| will do, if mixed together accord.
| ing to the Centreville plan. These
two places contain about 1900
| acres of land, besides some marsh
| and all of it except the marsh has
| been sold to men who will make
| it bloom like a garden. And it is
likely that the latter portion will
be developed and placed under
the pillow.
Messrs. Wooster, Clauses, Grew
emberg and Pharr have opened
the way for farmers to acquire
land on reasonable terms and at
price lower than its real value,
and besides they are owners Of
the surgar factory in proportion
to their land holdings. Thus IT
man has bought 100 acres, he is
also the owner Of one sixteenth OF
the sugar house. which will he
ready to run just as soon as
enough cane can be produced on
the property.
No spectators or profiteers can
buy this land at any price. 1t
went into the hands Of real farm
ers at $50 per acre. and the buy
ers must live there and work the
land. which is as fresh and fertile
as virgin soil. and will produce a
crop right from the start.
This is the only possible place
in Louisiana where such oppor-
tunities were opened for the re-
ward of those who produce the
country's wealth, and mean that
the whole agricultural system of
the country must be changed and
made over. The gang labor sys-
tenn on the wage basis cannot go
further. 1t is reaching it's end
every day. Those who titled the
coil as laborers have gone to the
front and they are not coming
back to accept for a days labor
what will buy a third shoulder Of
meat and small one at that.
The man who pilots the pillow IN
the future will be interested in
his own earning capacity. He
will either own or lease the land.
The colored laborer is withdraw
ing from the fields and the work
of making the land smile with
wealth must be taken up by the
white men, just as it is done in the
Centreville community, the mem
bers of which are on the way Of
being the most prosperous and
wealthy in the south.
Other communities in St. Mary
may follow the lead and become
wealthy in proportion to the
brains and energy applied to the
work. Baldwin, the Cypremort
country and the Clarendon bend
present peculiarly favorable adj
vantages, and the way to open
the route is to offer the land,
which is largely non-productive
at present. or producing only
about half a crop. to farmers only,
and give them chance to paw for
it or lease it under favorable con-
ditions, and this parish will make
enough to feed the state of Louis

is believed that they will endeavor to
bring the Allies to stop somewhere
along the present line. The fighting
has been fast and furious. The Huns
were forced out into the open and
they have had to stand up and take
their medicine or else take to their
heels. The Americans like to fight
out in the open, but the Heinies dig
in at every chance. That the Germans
must have suffered heavy losses is de-
termined by the vast number of dead
they left on the fields. While the
Germans suffered total loss estimat-
ed at 100000, there are only 10000
Hun prisoners. The military critic
in the New York Times, however, es-
Inmates that the loss of the Allies
must have been almost if not quite
as heavy as the German losses. Foch
must have some good reason for MAX
ing this counter offensive. He GER
tainly would not sacrifice his men just
to drive the Huns out of a territory
that has already been devastated and
territory that has no immediate
strategic value. The main business of
this war is to kill German soldiers
and if Foch has succeeded in killing or
capturing great many more men
than the Allies have lost, then the
counter offensive has been a success.
Just at this time, the Allies cannot at
ford to trade off any men and Foch
will probably content himself with a
defensive fight until the vast Ameri-
can army is on the battlefield. The
Huns must be driven back beyond the
Rhine before we can ever hope to OBJ
tain the kind Of peace for which we
are fighting. We could obtain peace
any day which would look mighty
good on the face Of it, but Germany
would be left free TO do what she de-
sires with Russia. The whole world
would still be under the heel Of mil
itarism and not a fit place in which
to live. One thing that the Allied
counter offensive will do, however, is
to reduce the German morale. The
Huns had attacked us with their pick
ed men and they intended fully to
smash thru our lines. They have
learned that the French army is still
capable of putting up a great fight
and that the Americans are not
afraid Hereafter, they will have more
respect for the Allied armies. The
situation today may be said to have
reached it's critical stage. The Ger
mans have massed an immense army
of their best soldiers and the fight for
supremacy is soon to take place. 1t
looks like the bloodiest battle of the
war is at hand.

is going to be an abundance of feed
and many farmers who were contem-
plating marketing their cattle will be
able to take all of their stock except
the surplus, thru the winter. It
would not be surprising if many fields
of oats average forty or fifty bushels
per. acre, and oats straw makes good
feed. Speltz is another good crop.
Speltz beats barley as rule, for it
stools out better, and stands drouth
better than barley. Flax will be a
dandy crop. Potatoes and late garden
truck will yield we'll. Many bushels
of early potatoes are being marketed
in Minot by the growers for 60 cents
a peck. Taken in all, this section OF
North Dakota is harvesting a very
fair crop for which we are all mighty
thankful to the Almighty.

The German rout from the Scissors
Rheims salient is proceeding satisfac-
torily to the Allies, according to re-
ports received late today. The Ger
mans have been elected from more
than half of the salient and are now
twelve miles farther away from Paris.
The Americans have taken Fere-en-
Tardencis, which was the main Ger
man base Of supplies for the salient.
The Huns managed to get most of
their big guns out, but had to leave
a vast quantity of ammunition, in
Guiding a great many of the larger
shells which will now be turned
against the enemy. The army of the
Crown Prince was in a very dangerous
position for several days, it being es-
timated that he had fully 100000 SOL
diers in the salient. The Allies press
ed forward towards the top Of the
pocket, making such gains that it
looked for a time as tho many Huns
would be trapped. Reports were cur
rent that the Crown Prince and his
main army had been trapped, but it
now seems that he was able to get
away with the main army. The
Crown Prince has received strong re-
Inducements and it is now estimated
that he has a million men fighting
along the line between Scissors and
Rheims. The Germans are thus able
to put up stronger resistance and it
