Chickens and War.

Before another Matching season, the
great United States will, no doubt,
be in the deepest throes of the world s
most cruel war and no one can fortell
the countless thousands that may be
crying for bread. 1t is up tos the
United States, the worlds greatest,
richest, and most resourceful nation,
to not only look after the welfare of
her own citizens, but to give aid and
assistance in supplying food to count
less thousands of suffering humanity
in the torn and stricken war zone.
The great agricultural resources of
America must prepare to assume this
burden. Every one of us must do our
bit. Every acre, every nook and cor.
ner must bear its share. 1t is lucky
that in poultry we can produce the
cheapest and most quickly produced
meat of all the various sources of
our meat supply. Here, we have an
opportunity Of producing an extra one
hundred million pounds if the Amer
ican farmers, the fanciers and breeders
will give their attention to Matching
during the months of May and June.
1t is a well known fact that the
available supply of meat products is
the lowest in our country, per capita,
in the history of the United States.
In order to meet the extremely dan
gerous condition, we have within our
selves wonderful opportunity of aid
ing what may prove to be world cry
for food. Let US all join enthusiast
ticslly in the propaganda of helping
in the probable time Of need, by
putting forth now every effort to
meet, in a measure, the demand that
is sure to come for untold quantities Of
food stuffs. Never in the history OF
the world will there be greater de-
mand than in the next twenty four
months that are to follow.
For the past twenty-four months
we have pee- killing the goose that
has been laying the golden egg, and
with the hue and cry of costly feed.
poultry and all meat products have
been soaring far above all the usual
estimates as to the relative cost of
production of eggs and poultry for
meat is far in excess of the percentage
in normal times. But aside from the
question of profit. we Americans
must look at the situation from a
philanthropic and humanitarian stand
point and each and every one do his
bit" to meet an exigency that seems
inevitable Let US all try to be a
factor in the production of an extra
hundred million pounds of poultry
meat which is less than one pound
additional for each man woman and
child in the United States.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued an esti
mate that upwards of seven hundred
millions of dollars is the annual trib-
ute paid by Americans to the garbage
can. Why not covert this into feed
to produce poultry and eggs.
Evry home can have self support
ing and profitable flock in the back
yard by converting the offal from the
table and kitchen into the very
chioest of poultry feed. Why such an
astounding waste, an utter extrayf.
gance that costs US nearly seven dol

Law so Amended that Farm
Lands Become Good
Security.

Now that the law has been reme-
d.ed so that secure loans may be
made in Louisiana, the St. Tammany
Parish Federal Farm Loan Associa-
tlOn has been organized in cOnformi-
ty to law, with the following officers
and directors: H. B. Pruden, presi-
dent; Geo. E. Edwards. vice presi-
dent; Louis NJ. Bourgeois, secretary;
G. K. Millar. Emile Thurman, Leon
Beaucoudray, appraisement cOmmss-
sioner.
The Association will be ready for
business Wednesday, August %.
While loans must be applied for
on the regular application blank,
which gives detailed account of
the land, whether level or rolling,
bottom or valley Land, whether SUBJ
ject to overflow, pasture and mead
ow, gravelly or rocky or sandy, kind
of su,bsoil, crops planted, fencing,
acres in cultivation, occupied, rent
ed or vacant, kind of wells, assess
ment, taxes, etc, encumbrances,
personal property, and quite a num-
ber of other things. In fact, the in
vestigation is complete. On the
other hand. while you may borrow
but half the value of the property,
II the money you wish to borrow 10
for permanent improvement or for
stock or machinery, the value of
these is added to the value of your
farm and forms a part of the securt-
ty on which you borrow. In other
words, If your farm is worth two
thousand dollars and you borrow one
thousand for permanent improve
ment or stock, ETC., the value of the
improvement or stock is added to
the two thousand dollars and you
can make your loan on three thous-
and dollars security, which gives
you fifteen hundred. THIS is as we
understand It; and as the interest lis
but 5 per cent, it is expected that
Louisiana farmers will he greatly
benefited by it, as working CAPT
tai may be secured at a cheap rate
of interest. Five per cent Of the
loan must be invested in stock of
the association.
After the loan is approved by the
local board. an appraiser will be
sent from the Federal Farm Lban
Bank to 60 over the report made
by the board here, and II satisfac-
tory the loan will be made. Those
who wish to make loans should get
in touch with Secretary Bourgeois.

POSTOFFICE IS IN

Receipts Being Over Ten
Thousand Dollars En-
titles Us To It.

At the meeting of the Association
OF Commerce, last Monday, the ques-
tion of accepting the proposition Of
he N. O. G. N. as to building new
depot was taken up. The matter
had been taken before the Ra ,lroad
Commission, but has never come up,
pending a conference between she
Association of Commerce and the
Railroad Company. 1t was thought
an agreement had been reached, but
the Company recently made re-
quest that the building of the de-
pot he delayed until after the war,
because of the greatly increased
price of material, agreeing It this
was done to put up a first-class de-
pot hen. 1t was decided to again
confer with the company with view
of getting a definite statement as to
what kind of depot would then
be put up, and to go thoroughly in
to the matter, although the plan
was not very heartily approved, as
there IS feeling that time enough
has elapsed without anything being
done
Postmaster Seller brought up the
matter of securing a government
building for the postoffice at Coving-
ton. He stated that the receipts
have gone beyond the ten thousand
dollars that entities us to one. Res
olutions were adopted asking an ap-
propriat on by congress for this pur-
