10000 ACRES OF NEW LAND
PLANTED CALCASIEU.

Lake Charles, La, Feb. 81
Food production in Calcasieu Will
reach figure this year never be
fore seen in the parish, says par
ish demonstration agent, Paul d.
.. Perkins. who states that there
are 10000 acres of land under
cultivation that has been broken
for the first time. This means
increased acreages in many staple
stuffs, including food, feed and
cotton. During the 80 days be-
tween January ID and February
10 about 2OOO acres of land was
broken in Calcasieu, thus giving
very early start for this section.
Corn, cotton, potatoes, both
sweet and Irish, sorghum, pea
nuts and general gardening will
make Calcasieu parish one con
tinuous field of well cultivated
land this year All this acreage
does not include rice.
The police jury tried the plan
Of selecting seeds and purchasing
them in large quantities last year,
distributing them to the farmers.
This plan proved to be such a
success that this year the police
jury purchased about $4,000 worth
of choice seeds of all varieties re
quired by Calcasieu planters, and
through Mr.. Perkins these seeds
are being disposed of.
The Irish potato crop will be
one Of the first to come on, and
owing to favorable weather, al
most the entire seed supply Of
the parish is already in the
ground. This means an early
crop, as plowing was from 30 to
60 days in advance this season
over last spring.

BEAUMONT TO EQUIP 81
WOODEN SHIPS.

Beaumont. Tex, Feb. 27.-Fol
the second time within a month
Beaumont was given recognition
by the government as ship.
building point when the Lone
Star Shipbuilding Company OF
this city received from the Emerg.
ency Fleet Corporation a contract
to equip for sea twenty-five wood
en- vessels now being built on the
gulf coast. The deal was closed
through Duncan, Young and
Company. of New York, repre-
sentatives of the Beaumont com
pany, and involves $5,5O0.OOO.
The procuring of this contract
means that fifty-one wooden
ships being built in the Sixth
District. extending from New Or
leans west, will be equipped in
Beaumont. The Lone Star Com
pany plans to expend about $780,
600 in additional new equipment
to their plant.
1t is the purpose Of the com
pany to maintain a permanent
shipbuilding industry in Beau
mont.

SUGAR PLANTERS SHOULD
GROW FEEDSTUFFS

In 1904 one hundred pounds of
sugar would purchase 9.12 BUSH
els of corn or l4,7 bushels of oats.
In 1913 it would purchase 5.l3
! bushels of corn or S.S bushels of
oats. At the present time it will
purchase only 3.42 bushels of
corn or 6.66 bushels of oats.
The foregoing figures, com
piled by Dean w. r. Dodson, of
the College of Agriculture, l.. 5.
t., prove clearly that, although
sugar has advanced in price, It
has not advanced in proportion to
the principal feedstuffs on the
plantations where it is pro-
duced.
I'm other words the sugar plant
er can now buy only half as much
feed with his sugar as he could
at average normal prices.
This emphasizes two important
things said Dean Dodson: first,
that the sugar planter should
make a special effort to raise all
the corn he needs, even should it
be poor corn year; and second,
sugar is not so high as some would
have the public believe it is.
1t will be necessary to take
into consideration the purchasing
power of sugar measured in
terms of corn, oats. hay, lard,
bacon, -four, cotton goods and
leather when further considera-
tion is given to fixing Of the. price
of sugar, but in the meantime, it
behooves the planter to try to
raise enough feed to make it I'M
necessary to use sugar TO pay for
corn. oats, or hay.-L. S. U. Press
Bulletin.

THE BUSINESS FARMER s
CALENDAR: FIVE
THINGS TO DO.

1. Unless you are sure you
have all you can manage, better
get one, two or three more good
brood sows. There's money in
hogs rightly managed, and the
wise farmer will plan to get some
of it.
2. When other work is not
pressing. rake leaves and straw
and put them in stables, barn.
yard. or on the fields. They con-
tain valuable plant food.
3. Better get prices on COM
mercial fertilizers and plan with
your neighbors to buy in carlots.
Doing so may save quite a tidy
sum.
4. Unless you have one al
ready. now is a good time to
build an inexpensive implement
shed. Machinery costs too much
to be allowed to rust and rot.
5. If You have any tenants,
plan to make them your business
partners next year. Mutual fair
dealing between landlord and
tenant is best for both and the
land as well.-The Progressive
Farmer.

SAVE ALL MANURE, STRAW
AND LEAVES FOR FER
TILIZER.

