Thre is very little coal used
in Franklinton, the fuel used
here consisting mostly of pine
and oak wood, a saving of which
could not affect the coal shortage
but the brand of patriotism grow

ter has a direct bearing upon the
comfort and safety of your son or
brother or nephew at the 'front.'
Well, such is the case.
The recent billiards. throughout
the country had paralyzed traffic
of all kinds. Thousands of cars
bound for the Atlantic ports load
ed with coal and much.necded
foodstuffs were frozen in and
hopelessly blocked on the sieings'
AS a result the trains could not
move, ships could not leave port
for lack of coal in their bunkers
This meant that our boys in
France were likely to suffer The
lack of some much needed equip
ment or food supplies. But by
putting ourselves to a slight in
convenience we are able to help
relieve the condition. Surely
this is small price to pay for the
immense benefits that will result

Local Farmers to Get
Nitrate of Soda

j. V. Rabb, County Demonstra-
ton Agent, has received notice
that the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture will sell at cost a supply
of nitrate of soda to the farmers
of this parish. This nitrate, which
was purchased by the War In
dustries Board as part of the pro-
gram for stimulating agricultural
production, will be sold to the
farmers of this parish at $3.50 a
ton plus the freight from port of
arrival and the state fertilizer tag
fee. Applications for this fertil-
izer must be made before Febru-
airy 18th, 1918, to j. V. Rabb.
Comfy Agent, Or to A. D. Wood,
Franklinton, La, or to Mr.. j. K.
Johnson, Bogalusa, La, each of
the above named holding blanks
that will have to be filled out up.
on the farmor making application.
No other than the farmer that
intends to use this nitrate can
make this application as it is
strictly understood that there is
to be no speculation made.
You will be unable to get this
nitrate in smaller quantities than
200 pounds and it will make it
much more certain of obtaining
this fertilizer if we can order in
quantities that will make up cal
shipments.
AS far as the nitrogen content
is concerned it is a little more
than 81 times as valuable as cot.
ton seed meal, which is selling al
from $50 to S55 a ton.
No money will be required witt
the application, but upon notice
from the County Agent farmers
who have signed the application
must deposit in a local banE
money to cover the cost of the
fertilizer. Only a limited supply
OF nitrate has been secured by thu
Government, so the farmers whc
wish to take advantage of this
& offer should do so at once.

PROTECT YOUR CORN
FROM WEEYIL DAMAGE
THE BLACK WEEVIL DESTROYS
LARGE QUANTITIES OF CORN
EACH YEAR.
CAUSES IMMENSE LOSSES
Carbon RisuIphIde, Properly Used,
viii Kill the Weevll and Save
the Corn.

The rice weevIl, commonly called
the black weevil does the greatest
damage to corn. This insect viii at

ly one must use measures that Will re-
duce such damage The only method
Of lessenlng the Geld ragages is to
f1e1d-select the seed corn In order to
be sure Of getting ears with tight
shuck coverings. The ends of the ears
should be especially well covered as
this also reduces the damage of the
coTn ear or cotton boil worm. Field
infested corn should be harvested
earlier than other corn. BY pulling 1t
with the shuck on many Of the wee
wills may be removed. Such corn can
be fed very early or It may be placed
(after shucking) in a very tight bin
and treated with carbon bisulphide
to kill the weevls.
Carbon bisulphide is liquid which
passes into gas very quickly after
exposure. The gas is infammable, SO
keep lights and flres away. 1t is hav-
Ter than air, hence if shallow dishes
containing the liquid are set upon the
corn the gas formed will pass down
through the corn. 1t is necessary that

to use one pound Of carbon bisulphide
for every 100 cubic feet of space In a
tight bin, but if 1t is slightly open the
amount to use should be two and one
salf to three times as much. This

Soldiers Dependents.

We desire to call the attention
of the drafted men and their de-
pendents to the fact that if they
expect the government to aid
those dependents, that the soldier
must assign half Of his salary
which is $4,000 per month to his
Wits orother dependent, in which
event the government will add
another $1,000 per month to the
$500 assigned by the soldier,
making the Widows stipend $4,000
per month, with additions for
every child. This is a liberal pro-
vision by the government, but in
case the soldier fails to make as
signment dependent may ask that
it be done and the request will br
complied with. There should be
no delay in the matter, as the gov
eminent can not keep the matter
open indefinitely, and the depend
ents should take prompt action to
see that the proper assignment
is made by the soldier, and in
case it has not been done, they
should make the application for
the same themselves.
There is another thing that no
soldier should fail to do, and that
is to insure his life, through the
government plan. A ten thous-
and dollar policy will cost the
soldier So pei month and in case
of his death, his dependents will
receive $4,000 pension per mouth
for twenty years. Uncle Sam is
doing his best to provide for his
soldiers and their dependents, but
they must help him all they can.
This insurance can not he sold,
assigned or seized for any purpose
or any person, and is strictly for
the benefit of the dependents.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
IN THE SPRING
Many Reasons Why This Practice 10
Best.

Early Matching next spring is neces-
sary If the desired increase In produc-
ton of poultry is attained. 1t Is a1So
necessary, during the winter, that
farmers save young hens and pullets,
so they will be on hand for stock in
the spring. The stock Of poultry has
been reduced considerably this fall by
widespread sale, for market, Of
young hens and pullets. Therefore, it
Is necessary to conserve stock now,
or else the shortage may interfere Sc
riously with the production program.
In view Of the stock shortage, to kill
a good hen now is to reduce the po-
tential egg production next year any
where from five to twelve dozen eggs.
livery Matching in the spring will
increase the number and size of fowls
and the number Of eggs produced next
year. It will result in bigger BIRDS
and birds that will lay in the winter
months.
Every farmer is urged to start the
Matching season earlier than usual
next year, either by incubation or
natural methods, II the hens will sit
earlier.
The chickens first Matched in the
spring are the ones that are largest
in the summer, that mature first in
the fall, and that lay eggs in the win
ter. Furthermore, they are the ones
that will want to sit early the follow.
ing spring, which, in turn, will hatch
earlier chickens-and so the cycle
will continue. On the contrary, chick.
ems Matched late in the spring do not
mature until so late in the fall that
they will not become winter layers.
They will not sit until late in the next
spring, and so another cycle Of late
maturing, late laying fowls is estab-
lished.-L. S. U. Press Bulletin.
