EVERY LOUISIANA FARM
SHOULD RAISE SHEEP

Mutton and lamb are among the
most nutritious of our foods, and
wool is one of our necessary staples.
A large increase in these important
products is much needed at the pres
ent time, and will be more needed in
the immediate future.
Louisiana has extensive areas that
could be successfully and profitably
utilized for sheep production, thereby
adding immensely to the general food
and wool supplies; and the intelli-
gent stocking of such areas with
sheep would be one of the best means
of conserving the feed which these
lands produce.
The number Of sheep in Louisiana
at the present time is negligible as
compared to, what she could support
Every farm in the state should
carry a small flock Of sheep; and our
cut-over lands and other extensive
grazing areas should have considerable
numbers of sheep on them. For not
only will mutton and wool be requir
ed in increased amounts, for both food
and clothing, but the industry, II
properly conducted, should be found
profitable.-W. H. Dalrymple, Depart
ment Of Veterinary Science, Louisiana
State University.

SAVE GOOD OATS
FOR PLANTING SEED

Indications are that the supply Of

who have raised oats of good quality
are urged to save them for seed rath-
er than to feed them. In many parts
Of the South the oat crop winter kill

ties, and those favored sections where
a partial or full crop was produced
should save every available bushel TO
meet this demand.

With Paris boulevards echoing with
''vives" for American troops our inter
est In the welfare of our ally vastly
Increases, and the facts are not lack
ing to encourage the belief that she is
already on the road to recovery from
the blow Of invasion by ruthless en-
envy.
One Of the most important devel-
opments Is the announcement that
one Of the largest banking institutions
In America concerned with foreign
trade, the Guaranty Trust company
of New York, has opened a Paris
branch to handle the rapidly increas-
ing volume of French business.
This action may surprise many per-
sons who had thought Of France as
bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bank, however, gives figures indi-
eating that France Is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems with
q stout heart and never failing cour-
age, but is re-establishing her export
business with this country.
In 1914, the year Of the outbreak OF
the war, imports from France to this
country totaled S141, 440,252. This to-
tai was reduced to S77,15S,7 TAO in 1915,
but last year the value Of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to
S102, OFT 900.
"A nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader
saws the Trust company's statement
possesses recuperative powers which
Justify the belief that she will emerge
from the present conflict prepared TO
meet and solve triumphantly the PROP
TENS which confront her."
The commercial and industrial rec
ord of France, following past wars, in
dicates that she should recover quickly
from the actual physical destruction
inflicted In the present conflict. The
reconstruction Of railroads, the erection
of factories to replace those destroyed
and the replacement Of the mechanism
Of Industrial activity that will be re-
quired and that Is In part already
planned, offer a peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives Of Amer
lean engineers and business men in this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect, the enlistment Of American
money and effort In the great task Of
| reconstruction that will remain at the
end Of the war will tend to cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge In par
the debt they owe to France for hel
friendly interest In the welfare an(
progress Of the United States from
the beginning Of Its life as a nation
In judging the industrial status o.
any nation, its production and con
sumption of coal, iron, and steel ant
the growth Of its transportation sys
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1859, French industries consumed
q million tons Of coal, Of which 18.'
millions were taken from home mines
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil
lions, of which Al million tons wer
taken from home mines.
In 1859, the French output Of cas-
iron was $4,000 tons, and Of steel
100000 tons. In 1914. France pre-
duced 5,311 900 tons Of cast iron an
46SA000 tons Of steel.

SELECTED SEED CORN
GIVES BEST YIELDS
Seed Corn Should Be Selected in the
FieId-Heicht Of Ear, Length OF
Shank, and Shuck Covering
Among Points to Be
Considered.

