IT rs NOT TOO LATE
FOR JUNE CORN

The importance of planting
a good crop ofJune corn should
not be taken lightly by the
farmers at the present time
when the extreme drouth has
cut the already low yields OF
the corn crop in the parish and
at best there will be a scarcity
of this important crop on the
markets.
June corn can be planted as
late as the tenth day Of July
and be expected to make a pay
ing crop, however, the planting
should be done as soon as pos
sible to make the best yields.
There are acres and acres OF
corn in this section that VIII
not make a paying crop anG
ought to be cut for feed and the
ground replanted in June corn
as the prospects for a crop q
corn from this source will bc
better than if this damaged
corn were allowed to cover tho
~rouEd until harvest time.
There are many idle acres
that are starving a few hogs,
or cattle that by cutting Oh
with fence could grow a pay
ing crop of June corn. The
farmer who crows a good cro'
of June corn for home use is
going to be able to sell more OF
the corn crop for good prices
and he will be more able tc
get his barns filled with feed
necessary for his work stock.
This nation being in state
of war would naturally cause
an extra burden to be thrown
on its people, but the droutl
has cut the rice, corn and cane
! crops and there are no vines tC
plant sweet potatoes, so some
body is going to be short or
feed crops. June corn is goinl
to be the great help in thi.
great crisis if it is not neglect
ed too long, as it is not alwav'
profitable to plant after til
10th of July.
Be sure to plant beans, cab
bage, and potatoes in the gar
den. and if there is any vacali
land about the place take
shot at a June corn crop. l
will pay you better than any
1 thing that you can plant at th'
present time.

It is pleasing coincidence that the

This month during the exceeding
drought, l have been urging upon the
farmers the Importance of using the
harrows regularly, so as to keep a mulch
on the ground to conserve the moisture
as much as possible.
Beginning with only three farmer,
who were willing to cultivate their
corn, without the turning pillow, there
are now thirty-one (3D farmers using
shallow cultivation, either their whole
crop or in part.
The difference in yields were very
noticeable last year in favor of the
shallow cultivation, and with this
drought, we expect much better show
ing this year.
Quite number of farmers have ask.

WINNERS SOMETIMES
PAY FOR THE WARS
History Proves That Tributes
Seldom Neutralize Sums
Spent in Fighting.

Many of us recollect when Prus-
sia brought France to her knees; the
! conditions OF peace she imposed
seemed to the world cruel and crush
ing. In addition to ceding Alsace
and Lorraine to her conaueror,
France was to pay IA war indemnity
or 1000. 100000 francs. and continue
TO be occupied by German troops
until the last franc was handed over.
The sum demanded was as iniqut-
Gus as II was colossal. France could
scarcely pay it within a score OF
years and for that term would be
condemned to groan under the heel
OF her oppressor. SO the world
thot: but, to the worlds amazement,
France had paid the last franc and
the German soldier had left her soil
within three years.
When Russia vanQuished Turkey
nearly forty years ago. It was esti-
mated that her victory had cost her
S72b. O,O00-at the rate of $2,160.-
600 day. All she asked OF Turkey.
however, was an indemnity of $780,
100000.
When Prussia beat Austria in
1866 all that was demanded In cash
from the latter was Sl0,00O.00O. The
Chinese Indemnity paid to Japan was
$4,000. 900.
When. in 1897. the Turks had the
creeks Mt their mercy. paltry sI0.-
100000 was all that Greece handed
to her conqueror: and the opium war
Of 1904 ended In China paying the
trifling sum OF $22.5OO,0OO to Great
Britain for the expenses OF making
war on her. In addition to S6,25O,OOO
for opium destroyed.
Such are the war indemnities of
the last century. What about those
OF the future? What sum, when the
last gun has been fired In the pres
ent war, would compensate the allies
for the mere money loss II has
caused? Assuming that the war lasts
only three years. the allies WILL 1t IL
estimated. be at least $4,000. 600. 900
poorer thru the expenses and losses
Of the war.
For generosity toward conquered
foe. the record OF tho United States
can't be beat. II was In 1898 that we
had n little difference with Spain.
Spain was, Of course. badly beaten.
and In the end was obliged to cede
Cuba. Porto Rico. the Ladrone islands
and the Philippines, an area OF ter
ritory about three times the size OF
England.
But so that there should be no
soreness, America actually paid over
f.V,UVVtUUV 10 tne Mdurlu govern
ment. and, more than that, returned
all the Spanish soldiers, together
with their arms. paying the whole
bill of transportation and other ex-
penses
This is not the first time that
has been equally gener- |
Gus. After the Mexican war of sixty |
years ago. when she had taken Cali
fornia. she paid over to the van
quished nation n very large indem- |

SURPRISING WAR
NEWS BAD POLICY
Government Should Take Pub
lie Into Complete Confidence
About Developments.
SECRECY BREEDS FALSEH00D
Grapevine Information Stimu-
lates Mysteries and Leads
to Dissatisfaction.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels did a
wise thing when he made his frank
and unequivocal statement denying the
rumors of disaster that have been cir
culated widely thruout this country.
Secretary Daniels did a less wise
ment. sealed every lip in the navy to
prevent the slightest information from
reaching the public. directly or indi-
rectly, thru conversation. thru the
newspapers or thru any other channel.
Does II not occur to the government,
IN It's annoyances at the mouth to- ear
reports OF vague catastrophe. that II is
itself to blame largely for the preva-
renee OF these stories. and responsible
FOR the harm they do?
The effort to compel censorship; I;
the attitude OF secrecy; the grudging
OF any share to the people OF what the
government Is thinking and doing
all these things encourage the people
xio listen to whatever tale the winds
may carry.
Secretary Daniels in his statement
says:
THE country Is being poisoned by
rumors OF battle and disaster that are
absolutely without the slightest foun-
dalton in truth. Reports from the
commandments OF naval districts. tele-
grams from newspapers and letters
from individuals have forced me to the
conclusion that there Is an organized
conspiracy on foot to alarm and dis
tress the people OF the United States"
The theory Of an organized con-
spiracy to pass around false tidings of
disaster seems hardly necessary to ac-
count for the circulation and per-
sistence Of the rumors.
Secrecy Breeds FalschOOds.
Secrecy and mystery breed false
moods as swamp breeds MOSQUITOES.
Educate the people to disbelieve their
legitimate sources of information, and
they cannot fail to lend credence TO
whatever fabrication fear, or desire. or
Idle speculation may engender.
Secretary Daniels, therefore. I'm
making more rigid his rules to deprive
the public of all accurate Information.
Is merely making the spread of terri
Tying rumors wider and more per-
sistent.
Suppose, in ordinary times, the word
goes about that an American battle
snip or transport has foundered-
such rumors have not infrequently
gained headway-the people watch for
the word OF II in the newspapers. IL
no such word appears, they know the
rumor Is baseless and go about their
business questioning and with
out passing 1t along, and so it dies.
But IN war time, and II such q sit
