CORN WASTE.
(By G. f. Millar, Farm Demon
stratOr.)

stratOr.)
Visiting many corn cribs, find
in so many the awful toll the rats
take from the majority. l came
across an ideal cor ncrib the other
day, it was made Of rough lumber,
the sides built like a Venetian blind,
and lined with rat-proof wire. Inc
contrast between that and another
Fat Mans crib not a thousand miles
from Pearl River, was enough TO
make one ask, why, for the sake OF
little time and trouble, no more
material in lumber, only a small
amount of rat-proof wire, raise TOT
rats corn that so many starving peo-
ple need? This particular crib seems
to he open for the public, and they
evidently are welcome to help them
selves and they do it. During the
time / was there farmer and TWO
boys were selecting seed corn, and
the way one of the boys seemed 10
nose out good seed ears after the
defects of bad ears were SHOWN 10
him. was a caution. He put it over
the grown man. There were some
fine seed ears, but occasionally they
showed the effects Of the drouth OF
last year.
While on the seed corn question, l
was told by a reliable man in Gov
ington that he paid at the rate OF
$3.50 per bushel for seed corn at one
of the stores" when at the same
time, to my certain knowledge, ne
could have bought better corn raised
! in Covington for $500 per bushel.
Help to cut out that sort OF waste
and profiteering. There is sp1en-
! did chance for some good farmer to
| raise seed corn. He can be sure OF
$500 a bushel, at least, and by good
selection can improve and add to the
corn production of the parish. When
will we learn to keep our money al
home and by concerted effort dra"
! in money from the outside? In my
travels / meet farmer after farmer

buggies to SELL, driving to town

EASTER AT THE METHODIST
CHCRCUH.

The congregation assembled at the
Covivngton Methodist Church on
Easter morning were pleased and
surprised at the beautiful program
which had been prepared under the
auspices of Mrs. w. H. Yenni. The
church was tastefully decorated.
The singing and reading of the child
rem were most attractive and several
fine anthems were given in a man
ner worthy Of any city church. This
part of the program was under the
management of Prof. Park. who,
with Mrs Park, Rev. and Mrs. Selfe
and Mr.. J. Monroe Simmons, made
up the choir. Mrs. Simmons was the
very efficient accompanies for the
entire program.
The original Easter story by Mrs.
J. T. Bishop, as told in her charac-
teristic way, Of the beautiful little
girl in the home who was always
asking questions of all things Of Ma
ture, ever thinking of the idea of
their waking up" this beautiful
original out of the ordinary way of
calling peoples attention to the res
direction of Christ, brought tears
into the eyes of many of the listen
ers and left an impression on the
minds of many which can never
fade. Everyone who heard Mrs.
Bishop will always look forward to
hearing her again.

Shipyard Workers and Mill Men.
Looking over the crowd that Mr..
ID. d. Moore spoke to the other day
in MadisOnville, it did one good to
see the fine spirit of cooperation that
seemed to exist between employees
and employers-al working for the
same principle and end-winning the
war. The time was so limited that
was unable to ask that fine body OF
men to further add to their help by
each raising a war garden or COM
munity patch. supplying food and
fertilizer to some skilled gardner.
Owners of small gardens and ship
yard and brick masons, saw mill
men, in places like jacksonville and
Slidell, do not realize the fact that
it is not only what they raise is a
saving, but what they DO NOT BUY
that helps. 1t leaves so much more
for others that cannot produce. Get
! into the war garden, brothers, with
the whole family, leaving out the
blamed dog.
Corn Seed Bed.
/ had occasion to look over some
plowed land being broken up for
corn. Fine sandy loan, depth OF
soil six inches, little or no humus,
below which was hard clay sub
soil. No corn root could find an en-
trance there and if it did there would
not be any plant food. II the sum-
mer rain fall is light this mans farm
will register one more crop failure.
It is a we'll known fact that crop
of corn requires not less than one
inch of water over each acre to make
a crop of corn and that six-inch seed
bed will not contain it. II we have
regular rains, properly spaced, II
may produce, but no amount OF con.
servation of moisture by cultivation
will save the crop in a drouth. In
my opinion it is too risky to PLAN
corn on such shallow seed bed
It is much better to plant sweet pc
Itatoes. Bedding up will help, ant
next year pillow deeper with goot
disc or sub-soil pillow. Provide q
place for the January rains. North

soil dries out so quickly. No one a.
