WHY NOT YOUR SUMNER VA.
CATION ON ELK RIVER

AS to the superlative scenic glory
of the Ozarks, there can be no two
opinions. Bayard Taylor declared that
he had encircled the globe only to
find the most beautiful scenery in
the world in Southern Missouri and
Northern Arkansas. 1t is the kind of
scenery that welcomes you right into
its family circle and envelops you in
a cordial embrace. 1t is Nature wear
ing a serene and genial smile, rather
than a gloomy and forbidding scowl.
Every year there is marked in
crease in the number Of family camps
established in the Ozarks along the
Kansas City Southern Railway, and
it is noticeable that when a family
once has taken such a vacation, that
family is certain to return next year
usually with family or two Of
friends or neighbors.
And finally, feature Of the Ozark
region that should clinch the argu-
ment in making a choice of outing
spots, is its accessibility. Instead Of
enduring a hot, tiresome ride of IS
to 36 hours, the recreation seeker can
leave Lake Charles after lunch today
and be in the Ozarks in time for an
early breakfast tomorrow. By way Of
the Kansas City Southern, in per-
fectly equipped luxuriously comfort
able train, he is whisked, without
change, to the land of his desires.
From wake-up time in the morning
until the return of nightfall, if he
should remain on the train, he will
pass through a constant succession of
enticing spots, each with some special
charm of its own that becokns him to
a closer acquaintance

Ozarks" apply to our nearest repre-

LOUISIANA GROWS ONLY
ONE-HALF CORN NEEDED
imperative That Acreage BE lnereas-
ed-Most Important Food Crop IN
state-PIant Standard Varieties.

Corn Is the most important 1000
crop grown in Louisiana and amounts
to about fortymillion bushels year
This great amount however, is only
about one-half Of the corn and corn
products required to meet the neeus
Of the state. 1t is imperative, there
fore, that the acreage planted to this
crop be greatly increased.
AS a rule, it is not advisable 70
plant corn on poor land, but under ex'
listing conditions Of great need for
increased food production, corn should
be planted on tho poorest grade OK
land a. we'll as on the best, and
crop Of velvet beans should be grown
with the corn TO help make 1t proflt'
able.
The season for planting corn Will
last until about the first Of July. IL
is recommended that the native va
rietiss, such as Calhoun Red Cob, SEN
tells White Dent, Hastings Proiilc,
Mosby's Prolific, ETC., be planted up
to the first OF June, after which some
Of the earlier maturing types, such a.
IAgunA and Dwarf Mexican June
should be planted.
Corn is a crop that - greatly IN
fuenced by soil and By rainfall dur
ing the growing season. The only
thing that a farmer can do to over.
come these difficulties is to prepare
tho soil thoroughly and give the corn

TABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Hatehsd and Reared
At Any TIme-FOeds For Fat
tenlne Fowls.

The production Of table poultry Ia a
means by which many individuals can
do a great deal toward averting the
threatened meat shortage.
Table poultry is produced largely
as a by-product from hocks where egg
production is the main object. Al
though early spring matches are nee
essary to produce good fall and win
ter layers, chickens for table use can
be profitably Matched and reared at al
most any time Of year.
Keep the growing chicks comforta-
Bile at all times. This is the only
method that will give the best results.
A chick once checked, Or stunted, dur.
ing It's growing period will never
make as good development as the
chick which is kept growing steadily
at its normal rate.
Chicks that are Matched during the
hotter portions Of the year should be
provided with ample shade, clean and
cool water, and fresh, succulent green
feed. The very young chick cannot
stand as much exposure to the hot
sun as can the earlier hstched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhede Island Red, Orpington, etc, are
best suited for table poultry produc.
ton. The cockerels from these breeds
may be caponized when they weigh q
pound and half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to tho
six or eight pound stage. or even
larger.
The light, active breeds, such a.
Leghorns and the Creole" can be
used proftably for the production Of
broilers or small fryors. Owing TO
their nervous, active disposition they
increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to tive
and half pound stage, and II is rare
ly profitable TO keep them beyond that
point.
From a standpoint 81 economy, poul-
try Is not ready for consumption until
It has been .fattened, or finished"
The finishing should be done by the
grower. A simple method is to con-
fine the birds to a small yard for about
two weeks and feed them On corn
chops soaked in sour skinned milk,
giving three feeds 4 day and ali they
will eat. Where milk 10 not obtaina-
hle, the following may usually be sub.
Ftituted with satisfactory results:
Wheat bran, I part; cottonseed meal,

PLANT VELVET BEANS

Velvet beans should be planted In
every row Of corn and every effort
made to grow a maximum crop. For
providing feed for animals that may
be utilized in winter and for improv-
ing the soil it is unsurpassed. The
