PATRIOTIC DUTY OF

1t is the patriotic duty Of every
farmer in the United States to
plant and cultivate as large food
crops as possible this year, be-
cause the welfare of the country
depends upon their production,
but it is just as much the duty of
others not to ship these supplies
out Of the country. They are all
needed at home and should be
kept here.
1t is not the duty of the farmers
to furnish others with these ne
cessities for speculation and ex-
portation. No patriot will take
advantage of the necessities of his
fellow citizens and his govern
ment for such speculation. He
who does such a thing has no room
in his heart for any such noble

PAPER SHOULD APPEAL
TO READERS ON FARM

A good country weekly that
makes its news, editorials, and
advertisements interesting and
helpful to the members Of the
community in which it is pub
lished, will have no difficulty in
making its influence felt and in
succeeding financially. A paper
that appeals to every member of
every family will never lack sub
scribers.
The country publishers first
task is to analyze his circulation
to determine what proportion of
his subscribers live in town and
what proportion in the, country.
Then he should give each class Of
readers a proportionate amount
of news of primary interest to
them. It is easy to forget the
half or two thirds that live on
farms and to edit a paper pri-
marily for the one half or one
third that live in the town-Wil-
lard G. Bleyer.

MILITARY EXPERT WARNS
U. S. NOT TO SEND
GREEN MEN.

London, April 10.-The Times
military correspondent, discussing
American participation in the war
heartily indorses the apparent in
tention of the American govern
ment to use the regular army and
the National Guard as a nucleus
for the formation Of national
army. He recalls what serious
disadvantage it was to Great Bri-
tain to be compelled to throw her
regular forces into the fighting
line in 1914 because of France s
urgent need Of help.
eff the United States" he
says, "cares to send a regiment
or two to London or Rome, to
affirm the solidarity of the Allied
cause, it would be graceful and
rightly-appreciated action. But
this war is very serious business,
and for the national army which
America proposes to create the
whole Of her existing professional
cadre is little enough. We shall
not misunderstood American ac-
ton in the least if we have to wait
some months until her first divi-
sions, well equipped and thor
oughly trained, make their APP
pearance in France.
chastity formed and unframed
levies are useless. Our
new armies in 1914 took nine
months in forming before the first
division had arrived in France,
and this division took three
months more to harden in trench
warfare before it could safely en-
gage in a great attack. America
may be able to curtail these pc
riods and send over a few divi-
sions this autumn, but it will
hardly be this year that America
is adequately represented on the
battlefield. Germany reckoned
on this delay when she deliberate
lv preferred the hostility of the
United States to abandonment of
ruthless submarine warfare"
The writer emphasizes the ne
cessity of systematic training of
officers. and points out that the
experience of the Allies has been
this is best done at the seat Of war.
He continues:
every facility will certainly
be accorded by the Allies if
America takes this hint from our

THE FARMER BOY AND THE
CLUB MEMBER.

A farmer boy works ten hours
a day, plows and cuItivates the
earth, feels no sense of ownership,
has neither heart nor head inter
est in his work. That's druid
gerry.
A farmer boy gets up early in
the morning, works all day, has
no partnership with his father, no
chance Of recreation, is denied
club fellowship, has no ownership
in COWS and animals such as corn,
baby beef, pigs, or poultry, that S
tough.
A club member takes a few
grains Of seed, manages them
through soil environment, insect
and plant diseases, and produces
vegetables, net profits that win
the prize at the club festival or
the State Fair. That S skill.
A club leader writes a few
pages Of instruction on worthless
pieces of paper, puts them into
the hands Of a club boy, and thus
guides him to a business profit of
$50 in a single season. That's a
good investment.
A club member may take an idle
piece Of soil, invest it with 80
cents worth of seed, a dollars
worth of fertilizer, and a few
hours of brain and Drawn, and
make a profit of $50 That's
caDital born of achievement.
Fathers and mothers maintain
active membership in lodges,
clubs, associations, societies.
guilds, smokers, and unisons, but
fail to see the need of encourag-
ing club work for boys and girls.
That's unfair.
To give boys and girls manly
and wOmanly jobs, membership in
club Of their own, feeling of
ownership, an opportunity to do
things, a real motive for study
and achievement, feeling OF
liability; in short, a cooperative
interest in the whole business OF
home making and farming.
That's common sense.-O. 7. Ben

The prospect for active co-ope
ration by the United States wal
vessels with the fleets of the AL
lies, which inference was con
tanned in an announcement from
Washington received in New Or
leans today, has caused a rush OF
recruits to the Navy Recruiting
Station at New Orleans.
During the past three days hun
dreds of recruits have applied for
enlistment in the Navy. The re-
cruits that were able to pass the
physical and mental examinations
were sent to the training statl rs
and when they have finished their
course Of training they will be
sent to the various ships or shore
stations for duty.
Louisiana has been called upon
by the Navy Department to fur
nish 500 men before April 20.
Recruiting parties, under the di-
rection of Lieut.. S. NJ. LaBounty
in charge Of the main recruiting
station at New Orleans, are at
work throughout the state s0llc-
iting recruits.
The recruiting officers are not
urging men to join the Navy for
patriotic reasons alone, but they
are being told of the many OPP
portunities the NAVY offers to
young men of the right sort. In
a recruiting circular recently is
sued by the recruiting officer, the
following statements are made
concerning service and life in the
Navy:

SAYS SUGAR LAND ARE NOT
BEARING BURDEN OF
TAXES.

l.. E. Thomas. chairman Of the
Board Of State Affairs. has issued
a statement cOntradicting reports
that the sugar lands Of LOulslna
were bearing the burden Of taxa
stion in this state. The total as
sessments of the state, according
to figures which he says he has
carefully compiled from the last
assessment reports of all parishes
in Louisiana, is $685., 237 $40. OF
this amount the agricultural lands
of the state are assessed for less
than ten per cent Of the total.
Part Of his statement follows:
"I would further call attention
to the fact that in 1911 the sugar
lands were assessed for 80, 1916,
SS2, whereas in 1916 they were
assessed at IS, 466, 900, or a de-
crease in assessment in five years
amounting to 81, 429.9SS. The
cotton lands Of this state aggre-
gate 1915, $50 acres, carrying an
assessment Of $21 ,416, Ol6, or prac-
t;cally three and three -fourths
per cent. Corn lands show 1884,
259 acres at a value of 80, :,ll,9al
or practically one and one-half per
cent. The rice lands, 81 ,""2
acres, which totals So, sos. 10, or
a little less than one per cent.
"From the above you viii see
that the total assessed acreage of
agricultural lands, including all
improvements, in this state
amounts to approximately tell per
cent of the total assessment of
Louisiana, or very small pro
portion thereof.
A reasonably correct state
ment of the agricultural lands
follows:
Av. Gross Per
Asst. Prod. Acre
Per acre 1915 1916
Hill lands 1859 $1,000 $4,000
Alluvial cotton
lands 1927 21.0O $500
Alluvial sugar
lands 1926 $500 5000
Rice lands 9.22 5000 $500
81 know the above figures are
absolutely correct, insofar as the
assessed value for 1916 is con-
cerned, because they are taken
from official sources. | have esti-
mated reasonable amount as the
gross production value for 1915
and 1916 from information re-
ceived from all classes Of plant
,ers during the past wear.
"The values may be just a lit
tie full, but not on any one com
modify more than another, and I
leave it to anv fair-minded. I'M
prejudiced citizen if the figures
are not approximately correct and
the ratio of assessment is not dis
prOportionate to the average pro-
duction.
