Five thousand little boys and girls,
whose daddies are fighting for Uncle
Sam, we're transported into a veritable
Christmas fairyland at the Grand Cen
tral Palace yesterday, tasted all of its
delights until they we're tired, then
went home, each hugging tight a large
package of Yuletide gifts.
The occasion was the formal opening
OF the Soldiers and Sailors Children S
Christmas Carnival, under the auspices
OF the National League for Woman's
Service. II will continue at the Palace
until next Saturday night.

WORK OF THE EXTRA SESSION,

The work of the extra session OF the
Louisiana general assembly is pro-
crossing SO. smoothly that it is said
to be actually probable final adjourn
ment may be taken next Wednesday,
which will be three days before the
expiration of the limit of twenty days
fixed by the governor for the term OF
the sitting.
The only exciting contest that has
yet developed took place IN the house
of representatives over bill to pro-
hibit the sale Of liquor within ten
miles of Camp Stafford, Rapldes par
ish, which has been selected by the
federal military authorities as one OF
the sixteen environments at which the
troops Of the new army to be Or
ganized under the CONSUMPTION law
are to be concentrated and trained.
The bill was voted down, "a to "A,
which puts it to sleep for the rest OF
the session.
There is no opposition of formi-
dable character to any of the import
ant measures named in the governors
proclamation and pending for action,
and unless something unforeseen
arises to disturb the present prospect,
the general assembly is llkel y to make
new record for expeditions, har-
monious and beneficial legislation.
Up to the time of adjournment
Thursday sixteen bills had been final
ly passed and sent to the governor for
approval or veto, and it is taken for
granted all will be signed by the chief
executive. These measures consisted
of eleven house and five senate bills,
among them the appropriation bill to
meet the expenses of the extra SEES
sion; acts amending section 3252 OF
the revised statutes, known as the
widows dowry law; legallzlng the
State Council of Defense; protecting
bridges to be used by troops; punish
ing persons who discourage enlist
ments; penalizing> Instruction and
sedition; protecting water supply of
troops; prohibiting alien enemies
from having firearms in their posses
sion; directing the state government
to cooperate with the federal govern
ment in the prosecution of the war,
and requiring the registration OF
aliens.
The widows dowry bill, which was
the primary cause for the convening
of the extra session, passed the house
by vote of 106 yeas to no nays,
and most of the measures now await
ing final action are expected to pass
with almost equal unanimity.

PLANT OATS AND MAKE HAY.
"Cure All You Can While You Can"
Timely Slogan for Farmers.

Perform patriotic duty and prac-
tice safe farming by planting at least
few acres in oats.
With nations clamoring for meats
and dairy products, with an ever IN
creasing demand for every kernel OF
corn to supplement the Worldwide
shortage of wheat, it behooves every
one engaged in agricultural pursuits
TO contribute his part by putting
down as large an acreage IN winter
oats as possible, for besides serving
as valuable winter pasture, TINS
crop may be reaped for either cereal
or forage purposes.
Due to the great scarcity OF SEED
oats, it is of utmost Importance that
all those having oats of a good quail
ity be urged not to feed, or sell for
feed, but to hold them for planting
purposes; and those who have no
oats on hand, should be prevailed up
on to procure them early IN the sea-
son, that there will be no delay IN
planting when the time comes.
Our people are urged to feed corn
or other grain to work stock or to
purchase northern grown spring oats
for feeding, in order to save the
Louisiana grown oats for sowing.
By way of suggestion I will say re-
suits have shown that sowing at the
rate of two to three bushels per acre
gives the best yield, and the sowing
should be done from September to
October, inclusive; the former month
being preferable when used for graz
ing, and the latter when used for
either cereal or forage purposes.
Permit me to state further, that the
transportation problem under present
conditions promises to be very serl-
Gus one, and for this reason it is OF
paramount importance that our peo-
pie grow sufficient quantity OF hay
to feed their work stock and other
farm animals, instead of making I'M
portations from other sections of the
country; for by SO doing not only will
the pressure on transportation
agencies be relieved, but there will be
a greater supply of marketable hay
for our large commercial centers
where it cannot be grown.
AS this parish is facing consider
able shortage IN It's nay crop due W
the drouth, this is the time when
every blade of grass should be cut,
cured and stored away. /
Corn tops will make good feed when
cut, shocked and sheltered.
The time is at hand to get the
slogan going, "Cure all you can, while
you cam

Cotton Crop Conditions.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune's
estimate of the growing cotton crop
in this country indicates small de-
crease in acreage as compared with
last year-probably about five per
cent; plant small but vigorous as a
rule and thoroughly cultivated; con-
dition varying from almost ideal in
some districts to almost calamitous in
others; labor supply short in many
localities but fairly adequate, general
ly speaking, with a prospect for much
deficiency in the picking season;
presence of the boil weevil is noted
by some correspondents, even ouside
of Alabama and Georgia, where the
pest is especially dreaded, but it is
too soon to form an accurate idea of
this menace, which drouth and heat
have minimized up to this time.
