La. Planter.
The auspicious weather that we
have been having for so many weeks
has benefited the cane crop every
where throughout the state. The cool
September days, or rather the cool
nights that have now come upon US,
will have the eeffct of checking the
growth of the cane and rather of
ripening it. Those in attendance at
the great sugar convention in New
Orleans this week, report generally
that the situation in the country is
excellent. The present week is ideal
for harvesting hay and corn for

herself this season, although not yet
reaching up to her highest levels.

WHO is USING THE
PANAMA CANAL? :?

The report of the Panama Canal
for the fiscal year ending July 1,
1917, shows that during the twelve
months preceding, 1876 seagoing
vessels passed through the Canal in
one direction or the other. Of these
AGA were American, 78O British and
632 of other foreign registry. Com
pairing 1917 with 1915, the first year
of the Canals operations, we see
that there has been an increase Of
16O per cent in the foreign shipping
but slight decrease in the Ameri-
can. The number of British ships
using the Canal has increased by 70
per cent, the Chilean by 60 per cent,
the Norwegian by $50 per cent, and
the Japanese by 100 per cent, while
the American has lost ground
It would seem from this tina. the
Panama Canal was a philanthropic
enterprise, constructed by the Ameri-
can chiefly for the benefit of foreign
commerce. Yet the fault is not in
the canal. It is our own lack Of
ships that leaves US in the lurch.

ticipations entertained at the outset

Mailing and recent call was made

well as young men are urged to en-

These operators are to enable the

task of training twenty-five hundred

HUSK SOUTHERN CORN.
Husked Corn is Freer From Insects
and Can Be Stored and Fumi-
gated More Economically.

Southern farmers should husk
their ear corn in the field and not
store it with the husks on, according
to specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
husks carry from the field to the
crib the insect pests that attack
corn, and the damage to the corn
is thereby increased. 1t is possible
to fumigate husked corn more effec-
lively at less expense, and much
greater amount of husked corn can
be stored in the same crib room.
This advice, which is contrary to
the custom, more or less general in
the South of storing corn with the
husks on, is based on recent inves-
legations. 1t is found that cribbing
corn with the husks on insure carry
ing practically every insect from the
field to the crib, and it practically
doubles the volume of storage room
required per bushel of corn. The
amount Of carbon bisulphid needed
to treat unhusked corn in open is
much larger than that required for
husked corn in closed cribs. Husk-
ing in the field will leave at least
three-fourths of the insects on the
husks in the field. This will reduce
subsequent injury during storage.
There is no need for an open crib
in which to store the thoroughly
well-matured corn of the South.
Storage rooms must be made tight
enough for fumigation. The dosage
required for bare cars will be about
10 pounds Of carbon bisulphid per
1000 cubic feet, or one-half the
amount needed with the husks on.
Store as soon as the corn is thor
oughly matured and fumigate
promptly for best results. If insect
attack develops in the crib, treat
again, using heavier dosage. Doing
the work during warmer weather
will increase the effectiveness of the
gas.

NATIONAL RED CROSS
NOTES

The appointment of Leigh Car
roll, prominent lawyer of New Or
leans, as manager of the Gulf Di-
vision of the American Red Cross
was announced today by H. P. Davi-
son, Chairman of the Red Cross War
Council. William J. Lippert, the
present division director, will con-
tinue his work in association with
Mr. Carroll, as head of the Bureau of
Development and Publicity. He will
also have general charge of the re-
lations with chapters.
Mr.. Carroll is one of the thirteen
men to be chosen to administer the
affairs of the thirteen districts into
which the country has been divided.
Each division manager is a man of
broad business training and expert
ence who has volunteered his ser
vices to the Red Cross, without pay,
for the duration of the war. Mr..
Carroll has suspended his law prac-
tice for as long as the Red Cross
may require his services. His Di-
vision includes louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama, and has a membership
of over 10000.
Red Cross Chpters and Auxiliaries
at Large in the Gulf Division already
number 124, and with the new or
ganization which is now being form
ed under Mr.. Carroll, the work Of
development will be carried steadily
forward. Division headquarters are
for the present in the Post Office
Building, New Orleans.
With the tremendous increase of
Red Cross activities, owing to the
war, the prompt and intelligent
handling of the vast administrative
detail in Washington is impossible.
This work is being done through the
thirteen divisions. rnde' care rully

All Departments of the National
Headquarters are represented in the
offices of the division managers.
These include the Woman's Bureau,
the departments of Civilian and
Military Relief, the Red Cross Sup
ply Service and the Nursing Service.
The decentralized arrangement en-
ables them to keep in more intimate
touch with the activities of the rap
idly growing chapters than was pos
sible when directed from Washing
ton.

FATTENlNG PIGS IN THE SOUTH

By the use of several of the sum
mer forage crops of the South, pigs
can be grown cheaply and come to
the fattening period growtky, heal
thy shotes, ready to make rapid and
economical gains upon rich foods.
For fattening at this early season
use should be made of the grain-pas-
ture crops, soy beans, and cow
peas, and if early sown sweet
potatoes. These crops will fatten
hogs quickly and require only a
small amount of grain to give good
results.
On fairly rich soil, soy beans will
produce more feed than the other
forages. Each acre will afford pas
ture for 150-pound shotes for six to
seven weeks. In order to insure
against the production Of an inferior
soft pork, one-third corn ration
should be fed in connection with the
soy-bean pasture, especially during
the latter part Of the fattening Pc
riod, and when such a system is fol-
lowed each acre of soy beans will
produce from four to seven hundred
pounds Of pork.
Cowpeas succeed better on poor
soils than do soy beans, but their
value as a pork producing crop is
much less: Fully twice as much
grain must be fed cowpea pasture as
was recommended in the case Of soy
beans in order to obtain equally rap
id and heavy gains. When a one
third grain ration is fed in connec-
ton with cowpea forage, one acre
will carry eight 15O-pound shotes
from four to five weeks, and the
pork-producing power will be CORES
pondingly reduced under that esti-
mated for soy beans.
The southern farmer is familiar
with the culture of sweet potatoes.
They may be used to very good ad-
vantage in the production of pork.
The pigs do their own harvesting,
and when a high protein supplement,
such as soy-bean meal, or tankage
is fed in addition in order to balance
the ration, one acre will produce
from four to eight hundred pounds
of pork in a four weeks grazing pc
riod, depending upon the yield Of
potatoes.
