The Louisiana Sugar Crop.

The Louisiana sugar crop OF
1916, according to final reports
just returned by the factories to
the Bureau of Crop Estimates Of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, was 6O7,SOO,OOO
pounds, as compared with 2 49,
100000 pounds in 1915, an in
crease of 1872, 100000.
The cane crushed for sugar in
1916 was 4,O72,OOO short tons, and
the average yield of cane per acre
was eighteen tons. The average
in 1915 was eleven tons per acre,
and 2,OlS,OOO tons were crushed
for sugar.
The molasses resulting from the
1916 sugar amounted to rs, I'D, 600
gallons, AZ compared with 12,743,-
600 gallons in 1915. These figures
do not include cane syrup, which
is made directly from cane juice,
molasses being a by-product Of
sugar.
In January, 1917, the bureau
estimated the Louisiana sugar
crop would Approximate 3O4, zoe
short tons. The actual figures re.
turned by the sugar factories al
the conclusion of the grinding sea.
son indicated that 303, 800 short
tons had been made. Cane to be
ground for sugar was estimated a,
4,172,OOO short tons, and the final
returns show that 4,072,OOO short
tons were used for sugar.

LABOR SAVING DEVICES
FOR THE FARM HOME

Insxpensiv and Practical Appliances
That Simplify Home Management.
Labor may be lightened and time
saved in the farm home by the use Of
simple labor-saving devices. which can
be made with an expenditure of bat
little time and money" says Miss
Alice 8. Hickman Of the Extension
Division, Louisiana State University.
1.-THE fireless cooker, iceless refrise.
rator, roilertra wagon. and scrubb4ng
chariot are not unnecessary Injuries,
but are practical appliances for the
use and comfort of the homemaker.
These are but few Of the posstbih-
ties which may make homo manage
ment on the farm an interesting prob
lem instead of merely a daily round
Of tiresome and dish eartening work.
Progressive farmers Of today are
learning how to lessen labor for
themselves and decrease its cost The
women are closely following this mod
ern idea. They cannot. however.
solve the allabsorbing problem of
home management unless the houses
are equipped with the labor-savinG
conveniences. They cannot work
without tools. When once they are
awakened to their opportunities. how
ever, home management will keep
pace with farm management and even
business management"

SIMPLE CARE.

There need be no alarm about
war. There is no more to trouble
and worry ourselves now than
there was before we were in
an actual state OF war. 1t is
natural that all able bodied men
with no dependents or responsible
lities should be called to the colors
first. 1t is but proper We make
full readiness. With it all how
ever, there is no reason to worry
or be alarmed. Business has no
legal right to be frightened. and
industries, above all else, should
not permit the prevailing condi-
tons to deter them in the least.
All the industries of the country
will be justified in running full
force and all the time. There is
no industry that need hesitate or
curtails its production, the fact is
to do so would not only be coward
ice but false economy. Every
thing this country can produce
will find a ready market. 1t is
tho dutv IF averv citizen tn nro-
duce in every manner possible all
he is capable of producing as a
part of the service he owes his
country and mankind in general.
Let US therefore keep on in our
usual ways, lend the maximum of
our assistance and efforts in every
manner possible.-The Thibodaux
Commercial Journal.

DEMONSTRATION METHODS
INCREASE CROP YIELDS
Agents Render Good ServIce-Diversi-
hoation Practioed-Much Improve
ment in Live Stock.

Louisiana farmers who followed
demonstration methods In 1916 made
much larger crop yields per acre
than the average yields for the CO.
tire state. They haye put into prac-
uoe improved farming methods that
will be Of lasting benefit, such as the
field selection OF seed and the rota-
ton of crops
The farm demonstration agents
have been instrumental, also. in
creating interest in the growing Of
the smaller crop throughout the state,
such rs lespedesa, the clovers, vstch,
sorghum, cowpeas. soybeans, velvet
beans, peanuts. sweet potatoes, Irish
potatoes. fruits and vegetables. They
have given instruction in soil inocu-
lation, terracing, preventing and
treating. animal and plant diseases,
spraying orchards, and various other
practices that benefit the farmer.
Their influence has brought about
much improvement IN the grade of
livestock in the parishes where they
are employed; large numbers Of pure
bred animals for breeding purposes
having been purchased by farmers
upOn the agents recommendation
Other activities Of the agents have
TO do with the building Of dipping
watts and silos; encouraging the use
Of improved farming implements; vac
eination and sanitation among live
stock; and finding markets for the
various farm priducts.
Louisiana now has forty-two white
demonstration agents employed in
forty-three parishes, and four negro
agents working among people Of their
own race.
