That the training of an alien rookie at the camps makes real man and a good citizen of him was demonstrated recently, when a former Italian boot black was encountered on the main street He came from Italy year ago and applied for naturalization papers.

FOOD SHORTAGE
 CAUSE 0F ALARM
CONGRESS AROUSED BY STATE MENT MADE BEFORE AGRicUL-
 TURAL COMMITTEE.
ATTACK USELESS PRINTING
Charge Made That Warehouse in Washington Is Overflowng With Documents That Will Never Be Used.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-lt seems to be abso- lutely necessary to Issue constant warnings 10 the American people about the saving of food. And yet. so far as observation goes in the national capital there has been no very great attempt to curtail the use of food StuffS, except so as to comply with the requests made by Food Admins trator Hoover in regard to meatleSs and wheatless days. There Is still in sight in the markets and the stores plenty of supplies apparently, and as long as money Is quite free the peo- ole are likely to buy those supplies.
 While Mir. Hoover issues note of alarm from time to time, the real scare has reached congress- and par tcularly those senators and repre- Sentatives who have been investigat- ing the food situation. The members of the agricultural committee of the senate have been really alarmed by statements which have been made be- fore them, which so far have not reach ed the general public. Several of the senators are particularly anxious about the meat supply, and Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who has given a great deal of attention to the subject. feels that there will be meat famine in the United States within n year, even If every possible means should be adopt ed to increase the supply.
 "fhe people have not paid enough attention to production" Is the con- clusion of Senator Kenyon.

The price of wheat is likely to be- come n very interesting subject, judg- ing from the communications that are sent to congress. Senator Owen had a letter from Oklahoma read to the senate not long ago stating the posi- tion of the wheat farmers and com plaining that the farmers who had been able to hoard their wheat were going to get better prices now than those who sold some time ago. The letter was couched in homely phrase and badly written, and seemed to fur nish amusement to quite number of senators. but it conveyed just what the farmer meant. The question nat urally arises whether other farmers are not thinking along the same lines, and if they, too, feel that they are not getting all they ought to have on ac- count of price fixing on their particu- lar staple product.

Senator Shoot of Utah. for the most part a very dIligent senator Tn op- posing useless printing. was asking In the senate to have some pictures printed as a part of the report of the Panama railroad commission. Most of the senators thought he was ask ing to have the report printed. which under the law must be printed anyway. and this caused Senator Poindexter of Washington to ask: Twill anybody read it?"
 "Whenever anything appears print cd as q senate document" remarked Senator Thomas of Colorado 'it is buried in the archives and buried for ever" He ther told the senate that the government had rented Il ware house somewhere in the outskirts of the city of Washington and it was filled to overlloWing with documents printed by the government that are not used. and never will be used
 Then Senator Gronna of North Da- kota took a hand in the discussion and complained bitterly because he was deharred from having petitions of his constituents printed in the Con greSSional Record on account of the shortage of paper, and vet tons and tons of these unread documents were being printed by the government.

Just what interest has been hold ing up the bin to set the clock ahead and save an hour of daylight Is not apparent. but for some reason or other this measure has been held up in the house after passing the senate many months ago, and has not yet become law. So far as can be ascertaned nearly everybody Is for it, or at least no one is against It. The national chamber of commerce has made canvass of it's members, and they seem to be almost unanimous in favor of the measure, and what Is more, they have found half a hundred good req sons why it should pass. This may be like other measures which have very strong apparent support, but upon which there is no affirmative action.
 A campaign is now under way which Is intended to encourage the use of the English language in America. A recent statement says that 5000,000 people in America are speaking more than 100 different languages, not one of which is English that thousands of aliens In our training camps are yet unable to understand military or ders and directions.

DIPPED CATTLE SHOULD BE
MARKED.

There were probably eighteen hum
dred head Of cattle dipped last week.
1t is suggested that dipped cattle
should be marked afterwards so as
to distinguish them from those that
have not been dipped. This would
avoid dipping the same cattle twice
on one roundup, and also would
show il they had not been dipped.
Some kind of paint could be used.

A Letter TO THE FARMERS.
(By Capt. G. e. Millar.)

(Dy O0pCs ~ Gs NA11A0EsJ
Small Cotton Patches-Without
presuming to dictate to the small
farmer, ! would ask him to think
twice before planting ono or two
acres in cotton. In the first place,
cotton will occupy the land at least
six months. take a lot of frtillxer
and add nothing to the soil In tine
shape of humus or fertility. but on
the contrary leave the land poorer
than ever before. How many charge
up the whole cost of growing tho cot
ton crop, counting personal labor Of
the family, cost of blowing, cultiva-
ton and gathering the crop? Cot
ton was high last year and several
farmers told me that "they made
nothing Just broke even" they said,
and had their labor for their pains
In my humble opinion they are jus.
making slaves of themselves and
families. Had they planted the
common red bean they would have
had good food, and they could have
grown second crop on the same
land. Well prepared and fertilized
with stable manure and an added
100 or 200 pounds of acid phosphate
or raw bone phosphate would give
about Is to 100 bushels to the acre.
Some could be sold and some dried
for fall seed, and then the winter
food could be provided. Use the
bush Lima bean also and you will
find they respond quickly to any or
binary care. In cultivating the bean
crop, keep out of the patch while
they are wet with the dew and keep
the plants well hilled.
Cut WOrms-1 have been asked for
remedy. There are several. One
OF the best is to take several outside
leaves of cabbage, wet one side
and dust it we'll with Paris Green
and lay the poison side down, say
every ten feet along the row. Scat
ter ashes. When planting on .
small scale. such as tomatoes and
egg plants, wind small funnel of
paper around the stems and plant
the paper one inch below the soil.
Sugar-"There is eight pounds OF
sugar in each gallon of syrup" %
the Government says, and 400
pounds to the barrel. A good way
to help the sugar shortage would be
for the syrup maker to make some
| sugar, at least enough to supply his
own immediate needs. II any infor-
nation is required to make the sugar
will procure 1t.

On motion A. r. Smith, seconded

was referred to Finance Committee.
The following resolution was Of
fered by A. D. Schwartz, seconded
by H. A. Mackie:
Whereas, it has been brought to
the attention of the Town CouncH
that it is contemplated by the State
Board of Health and other parties
in interest to change Camp Hygeia
from q white to a colored sanitar1um
for the purpose of caring for tuber-
cular patients;
Whereas, realizing that st. Tam
many parish has been seriously in
jured and its growth retarded on
account of its being advertised as
resort for tubercular people;
Whereas, St. Tammany parish is
always willing to do her full duty
to alleviate suffering humanity, yet
they believe that in simple justice
that this colored sanitarium for the
care of tubercular people should be
located in some other section of the
State, as they have already in the
past and will in the future continue
to take care of their full quota OF
these invalids.
Be it resolved. That we earnestly
protest against the establishment OF
negro camp for the care of tuber-
cular people in this parish, and that
copy of this resolution be trans
mitted to DR.. Oscar Bowling, Presi-
dena of the State Board of Health;
