And yet we are now called upon not
only to feed ourselves. but to feed
Europe to a large extent. And we
must do 1t If we win the war.
Where will we get the meat? You
can do your part. on your farm and
in your back yard by producing
more poultry-increasing the supply
Of eggs and chickens. geese and
ducks. Our total number of beef an
imals can not be increased with suf-
ficient quickness. Several years are
required to build up cattle herds.
Hogs can be Increased considerably
in year. They can be Increased
faster than any other meat animal
But poultry can be doubled in a
year. 1t offers the fastest and the
cheapest possible source of meat in
crease. That is why 1t is SO import
ant that everyone help in poultry
production next year.
The more poultry and eggs we
produce the more poultry and eggs
we will eat. The more of that food
we eat the less beef and pork we
will need or want-leaving that
much more to go to Europe. Thus
We do indirectly the thing we can't
do directly. By poultry production
We get quickly more meat to win the
war. although we cannot increase in
that time the number of our meat
animals.
Get some good hens. You will
help win the war. You will reduce
your own cost of living. You will
turn waste into food.

TIMBER SALES
DOUBLED IN YEAR

Sales of National Forest timber in
the Fiscal Year 1917 were more than
double those of 1916. according to
the annual Report of the Forester.
The total amount sold exceeded two
billion feet and Is valued at more
than $3,715.OO0. During the same
period about 727 million feet were
cut and removed, for which the pur-
chasers paid s1.507.SO3 into the Fed
eral Treasury. The largest sales
were made in Oregon. where about
6S3 million board feet were disposed
of.
In addition to the timber sold, ap-
proximately 113 million board feet
valued at almost $4,000 was cut
under free use permit by more than
41,000 settlers living near the Ma
tional Forests and depending on the
Forests for firewood and building
material to improve their homesteads
The timber business on the East
as compared with the Western For
ests, showed a decided increase, the
report states. More than three times
as much timber was sold and more
than twice as much cut as in 1915.
The material disposed of. it is point
ed out. is largely of poor quality and
its removal will improve the forest
growth.

THE FARMER KNOWS \

There is no doubt hut that there VIII
DC food shortage in this country this
year; in fact, there is right now, as the
high prices indicate: and it Is our opin-
ion that the farmer who raises enough
foodstutfs for his family and stock. and
some besides, will be on top next year.
However, we thinl; there are too many
folks around towns and cities, who are
doing nothing themselves to relieve the
situation, trying to tell the farmers
Just what they ought to plant and just
how to run the farm.
For our part we are willing to leave
the food situation in the hands Of our
intelligent farmers who, understanding
the situation, will look il squa' in the
face and do what they think b. It about
it,
We believe it our duty to call tho at
.cntion Of our farmers to the serious
lcss Of the situation and leave the rest
o them. We take it for granted that
he average farmer is just as patriotic
IS We arc. and we trust the farmer.

reduced in price at this critical time
Anything which is worth the price will

there is something wrong with anything

LOUISIANA 10000 SHORT OF
ESTIMATE.

Baton Rouge, June 12.-With
total estimated registration of
l3I ,o2I men between the ages of
u and 81 as against 111.OOO as
estimated for Louisiana by the
War Department through the
census bureau, it is seen that the
state fell short Of expectations by
nearly 10000.
The total white registration as
indicated by the reports to the
Governor compiled by the adj
jutant generals office is SS,11O
with a total exemption or indicat-
ed exemption of 56.023. The total
negro registration is $685., with
an exemption indicated of 81
$50. Alien friends number 1856
in the state while 216 are CLASH
fled as alien enemies.
The cause of Louisiana 5 falling
below the War Departments esti-
nation is probably due to the fact
that it was based on the census
of 1910. The entrance Of the boil
Weevil in many Of the cotton par
ishes has caused q considerable
loss in population in those par
lshes since that time.
