ONE MOHt SOW
1N EVERY Farm:
Would Increabe Louisisna's Pork Pre-
duction Bb 100000 Pounds.

Arg&<-a. Hoover, the de
mafids o. ON Tor our pork prosf
ucts during ANt. three months
will be $50, oOdEoo pounds per month
as compared 10 10000, 900 pounds in
pre-war timed And to accomplish
this he estimates it will require Q say
ing of at lea9l 25 per cent in these
products.
The question arises, therefore. VIII
should Louisiana contribute TOWARD
this large demand Of our associates in
war for these products?
Figures do mot always tell tn
whole truth, but they may serve 2
useful purpose in endeavering to
reach an approximation.
Louisiana isl said to have at least
100000 acres of arabic or cultivaDl-
land. If we should figure a farm
holding at 800 acres, this would give
the state approximately 1880 farms
Of $50 acres och. If only one BROOD
SOW should be added 20 each farm. il
would give an increase Of 33,Sj'
sows II each, SOW should ferrow ar
average Of FIVE pigs at litter twice
year, it would give an increase o'
$4,000 pigs, which, at the average
weight Of 100 pounds each, would give
33,350, 900 pounds of pork. But If only
half Of the pigs, representing the male
progeny, should be turned into pork.
and the SOW pigs kept for breeding
purposes, it Would still give 1858 0o
pounds of porH at 160 pounds per pig
Just think what a contribution
louisiana could mei;e in 4 very short
time, to the Urgent demands of or
allies for pork products, if only one
SOW should bel added 10 each $50
acres OF the eultiVable land in the
state.
OF course Ia is not possible TO So
cure 100 per cent success on a calcu-
letion of this Rid as there are nu-
merous factors thai would arise 10
prevent its accomplishment. But the
figures are nefr enough, and impress
flve enough, 10 warrant attention
being drawn 50 the subject at this
time, when the Importance Of food
seems to ove9shadow almost every
hing else connected with the war and
its succ- ssful termination. Our ia N.

Charles Darwin was a mlsft child,
miStit youth, and a misft in young

into the paths Of his natural capacl-
ties he soon became the foremost nat
nraliSt Of his age and probably of any

Emerson was an educational miSfit,

NO. 22-cARBAGE IN EVERY WAR

NO. 22-cABBAGE IN EVERY WAR
GARDEN
Humorists have made a great deal
of fun over cabbage, but in spite of
this it should fnd place in every
home garden, says today's bulletin
from the National War Garden Com
mission Fight the Germans with
their own weapons and raise cab
hage, which is easily grown and is
good food, both as fresh vegetable
and made into sauer kraut.
Cabbage will stand considerable
cold, and If plants have not been
grown in seed box in the house
they may be obtained from seedsmen
or neighbors who raise a few plants
to sell. Use short, stocky plants,
rather than spindling ones
If the weather is wet and hot whea
the heads are maturing and they be-
gin to burst, the whole plant should
be. pulled upward and sidewise enough
to break some of the roots. This
checks the tendency to crack.
Summer cabbage makes just as
good sauer kraut as winter cabbage.
and should be used for this purpose.
Some good varieties are Jersey
Wakefield, Charleston Wakefield, All
head Early and Succession
The fall crop of cabbage should be
started in the late summer and be
planted IN the garden as soon as It
is large enough. This makes good cul-
tivation and manure to keep it grow
ing rapidly. The early varieties al.
ready named and Flat Dutch and
Danish Ball Head are the ones for
fall use.
Brussels sprouts, says the bulletin
are handled in the same way as cab
bage. They are much like cabbage
except that there are many very
small heads clustered along the
stem among the leaves, If the leaves
crowd the small heads, all except a
few top leaves should be broken off.
