DEAN DODSON AGAIN
CALLED TO WASHINGTON

The Louisiana State University has
again been called on to contribute to
war work the services of Prof. w. R.
Dodson, Dean of the College of Agri-
culture and Director Of Experiment
Stations For the period beginning Au-
gust l and ending January l Professor
Dodson will work with the Food Ad-
ministration in the division of agricul-
tural relations. He will have jurisdic-
ton over questions concerning the ad-
ministration of food problems that
touch agriculture, and will act as in
termediary between the Food Admin
istration and the various food-produc-
ing agencies on questions that require
mutual consideration. His wide knowl-
edge of the organization and activities
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, the State agricultural col
leges and the State departments of
agriculture peculiarly fits him for his
new duties.
Professor Dodson was called to
Washington last February by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and placed in charge of a special
campaign for food production in the
Southern States for a period of two
months. The large amount Of food and
feed crops being grown in the South
this year is due in a great measure
to that campaign.

LET COTTAGE CHEESE
TAKE PLACE OF MEAT
This Dish Is Economical, Wholesome
and Delicious.

Let cottage cheese replace
meat pound for pound and extend
eggs. where they are scarce, II you
would economic in your war menus"
says Mrs. Virginia r. Eaton. cottage
cheese specialist. Louisiana State Uni
versity. 1T furnishes a convenient
and economical way to utilize skim
milk as a human food. One pound of
cottage cheese furnishes as much pro-
tein, more mineral Except from and
almost as many Galleries as one pound
of lean meat. or a dozen eggs, and
costs about half as much.
"In this food emergency skim milk
should be used to furnish the greatest
amount of human food and none should
be wasted. 1t does this best when used
direct, as cottage cheese or as butter
milk. Skim milk is used economically
in feeding hogs for pork production
yet when made into cottage cheese ii
furnishes seven times as much pro
tein and nearly as much energy as the
pork that it will produce when fed
with corn. Besides when cottage
cheese is made from skim milk, about
IS per cent remains as whey. which
has about half the value OF skim milk
for hog feeding Let US, therefore, use
as much skim milk as possible for hui
man food and feed only the surplus to
live stock"

Scarcity of Sugar Makes This Indus.
try Especially Important at
This Time.

e. C. Davis, specialist in bee cul-
ture, has been added to the Agricul-
turaI Extension Division Of the Louis
lana State University. Mr.. Davis Is
a native of Louisiana and a practical
bee keeper of long experience. He
has recently spent some time IN
Washington, D. c., investigating the
latest methods Of bee culture.
Louisiana is said to have more
bees in proportion to its size than
any other Southern State, but most
OF the hives produce little honey on
account of poor methods in use. 1t
will be the duty OF Mr.. Davis to as
sist bee keepers who are already in
tho business to improve their apiarie5
and to encourage others who are Ia
vorably situated to take up the work.
The scarcity Of sugar makes the pro
duction of honey Of especial import
ance at the present time.
Those who expect to produce honey
next spring should get in touch with
Mr.. Davis now, as the most important
work in bee culture is done during
the fall and winter. Persons desiring
his assistance should write to the Elk
tension Division, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge, La.

THE NAVAL REVIEW.

It was a welcome such a5 was ex- pected and deserved that was given 10 the American naval fleet which has returned from it's victorious participa- ton in the greatest of wars. There could he no thought of permitting the feet to slide into the Hudson, or any other harbor for that matter, without due recognition of the service which has been performed.
 It is understood Of course that the big ships of the navy did not have oc- cssion 10 measure their strength with the enemy ships, but 1t was neverthe- less due 10 the part which they play cd in strengthening the allied navy that the German navy was forced to surrender without the firing of a shot. From the very moment that this coun- try went into the war the navy has been actively at work. It was ready to step into the conflict at the giving of the signal, and while 1t has not been able, of course. to approach the ac- complishments of the great British navy, that does not by any means be- little the aid which it has rendered.
 A great part O. the service rendered  by the United States navy was con- tributed by the smaller vessels. those possessing speed. and those which be- came at once a serious menace to the J-bOat campaign. Through the help which our destroyers, auxiliary ves- sels and patrol ships gave the effec- hveness of the underwater boats was greatly decreased, while the protec- tion rendered to the transports carry ing our troops was a factor which meant much in the winning of the war.
 It was therefore only fitting that the fleet should receive the rousing well come that it did on it's return. It was @ most unusual occasion and certainly the country was only too glad, along s with New York, to show its prlue an the work of the navy.

