animation is necessary Standard

steady, and all who enroll will be as
sured of the fair treatment which

ernment, now in war, finds it necss-
sary to Immediately increase the ship-

and
Whereas, the War Department has
requested each state to furnish its

for this particular service in helping
to win the great struggle for liberty,

proclamation calling upon all loyal
citizens Of Louisiana to aid, assist

IRISH POTATOES,
Increased Yield Necessary This " ear

The war has created great de-
lmand for Irish potatoes The people
lof this country have just begun t.
realize their opportunity for growing
this crop, not only as food crop for
home use, but as All excellent one For
market, wherever suitable conditions
prevail
The potato is used very extensively
for food, comprising about rs per
cent Of the food of European and
English speaking peoples. When the
potato crop in some sections Of
Europe fails there is famine, as was
the case between 1910 and 1860 in
Ireland,
Our average yield Is low compared
to that of the European countries.
For instance, our average yield is s9.3
bushels per acre, while that of Ger
many is 1917. 5 bushels, and Of Great
Britain 1864 bushels.
In view Of the high cost Of fertilizer
and labor, it is necessary for the po-
tato grower to put forth extra effort
to increase the yield of his crop over
that Of previous years, so as to realizs
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OIt HIS CL0A1 ssiaA
outlay.
In purchasing seed stock growers
should be careful to see that thas ta-
| bers are free from diseases.
Homegrown seed from the fall bar
vest is used to some extent. As d
lrule it is quite free Of scab and other
diseases. Though the crop from this
seed is usually little later than froia
northern grown seed, still the yield is
Frequently greater.
Early Irish potatoes require q
Eretentive soil, and should not bs
planted on cold, poorly drained,
heavy soils
| Since conditions are so different it
| is not practical to state definitely what
fertilizer should be used for potatoes.
But, as general rule, it may be said
that cotton seed meal and acid phos-
phate in varying proportions and
quantities per acre, would in most in
stances meet the general requirements
of the crop.
The seed should always be treated
with formaldehyde, as the scah is, gen
orally found on the seed potato stock
The solution is made by mixing ona
pint of commercial formaldehyde with
thirty gallons of water, and in this ths
lseed potatoes should be soaked TO,
two hours.

COMPLETE COMEBACK"

Louisiana Planter, February 9.

Louisiana Planter. February 9.
The Salisbury factory of the Leber-
muth and other st. James and Ascen-
sion sugar interests will have its
grinding season of 1918 considerably
increased over that of 1917 and pre-
vious seasons. The owners of the
house have just closed fve-year con-
tract with the Lemanns of Asc cension
for all Of the cane produced on the
several plantations Of the Lemanns in
the latter parish, which will aggregate
approximately 10000 tons. The last
season at Salisbury was the largest in
its history, when something like 3d.
600 or more tons sf cane were
ground there.
The contract with the Lemanns fol
lows the incorporating by the latter
Of three very large planting COM
panies to take over and again put
their former well known plantations
into the extensive cultivation of su-
gar cane The first company incorpo-
rated by them was the Peytavin Plant
ing Company, with capital of $175,-
600, to work up their Peytavin place.
This took place a week ago. In the
week just ended announcement was
made by them of the incorporation of
the Belle Terre, Inc, with capital of
$200,00O,, and the Palo Alto, Inc,
with a capital Of 100000.
1t was at first thought the Lemanns'
plans involved the re-erection of a
big sugar central to replace their old
Palo Alto house, which they disposed
of to Cuba during the fearful free
sugar days at time when they had to
sell it to straighten out some of their
financial difficulties brought about by
the threatened free listing of sugar
by the federal government. 1t has
been learned from several sources,
however, all of them authentic, that
the building Of sugar house is not
now contemplated, and the contract
with Salisbury would seem to signify
that there will be no such develop
ment for some time to come.
These three interpretations for a
combined capitalization of $675,OO0
are indicative of their complete
Comeback" into the sugar business
in Louisiana, and, as they were al
ways identified with every movement
inaugurated for the agricultural and
other progress Of the industry, their
comeback" is source of much
satisfaction to their many well
wishers in the ranks of the great Lou
isiana army of sugar workers.
What has been so impressively in
dicated by the instance of the Le-
manns is typical Of the awakening of
every other "free sugar" injured dis
trict in Louisiana, present prospects
apparently guaranteeing fair prices
for some years to come

S. B. Hicks, food administrator for

Clarence Ellerbe, administrator for
Caddo parish, and large number of
farmers, bankers, and merchants in
that section have signed pledges for
themselves and tenants to plant one
acre of corn to every two acres Of
cotton. The motive is to raise
enough corn to feed all the people
and stock, SO that the cotton section
will not take any food away from any
other section. "We have the land,

Every laying hen sold from the

loss of about 80 eggs to the food
supply of the nation. These eggs are
valuable food, manufactured largely
from insects, weeds, and grass, gar
bage and waste The eggs, therefore,
are almost wholly net gain in hui
man food. Moreover, the hen is Just

The hand-knit sweater is an expen-r
sive affair as compared to machine
knit garments. The cost of labor
makes it so. This is where the oppor-
tunity lies for women who can knit
and make their own sweaters.
Knitted silk sweater-coats for spring
have already been launched. One Of
the new models looks like a Norfolk,
jacket. 1t fastens at the front with
buttons and has a belt that dips at the
front, made of the knitted silk. This

No matter how much money she may

is every chance of comfort out of doors
mufiied up in furs to the ears, as
against next to none in a fireless in
doors. Even bed and lounge coverings
and lounge pillows are reported to be
made of felts. Everywhere the cheap
er felts prove a more than satisfactory
substitute for wool, which is scarce.
In the face of all these considera-
lions furriers have distinguished them
selves by providing handsome gar
ments from the inexpensive skins.
Coats with wide collars, deep cuffs and
borders that extend up to the knees
or higher, make a silk garment warm
and save wool in mid-winter coats.
No n inquiries too closely into the
origin of furs that look well and cost
little; they are just as fashionable
as sables OF ermine.

The manufacturers of knitted gar
ments, specializing in the particular
line of work, bring out new styles in
sweaters, sweater coats, bathing suits,
and all other garments shaped to the
figures in the machines that make
them, with the return of each spring
and fall season. Sweaters and sweat
er coats probably furnish the bulk
of their business. No member of the
up-to-date family undertakes to face
the winter, or the summer either, with
out a sweater. Even the baby tod
dies out clad in knitted garments from
head to foot.
It usually falls to the lot of moth
ers to select and buy all these gar
ments, hence she is interested in the
styles for boys and young men, as well
as In those for girls and women. A
sweater for the schoolboy with cap to
match is shown in the picture. 1t is a
familiar model sure to please the
youth, especially if 1t can be had in
his school colors." 1t is a sweater
coat, b%uttoning down the front, provid-
ed with rolling collar and patch peck

without a coat over 1t.
