THERE SHOULD BE A. FLOCK
OF SHEEP ON EVERY
FARM.

Mutton and lamb are among
the most nutritious of our animal
foods, and wool is one Of our most
necessary staples. A large in
crease in these important pro
ducts is much needed at the pres
ent time owing to the shortage
all over the country, and much
more Of them will be required in
the immediate future.
Louisiana has extensive areas
that could be successfully and
ly to the general food and wool
profitably utilized for sheep pro-
duction, thereby adding immense
supplies; and the intelligent
stocking of such areas with sheep
would be one of the best means
Of conserving the feed which
these lands produce. The num-
Der of sheep in Louisiana, at the
present time, is negligible as COM
pared to what she could support.
Every farm in the State should
carry small flock of sheep; and
our cut-over lands and other ex-
tensive grazing areas should have
considerable numbers Of sheep on
them; for not only will mutton
and wool be required in increas-
ing amounts during the period of
he war, and most probably for
metfme afterwards, for both
food and clothing, but the indus
try, if properly conducted. should
found profitable, and, at this
time, would certainly rank
amongst the most patriotic of en-
terprises, as we told authorize
lively that flood will win the
war;"

householder must realize tha1
when he throws a shovelful Of
anthracite coal into his furnace
its value is equivalent to half q
pound Of sugar. or half loaf OF
bread, or half a pint of milk"
That is the manner in which
Van II. Manning, Director Of the
Bureau of Mines, Department OF
the Interior, endeavored to i'm
press the state assistants Of the
Fuel Administration with the
necessity for the economical use of
fuel. The state deputies had been
called together in Washington by
DR.. II. A. Garfield, the Fuel Ad-
ministrator, for family council
concerning the urgent work to be
taken up in each state
"The householder must, there
fore, appreciate that it is now
worth while to examine his house
and to overhaul his heating equip
ment," continued Mr.. Manning.
Weather strips. double windows,
pipe coverings, clean fues and
chimneys, and tight fittings in
ash pits. doors, hampers and fur
mace parts will all pay. Damper
control is one Of the chief secrets
of economical heating. Clean,
heating surfaces are most essen
tial, as SCOT is a poorer conduc-
tor of heat than asbestos. Care,
attention, and taking pains will
be the greatest factors in saving
domestic COAL
Mr.. Manning said that about
twenty per cent of the SIX hun
bred million tons Of coal mined
in the United States is used for
house heating and that it is SHOW
eled by more than fifteen million
people.
Americans have been as waste
full Of coal as of other resources,
continued Mr.. Manning, largely
because coal has been abundant.
To many consumers it has
seemed hardly worth while to give
time and thought to the saving
Of coal. Conditions have sud
denly changed. To-day it is
.ce~vbody's business to save coal.

One mans careless and wasteful
use may mean an idle factory or
: cold house for his neighbor.
With the world looking to usl
largely for its coal supply, with
increased demands at home, with
! scarcity Of available labor. with
oyer-taxed transportation facili
ties, the consumer of coal must
pause and give serious considera-
ton to the problem which con-
fronts the country.
If the people can be reused to
q intelligent consideration of the |
burning of coal, they can begin
20 save ten per cent Of the pro-
duction, or sixty million tons, at |
once. With more effort. thorough
instruction and q moderate re-
modelling Of al-burning equip
ment which could all be accomp-
lished during the war, a further
considerable saving could bel
made.
The possible saving when
present practice is compared with
The best ideal practice is very
large. If it were possible to sup

INEFFICIENCY OF
The FARM COSTS
MUCH MONEY

Efficiency means accomplishing
work in the shortest possible time
with the least possible exertion. To
be efficient does not mean to work
harder; it gets more returns for the
work done. Efficiency is frequently
lacking on the farm.
Sometimes the horse trough is not
placed near the barn. 1t may mean
that it takes three minutes longer to
water the horses. Yet when the hor-
ses are watered three times day, the
farmer loses practically ten minutes.
In a year this would amount to sixty
hours, or six working days of ten
hours each. Wouldn't it pay such
farmer to spend four or five days pip
ing his water to his barn?
Sometimes the gate into field is
two hundred yards out of the way.
1t takes the driver five minutes Ion
ger to go round where the gate is
than it would if the gate were in the
most direct line. He uses the gate
only once week, yet in year he
would waste four hours going around
by that out the place gate-more
time than it would take to put in
new gate.
l know of one farm where the wat
er supply is hundred yards from
the house. On an average half an
hour day is spent in carrying water
from the well to the house. If man
were hired to carry the years water
supply at one time, it would take him
eighteen 1O-hour days. If he were
paid only dollar and half a day,
the water system on that farm would
cost $27. A water system that would
bring the water to the house and
last life time could be put in for
less than that.
How many days per year is lack of
efficiency costing on your farm AL

harvest was handled with less incon

To ORGANIZE GIRLS
AND BOYS CLUBS
Wants To Get Corn, Pig and
Canning Clubs Going AS
Soon AS Possible.

We wish to inform those inter
ested along the various lines of
! Agriculture in CDhh County that we
have our of" in Marietta with
Mr.. Awtrey, County Superintendent
of School and can be seen there ev-
cry Saturday and first Tuesday.
The latch-string hangs out to all
farmers and their families or TO
any others interested in our kind
of work and we want you to come
and make yourselves a; home.
We will have at all times, for
free distribution, a supply of the
newest and best bulletins pertain
ing to the various phases of agri-
culture.
The enrolment for the Boys and
Girls Clubs will close April LIST. and
while we mean to see if possible,
all interested in such work, during
the next two weeks, we realize that
since so many of the Rural Schools
have closed, it will be very hard to
see all and in order that none be
passed by, we are asking you to
please mail us a card, with your
name, age, pOstoffice, route No. (if
any, school you attend, name Of
teacher, kind of club or clubs YOU
wish to join, Corn, Pig, etc.)
Upon receipt of this you will be
promptly enrolled and we will call
soon to render you any assistance
possible to help you do the best
work and get the greatest results.
n, We wish to say to the Corn Club
Boys who won pigs last season that
they may begin to make prepara-
tion, as we have been instructed to
buy them and hope to have them
ready for distribution by April 18TH
We suggest the sowing of some
Dwarf Essex Rape at once, as we
know of no better forage crop for
pigs at this season and a very small
plot of good soil will make sufff-
cient green feed for a pig for some
weeks.
To the boys who are joining the
Corn Club let us stress tne imp9r-
tance of THOROUGH PREPARA-
TlON of the seed bed.
Your showing in this work last
season is indeed very gratifying but
let us strive to make ours the ban
ner club this year.

About all the things that Smyrna
hopes to gain by this movement
have already been told in previous
issues of the Marietta Journal, but
the celebration that followed the
counting of the ballots has not. To
begin with we might say that we
thought Marietta had a celebration
last fall when President Wilson was
reelected, but we just thought so.
After nearing of what happened in
Smyrna Saturday night we know
that that affair around the square
was just a mild little pink tea,
without much pink in it. Smyrna
celebrated. They shot fireworks,
and something else, and paraded,
and sang, and shouted, and it is re-
ported they even ate peanuts and
drank lemonade but we doubt this.
Smyrna is bone dry, and we do not
think they would go quite this far,
especially under the leadership Of
Grover Cleveland Green, and DR..

you need it, he is some live citizen
too. Fact is Smyrna has got
whole bunch of live ones down
there. Tney will be paving the main
street next, because they just wont
sit still and let Marietta put any
ming over on 'em.
