Unusual ice conditions blocked up the entire Siberian coast as far far as the Gulf of Anadir, according to the, Belvdere which arrived vest erday. Tho Belvidere had no end of a time hucking the ice which consisted of no small foes, but giant bergs from the Arctic. In battling with the ice the Belvidere sustained some injury to it's hull and rudder, nothing Of a serious na- ture however. Captain Porter will leave for the Outside from here on the Victoria, being unwell for some time, and his position on board the trader is filled by his mate. Mir. Swcnson stated that there was really nothing doing in Siberia. Almost al, the white people were gone to the war and activities there were nonc in Anadir. In fact be- yond the unusual fact of the ice conditions along the coast there was nothing important to report. All mariners agree that this ice condition is a very peculiar pheno- menon and are at loss to account for ii. But the crew describes it as mcnacina at times:
 The ice was here, the ice was there
 The ic. was all around,
 It cracked and growled and roared

LOUISIANA GROWS ONLY
ONE-HALF CORN NEEDED
Imperative That Acreage Be increas-
ed-Most Important Food Crop In
State-PIant 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 one-half of the corn and corn
products required to meet the needs
of the state. 1t is imperative. there
fore, that the acreage planted to this
crop be greatly increased.
AS a rule, il is not advisable TO
plant corn on poor land, but under ex-
listing conditions Of great need for
increased food production, corn should
be planted on the poorest grade Of
land as well as on the best, and a
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
is recommended that the native va
rieties, such as Calhoun Red Cob, Sen
tells White Dent, Hastings Prolific,
Mosby's Prolific, ETC., be planted up
to the first Of June, after which some
of the earlier maturing types, such as
Laguna and Dwarf Mexican June
should be planted.
Corn is a crop that is greatly In
fiuenced by soil and by rainfall dur
ing the growing season. The only
thing that farmer can do to over
come these difficulties is to prepare
tho soil thoroughly and give the corn
the best possible cultivation.-W. r.

TABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Hatched and Reared
At Any Time-Foods For Fat
tenine Fowls.

The production of table poultry is a
means by which many individuals can
do a great deal toward averting the
threatened meat shortage.
Table poultry is produced largely
as by-product from fiocks where egg
production is the main object. AL
though early spring matches are nee
essary to produce good fall and win
ter layers, chickens for table use can
be profitably Matched and reared at al
most any time of year
Keep the growing chicks comforta-
BILE at all times. This is the only
method that will give the best results.
A chick once checked, or stunted, dur
ing its growing period will never
make as good development as the
chick which is kept growing steadily
at its normal rate.
Chicks that are Matched during the
hotter portions of the year should be
provided with ample shade, clean and
cool water, and fresh, succulent green
feed. The very young chick cannot
stand as much exposure to the hot
sun as can the earlier Matched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock. Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, Orpington, etc, are
best suited for table poultry produc-
ton. The cockerels from these breeds
may be caponized when they weigh a
pound and a half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to the
six or eight pound stage, or even
larger.
The light, active breeds, such as
Leghorns and the Creole" can be
used profltably for the production of
broilers or small fryers. Owing 10
their nervous, active disposition they
increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to two
and half pound stage. and it is rare
ly profitable to keep them beyond that
point
From a standpoint OF economy, pouI-
try is not ready for consumption until
1t has been fattened, or finished"
The finishing should be done by the
grower. A simple method is to con-
fine the birds to small yard for about
two weeks and feed them on corn
chops soaked in sour skinned milk,
giving three feeds day and all they
will eat. Where milk is not obtaina-
bic. the following may usually be sub
stituted with satisfactory results:
Wheat bran, part; cottonseed meal,
parts; corn meal. 10 parts; and wa
ter enough to make a mixture Of
creamy consistency-A. F. Rolf, Live

THE SOY BEAN WILL
SERVE MANY PURPOSES
May Be Grown For Money Crop, For
age, and Soil Improver-WiIi
Follow Dat Crop.

The soy bean is very valuable
crop to grow at any time. It may be
utilized as money crop" where the
seed are harvested and sold TO the
oil mills. II thus contributes to the
food supply. Twenty bushels of seed
per acre Is reasonably good yield,
and at the present price this yield
would bring fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
is considered.
Probably the greatest value Of the
soy bean, on the whole, however, is as
a forage crop. When grown for this
purpose it should be planted thick 1r
the row and cut for hay. It makes a
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay. The harvesting periodlis usual
ly the latter part of August or the
first of September, when fair wealth.
er usually prevails. Difficulty is FIRE
quently experienced in obtaining good
seed for planting, and poor stand OF
soy beans is common. To guard
against this, the germinative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should be
done with care. Failure will result il
the land for soy beans is poorly pre-
pared. The land should be well plow
ed and pulverized. and the seed plant
ed not more than one inch to one and
one-half inches deep. The planting
may be done up to the middle Of July,
and on this account it is one OF the
best crops to follow the oat crop. On
poor land the rows should be from
two to two and one-half feet wide, and
on fertile soil from three to three and
one-half feet. Planting should be done
with corn or pea planter and about
bushel of seed used per acre.
II properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and 1t will
need only two or three cultivations.-

none at ell for supper, you will more
