'The idea is impracticable."
All of these arguments are, perhaps
well taken at this time.
Just the same. the suggestion has a
mighty democratic and satisfying sound.
Certainly there is nothing in the con
stitution to authorize popular vote on
the proposition. because all due pains
have been taken to see that nothing Of
the kind got into the constitution.
Nevertheless, does il not seem as If the
fellows to whom it will be left to do the

Or the limping, after war. IL they hap

there was no provision in law and ma

THE DAT CROP
w. j. Leppert,
Director Gulf Division.

There is every reason why eve.
ry farmer should plant a part Of
his acreage in oats. With our warm
winter decomposition of the or.
ganic matter of the soils goes on.
BY planting oats the plant food
made available by decomposition
can be utilized by crop which
needs no cultivation, and costs lit.
tie to harvest. This land can then
be sown to cow peas and a much
larger cotton crop will follow the
next year. Our soils are being con-
stantly deDleted and the yields re-
duced on account of q lack of Or
ganic matter. The oat crop is not
only a profitable crop within itself
but is one which permits a good
crop of peas which in turn produ.
ces q larger yield of the greatest
crop the South knows-cotton.
Mr.. Sadlin cited a good example
the other day in telling of a piece
of land which had been depleted.
On part of this land he planted
two crops of oats and peas sue
cessively. Where the oats and peas
were planted last year, he says he
will get about one third bale.
There are several farmers of
this parish who have good oat seed
for sale. Parties who wish seed
can get these names from the
Country Agent.

An Appeal to the KnitterS
of NatchitocileS Parish

The Red Cross is doing splendit
work at headquarters daily, every
member who possibly can contri
butte her quota;to the different sup
plies necessary for the boxes
which are being shipped as rapidly
as finished.
But there are a number of ladies
throughout the parish who are
skilled in the art of knitting IA
knowledge OF which particular art
is one of the greatest needs of the
hour) and who cannot come to
headquarters, but have spare time
throughout the day, that could be
utilized to a merciful advantage.
So to these as well as to every
lady who can knit, the request is
made to volunteer to help with
the pressing work asked for in the
