To Those Who Have Pledged Them
selves To Buy War Saving Stamps:

10 THOSE VINO nave IleuSeu lncm.
selves To Buy War Saving Stamps:
1t has been a physical impossibiiity
to follow up the pledges which were
secured in that very strenuous cam
paign last summer, when pledges for
more than five hundred thousand
dollars were secured. Many have in
vested in the full amount of stamps
they pledged to buy; many have
bought only portion of their pledge
or may be none at all. | appeal to
those who have not fulfilled their
pledges to not allow another week to
pass by without redeeming their
pledge. War Savings Stamps will be
sold during 1919, but your pledge
was to buy before the end of Decem-
Der, 1918. While money is plentiful
in st. Tahmany, appeal to you to
put aside enough to redeem your
pledge in full. There will be time
when you will be glad that you in
vested your money in these securi-
ties.
Since making these pledges our
boys across the waters have played
heroic part in trimming up" the
Germans and bringing the war to an
end. This is no reason why the
pledge should not be carried out. 1t
is all the greater reason why 1t
should be. Our boys have played
fair and done their part. Now let
US play fair and do ours.

Chairman War Savings Committee

PROVIDE FOR SOLDIERS.

With the cessation of hostilities in
Europe there is presented to the peo-
pie of the United States one of the
greatest labor problems in the his
tory of the Department of Labor
that of putting the tremendous army
of men now in uniform back on an
industrial basis, with the least pos
sible disturbance of labor and indus
trial conditions.
The soldiers who are now being g
discharged from the various camps
and sent home will, in the majority,
seek employment in their home
towns, rather than at the camps.
The task of finding them occupation
thus becomes a community response
bility A simple and efficient plan,
however, has been worked out by
the U. S. Department of Labor. 1t
is, in brief, as follows: A represen
tive of the U. S. Employment Service
is now stationed at every camp or
cantonment in the United States.
His duty will be to furnish each dis
charged soldier with explicit infor-
nation as to where and how to pro-
CcCu Ou IC1CnAu6 ~ 6OL dN
curate information regarding pos
tions which may be open in the so
dier's hame town, or immediate VI
cinity.
In order to give the best possibl 2
service, the Department of Labor ha )
made arrangements with Adjutar
Genera lMcCrory to use the drafs
boards of each parish as centrs
point for furnishing information g j
to positions open in that parish
Enrolment Agents of the U. s. En-
ployment Service will work in clos ;
cooperation with the Chief Clerk Of
the Local Draft Board in collectin I;
and bringing this information to the
Draft Board for dissemination to the
various local applicants for employ
mont and for clearance to the near
est Employment Service Branch.

MADE IN
HIGH GRADE
POULTRY
(By C.. Nj. BrOWn.)

(Written especially for The Farmer)
A short time since l contributed
a short paper ON Standard Bred Poul-
try, which was published exclusively
in The Farmer, and at it's conclusion
invited anyone interested, and who
desired poultry information, to write
me care of The Farmer. The other
+. day l was greatly pleased to receive
communication from NJ. c. Bum,
of Ramsay, La, thanking me for the
article, saying he wished every farm
er in ST. Tammany parish would fol-
low it's advice and breed only the
thoroughbred chicken. incidentally
he asked my opinion why, that for
thirty-fve days, his pure-bred Leg
horns had entirely ceased to lay.
! informed him by letter, as l now
inform all the readers of this journ-
al, that all over Louisiana, and in
my judgment all over the South, the
dearth of hen fruit is painfully in
evidence which is attributable to the
almost insufferable long hot summer
and autumn-that poultry has been
an unusually long time in molting,
taking five months to shed and grow
new feathers back again, whereas,
ninety or less days cover the ora
nary molting season. Even now in
December some chickens have not
their full plumage.
Truly, hens for five or six months,
have been on strike all over the
State, hence the limited supply of
eggs and in consequence the extreme
ly prevalent high prices.
Poultry culture is not difficult to
assimilate, while it is more or less
scientific, especially if you are to
breed the thoroughbred kind, and
why you should breed, and keep on
breeding, the dung-hill variety is an
enigma unless you don't give a
"tinker's hurrah," just so you have
chickens, and get a few eggs, oc-
casionally, for your own consump-
ton, and few dozen to sell to your
grocer during the year.
There is money in standardized
poultry to the farmer, for he can
raise nearly all the feed his flock
