Louisiana Notes
Get Back To Corn Bread


For some reason that is hard to
understand corn bread, which was
used in practically every family in
the south a few years ago, has rare
ly been found on the tables of the
southern people during recent years,
especially in the towns and cities.
Perhaps the modern tendency to
let the other fellow do the work,
which was resulted in the average
family's relying on the baker to a
far greater extent, has contributed
more largely than anything else to
the abdication of corn bread in fav-
or of bread made with wheat flour.
There are now living in the south
thousands of men and women who
grew up to belie:c that corn bread
was the real staff of life, and that
wheat bread was a luxury.
Now that the war has made it re
cesssry that we ship every ounce of
flour that we can spare to our SOL
d'e-s a:n ,r lies in E,'opc, let US
Get "a. 70 f;rst princirl, again and
eat corn bread.
BY the way, the eating of corn
bread is by no means hardship, if
it is made by one who knows how

FARMERS PROSPECTS
Were Never Brighter, Says County
Agent Frank BOyd-Big Wheat
Average Expected.

Mr.. Boyd, the County Agent, when
interviewed last Saturday said the
prospect of the farmers were never
brighter than at present
The wheat crop is way above the
average and it looks as though they
will get 25 to 80 bushel average.
There is an abundance of grass in
the pasture fields for the stock and
the stock has done exceedingly we'll.
The tobacco planting is progressing
very nicely especially where the
farmers can use tobacco settlers some
few have planted their whole crop.
From the standpoint of production
the outlook of the Allied powers for
great grain crops is at the present
time unusually bright.
The United States Department of
Agriculture in its May crop report es
Inmates yield of 572,539 900 bushels
tudu WuiCh VIC hdNt htNcl ldiocu III
our whole history more than two
larger crops. A rye crop of S2,62O,00G
bushels is predicted which is more
than third larger than last years
crop. 1t is stated that the wheat av-
.erage in France is rs per cent. above
last year; in England Is per cent; in
Scotland 21.S per cent; Tunis 10 per
cent. and India, 10 per cent. An even
better showing for oats is predicted
- Uncle Sam can depend upon his
farmers to do their share in respond
ing to any appeal to aid the govern
ment. Commissioner Holton Key was
in Bracken county Wednesday and
said every farmer was cultivating a
far greater acreage than ever before.
When asked how they were solving
the labor problem he said: "They are
working early and late and pooling
their efforts as much as possible" It's
going to be hard year on the farm
er but we believe he will be equal to
the task.