CHILD LABOR IN SOUTH.

Tn connection with the conference of committees from the two houses of congress regarding the provisions of the revenue bill it is declared that much opposition is expected to the senate amendment which calls for ten per cent. tax on the product of factories which employ child labor. The representatives in congress from the states where the provision is ex- pected to cause a much needed re- form can be expected to leave no stone umturned to defeat it. Even if such effort does not succeed it can be ex- nected that the United States supreme court will again be asked to pass upon the consttutiona!ity of the legisla- ton, but such does not overcome the need of legislation which will stop the evil.
 According to the report of the fed eral children's bureau concerning an investigation which was made regard ing the child labor conditions in the industries of the state of North Caro- lima it is shown that "91 children be- tween the ages of six and ten were found in five industries including cot ton. and that children of those ages in cotton industries who were working regularly were working eleven hours Q day" Only about tenth of the industries of the state were visited, which being the case it should mean that that state IS employing BIO chill dren less than ten years of age for eleven hours a day.
 That refers to but one state but fl certainly makes it evident that some- thing besides the efforts which are being made in such states in behalf oi the children should be done to correct such conditions. It is preposterous tc think of anyone trying to justify suct industrial conditions, regardless of where they arc found. whether in tht north. south. east or west

LAW AND ORDER.

There cannot fail to be regret ex- pressed at the attitude which was manifested by the colored people of Brooklyn. N. r.. over the effort which was made by proper authority to see that Negro troops ceased their unlaw- full conduct A half hundred Negro soldiers were creating serious trou- ble in a saloon They were appar- cntfy making a shambles of the place when the civil and military police were called upon to quiet the trouble. No steps were taken which were not in every way justified or what would have been necessary had white sol- diers been doing as they were.
 Without consideration for that a good sized mob of colo<ed residents attempted to prevent the arrest of the law breakers. It is to be realized that there have been many instances in the south where the colored man has been grossly discrlminated against because his skin happened to be black. and there too often innocent persons --r- N.-7 vSnTdS7rd fe< Srtzasa Khleh
Norwich bulletin., 1918-12-28

they never ccnmittea 6f fur which they were never given tho right of Q trial.
 But the colored sympathtzers in Brooklyn had no such grievance in this instances for the Negro soldiers were defying the law in several re- spects and the thing to do was to put them where they would not be able to continue their conduct Or to get more liquor. To start a riot under such conditions showed a serious mis- conception of the situation. Certainly the sympathizers can hardly be anx- ious to be chased as law defers and yet that is what their conduct would indicate. The soldiers were taking advantage of their uniforms to defy the law. and regardless of their color and under such conditions the only position which can logically be taken by civilized community is that in support of the authorities who insist that law and order must be main tained,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rebbina the Farmers.

Mir. Editor: Tn these days of profit eers of all kinds there are several kinds of profteering ginks at large that slip by unnoticed and the farmer is the victim. It has become quite fashionable of late to accuse the far raer of being a profiteer also because he gets a !nFing price for his pro- ducts and that mayhap is the reason the tiller Of the soil has been selected by this new style of profteering guy to prey upon.
 He slips along all smiles and sweetness. He works for the gov elnment"-to hear him tell it-and he is buying up logs. white oak most ly for ship timber" Of course if there is hickory log on the lot will take it, he next says, 'Fbut the extra trou- ble in handling at the same price on cak makes it really a loss 10 do so." Sounds nice doesn't 1t? Now. Mir Farmer, there is no class of lumber on earth any more valuable than this same walnut or hickory. The farmers who are listening to the $10 thous- and story of these slick ducks who do not work for the government at all
