To Reduce Airplane Explosions.

Airplanes equipped with machine
guns run a certain degree of risk from
an explosion caused by the flame at
the muZzle of the gun. Hence cOnsid-
cradle study has been devoted to OBJ
Waiting this danger, and young Flor
entine chemist is said to have recent
ly given a demonstration before an
Italian military commission of new
powder invented by him which burns
without either fame or smoke and
does not flare on detonation.
Make Your Own Fat Compound.
Many folks object to paying the pres
ent high price for lard, but realize that
at the price of hogs and with the prob
able future demand it is unlikely that
the price will be reduced soon. 1t be-
comes important, then, to find a cheap
er satisfactory substitute. DR.. Louise
Stanley Of the Missouri college of ag-
riculture, suggests that housewives
consider suet as a source OF cheap fat.
Suet has not been as extensively used
as lard on account of it's harder con-
Sistency. 1t can be obtained at about
10 cents a pound. From this can be
obtained IA ounces of pure fat at
cost of L cents a pound. In order to
bring this to the consistency of lard
it is only necessary to add oil in the
proportion of one of oil to two parts
OF suet. This gives compound fat
which is very satisfactory for general
household use. Cottonseed oil or corn
oil can now be obtained at about p
cents a pound. On the basis of the
above proportions a satisfactory lard
substitute can be had at a cost Of II
cents a pound.

Few Lebanon Cedars,

There are now only about 400 of
the cedars of Lebanon left in the
grove from which Solomon obtained
the wood for the Temple at Jerusalem.
The best preserved are about 100 feet
high and Al feet in circumference at
the base. They are more than 1000
years old; in fact, tradition says they
never die, having been planted by God
on the third day of the creation, and
that they will perish only with the end
of the world.

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun.
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been dlsap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur.

not be reached on account of the ship

Most industries using sugar have hai

some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff

Potato Growers Urged
To Store Product

The Extension Division Of the
Louisiana State University, coop
Grating with the Bureau OF Mar
kets, is encouraging sweet potato
growers throughout the state to
store their product. This work is
under the supervision of G. L. Tie
bout, of the ExtensionDivision as
sisted by E. W. Gardere and Rich
ard Neson from the Bureau OF
Markets.
The object of this work is prim-
arily to aid the farmer in saving
his sweet potato crop and also a
food conservation measure.
At present there are 100000
bushels ofsweet potatoes produced
in Louisiana with storage houses
sufficient to adequately preserve
approximately only 100000 bu.
shell. Unless sweet potatoes are
stored properly it is a difficult
task to keep them in good condi-
tion.
ns,speclfications and person
al help can be secured by those
who expect to store sweet potatoes
by writing to the Extension Divi.