With commercial fertilizers
scarce and high-priced, every
pound of homemade fertilizers
should be carefully saved and
used in 1918. With nitrogen at
35 cents, phosphoric acid 6 cents
and potash 30 cents a pound
when bought in commercial fer
tilizers, it is of interest and value
to calculate the plant food val
ues of the materials commonly
found around the average South
ern farm.
Stable manure. Of which We
waste a tremendous amount, con-
tains in each ton about ten
pounds Of nitrogen. worth $3.50;
five pounds of phosphoric acid.
worth 5000: and ten pounds of
potash worth So, or total of
$3.50 per ton. To this we would
add value of at least So per ton
for the humus value of the man
ure and because of it's promotion
of beneficial bacterial activities.
Thus. where potash is needed, as
is the case over much of the
Southeast, a ton manure is
worth about $40, while in those
sections where potash is not
needed, a ton Of manure is well
worth about 81. When we con-
slider that an animal weighing
1000 pounds will in year pro-
duce eight to ten tons Of manure,
we can begin to see the import
ance of saving every possible
pound Of this material. To do
this. cheap sheds for housing the
stock at night should be pro-
vided, plenty Of straw, leaves or
other absorbent materials should
be used in the stables and barn
yard, and all manure should be
put on the fields as soon as prac-
ticable after it is made.
Straw and leaves are another
source Of plant food and humus
that should not be overlooked.
These will probably average
higher than stable manure in
nitrogen. and fully as high in
phosphoric acid and potash.
Moreover, since they contain less
water than the average manure,
their humus-making value will be
considerably greater. When
other work is not pressing, sew
eral days may well be devoted to
hauling these materials out Of
the woods. Fertilizing material
worth $40 ton should not be
sent up in smoke.
We are not suggesting that
,hese materials be used to take
he place of commercial fertiliz-
,rs, but rather that one be used
% supplement the others. AS a
natter of fact, present prices for
practically everything we raise
Justify heavier fertilization than
,ver before. SO we would not

TO THE LOUISIANA SUGAR
PLANTERS,
New Orleans. Feb. 90, 1918

New Orleans, Feb 20, 1918.
Gentlemen-We have been ap
pointed a Committee to co-ope.
rate with our National Govern.
ment In an endeavor to conserve
the food products and other sup
plies, essential to the prosecution
OF the war, against destruction by
fire through enemy spies. We are
addressing you, therefore, for the
purpose Of enlisting your co-ope-
ration through a careful guard
ing Of your sugar house. While
1t IS true that your plant is not
now in operation, its destruction
by fire would further the cause
OF our enemy, in that it would
prevent the taking off Of your
crop next season, because of the
present condition of the machin-
cry market and the transportation
facilities Of our country it is i'm
probable that your sugar house
could be rebuilt in time for the
next harvest, to say nothing of
the very great expense you would
be occasioned by having to re-
build on the present cost of ma
terial and labor.
1t is customary during the idle
season for sugar houses to remain
practically unguarded. Further
more, the doors and windows are
not locked, and in many plants the
sides of the sugar house are not
entirely closed in. We cannot too
strongly recommend to you the
need for carefully locking up Of
your sugar house and the placing
OF night and day watchmen, well
armed, On the premises. Further
more, we recommend that you do
not allow any strangers to enter
your premises, and this is partic-
ularly true of peddlers, who are
cftentimes disguised spies and
have occasioned serious fires.
These recommendations will per-
haps impress you as being I'M
usual, but we feel sure that after
careful consideration of the sub
Ject and the record of explosions
and fires due to spies you will ac-
accord us favorable reply.
Yours truly,
J. G. PEPPER,
j. B. ROSS,
T. B. NORTON,
Committee.

COMMUNITY PATRIOTISM Is
NEEDED.

An intense community patriot
ism is one Of our sorest needs in
all parts of the South. Let us
now carefully compare ON
neighborhood with nearby neigh.
borhoods. our school district with
nearby school districts, and de-
eide just how we can catch up
with our neighbors in any wor-
thy achievements in which they
have surpassed us, and also de-
eide on certain lines in which we
will excel them-decide how we
can have a better school than
neighboring districts have, a bet
ter school building. school
grounds, school library, commun.
ity auditorium, church. Sunday
school, roads, community fair.
etc.
1t will 60 a long way toward
stimulating such community
patriotism if about ten thousand
Southern men and women in re-
vising their wills this year will
include a provision. or add a
codicil. making some bequest for
community Improvement. Near
ly every Southern landowner is
little better off than he was a
year ago. Now let him give a
little Of his increased prosperity
to the community instead of
selfishly concentrating it all on
his own family. The Progressive
Farmer.
