SURPLUS LAND COULD BE
MADE PROFITABLE

The average Louisiana farmer
owns or controls much more land
than he utilizes for any practical
purposes year after year, and these
surplus lands, generally speaking,
could be made to pay a part of the
expense Of the farm if they were
properly fenced and converted into
pasturage for the grazing of live
stock, according to G. E. Nesom,
Live Stock Extension Service, Louis
lana State University. While no ac-
curate data are available that would
show the earring capacity of all
classes of pasturage, it is certain
that the better pastures in the allu
vial sections of the State have a
earring capacity far in excess of the
ordinary estimates of the average
land in the southern states. One
pasture of 200 acres, consisting of
heavy black land sod with Bermuda
and white clover carried nearly two
head of cattle to the acre for nine or
ten months of the years 1915 and
1916. The only pastures one sees
grazed down to where they are real
ly in the best condition are the small
plats about barns and premises
where the mules and family milk
cows have free access to compare
lively small areas.
The earring capacity of the cut
over pine and hill lands are, of
course, not nearly so great. It is
perhaps safe to say, however, that
the poorest Of our pine hills and
flats will carry one mature animal
for every five acres without i'm
provement, though it is not recon-
mended that they be used in this
way, as all of them can be greatly
improved for pasture purposes by a
lespedeza, white and burr clover,
small expenditure for seeding with
Bermuda and paspalum grasses. It
is quite probable that for at least a
generation to come these pine lands
are going to be more useful for
stock raising on an extensive basis
than for any other purpose, and
when they have served their purpose
in this direction they will be more 4,
productive when cut up into small |
as they no doubt will be in |
due course of time.-L. S. U. Press

Redwood Boy
Describes Trip
Herbert Lauterbach, Brother of Mrs
s Andrew Cook, Member of 146th
Field Artillery
Enlisted in State Forces in West, Tells
of Experiences While Awaiting
Word to Sail
From ST. Peter Herald)

(From st. Peter Herald)
The following letter was received
this week by Mrs. Andrew Cook, from
brother, Herbert Lauterbach, who
is a member of the 10th Field Artil-
lery, now stationed at Camp Mills,
Long Island, New York, awaiting word
to sail for duty overseas. Mr.. Lau-
terbach enlisted in an Idaho Guard
Regiment at Boise. In his letter an
interesting account of the troops trip
east is given. Here it is:
Camp Mills, L. l., N. Y.
Dear Sister:
Received all of your letters and
was glad to hear from all of you. |
don't know whether ever wrote you
about our trip to the east or not. At
any rate now that you have asked for
it l will start at the beginning.
We were camped in Boise, Idaho,
all summer with nothing but few
short hours Of drill to take up our
time. For SO days we had not drop
Of rain but the weather was ideal and
not what you would generally mag
inc from such long dry spell. But
when we received orders to move even

people though for just as we pulled
out Of town the sun was shining
brightly again.
We had very few privileges on our
way to Charlotte. The cars were
guarded on each end and no one was
permitted to leave the train without
a pass and those in authority did not
feel disposed to sign their names
very often. We did however, get a
chance to shake our joints at Kansas
City, Louisville and Knoxville. At
each of these cities we were allowed
off for a few hours. At Kansas City
we had to fall in in company forma-
ton and were marched around town
for an hour. At Louisville we were
allowed to spend hours anywhere
we cheese The depot was so far from
town that it took most of us nearly
all Of that time to go in, get square
meal and get back to the train again.
At Knoxville the band played for
nearly an hour and the darkies could
hardly keep from shaking their feet,
for our band has got lots of real pep.
Meets Red Cross.
We pulled into Ashville about $50
o. m, | don't remember just what
day it was, and there we were met
by the women Of the Red Cross. They
served US with sandwiches and coffee
so we got the band out again for that
was the best we could do to show our
appreciation for their efforts.
By the way, we were met all along
the line, even in small towns, by the
Red Cross and in many cases they
had been waiting for hours for our
trains to pass. If ever there was an
organization that was deserving of
support and credit for doing real
helpful work it is the Red Cross So
ciety of America. They are every
where and helping everyone. Troops

| job. They have here coffee boiler
which in size and construction looks
more like steam engine. There were
several thousand troops in the train
yards at this time and the Red Cross
| fed US all coffee, sandwiches, and
rolls.
After leaving Washington, D. c.,
we travelled up coast along the
Chesapeake Bay and up the Delaware
river to Philadelphia. 1t was about
10 o'clock when we arrived at Phila-
delphia and that took us into New
York about | a. m. the next morning.
We went thru the tube. SO didn't see
much of the city.
The New Camp.
That morning about 7 o'clock we
unloaded at our new camp. 1t was
a sight too which was very discour-
aging. The camp was a mass Of wa
ter and mud with half of the tents
blown down by storm the day be-
fore. 1t would have been much
easier to make a new camp entirely
but we had to wade in and build up
the old one. There are no convenient
ces here whatever. The kitchens
were built for summer use only and
the shower baths which have four
burlap walls and the blue sky for a
roof are not being patronized. | be-

have friends and relatives who senC
us these things but there are thou

Cross is always at their service. They
even come to camps and mend clothes
for the men.
Returning again to our trip. We
arrived at Camp Green, Charlotte, N.
c., one morning about o'clock. 1t
was foggy and it had rained hard the
day before The day was made even
more gloomy when we received the
news that our regiment was to be
split up. The first battalion was as
signed to the 146th u. S. F. A., the
second to the 10th engineers and the
third to the 147th machine gun bat
talon. At first this seemed an aw-
full blow to US for we thought SO
much of our regiment, but as we
learn more about our new duties we
like them even better than the Infan-
try. Artillery work especially is very
interesting and diversified. So far
we have not taken up much practical
work but have spent most, Of our time
trying to master the theoretical side
of the work.
Our camp at Charlotte was like a
park, slightly rolling and lots Of pine
trees all over. The base hospital was
located in thick clump Of trees and
makes an ideal place for GONZALES
cents. Of course we are not looking
forward to renting room there.
Two Organizations
All camps are well supplied with
Y. M. G. A. and X. of G. buildings.
These two organizations usually work
together. The X. of G. buildings are
used more for services and reading

matter which has been rather
uncertain.

come in large numbers prepared
to act as hosts on this occasion.
