Additional Sugar for Foreign Demands.
After a careful survey of the
sugar situation the Food Admin
istration in June stated that If
the requirments outlined for the
civil population were adhered to
there would be no sugar famine.
Since this statement was made
new foreign demands have been
received; but these were met by
dropping our ration, August l.
from 8 to 2 pounds per month
per person for home use. Public
eating places may therefore
serve only 2 pounds for every 90
meals. This includes sugar used
in preparation of food, as well
as that served at table.

Field Selected Seed Improves Corr
Yield.

Field Selected Seed Improves Corn
Yield.
Seed corn should be selected
from stalks standing where they
grew, because only then, with
certainty, can seed be obtained
from
Stalks that have a tendency to
yield we'll. as shown by their
superiority over surrounding
stalks that grew under the same
conditions. Such seed inherits
high producing power.
Stalks without suckers. Such
seed produces fewer suckers
than seeds from sucker-bearing
stalks.
Storm-proof stalks with ears
at a suitable height.
Seed corn should be selected
as soon as it natures, because
; Desirable stalks, especially
early maturing stalks with hang
ing ears, are then most easily
found.
Warm, wet weather may cause
kernels to sprout before drying.
If the selection is delayed the
ears may become infested with
weevils, grain moths, and their
eggs.
It is as easy, more satisfactory,
and much more profitable than
selecting from cribs. in the
spring. L. S. U. Press Bulletin,

COlfax's Largest Store
Save Food, Build Up Reserves.

I'VE can not administer the
food problem on the basis of one
years war. We must prepare
for its long continuance if we
are to insure absolute victory,
declare the Food Controllers of
the United States. France. Italy
and Great Britain in a joint reso-
luton adopted at their confer
ence in London. The resolution,
which was cabled to the United
States Food Administration. en-
phasizes the necessity of build
ing up reserves in North Ameri-
ca as an insurance against possi-
BILE crop failures here and else
where and the diminution of ag-
ricultural labor. The resolution
follows:
Resolved, That while the in
creased production Of the United
States renders it possible to relax
some of the restrictions which
have borne with peculiar hard
ship upon all our peoples, yet it
is absolutely necessary that rigid
economy and elimination of waste
in the consumption and handling
of all foodstuffs. as well as in
creased production, should be
maintained throughout the Euro
pean allied countries and in North
America. It is only by such
economy and elimination of waste
that the transportation of the
necessary men and supplies from
North America to the European
front can be accomplished and
that stocks of foodstuffs can be
built up in North America as an
insurance against the ever-pres-
|ent danger of harvest failure and
the possible necessity for large
and emergency drafts to Europe.
I'VE can not administer the food
problem on the basis of one years
war, We must prepare for its
long continuance if we are to in.

Are the Wholesalers or Retailers Prof.
teering?
A circular issued from the New
Orleans Office of John M. Parker,
State Food Administrator, Aug.
q, says:
"The enforced conservation of sugar
has increased the temptation to profit
upon those eager to obtain more than
the small but sufficient quantity per-
mitted. The public. however is in this
case amply able to protect itself by
merely cooperating with the Food Ad-
ministration. Because Mr.. Hoover's
department. is Represented on the inter-
national committee, which is the largest
purchaser of sugar in the world, it is
able to regulate prices and profit from
the factory to the table. Retail deal
ers are held to profit of 1c pound.
and a. the wholesale price is below &c
even transportation. hauling and hand
ling costs in the most isolated sections
should not force the consumer to pay
much over Sc q pound. Some of the
prices which have been exacted are
plain profiteering and the transaction
will enable the Food Administration to
take prompt action. One such case.
that of A. C. Rivers, of Alexandria.
was reported to C. F. Crockett, the
district administrator, and he imposed
9 SIS Red Cross fine to underwrite the
pledge to profiteer no more. Rivers
charged l2l cents for sugar.
Inquiry among the merchants
Of Colfax develops the fact that
some of them have been selling
sugar at IL cents and also that
merchants in other parts of Grant
parish have been charging in ex-
cess of 10c. When remonstrat-
ed with. the retail merchants as
sert that the wholesale mer-
chants have been charging them
so much for sugar they could
not save themselves and sell at
10c q pound.
This is a matter that calls for
investigation on the part of Mr..
c. F. Crockett, administrator
for the Alexandria district. We
wish to know whether the whole
salers or retailers are engaged
in profiteering, since most of the
Grant parish people are being
forced to pay over ten cents for
sugar for the past few days.
