Thank. the State Press.

There has come to the Banner from
the State Headquarters OF the United
War Work Campaign. New Orleans, an
acknowledgment Of the part the news
papers of the state contributed III the
success OF the campaign, the same
being signed by Mr.. L. r. Bentley,
Chairman of the State Publicity Com
mittee, and Mr.. A. Il. Whidden, Execu-
tive Secretary Of the Publicity Bureau
of the Campaign. 1t does not always
follow that such like aid on the part OF
the newspapers receives notice, and
this acknowledgment, over the sigma
lures Of two well known newspaper
men. should be doubly appreciated by
the editors and publishers Of the state.
1t follows:
Since the United War Work Cam
paign is over. and Louisiana has again
gone over the top permit US to thank
YOU for the valuable assistance you
and your paper contributed.
While results were not as great as
we had hoped for, nor the cause de.
| served, 1t was not because of lack Of
cooperation OF the newspapers.
AS newspapermen we realize that
newspapers are expected to contribute
more Of their talent and stock in trade
than any other business class. and We
are rather proud that always the news.
papers have proved their patriotism
by meeting every call.
We feel that but for the aid Of the
papers. the United War Work agencies
| would not have secured the fund raised
and 10 badly needed to give cheer
some comfort and protection from evi
to our boys.
Your help Is appreciated, and We
| want you to know it. :"

and that the Government is expecting
them to make good thir word, even
though an aFnli,stice has been agreed
upon and the war may soon end.
State Headquarters Ii reminding the
people Of the fact that the war IL vfr-
tually over does not relieve them from
reileeming their War-Savings pledges.
On the other hand. the Government
took the word Of the people as their
bend and has spent the amount for
which they pledged. Now the Govern
ment Is asking to raise this amount,
not only to raise the debt that has been
incurred, but in appreciation Of what
has come to America by the proper
spending of its money.

Louisiana . Pecan state.

l.. y. Z. Press Bulletin.l
The fact that thousands upon thou
sands Of pecan trees are growing in
the state without having had the ben
eft Of any cultural methods whatever
is ample proof that the climate and
soil Of Louisiana are ideal for the pecan
industry, according to h. Szymoniak,
fruit and nut specialist, Extension Di-
vision, Louisiana State University.
All that IL necessary In most cases
to start a pecan orchard, he says is to
transplant into straight rows seedlings
that are already growing In the woods,
which can later be budded or grated
to thin-shell varieties of good quality.
Louisiana farmers and others should
take advantage of the ideal soil and
climatic conditions to plant more pecan
trees and orchards, says Mr.. SzynO-
MAX. The pecan Is comparatively quick
growing and lOng-lived. 1t comes into
bearing at from six to ten years after
transplantins, depending on soil con-
ditions, variety and care gived the
orchard.
Full Information on methods OF
planting and varieties may be obtained
by writingatO the Extension Division,
