Feeding the home folks" will
soon be a predetermined, even
now is confronting Louisiana and
the South. The Government will
look after the enlisted men-but
the great masses, those who must
remain at home and the depend
ant families Of the men on duty.
must be fed. The coils OF high
prices are drawing tighter and
tighter; ear shortage. wheat crop
failures and shortage of farm
labor add to the seriousness of
the situation. The question is,
who will perform this duty? The
Agricultural Department at
Washington has agents allover the
country working among the poo-
pie on this problem. urging the
planting of food products, warn
ing against the impending dam
gers of food scarcity, and our peo-
pie cannon too soon take this mat
ter most seriously. Plant food
crops; plant the gardens and
truck patches everywhere, should
be the slogan. The millions Of
acres of idle lands in this State
should be planted to food crops in
order to avert stark-naked want
this fall and winter. This is no
idle talk. but reality now on us.
Who will do these things? You,
me and al the people, must be
the answer.

MILITARY TRAINING AND
BACK YARD GARDENING

So many of our readers are
imbued with the idea that Pre-
paredness is simply matter of
military training and guns and
ammunition, that they lose sight
of the fact that the raising of
food stuff is equally, and if needs
be, far more important if this war
is to be brought to a successful
termination on the part of the
United States. 1t is a well known
fact that food supplies are short
in this country as well as those
in which we are allied, and unless
the farmers of the South as we'll
as the entire United States do
their part and that quickly, real
suffering will soon be apparent
in many sections of the country.
It should be borne in mind that
the man who raises food prod Gets
helps in vital way in amcliorlt-
ing conditions of that nature and
he is providing the first requisites
towards caring for the military
who has to 60 to the front.
In this respect those Who can
not go to the training camps,
could, and in fact should lend
their best efforts towards seeing
every idle piece of land intensively
cultivated. Even if one grows
only enough vegetables to sup
ply his own needs, he at least
shows an inclination to prevent
the depletion of general stocks.
At the same time it will tend to
prevent fictitious values on food
stuff until the time comes when
the Government will step in md
remedy the conditions that af-
ford the Spectator a chance to
rob the public.
1t is also well to remember
that even every turnrow that now
is left untouched by the farmers
pillow could add materially to adj
{ tional food stuff. and in that res
neet the people would not suffer
for want of the neeessarieS of
life, nor would the armies feel
the pinch of seant rations at any
time during the duration of the
war in which we have become in
volved.
With plenty of labor in this
section, back yard gardens should

THE LEVEES.

From what we learn in con
junction with Presidents Of other
Police Juries within the Atehaf
alava Basin District, Hon. \. \.
Theriot is cXcrting his best ef-
forts to see that protection IS al
forded the leyees during the com
ing high water from fanatics
whose decisions might lead chem
to believe that the inundation OF
areas of cultivated lands, and the
consequent Interruptions of rell-
road traffic would be benefit to
the enemies of the United States.
In this respect it IS we'll that all
the Police .Juries in the State
make appropriations towards
having the levees in Louisiana
guarded day and night At the
present time the water has al
most reach the top of the banks
of the levees in many places and
thousands upon thousands OF
acres of farm products would be
destroyed were the leyees lamp
cred with. 1t is well that steps
be taken at once to guard against
such incidents of this nature
before too late. and we trust Mr.,
Theriot will succeed in getting
the assistance of all interested eli
ficials who should look after these
important matters.
On April 10th, Mr.. Therlot re
ceived the following resolutions
anent the situation, which he
handed to us for publication and
of which we reproduce in part:

