MP0RARY WAY
 UNSAFE, [, HE SAYe

It is said that the board of super visors in preparation to improve thu road between the Cross-cut canal ant Tempe. is proposing to divert traffi, along the canal bank to a point nea the Joint Head and thence to Tempe Superintendent Scott of the Arizoni Eastern offers forcible objection oI the ground that it would certaipk mean the death of somebody within a week after traffic had been routes that way.
 The railroad crossing on the cana bank is one of the most dangerou imaginable, so dangerous that not ionl ago MT. Scott arranged with the rec lamation service to close the road. Per sons approaching the crossing iron the west parallel the track and thei view is obscured by dense cottonwoos trees. Eighteen trains pass daily There is also a turn on the grade S that if travellers escape the trains the. are apt to be precipitated into tn canal at that point
 The canal bank road was never in tended for a thoroughfare. The rail road company gave the reclamation service right of way for the cana through its right of way and that in cluded road for the zanjero. Tn people afterward appropriated it 8 way to the Joint Head.
 MT. Scott placed two iron. gate across the road recently. one on eaci side of the track and pad locked them He gave a key to the reclamation ser vice so that the zanjero could hay, access to the road. At the same tim in order that the way to the Join Head might not be closed to the publi he proposed to donate lot of timbe for bridge across the Cross-cut on [ road that might be opened across tn desert farther east.
 He stated yesterday that in no cir cumstances would the road be per mitted to be reopened for traffic. H suggests that the lower road to Temp me put into shape for traffic. Thos who live farther west along the Temp road and west of the proposed i'm provement may find their way t Tempe by the McDowell road.

THE CANE CROP.

Abnormallv cool weather for
the month of April has prevailed
throughout almost all Of the past
week, the thermometer in New
Orleans descending as low as 46
degrees on one or two mornings
and the low temperatures con
tinued for several days. without
the quick amelioration usual
when cool waves occur this late
in the season. While there are
no reports of any temperature
low enough to injure the young
cam # is possible that some harm
has been infiict ted on young corn,
and in any case, growth Of all
vegetation has been abruptly
checked until warmer weather re
turns to us.
There is no criticism to be
made Of the cane crop, on the
score of advancement or condi-
ton. but all data we have at
hand indicates a smaller acreage
in cane in Louisiana this year
than last year. the reduction be-
ing approximately 5 per cent

AN OPTION ON OILERS.

Here is a way to secure farm
labor. There are many idlers Oh
the streets of Alexandria. who
might be pressed into service. 1t
works. 1t gets results in Chick
asha, Oklahoma. And in any
parish it will help to some extent,
at least. in relieving the farm
labor shortage.
The farm demonstration agent
at Grady County, of which Chick
asha is the seat, arranged with
the chief of police and the judge
Of the city court to give HIM an
"option' as it were, upon all the
Migrants and idlers arraigned.
The county agent promised to use
his best efforts to secure a job for
every man who expressed a will
ingness to 90 to work on a farm.
Transient Migrants and local
idlers alike, were unhesitant in
deciding. Given a choice of Jail
or the county road or Of hard
farm work at fair wages. they be-
came enthusiastic back-to-the-
farm" advocates.
The county agent has an ar
rangement whereby the city and
county authorities feed these men
until they are placed on farms.
And, that usually, is very quickly.
The agent is in touch with farm
labor needs all over the county
and has been able to place all
promising material without de-
lay. In one day during the last
harvest season he furnished farm
ers with eighty-nine men, and
upon several occasions he has
furnished sixty to sixtv-fve farm
workers in one day. These men
are free agents entirely. The
work voluntarily for the wages
agreed upon. They can leave if
they desire. But there is one
thing they can not do-remain in
Chickasha. and not work.-Town

DO NOT RUSH: HENS TO
" 49, MARKET.

After the EMBARGO on the sale
of hens is raised there will PROB
ably be a tendency on the part OF
p0Gltry raisers to rush hens 10
the market. The result of such
action would be to depress prl-
ces, not only on old fowls but on
young poultry. which will then
be just coming to the market.
Farmers and other producers
should guard against this posi-
bility by refraining from selling
hens in any considerable quantity
for market purposes when the
embargo is raised.-J. l.. Prehn,

PURCHASE PUREBRED
BULLS IN LOUISIANA

"Dairymen of Louisiana no
longer have to 60 outside Of the
state in order to secure purebred
bulls for their herds, " says c. H.
Staples, dairy specialist, Exten-
sion Division. L. S. U. During
the last few years several hun
dred purebred Jersey and Hol-
stein cattle of excellent quality
have been shipped into Louisiana.
These cattle were bought with the
idea Of breeding the best herds of
dairy cattle possible in Louis;-
ana, and to sell breeding cattle to
The dairy farmers Of the state.
These herds have become quite
numerous and now there are
enough purbred bulls among them
to furnish many Of the dairymen
who are still using grade bulls. |
These animals are as good as can
be bought in any Of the northern |
states. They can be bought for
less money and at a great saving
in express charges.

