RICE CROP AS A
/ MONEY MAKER
Is Far Outdistanced by the Humble
Sweet Potato.

All you old heads take notice. P. F..
Louviere entered the pursuit of agri-
cultural this season, cultivating a
considerable rice crop. During spare
moments some small stuff, such as
WatermelOns, sweet potatoes, cts.
His success in the latter venture are
we'll worth calling attention to in as
much as samples of his product will
be exhibited at the parish and State
fair.
One of Mr.. Louviere's potatoes, of
the Nancy White yam variety, may be
seen in the Journal office display
window, where samples of the
country's best produce is always well
come and attracts much attention
This potato weight 6 ga pounds.
The size of this potato is, however
not the important feature of the
crop. From 80 rows IA yards long
Mr.. Louviere has dug 5 3-4 barrels
Figuring this out we find that on thai
basis the potatoes have a money
value of S448.50 per acre.

FOOTBALL BATTLE
SATURDAY, NOV. 2

Football Day will be celebrated at
the State Fair Of Louisiana Satur.
day, November 2, with the annual con-
test between the University of Arkan-
sas and the University of Louisiana
as the stellar attraction.
For several years these universities
have been fighting their annual grid
iron battles at Shreveport during
the State Fair, with thousands OF col
lege boys and girls and former col
, Iegians on hama to cheer and root
for their favorites. This years game
promises to be no exception-unless
the attendance is larger and the in
terest keener. The teams prepare
for this battle as one Of the most I'M
portant of the season, and the contest
November 2 this year will no doubt
20 down in their annals as one mark
ed with tremendously hard lighting
| for the honors.
In addition to the Arkansas'Louls'
lana game there will be many other
special attractions for the school and
college students, and School and Col
lege Day, as usual, is expected to
prove one of the biggest days at the
fair. Valuable lessons in production
and conservation and other things
helpful in winning the war will be
learned by the young folks as well as
nv those who have finished schoo

BOYS WORKING RESERVE
TO ORGANIZE SATURDAY

Under the direction Of Prof. VIM
A. McGuff of the Welsh High school,
the local division of the Boys Work
ing Reserve will be organized at the
Masonic hall tomorrow Saturday
morning, beginning at 900 o'clock.
Only boys who reached their SIX
teenth birthday and not their twenty
first are eligible as members. The
new draft regulations 10 not bar
boys from l8 to Il from this organ
i2atior.
The purposes of the organization
are an obligation on the part of the
boys to work, whenever possible on
their fathers farms or essential in
Gustries, or to work whenever posi-
BILE for hire on the farms or in the
essential industries, with the view of
Increasing food production or other
products needed in the prosecution
Of the war.
The War Department has approved
8 uniform which may be worn by the
boys, the uniform at present costing
5000. The war department is con-
sidering the furnishing of these uni
forms free to the boys who join the
organization.
Boys who work a certain number
Of days during the year on the farm
or i'll essential industries will be Ell,
titled to wear certain insignia ap'
proved by the War department.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1918-09-27

states has already rendered most ex-
cellent service. Last summer the
boys were brought together at con-
Venient centers and given intensive
training in agricultural operations,
and were then distributed to farms
needing help in planting and harvest
ing. On account of the short cotton
crop, it may be that the services Of
our boys who are not now needed
away from home, but in these times
of unsettled labor conditions there is
no predicting what the conditions Will
be next year. Should our boys be
required to assist at planting, cult
waiting, and harvesting the crops next
season, VIC must be prepared, to
have them render the service, and
the Boys Working Reserve can he C.
graa5 help in providing such needed
labor.
s. Allow me to urge that the prin-
clpal of every school in your parish he
required to enroll, as far as possible,
every boy in his school between the
ages of sixteen and twenty-one, and
that you organize to reach, as far as
possible, the boys of these ages, both
white and colored, who are not in
school.
9. The enrolment cards when filled
out should be turned over to the
Chairman of the Parish Council of
Defense. September % has been set
apart as the date for the enrolment
of boys in the B. W. R., but the work
Of enrolment should by all means be
continued after that date should this
BE- necessary to reach all of the boys
who can be brought into this organi-
Zation.
10. It should be explained that in
no case will there be an effort to in
duce boys to leave their homes to
work for others without the consent
of their parents. As a matter of fact,
our principal efforts, for the present
at least, will probably be directed to-
ward inducing our boys to work en-
Enthusiastically at food production on
their fathers farms.
Yours very truly,

Director for Louisiana, Boys Work
| ing Reserve.

NEW AGRICULTURAL
BUILDING ERECTED

The most important improvement
at the Louisiana State Fair grounds
this year is the erection OF NAM
moth new agricultural building,
known as the Louis N. Brueggerhotf
Memorial Hall, in honor of the late
Mr.. Brueggerhoff, for several years
secretary of the State Fair.
This building, which will meet a.
long felt want due to the rapid growth
of the agricultural exhibits, repre-
sents an expenditure of approximate
ly $4,000. 1t is constructed Of brick
with terra Gotta trimmings and clas-
sic in style, and is the largest struc'
ture on the grounds. 1t is ESQ feet
long and 100 wide, with center aisle

is a wide triple entrance, and three
single entrances at each side. There
is ample space for all of the parish
fair booths, the Junior Extension e1-
hibits, State University exhibits and
all other agricultural displays.
A combination lecture and moving
picture booth, or room 3Ox60 feet has
been provided especially for use by
the Junior Extension Department OF
the University, and there are also an
Office for the officials and assistants
in charge, and a rest room for the
lady attendants.
l. In erecting this mammoth building
this year, the Fair Association mac
in mind not only the Importance OF
encouraging agricultural progress a
all times. but of giving special en-
enlargement while. the nation Is a.

is record breaking
