To The Citizens Of Louisiana.

Dear Friends:
For quick, patriotic preparedness:
poultry, pigs, potatoes, pumpkins
peas and peanuts.
We appeal to you to give special
attention to more poultry. If
everyone will set only one more
hen and raise ten additional chick
ems. it will mean considerable in
meat and eggs. 1t can be done.
If everyone will raise just one or
two more pigs, it will mean consi-
derable meat increase.
If everyone will only increase
the potato acreage by one or two
acres, it will surely help.
If possible plant Porto Rico,
Dooley or Nancy Hall sweet pota-
toes. 1t don't cost any more to
grow yams' than it does to grow
inferior varieties.
Everyone should plant al least
one acre of blackeye, crowder or
whip poor will peas. They are
find when green and can be gath
cred and dried for winter useA :
Pumpkins can be planted in any
old place; fence corners, vacant
lots, etc. Pumpkins are good not
only for pies, out the dried pump
kins make splendid neal. Fifty
per cent pumpkin meal and fifty
per cent corn meal make excellent
corn bread. In fact it is lighter
than bread made of all corn meal,
ana really better than all corn
bread.
Peanuts are a fine crop for hui
man consumption, poultry and
pigs.
Everybody get busy and remem-
Der the eight P's: patriotism, pre-
paredness, poultry, pigs, potatoes,
peas. pumpkins and peanuts.

conditions showed practically no

weakness, and generally lower prices
resulted.

While the market was considered
fractionally easier in the cattle divisi-
on of the North Portland yards dur
ing the day. prices were practically
unchanged.
Receipts over night were small. and
top prices were not given a test be-
cause of the absence of this quality.
