The Uncivil w ar.

AS opposed to the civil war be-
tween the states the present world
strife may be known as the uncivil
war. Never before has a belliger-
ent nation been so uncivil as
marks the conduct of the German
empire. Never before has ma
tion calling itself civilized waged
ruthless war upon helpless women
and innocent children. Never be-
fore has such hideous atrocities
been heaped upon captives. AL
ways heretofore unfortified towns
and cities have been respected
Germany respects nothing Truly
this is an uncivil war and Germany
least civil of all. Texas Farm and
Ranch.

farm TRACTORS HELP
INCREASE PRODUCTION
Machines Have Been Improved IN
Many Respects.

Great things are expected of tho
farm tractor in the present food emer-
gency, and it is safe to say that we
shall be absolutely dependent on the
gas tractor for very large part of the
immediate peak load.
THE tractor has passed through a
marked refining process recently. IN
anticipation, it would seem, of the in.
creased demands shortly to be made
upon it, and it will answer satisfaction
lily all reasonable demands" says f..
B. Doran, assistant professor of agron.
omy, L. S. U. "It is ready and wait.
ing to be hitched to the plow or har-
row or drill or binder. 1t has NOT al.
ways been the case that gas engines
and gas tractors were so reliable. But
today just as we ride in our trustv
automobile and never give an anxious
thought to reaching our destination.
with the same confidence we can sit
in the comfortable seat of our equally
reliable friend, the tractor, and look
ahead with assurance to the steady
execution of the many jobs on the
farm which it is so admirably fitted tn
perform.
mo longer does the tractor pack
the ground with its heavy weight. nor
does it require such a large area in
which to turn as heretofore. No more
does it suck into its vitals dust-laden
air to grind and wear and cause use
less waste. 1t cleverly filters all the
air it breathes in one of several in.
genious ways. More and more fre.
quently do We find the tractor with all
gears, pinions, etc., in fact, all moving
parts except the drive and steering
wheels. effectively protected from dust
and provided with abundant and posi-
tive fabrication. 1t is becoming more
business-like and smooth and trim in
appearance, and more confidence win
ming. The tractor is the new found
hired man who doesn't complain or
long hours. The tractor is the new
champion Of the cause of more food"

PROFITABLE Hens
SHOULD Be RETAINED
Indications Point To Good Poultry
Prices Next Fall and Winter.

A large number of Louisiana far
mers were unable to commence their
Matching early enough to procure the
desired number of chicks within the
regular Matching period, according to
John l.. Prehn, Extension Poultry
Husbandman, u. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with L. S. u.
1t is therefore advisable. says Mr..
Prehn, to make up for this shortage
by retaining all profitable hens under
two years old. 1t is essential to Gull
out the drones or slackers among the
hens, but hold and care for the Likely
layers. Records show that the plans
for the 1918 Matching season would
use about 10 per cent less eggs for
that purpose than in 1917. Added to
this we have the fact that most of the
commercial hatcheries of the country
were unable to carry out their plans
because of express congestion, etc. II
is therefore evident that this years
production will be considerably below
normal; and this in the face of greater
requirements assures a good price for
poultry during the fall and winter
months.
On March II there was in this coun-
try about 20 per cent less poultry
than at the same time last year The
Government is urging that every farm
in the country carry as many hens as
can be conveniently handled, so those
farmers who must dispose of profitable
hens during the coming summer
should sell to other farmers who can
care for them. The only poultry that
a patriotic and thrifty farmer would
sell for market during the next six
months are old roosters. no longer re-
quired for breeding purposes; surplus
young roosters, as fryers and soft
roasters, and hens which can not pos
sibly be made to do their bit in the
way of laying eggs.-J. L. Prehn, Ex-
tension Poultry Husbandman, Louisi.

Not only in Germany, but also in

America Making Indigo

Advices from Midland, Micho tell Of
the first production Of indigo from coal
tar in the United States. One thousand
pounds of 20 per cent paste are produced
daily. The annual consumption is in
the neighborhood Of 100000 pounds.
BY 1912 the German makers Of the coal
tar indigo, which is chemically the same
as the product Of the tropical indigo
plants, had driven the natural product
from the worlds markets. The artificial

Uncontirmed reports of rain in Texas
and the official forecasts for rains or
snow with another big drop in temper
atures encouraged moro aggressive
selling in the cotton market ycster-
Gay. On a break of some 80 to 30 points
from Fridays closing figures. the mar
kct met good support from trade
sources. however, and there was a final
spurt of covering by shorts, the clos
ing showing net loss Of only z to IS
points. May contracts broke from sc. or
to 1855 and closed at 1883.
Reports that the Fuel Administrator
had notified Fall River manufacturers
that they should not run on Saturday
afternoons or at nights during the
present emergency tended to unsettlc
the market. but selling did not be-
come at all aggressive until private
reports of rains in Texas were re-
ceived. One Of the features was the
appearance of trade demand for Octo-
ber as the prices approached the 29-
cent level
Weather prophets on the Exchange
said they thought there was better
chance for heavy rains in the central
belt than in droughty sections, and the

in the Southwest has been too prolonged d
to be relieved by anything short Of

to be doubt around the ring as to
whether the present unsettled condi-
tions would result in adequate pre-
cipitation.
There was some talk early tnat the
freight embargo was beginning TO be
felt in scarcity of raw material here
and there. but later advices were re-
ceived from Washington stating that
the embargo would probably be lifted
on Monday.

change has decided to close the Ex-
change tomorrow and on all subsequent