LOUISIANA SUGAR CANE
ACREAGE.


Reports from a well selected
list Of over 800 cane growers, tc
the Louisiana field agent of the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture
New Orleans, give reason to be-
lleye that the area under sugar
cane in the "a parishes men,
toned below is approximately
2SO,187 acres this year, as COM
pared with about 293,O83 acres
during the 1917 crop year, a re-
duction of about 5 per cent.
About 50 per cent Of the present
crop is believed to be plant cane.
and the remainder stubble.
The 1918 acreages, expressed in
percentages Of the 1917 acreage
represented by 100 per cent, are
as follows:

growers generally mention
more or less damage to seed cane,
caused by the extreme dryness
last fail and the several freezes
during the winter months, though
not few Of them say it is yet too
early to hazard more than a guess
as to the extent of damage done,
if any. Avoyelles. Rapides, and
Vermilion appear to be the worst
sufferers, the damage to seed cane
in Rapides being placed as high
as 20 per cent and stubble at IS
per cent. But the cane belt, as
a whole. will hardly average over
4 per cent damage to plant and
less than Z per cent to stubble,
acc ording to reports rendered this
office. 'a1rza@c l-aa
The marked decreases in acre
age in the western portion Of the
cane belt are assigned to small
cane growers turning their atten-
ion to other crops in which ther
believe more money can be made,
principally cotton, corn. and rice.

 This great crusade of the Allies from France to the Rhine has been accomplished with scarcely casualty to report since the Germans signed the articles of capitula- ton which went into effect November II.

Those who live today are privileged to receive the glad tidmgs that the armies of the Allied dcmocracics are in the heart of the German empire They have arrived and taken their stations on the greatest of the German arteries of inland commerce.
 Fast stands and sure the watch, the watch ou the Rhine Thus ran the song famed in German lore. The spirit of im- pcual Germany which it brcathcd is now but a memory. A new watch is on the Rhine. It is the watch of freedom, the handspring of which is comprised of the mighty forces of Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and America
 For generations Germany drowned at western civilization from her natural west cru border along the Rhine. Today Ger many witnesses the unusual spectacle of the strougholds of the old Hohenzollen domain under strange new flags.
 French Poilus are on guard at Mainz; Belgian troopers patrol the northern Rhine, while the central positions are swarmmg with British soldiery at Cologne and Americans at Cobenz
 These armies of occupation have taken with them ample equipment to assure their safety in the land of the recent enemy.

 Food

An incentive to the people or Che United States Co extend their war time conservation through the period of world relief is being repeated con- stanuy i'm letters and reports re- ccived lu Washington expressing appreciation for relief work done while territories in Belgium and Northern France were under German occupation and voicing Che heart felt thanks or these people for their liberation and for Che food which enabled them to live through the war.
 One of these letters is from Mon sieur E. Labbc. secretary-genoral of the French National Food Committee of Che North of France, District of Lille. This letter addressed to United States Food Administrator Hoover. as chairman Of Che Conn mission for Relief in Belgium, cx- presses the joy Of delivorancc and gratitude for relief extended to the eight or nine million inhabitants of Northern France during thc past four years. The material aid re- ceiyed by these people Monsieur Labbe declared, brought moral conn fort which enabled them Co bear up under the mlsfortunes of German occupation.
 "At last we are delivored," he writes. But thc joy which swclls our hearts does not make us forget ml Of those who have made bear able this period of bitterness" To- day offers us, on the contrary. the desired occasion for expressing freely our full gratitude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium and Co its chairman We do not yet know an Of Che obstacles which had Go be surmountod in order Go feed for nearly four years from eight Co nine million inhabitants. We are mindful, however, Of some of the difficulties which have been SO happily overcome; and we are not ignorant Of the fact that complex problems have presented themselves at every step and that in each ease tho directors of the Commission for Relief in Belgium have been able, with flrmness and energy, to apply the solution which would be most advantageous to our cause.
 "How can we help admiring an organization which has for SO long time succeeded in supplying the loaf of daily bread to such a mass of consumers? How. moreover, would | it be possible not to feel the llveliest appreciation for the directors of this work who. while assuring Co the un- fortunate inhabitants Of the occu- pied territories such material aid, have brought them through this aid the moral comfort which has en- abled them to bear their misfor- tunes?"
