FEED GULL POTATOES
TO POULTRY

( . 81 e "a -
Small, scabby, or Gull potatoes may
be cooked and then fed to poultry. A
mixture Of bushel of cooked pota.
toes with 10 pounds OF wheat bran and
10 pounds Of corn meal has given ex-
ce1lent results. II sour milk is avail
able, give the birds what they viii
drink of it in addition to the above
mash. II milk is not available. add 2
pounds of cottonseed meal to the
above mash mixture and its efficiency
will be increased. This feed mixture
should be supplemented by one feed OF
hard grain daily, and It may be de-
pended upon to produce eggs in guam
tity, or to develop growing chickens
rapidly. Do not let the potatoes go
to waste.A. r. Rolf, Extension Ser

BUMPER CROPS IN PROSPECT.
Labor Situation, However, Consid-
cred Extremely Serious.

A planter in ST. Landry sums up
the situation in the sugar district of
Louisiana in this one sentence: 1.-THE
question of gathering and saving our
crops is our greatest problem" An
other from AvoyeHes says: "The corn
crop is the best here in years. Sugar
cane is also fine. All crops better
than in number of years. " And in
the meantime government officials
are being overwhelmed with appeals
for help in the solution of the Louisi-
ana sugar industry's distressing Ia
Dor outlook.
With a cane crop showing condi-
ton IS per cent of perfect in July,
which is several points better thar
it was early in June, and the corn
outlook 96 per cent of normal with a
corn acreage of about los per cent
as compared with the acreage last
year, these labor difficulties and the
more recent cane freight rate adj
vance of twenty-five per cent just
approved by the Louisiana railroad
commission, together with the COM
mencing fear that cars are not going
to be over plentiful or even sufficient
when the crop begins to move to the
factories in the fall, become sources
of great encouragement to the pro-
ducers who had gone into the fight
to substantially increase our produc-
ton Of sugar and corn with great
vigor that Louisiana might contrib
use her full share to the nations
larder this year. Every parish sends
in it's quota of wonderful crop re
ports and the lowest crop condition
average is found in those parishes on
the western end of the belt where To-
cal drouths have served to keep the
crop down to around better than
normal by about four and a half pei
cent.-Louisiana Planter.

We expect, as matter of course,
that our soldiers and sailors will do
as they are ordered. We oftentimes
do not think it necessary to do what
our government asks US to do. Why
should we not be just as prompt in
our response? Our men are ordered
to expose themselves to the guns of
the Huns. We are asked only to
save and to loan our savings to the
government. Can we refuse this re-
quest?

CONFESSED TURNING IN
FALSE FIRE ALARMS
Two Boys Turned in Alarms
Were Paid to Do So by Third
Boy-This Nuisance Seems to
Have Been Stopped.

Stephen Epps plead guilty before
Recorder E. M. Britt yesterday of
the charge of paying David Earl
Shooter, q 14-year-old boy, 81 on
Christmas night to turn in the fire
alarm and also Of paying Ernest Tilly,
a 12-year-old boy, rs cents on anoth-
er occasion to turn in the alarm.
Shooter and Tilly each plead guilty
of turning in a false alarm on the
occasion that Epps paid him to turn
in the alarm. James Pope, who was
indicted in connection with turning
in the alarms, was found not guilty
Prayer for judgment was contin-
ued in each case upon payment of the
cost in the action. However, each of
the three boys who plead guilty OF
the offense must appear before the
recorder twice each month with Il ce1-
tificate from his school teacher show
ing that he has attended school reg.
ularly, and the recorder instructed the
officers to arrest and place in jai
any of the three who We're caught or
the streets after dark unless witt
their parents. Epps is II years old
False fire alarms were frequent NJ
until the time these boys were ar
rested about two weeks ago, but NJ
false alarms have been turned IN
since that time. Had the boys beer
few years older, no doubt they
would have been sentenced to th'
roads.

A Careless Bid Gets a Mule and
He Didn't Want No Mule.

CPL make it $3". That was the bid
of Mr.. J. W. Kilcran, travelling
salesman who lives in Atlanta, Ga.
Saturday when he walked near where
some plug" mules were being sold
at auction on the street here. To
Mr.. Kilcran's surprise nobody better
ed his bid and the mule was knocked
off on him. Although a travelling
man has but little use for mule in
this day Of Fords, Mr.. Kilcran paid
for the mule. What was he to dc
with his mule? was the question that
bothered him. After walking up and
down the street for a spell trying to
dispose of his mule, he found pur-
chaser. He sold the mule for So
making 81 on the deal-and was glac
indeed to sell him at that.

FARM DEMONSTRA-
TION AGENT AND
NITRATE OF SODA
Agents Have Had No Definite In
struction About How to Pro
ceed About Soda-Looking for
Agent for Robson.

Mr.. F. Grover Britt, secretary
treasurer Of the Robson Farmers
union, has just received a letter from
Mr.. R. w. Freeman of Wilson, dis
trict farm demonstration agent, in
reply to an inquiry in regard to fur
nishing a demonstration agent for
Robson and also about the nitrate
of soda to be furnished the farmers
at cost by the government.
In regard to the soda, Mr.. Freeman
says he hardly knows what to say.
He says, however, that he is under
the impression that the soda will be
sold through the demonstration agents,
but adds that up to this time the
agents have had no definite instruc-
tion about how to proceed. Mr..
Freeman says he hopes to have some
more definite information at an early
date and promised to furnish Mr.
Britt with any information he is able
to get.
In regard to furnishing Robson
with farm demonstration agent, Mr.
Freeman writes htat he has been un-
able to get a suitable man to fill the
place. He adds that he has two OF
three men in sight, however, and
hopes to send a man to Robson in 9
! short time.
Mr. Britt has written DR.. B. w
| Kilgore, Of the State Department Of
Agriculture, in regard to the soda
question and will publish his repl!
in The Robesonian.
