yields, another reason
that bears great weight is the i'm.
proper cultivation methods that
are not only expensive, but are
detrimental TO the proper develop
ment and high productivity of the
corn plants.
1t may be we'll to state that land
that will not produce twenty bu-
shells of corn should be planted to
some other crop until it is strong

The New Year.


A friend stood at the door;
In either tight-closed hand
Hiding rich gifts, three hundred
and three score;
Waiting to strew item daily Ger
the land,
Zach drop he treads in it, and pass
IS by;
Even as the sower.
1t cannot be made fruitful till it
die
Friend, come thou like a friend
And whether bright thy face.
Or dim with clouds We cannot COM
prehend,
We Il hold our patient hands, each
in his place.
And trust thee TO the end:
Knowing thou leadest onward to
those spheres
Where there are neither DAYS, nor
months, nor years.
Miss Mullock, in this beautiful
poem, gives our ideas better than
we can express them. The idea
of each day being a gift, hidden
from US until its hour comes, is a
pretty thought. So MANY gifts, 50
much time to use for either profit
or loss, and so many hands are
held out eagerly for the coming
days, looking for them to bring
happiness, or gain of some kind
The spirit sometimes grows fain,
before the unknown future, conse-
quently it is enough to take one
day at time and try to make tina,
good. 1t is hard enough even
then and sometimes it is best tc
go hour by hour.

Today And The New Year.

What are you going t. 10 with IT.
To-day is your savio! it is often
crucifed between two thieves, Yes
terday and Tomorrow.
Today you can be happy, not
Yesterday nor tomorrow. There Is
no happiness except Today's.
Most OF our misery is left over
from yesterday or borrowed from
tomorrow. Keep To-day clean.
Make up your mind to enjoy your
food. your work, your play, Today
anyhow
Time is not divided into thee
parts, past, present, and future
There is only one real time; it is
Now.
You can do anything, if you'll
only go at it a day at a time.
If you're bereaved, BETRAYED,
heart broken. why, take day of.
One day will not matter. Today
put away YOUR fostering thoughts
Today take some simple joys. To
day be little happy in the sun
shine. You can do it. It's the
burden of the coming days, weeks,
years, that brushes us. The pre-
sent is always tolerable.
Whoever planned this life of ours
did we'll in giving it to us one day
ut time, We don't have to live il
all at once, thanks be! We've only
got to get through till bedtime.
And at the end of every day we
are bathed in death. In sleep we
go back to our original nothing
ness. Every morn ng we are born
again.
Why let life oppre you? You
don't have to live your life, only
day of it. Come, let's finish our
small task nanfully. It's not long.
Don't let life mass against you.
Attack it in detail and you can
easily triumph. oh, but can't
help thinking of the Past. And
one must plan for the future. "
To be sure. Only forget not that
it is not the Past that determines
the Present; it is the Present that
determines the Past.
The Past is what we make of it.
1t is the temper of the Present that
qualities it. 1t all depends upon
how you now consider it, whether
it bring you despair or discourage
ment.

lessons, utilize its experience make

for the Future, the best prepara-

Whatever hills you have to climb
whatever bridges you have to cross

1t was some caprice of the exploding

untouched.

UNITED STATES WILL
NOT STAND BLACKLIST
England's Note Not Satisfac-

Washington, July 31.-The blow
launched against the British blacklist
in the American note published today
is but the first act of aggressive move
for this country's share in world trade,
now and after the war, officials init
mated today,
Government officials are inclined to
see in the blacklist the allies prelm-
mary step in n trade war against Ger
many, which was clearly outlined at the
economic conference at Paris some
weeks ago. The necessity of keeping
clear of "the war after the war;, and
of showing England that the United
States as a neutral will not participate
in, nor allow herself to become victim
of, any such move, is understood to
have been one underlying reason for the
American blacklist protest.
The far reaching effect of the black
list upon neutral trade and the feeling
that the trade war to follow military
peace may contain even more serious
consequences to neutrals, determined the
administration to enter vigorous pro-
test against the principal involved. 1t
was feared the United States might be
considered committed to the allies trade
policy through keeping silent.
1t is for this reason that England IS

Munitlon shares were firm and In

While reactionary tendencies wers

tons extremely light. Traders put
forth the idea the destruction to win

cause enough tire punctures to add
