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. il
properly conducted, should be found
profitable.-W. H. Dalrymple, Depart
ment Of Veterinary Science, Louisiana
State University.

Democracy Versus Efficiency.

From Il lealet being circulated by the Ma
tional Security League.I
President Wilson laid down Ameri-
cas- platform in the war with the
words to make the world safe for de-
mocracy-the most high, noble and
idealistic aim ever Il nation had In ell
tering the lists Of battle. The United
States has taken up arms to fight for
democracy against autocracy.
As the conflict becomes more close
ly joined and the realization takes a
firmer hold in our minds that the bur-
den of the war must eventually fall nl-
OH this country, we see that there Is
another meaning to this struggle.
Anlerica-a democracy. committed by
its very existence and ideals to the arts
of peace-is engaged in deadly combat
with the most highly organized ma
tiollal machine in the history of the
world. German efficiency was well rec
ognized by all people before the break
ing of the storm Of 1914. and pointed
t. as an example to be emulated.
Now, this efficiency-this singleness of
purpose and power of concentration
which placed German science and in
dustry en- a high pinacle-has been
diverted to the arts of war. Germany
is just as efficient at war as at peace.
1t is this power that nlenaces the en-
tire world today. 1t is this power that
America must overcome ii it is to
make democracy safe.
1t weuTd seem that the crisis to-day
is the test of efficiency. The battle
Is against autocracy, but it IL also
against efficiency. And until America
is in POSITION to meet the task
efficiently. the event will be uncertain.
Our country and our people are to a
certain extent awakening to these
facts. The government is making Pro-
gress but we must remember in our
criticism that we have an entire ma
tional frame Of mind to make over /:
and the people. through such agen-
cies as the National Security League
and the Federal Committee of Pubic
Information. are coming to knOwl-
edge of the seriousness of the situation
and its exigencies. May the awaken
ing proceed with haste. America
efficient is the only password which
will open the doors OF victory!
