A MANS DRESSER DRAWERS.

Every once in a while a man takes
everything out of his dresser drawers
and decides to have things in neat or
der thereafter. He plans to have one
drawer for shirts and another one for
ties and socks and smaller things and
he considers that after one careful re-
arrangement things won't get so muss-
ed up anymore. He says, Always have
one small drawer for odds and ends"
In this drawer goes everything that
doesn't seem - belong anywhere else.
He usually Wakes this drawer out every
month or twoAand empties it on the
bed. There are no rare bugs or bean
shooters or frogs in it, but in many
other ways it resembles the first poe
kets of his youth. The passion for col
lecting odd trinkets is deeply rooted in
the male and when he has outgrown
the pocket age he has dresser draw
err for the purpose. This drawer Is a
fine place to look for the things you
have often seen around and can AL
ways find except when you want them
badly. Go home tonight and take yonr
forefinger and poke around in the
drawer for something. Ihe drawer
won't mind that There is nothing it
is so used to.

FABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Hatched and Reared
At Any Tlme-Foods For Fat
tenlne Fowls.

The production Of table poultry is a
means by which many individuals can
do a great deal toward avertinS the
threatened meat shortage,
Table poultry is produced largely
as by-product from focks 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 its 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 Matched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, Orpington, etc, are
best suited for table poultry produc.
| ton. The cockerels from these breeds
| may be caponized when they weigh a
pound and a half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to the
six or eight pound stage, or even
! larger.
The light, active breeds, such as
Leghorns and the "Creoie" can be
used proftably for the production Of
broilers or small fryers. Owing 10
their nervous, active disposition they
increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to two
and half pound stage, and it is rare
ly profitable to keep them beyond that
point.
From a standpoint Of economy, poul.
try is not ready for consumption until
1t has been fattened, or finished"
The finishing should be done by the
grower. A simple method is to con-
fine the birds to small yard for about
two weeks and feed them on corn
| chops soaked in sour skinned milk,
giving three feeds day and all they
will eat. Where milk is not obtaina-
tle, the following may usually be sub
stituted with satisfactory results:
Wheat bran, part; cottonseed meal,
4 parts; corn meal, 10 parts; and wa.
ter enough to make a mixture Of
creamy consistency.--A. r. Rolf, Live

LOUISIANA GROWS ONLY
ONE-HALF CORN NEEDED
Imperative That Acreage BE lncreaS-
ed-Most Important Food Crop m
State-Plant Standard Varieties

Corn is the most important food
crop grown in Louisiana and amounts
to about forty-millioa bushels year
This great amount, however, Is ON!
about one-half Of the corn and corn
products required to meet the needs
OF the state. It is imperative, there
fore, that the acreage planted TO TINS
crop be greatly increased.
As a rule, it is not advisable 10
plant corn on poor land, but under eA-
listing conditions OF great need toE
increased food production, corn should
be planted on the poorest grade OF
land as well as on the best, ana
crop Of velvet beans should be grown
with the corn TO help make IT profit
able.
The season for planting corn Will
last until about the first Of July. II
is recommended that the native va
rieties, such as Calhoun Red Cob, Sen
tells White Dent, Hastings Prolific,
Mosby's Prolific, etc, be planted up
10 the first of June, after which some
Of the earlier maturing types, such as
Laguna and Dwarf Mexican June
should be planted.
Corn is a crop that Is greatly In
fuenced by soil snd by rainfall dur
Ing the growing season. The only
thing that farmer can do TO over
come these difficulties is to prepare
tho soil thoroughly and give the corn
the best possible cultivation.-W. R.

SUGAR CANE.

this year is estimated at about p pc

to report made TO the Bureau of Gro,

average increase as shown in report
