NEW POULTRY AGENT.
Specialist to Help Louisiana Farmers
Increase Production.

John L. Prehn, specialist from the
federal department of animal industry
in Washington has been assigned to
Louisiana to give what assistance shes
can to farmers In solving their poultry
problems. This work will be done in
cooperation with the Extension Divi-
sion of the Louisiana State Univers-
ity, where his headquarters are To-
Gated.
Every few persons in this state or
in the country at large appreciate the
critical condition of the poultry in
dustry today" says Mr.. Prehn. 'sWith
focks in all sections being depleted
and many poultrymen going out of the
business because of the increased cost
of production, the country is facing a
shortage of poultry products which
may become serious if immediate
steps are not taken to remedy this
condition. 1t is necessary that every
poultry breeder realize his RESPONSE
bility at this time and respond to his
patriotic duty by endeavoring to in
crease the poultry production of the
state"
The plan of work that Mr.. Prehn
will carry on among the poultry rails
ers of the state will be announced
soon.

1NTERcoAsTAL CANAL ROUTE.
Amazing Lack of Interest on Part of
Bayou Lafourche People.

| The following comments on sub
ject of great Importance to the resi-
dents of the Lafourche valley are re-
produced from the Assumption
Pioneer and Thibodaux Commercial
Journal of Saturday last, and the
utterances contained therein should
serve to emphasize the necessity for
immediate action if the interests Of
this section are to be protected:
Fine Business.
Assumption Pioneer:
While it is a fact that the first and
only United States government sur
vey of the intercoastal canal connect
ing the Rio Grande and the Missis-
sippi is via Lake Verret, Cancienne
Canal and Bayou Lafourche to Dom
aldsonville, you hear constantly about
the route of the canal being via Nor
gan City to Houma, and thence to
New Orleans through privately owned
canals. Since the damming of Bayou
Lafourche it has been the idea that
the route ought to go to some other
point, because the levee boards will
never build the locks as they bound
themselves to do, and the United
States will not build them because the
said levee boards secured the tenn
porary damming of the Lafourche on
the promise that they would put in
locks. Fine business, and in the
meantime, no one who has the power
to help is willing to raise his hand in
protest.

PARKER's POWERFUL. PLEA.
Disloyalty a National Menace De-
manding Suppression.


In the course Of one of the number
of forcible speeches that John M.
Parker, Louisiana's patriotic food ad-
ministrator, has recently made on
subjects of pubic interest and I'M
portance, he gave utterance to the
following timely sentiments:
with the greatest admiration for
many of the splendid qualities of the
Germans as people, with firm con-
viction that vast number of the peo-
pie from that country are now as
loyal American citizens as can be
found, I feel that where we find a dis
loyal man, be he millionaire or labor
er, if he is a naturalized American
citizen and forgets his oath, he should
be prosecuted for perjury and sent to
the penitentiary for the limit allowed
by law.
''In this crisis there are no longer
German n-Americans. They are either
wholly Americans or else they come
under the heading Of enemy-alien,
and if they come under the latter
head, should be Immediately put
where by no possibility can they harm
America or American institutions.
We have too long been too easy and
too patient, with our liberality and
hospitality abused, with determined
effort to undermine American in
stitutions and to destroy those prin-
ciples of democracy which have made
this nation the haven Of refuge for
the oppressed from all over the world.
We should squarely face the fact
that every man has the right to de-
fend his home and his honor, and the
unwritten law the world over has
backed this effort. What higher hon
or or duty can men have than defend
ing our home, our nation and our
flag? With full realization of these
conditions and the inside knowledge
of the fact that discord and treacaery
are stalking through every state in the
nation, the time has come when the
southern states, representing as they
do the purest undefiled Americanisn
and loyalty, should set the example
to the other states that America is for
Americans, and that no treachery or
disloyalty will be permitted. We
should appeal to the national govern
ment to Immediately declare martial
law, as we are in the midst now of
the greatest war the world has ever
known. Our people scarcely realize
it. With this declaration of martial
law, the disloyal and treacherous
could be speedily separated from the
really true American. The enemy
aliens would be confined where they
could do no harm and made to be
self-supporting, and the spy, Wher-
ever found, would Immediately be
subject to the moose or face the firing
squad.
eve must pray as we fight against
the evil that is in Germany, that the
good which is in Germany may some
how prevail. We must face conditions
as we see them, fearlessly and patriot
ically. Every loyal American should
report any one working against the
government; every spy should
promptly receive full punishment.
The day of the soft and kindly word
has passed. The time for vigorous
action has arrived. American men
have never hesitated to face danger
or face grave emergency. God grant
we will prove equal to this crisis and
by vigorous action bring speedy peace
to bleeding world.
