Food Products Will
Win The War

"The war will not he won by the
last 100000 fighting men, but by
the last 100000 bushels of wheat"
A European statesman made the
prophecy and Mr.. Hoover, Ameri-
cas- food administrator, declares
that the United States must fur
nish that "last 100000 bushels"
Louisiana farmers are not expec-
ted to raise much wheat but they
are expected to raise as much as
possible of other food crops that
are better adapted to our climate
and soil conditions Every bushel
of corn, soy beans, velvet beans, cow
peas, potatoes, rice, oats, barley,
rye, ETC., produced in Louisiana
will have the effect of releasing a
certain amount of wheat for use
elsewhere.-L.S.U. Press Bulletin.

Heat Kills Many Hogs
In Summer.

Many hogs die from the effects
of heat during the summer months.
If there is no natural shade in the
pasture places should be provided
where the hogs can get relief from
the heat. A cheap and practical
plan is to build sheds with roofs of
poles covered with straw and sup
ported by posts. This will permit
the free circulation of air, and if the
water supply is near will enable the
hogs to pass the hot weather sea-
son safely.-L.S. L. Press Bulletin

One of the causes of the failure
of local enterprise is the failure on
the part of many people to com,
prehend that whatever Injuries any
business in a community reflects
injuries upon the people of that
community. Home enterprises
should be Loyalty supported by
home people. 1t is too often the
case that a business that is of in
calculable benefit for a locality is
hampered or ruined through jea-
lousies. Some people are SO con-
stituted that they cannot endure to
see an acquaintance fairly prosper
Gus, while they are perfectly will
ing to contribute to the prosperity
of stranger. The person who
makes his money here and spends
it elsewhere need not be surprised
to find that others initiate his ex-
ample, and that in the course of
events, crashes result, which
throws him out of employment OF
entail severe losses in other ways.
Loyalty to home and home inter
ests is essential to the prosperity
Of any community. - Marksville

To Plan Linking Rivers.

Lafayette, La, July %. - The
Hunter Canal Company of Crow
ley has employed Major White, an
experienced civil engineer, to make
a survey of the proposed connec-
ton between the Atchafalaya river
and the Vermillion, in order to
secure permanent source of sup
ply of fresh water for the vast
fields of rice in that section. Ma
jor White passed through Lafay-
cite yesterday and is now examin-
ing conditions about the headwa-
tiers of the Vermillion river, preli-
minary to his regular survey.
AS at present outlined the plan
contempletes opening connection
from the Atchafalaya to Bayou
Courtableau, thence to the Teche
to Bayou Fuselier, and thence tc
the Vermillion near St. Claire
The distance Of this route is com.
paratively short, requiring more
clearing away of obstruction than
dredging and affording a paturaI
foil IF TON RI f,ffaan foot
After reaching the Vermillior
the water would have free course
in its deep channel and be conduc.
ted to points below where it could
be lifted into the Hunter Cana
and Bayou Queu de Tortue, flood

section.
