English Newspaper Is Out Strong in Its Defense of Wilson
 for World Peace.
WILSON HAS BIG RIGHT
His Efforts, Says the Nation, Is Not Fully UnderStOod but
 Should Be.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Nation, re- terring 10 President Wilson's note, asking what the belligerent powers require for the conclusion of peace. takes the view that Mir. Wilson is exercising the rlgnt and performing the duty laid upon a neutral by the Hague convention and says that his communication has been stupidly re- ceived by the British press. Presl- dent Wilson knows enough of his tory and of human nature not to be discouraged by the fact that his ef- forts to do the belligerents a good turn has been misunderstood by one side and evaded by the other, the Nation adds:
 Tt is open to the critics of the uote." the Nation continues, ito say , it Is inopportune or obscure, but it Is impossible for them to deny that behind the note lies the greatest ma terial force that war has left stand ing. They may find it harder to realize the entirely reassuring truth that this power is now formally en. listed to secure the worlds deepest need
 When a prairie fire is raging, e planter has the right and duty to look to his own homestead. A con- flagrNtlon enveloping human society Is not domestic broil, as, with all ] its indirect consequences to mankind, was the American Civil War. The war is Q flame which daily devours or detcriorates the worlds stock of labor, food, raw materials and imple- ments of industry, including. Ameri- cas- share of these necessities, while at least one of its possible and even early developments threatens her peace.
 But we do sCant courtesy to Mir. Wilson's presentment if we treat 1t as a piece of national egotism and leave out from its measured sen tence the reasoned passion for hu- man welfare"
 The Nation. carefully analysing the note, declares that it is complete ly devoid of offense to the Entente Allies, and proceeds to argue that If Germany is willing to abandon the ideG of mastering Europe and will drop desires Of anncXatiOnS and eX- plOtations and take her place in the society of nations, the basis Presi- dent Wilson seeks for peace has been found.
 The article thinks that the En- tente Allies can have no quarrel with note seeking 10 end an inter- minablc war. which might tempt the Allies to commit themselves to pun ishment of Germany, not maybe, | exceeding her deserts, but well in advance of what they have the power to inflict. without calling down an equally heavy penalty on their own heads.
 'If there is a force behind Presi- dent Wilson," the Nation concludes, to arrest the war at the point Of security and fix it there, the govern ments may not know what to say to it. but millions of fathers and mothers will call it blessed"

Louisiana farmers who followed
demonstration methods in 1916 made
much larger crop yields per acre
than the average yields for the en-.

tlce improved farming methods that
will be of lasting benefit, such as the
field selection of seed and the rota-

The farm demonstration agents
have been instrumental, also, in
creating interest in the growing Of
the smaller crop throughout the state,
such as lespedeza, the clovers, vetch,
sorghum, cowpeas, soybeans, velvet
beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes, fruits and vegetables. They
have given instruction in soil inocr!-

terests, in a LITTER from Washing
ton this week makes suggestions
which, it would seem to US if
carried out will be bound to re-
suit in great gool at this critical
period.
The dry kiln for sweet potatoes
should receive every farmers
consideration this season. The
fact thet one-fourth of the pota-
toes banked heretofore have not
been fit for table use hasn't
seemed to matter much as the
faulty ones were fed to the hogs
and even the loss of a few hogs
from this cause didn't count much
either, but it is the aim of the
American people this year not to
lose anything, so let's nse every
effort to produce an amount
and then preserve 1t all SO as to
get the greatest good.

Mrs. j. Vol Brock, Editor, Era
Leader, Franklinton, La.
Dear Mrs. Brock:
I cannot toe
strongly urge upon you the i'm
portance ofimpressing upon oul
people the necessity of raising
feed crops this year. Feed of
all kinds is high now. and unless
all indications are at fault, will
go much higher in the near fu-
ture.
Every available acre should be
planted in corn, cane, beans
sweet potatoes, etc. We should
prepare to feed not only our
selves (this is absolutely necess-
ary,) but we should raise a sur.
plus, which others will need and
will gladly buy. Grain of all
kinds is higher than it has ever
been, and meats are almost out
of reach.
Every community should put
up a dry klln, In oruer to pre-
serve the sweet potato crop

R1nID UP POULTRY FLOCK
RY CAREFUL BREEDING.

efficiency Of the farm poultry 1loch do
the old method of indiscrimlnats
breeding from every bird kept on the
farm. Mass breeding means rapid ae-
teriwation; proper selection means
Improvement.
Every poultry raiser should provide
means for keeping a small pen OF Sc
lected birds separate from the remain
der of the flock during the breeding
season. Where separate house and
ward is not available, this can be ac'
complished by putting a temporary
partition in the roosting house ana
nroviding a wire.enclosed yard out
side.
The prime essential of a good breed
ing bird is vigor and vitality. When
the chicks are first hatched, one Will
often notice some which are smaller
than the rest; chicks which DO not
"dry off" well; chicks which show a
protruding abdomen, or chicks when
show other abnormal characteristics
Many of the chicks will apparently
overcome these troubles, and they will
be quickly forgotten unless some
means is taken to mark them so they
can be readily identified at any time.
All of these defects point to a weak
constitution, and mean that such
chicks should never be used for breed,
ing parposes, no matter how strong
they may look later. Perhaps the SAT,
est way to mark such chicks is by
cutting off one of the middle toes
Perform this operation with sharp
knife or pair of scissors, making the
cut right at one of the toe-joints. In
this way it will cause the bird very
little pain or inconvenience. The time
to do this is just as soon as any de-
feet is noticed, such as those mention
ed, which points to weak vitality.
While the young chicks are grow
ing there will occasionally be seen g
bird which is sick, which is not feath
ering out properly, which does moi
grow as rapidly as others from the
same hatch, or which shows some 9th
er weakness. Just as soon as any o1
these points are noticed, mark thai
chicken. If this practice of markips
the weak chicks is rigidly followed
from time of hatch to maturity, and
even after maturity, one will know
that all birds not having the mark are
those which have never shown indi
cations of weakened vitality. They
are the cream of the flock"
The strongest of the unmarked
birds should then be selected. The
vigorous, healthy bird will show large
bone, a comparatively short stout
head and beak, bright, full eye, a
firm, red comb, wide back, a full
deep breast, a glossy, close-fitting coat
Of feathers. and straight legs, set well
apart. Discard the birds which dc
not show allthese points OF vigor
Then, from the remainder, select those
which show suitable color and shape
Remember, mass breeding means
rapid deterioration, and proper selec
ton means Improvement F. Rolf