The production of good yields OF
aration and tillage of the land, and
good seed. The rainfall is also i'm
portant, but since we have to accept
the seasons as they come, we may
disregard this factor in discussing the
question Of better corn. After every
thing possible has been done for the
next crop in the way of improving the
fertility of, the soil and putting 1t in
first-class condition to plant, the very
best seed that lit is possible to obtain
should be planted. If one has a good
variety of corn on his place we do not
hesitate to say that the best seed pos
sible for him to plant can be obtained
from his own field. 1t is law of ma
ture in both plant and animal life that
like produces like" If one Of two
stalks of corn grown under the same
conditions of soil and seasonal inf1u-
ences and with a like area of ground
produces twelve ounces of grain and
the other only ten ounces, the
chances are that the grain from the
high producing stalk will yield like
increased amount of grain. That this
does not always hold true is because
of the tendency of corn to be thor
oughly mixed in the field by pollen
from all sorts of stalks reaching the
silks and fertilizing the grain; but IL
one is careful to select only the best,
the tendency will be to improve the
yielding quality Of the corn from year
to year.
Select Seed Corn In the Field.
In the early fall go into the field
and select seed corn from stalks that
have yielded the most corn, making
sure that the stalk has not been ia
vored by better soil and that there is
not a skip in the stand on either side
Of It, Note should also be taken Of
the height Of the ear from the
ground. The ear should be less than
half way from the ground to the top
of the stalk. The shank should be Of
moderate length, so that the point Of
the ear will tip downward when ma
ture, and the ear should also be well
covered, with the shuck tightly closed
over the tip. This is one of the most
effective safeguards against weevils.
If the corn is not gathered at the
time of seed selection the stalks
chosen may be bent down below the
ear so that no trouble will be had in
finding them later.
Protect Against WeeviI.
After the selected ears have been
gathered they should be stored in some
place inaccessible to weevils, or pro-
vision should be made for treating
the corn with high life" in case wee
wills should appear. Some time before
planting all of the selected ears
should be shucked and the crop from
the best ears should be chosen for
that purpose. The SHOW" ear may
not produce a greater amount of corr
per acre than the rough ear, but on
account Of its high percentage Of
grain 1t will give more actual feed
Ing value than the other.
It is desirable also for the corn tt
be uniform in type and color, espe
cialfy so If it is ever to be sold fol
seed.-W. R. Perkins, State Agent

University.

LAWYER B. T. MosELEY SPEAKS
ON NEGRO MIGRATION"

The speech at Grace Presbyterian
church, under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Lyeeum, by the Hon.
Beauregard F.. Moseley, upon "Nsgro
Migration North, /" was one of the most
definite as yet heard upon. the sub
ject.
Mr. Moseley is of the opinion that
the war in Europe, by demanding of
this country men and munitions of war,
took from the country on the one hand
fifty per cent of the|workers in the in
dustrial plants of the country, while at
the same time, they called for an. in
crease of fifty per cent in the capacity
of the plants, creating demand in the
northern part of the country for labor
which has not as yet been supplied,
and that this gave to the Negro an op-
portunity to be again welcomed in the
industrial centers of the North, not as
ward of the nation, but as a worker,
as an economic factor, whose coming
meant not tolerance on the part of the
dominant races of the North, but dol
lars, profits, war brides and a life of
ease, and that his coming to the North
will be welcome and his stay made per-
manent if he performs the work as
signed to him in an industrious, me-
chanic like manner and labors consist
emily. '..-
He also pointed out the danger of
permitting the control of the Negro g
social and political life to get into the
hands of the dominant races, urging
the solidarity of the race as the best
way to secure the recognition their
merits deserve.
He also announced the formation of
the National Negro Immigrant and
Home Finding Bureau of Reliable In
formation, which would deal in all
kinds of property, city, suburban and
farm, as we'll as buy and dispose of
homes in the North for those in the
South, and vice versa.
His is comprehensive and complete
Program, and as chairman of the Civic
and Public Affairs Committee of the
Appomattox Club, all speakers in the
future upon this subject will be re-
quested to speak along these lines. 1t
is hoped that our people will heartily
approve of this course and for once
stand together, as we can only hope to
rise and be respected by first respect
ing ourselves.
