The cry Of the nation. and OF thu

food; and anyone who can, In an,

true patriot.
To suggest that we should save ou1
hogs, at any time, but more especially
in the country's present crisis, may
peem quite uncalled for, or even RI
diculous. However, there are one Of
two points in this connection which
may be overlooked, and will beal
stressing.
The first IL with reference to the
use and abuse of serum Serum. a.
every hog owner knows. is q valuable
protective agent against hog cholera
the demand for which seems to be on

hog owners who order serum when
not really needed. Of order quantities

quire ct the time? II 90, and We think
Il not improbable, It means = waste
oR serum. and IL probably dsprivina
othsrs Of it, use On account Of . tenn
porary shortage Of the supply thereby
occasioned.
IN intslligently conserving the ~
rum supply, therefore. 1t means COLI
serving and increasing tho peoples
food supply in hogs.
On tho other hand, the one who.
through the wasteful use, or abuse, OF
serum, deprives some one else Of its
use in trying to save his hogs. is not
only not aiding conservation, but the
very opposite.
The second point 10, the adoption Of
strict sanitary measures in connec.
ton with hog cholera. The man who
does not effectually destroy his chol-
ararinfected carcasses, but permits
them to lie around exposed to be the
means Of spreading infection to his
own still healthy hogs, and to his
herds. is surely not using
his best efforts to conserve and In
crease the hog supply. and. therefore.

LOUISIANA GROWS ONLY
0Nt-hAlF CORN NEEDED

edNA6est Important Food Crop IN
o1ato-Plant standard Varieties.

Corn Is the most important food
crop grown in Louisiana and amounts
to about forty-million bushels year.
This great amount, however, Is only
about onehalf Of the corn and corn
products required to meet the needs
OF the state. It 10 Imperative. there
fore, that the acreage planted to this
crop be greatly increased.
AS q rule, it Is not advisable to
plant corn on poor land, but under ex-
listing conditions of great need tor
increased food production, corn should
be planted on the poorest grade OF
land as well as on the best, and
crop Of velvet beans should be grown
with the corn to help make it profit-
able.
The season for planting corn Will
last until about the first OF July. 1t

non,t Force The Mold.

Laying hens should be allowed
to mott naturally. The common
idea that if hens are compelled
to mott early they will quickly
feather out and commence lay
ing early in the fall is erroneous.
An early mott is not a sign OF
early fall production. Usually
the late melting hen is the hea-
vier producer. In fact a lack OF
feather growth is suggested by
IG. w. Hervey of the University
of Missouri College Of Agricult-
ure as one of the points to con-
slider when selecting hens FOL
winter laying.
Very often show birds are
forced into a summer mott by {
restriction of feed. This is dom
so that the birds may be in full
feather once more for the earl,
show season. This should neve
be practiced with utility stock
1t will cause production to sto.
and weaken the hens at a tim
of the year when full strengt
is needed. 1t is unwise to chang
the general character of tn
feed. The addition of some o
carrying ingredient, howevel
such as sunflower seed, will al
!, in the development Of new featl
ers.

PROSPECTS
Wentworth Team Expected to
Give a Good Account of
Itself.

Among the Lexington follow
ers of sport-that is among
those who have not gone into
the army-there is considerable
speculation as to what kind of
football team will represent the
red and white this fall.
According to the present in
.tention, the schedule as arrang-
ed last year will be played with
the possible exception of the
alumni game, Nearly all of the
alumni who have gathered in
past years to show their young
err successors some of the fine
points of football are now teach
ing rockies how to salute. But
in general the prep school foot
ball this fall will be as strenu-
GUS as ever.
Capt. T.. B. Wikoff will be the
coach. All the cadets have con.
fdence in his ability as a teach.
er and in his character as a man
The team will work hard fol-
him. He knows a great deal Of
football and can be counted OF
to do his part in the turning on
of a great machine.
Of last years "W" men Cedar
Simmons, Byler, Collins and Eel
leken are expected to return
These will form a necleus of
fighting aggregation. From tn,
second team Brizendine, Moose
Catron, Hadley, Marrs, Coffman
Combs and Rucker are expected
to be candidates for promotion
and some of them may be count
ed on for stellar performances.
Just what the new men wi
produce is problematic. Their
will be an enormous crowd O
new students and many of ther
are husky. Doubtless some q
them will fill up the gaps an
make the old men hustle to hol
their positions.

Wentworth Men Make Good.

1t is gratifying news to the
students of the Academy that
every Wentworth graduate who
entered the training camps re-
ceived a commission in the ar
my. Only two Wentworth men
are known to have failed and
both of them were men who had
dropped out of school before
graduation.
All of the men who left the
Academy before the close OF
school in May to enter camps
were successful. Major Sellers
received a Captains commission
and was ordered to the school
of musketry at Fort Sill for a
months instruction before TAX
ing command Of a machine gun
company Of the National Army
at Camp Funston. Captain |. E
Ryder received a first lieutenan.
cy and was designated for the
contingent that is shortly tt
leave for France.
w. N. Motley distinguished
himself by making the aviation
corps.
Norman Matheson and M. G

ancies in the Reserves, to be as
signed to the Regular Army a
