devoted to these three crops in tho
last few years and the coming years
VIII no doubt see a still greater adj

One Of the most vital factors in
growing these crops is the variety Sc

been grown in Louisiana for num-
Der OF years. The AbruZzes is the
best known variety of rye for Louis

tatlons of California wheat have prov
ed to be all right in a few localities.
1t IS good plan to buy seed direct

surer of getting the variety desired
Wheat, rye and barley should weigh
90 pounds to the bushel. II is also
good plan to buy all seed on germi-
nation and purity tests. The Seed
Laboratory of the Experiment Sta
ton OF the Louisiana State University
Will make tests free of charge. The
seed should be thoroughly cleaned
with tanning mill before they are
soWn so as to remove all the light
ones and to break a number of the
awns so the seed will pass more read

FAN seeding is more profitable than
spring, hence one should try to get
the seed planted during the first two
weeks Of October in the northern half
or the state, while month later in
the southern part will usually be soon
enough. Seed beds should be firm,
but loose on the surface, which allows
the seeds to be easier and more even
ly covered, especially if sown broad
cast. However. il is better to use
the drill in seeding, as with it a

WILL CALL HALT
ON SPY ACTIVITIES.
PRESIDENT WILL ISSUE PROC
LAMATioN REQUIRING ALIEN r
ENEMIES TO REGISTER.
Plan for Sitting From the Million Ger
mans In america the Few Who Are
Believed to Have Caused Fires -,
In MunitIon Plants.

Washington President Wilson is
expected to issue proclamation soon
requiring every alien enemy within the
United States toi register, as Il step
toward Kidding the country of spies
and sabotage.
The country has virtually decided
that this procedure Is the only way
open for sitting from the million Ger
mans in the United States the few who
are believed to. be causing flres in mu-
milton plants, grain elevators and
warehouses and promoting propaganda
Injurious to Americas prosecution of
the war.
Attorney General Gregory took to
the cabinet meeting on Tuesday for
President Wilson'S. consideration
draft of regulations underawhich the
registration might be carried yout, fol.
lowing the program. adopted by Eng
land and France for keeping watch
over the activities of enemy. subjects.
The recent Increase in the number
of disastrous fires and Indications Of
renewed operations of enemy propa-,
gandists haye prompted officials to
consider more radical steps against
German residents than the restrictions
heretofore imposed barring them from
haif-mile zone about munition plants
and government property without spe-
cial government permits. IA /.
Under the proposed registration
plan, Germans would be given a speci-
ned time, probably. several weeks, In
which to report. their names, occupa-
lions, family or business connections
to postmasters or some other govern
ment agency. Those not registered
then would be rounded up and prose-
cuted, and officials believe that the
failure Of some to enroll would give
valuable clues to the identity of sus-
picious persons whose conduct and In
terests might be carefully scrutinized.

"Gosh," he said, ST didn't think it

So we went back and borrowed an

We carried 1t for an hour. In that