ria, La.
At a largely attended Mass
Meeting held at Port Allen this
day for the purpose Of arranging
for the protection OF the leVees
on the river front, it was unan-
imouslv agreed that to secure the
proper cooperation of all the
parishes in the district, the I'M
lersigned committee be appoint
ed. We earnestly urge the APP
continent of like committee
from your parish and from every
other parish in the district to Ell
feet an organization to be known
as the Atchafalaya Basin District
Levee Protection Association. We
believe that fund of Twenty
Thousand Dollars will be required
and believe that this amount
should be apportioned as follows:
Atchafalaya BASIN District Board
$40, 900; Police Jury of the parish
of Iberville 81 900; Police Jury OF
Parish of West Baton Rouge,
81 900; Point Coupee $1,000; Ter
rebonne $4,000; St. Mary $4,000;
Lafourche $500; Assumption
$500; Ascension 5000; Iberia
5000: ST. Martin 5000. During
flood seasons in the past we have
had to contend against the forces
of nature only but under present
contingencies may
arise which require the most
prompt and forceful measures
and we must be prepared. The
water now in the lower Atchafa-
lava river is with a few inches
of the highest point reached dur
ing the flood season OF 1916 when
breaks supposed cutting) few
miles below Melville. reduced the
flood level during the balance OF
the season. Kindly advise your
action in this matter with the
lease possible delay.

tWenty-three additional young
men have also volunteered their
services to the Government to
serve as soldiers in the Company
being formed by Messrs. Thomas
Jones and Perry J. Burke. This
makes the number ninety-tWo and
the prospects are very bright for
sufficient men to run the enroll

twenty-five that it is necessary to
secure before they will be taken
over by the Government. The
probabilities are that out Of this

"
 The House Wednesday after noon passed bills to provide for the acceptance of Federal Aid for good roads, and to create a bonded warehouse system for the benefit of the farmers. The Governor sent special messages to the House on both subjects. Strenous efforts were made by Representatives Holloway, Wag- goner, and others to amend the good road bill, but all amend emnts were rejected, and the bill passed without change. It ap- propriates the sum of $496, 134.- 50 out of the fund that is to be accumulated through the auto mobile tax, for the purpose of meeting the requirments of the good roads bill passed by Con- gress. During the next five years, the state will receive from the federal government the sum Iof $1,250,000 for road work. There were only six votes a. gainst the warehouse bill.

 steady accumulation of
 tions of American rights by Ge1 many makes it appear possible that President Wilson will go be- fore Congress to ask authority for further protecting lives and property without waiting for a serious disaster which might shock the country. There are no indications that he believes it is time for such step.
 Reports of the sinking of the American schooner Lyman M. Law in the Mediterranean by an Australian submarine added only slightly to the tension be- cause, while the act is believed to have been illegal, no lives were lost and the vessel ap- parently was warned. The in- cident is not looked upon as suf- ficient to hurry the develop ment.
 Preliminary repots show the piling up about the Atlantic sea- board of goods destined for ex- port to European ports.
 PREPARATIONS CONTINUE
 Preparations by the govern ment continue. Much import enee is attached to the work of the Council for National De- fense, which is holding daily sessions.
 It is possible the American government may take no steps to furnish arms to American ships until the president goes before Congress. While the State Department holds that the government has the right to furnish the guns, other questions have arisen which make the sit uation more complex. The great est is the determination of the president to do nothing which might give Germany any ex- cuse to place upon the United States responsibility for any trouble that may follow.
 Consul Treadway at Rome forwarded dispatches today showing that the schooner Law was sunk by "an Austrian sub- marine without flag" apparent ly by placing a bomb aboard after the vessel had been stop ped. The reports indicate that the vessel was illegally sunk, as her cargo of lumber is not con- sidered contraband by this gov ernment and that the recogniz- ed rule of the sea that war craft must show it's flag before hostile action was violated.

Trtding was brisker than yesterday,
with prices generally higher under the

pushed for rise by pool operators.
But as the session advanced business
dropped like a willing plant and inter
est shifted from the floor of the ex-
change to the petition which was be-
ing circulated to close the exchange on
Saturday next, because of heat. United
States Steel advanced to nearly 126 in
the forenoon and held it. The other
steel shares made corresponding gains.
Distillers' securities gained two points
and Industrial Ai(eohol nearly three
points.
