Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense IN our
1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our "going broke. !"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the ycSr round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you mere money than you
made on the best three acres Of G1tton
you ever grew!

Chairman ]. H. McNeely Fine Red
Cross Worker


All of the citizens of Grant
parish know that Mr.. McNeely
makes a fine presiding officer,
but as chairman of the Red Cross
ne is Untitled to special honor for
the work he has done. In the
organization of Grant parish he
has exercised his influence to
line advantage, and Colfax and
Pollock chapters have been expe-
dited no little by the good judg-
ment used by him. He is very
apt at disclaiming credit for him.
self by saying he only selected
the ladies who have done all the
work. We would not detract a
single iota from the splendid
work the ladies have done for
the Red Cross. because theirs has
been a labor of love discharged
with great zeal and efficiency,
but we feel sure we voice their
sentiments when we say that
u = McNeely's example and
counsel has been an inspiration
and great help to them in all
that has been done, and it is
nothing but right and just that
he be given this credit.

Final Call For Seed Corn Testing.

For the last time, have you tested
your seed corn? Fear that May and
June may find an unusually large
number of corn fields with insufficient
plants for satisfactory yields has
prompted specialists of the United
States department OF agriculture to
make a final appeal for seed testing.
The appeal is directed particularly to
farmers in the corn belt proper who
rarely before nave experienced serious
seed corn troubles.
Much seed that terminated salts
factorily last December is now dead
or almost dead, the federal specialists
say, tho to the eye it may still appear
satisfactory. In order to plant vari-
cites that will ripen, it will be neces-
sary for many to plant seed which
terminates as low as 60 per cent; but
no seed should be planted this year
without knowing what proportion Of it
will grow.
Seed terminating only 50 or Is per
cent should be planted approximately
three times as thick as good seed. I'm
even stands are likely to result, Tor
weak seed will terminate only where
the soil is in good condition and will
fail in poorly drained and cloddy
places. Making termination tests OF
individual ears costs only trffie while
a poor stand Of plants viii prove ex-
ceedingiy costly. No q

weeks study OF greatest value to the
preachers. priests, and other religious
workers of this state.
This conference is. according to
Professor Weller. the only one Of its
kind in America. Last year it was
largely attended and the call for con-
tinuance Of the enterprise has orig
mated for the most part in the persons
who attended last year. Greed differ
ences are. Of course. not taken up in
the meetings; only the deeper prin-
cipies upon which all churches are in
agreement are considered.
The main part OF the work Of the
two-week conference consists OF class
room lectures by members Of the uni
vevity's own faculty. These will be
specially designed to give to the
churchmen a knowledge Of certain
facts and principles Of economies, So
GEOLOGY, psychology. philosophy. pub
lie speaking, history. and education

them in their religious work. The
class room work will be supplemented
