TO The SISTER

o.
You were only a kid, little sister,
When I started over the sea,
But you've grown quite a lot since I
came here,
And you've written q letter to me
It's secret. and we'll keep it we'll,
Your brother and you and the ocean,
And nobody's going to tell.
You were only tot when left you,
remember I bade you good-by.
And kissed you, g. little bit flustered,
And you promised you never would cry.
But know that you cried, little sister,
AS soon as I'd gone out the door.
And did cry myself; I'm a soldier.
So don't ask me anything more.
think of you often, kid sister
You're the only kid sister I've got
know you'll be good to your mother,
And know that you'll help her a lot.
And whenever she seems to be gloomy,
You've just got to cheer her somehow,
You were only a kid to your brother.
But you're more than the world to him
From Stars and Stripes, France.

GIRLS RAISING
POULTRY

Poultry raising is excellent work
for the girls In the home. 1t affords
exercise in the open, allows an op-
portunity for the girls to earn spend
ing money and train their minds In
animal husbandry and the economy of
production. 81. ...
Poultry raising under the supervi.
sion Of some girls is very profitable.
With all the facilities for raising
fowls that may be found on most
farms the girls have opportunities for
building up pleasant and profitable
industry.
One of the faults Of our economic
system of farming Is that it does not
afford adequate opportunity for the
girls to become efficient, self-support-
ing and Independent when this be.
comes necessary. BY giving the girls
"A chance with poultry they may earn
enough to. support themselves if nee
essary, even pay their way through

Startling Defects Develop
in Rigorous Aviation Tests
for Air Service in Army

That a startling percentage of men
now being accepted for air service
have hidden physical weaknesses that
may prove their undoing is indicated
by new scientific tests that have been
made on large number of newly en-
listed airmen, says John Arson Ford
in Popular Mechanics Magazine. These
tests, which reveal so much Of vital
import for our armies, have been made
by a Chicago specialist, Capt. Charles
Moore Robertson of the Medical Re-
serve corps, who has fitted up for the
purpose cabinet in which each fier-
to-be was placed and subjected to at
mospheric conditions Identical, so far
as pressure is concerned, with those
obtaining in flying, the air being rare
fed by means of powerful pump.
Each man was examined both before
and after being confined In the cabinet,
each examination consisting in taking
the blood pressure, ascertaining the
muscle tone by measuring the dura-
ton Of one nerve impulse with dyna-
mometer and stop watch, and in re-
volving the subject In pivoted chair.
The records show that the first. ex-
aminations gave no indication of the
condition that would exist after the
flight" over % per cent of the men
proving unfit, according to these tests.
For this reason it is strongly contended
that q most serious mistake is being
made in accepting men for air service
merely on the basis of physical ex-
animation made without taking into
account the effect of sudden changes Of
air pressure. - 49,

Big Increase in the Maple
Sugar and Strip Production
In 1918 Over Previous Year

The maple sugar crop Of 1918 In the
Is states, which include nearly all the
producing region, was 13,27O,9OO
pounds, and the strip production was
AGO., 200 gallons, according to the gov
eminent market report. The total Of
sugar and strip, counting one gallon
Of strip as equivalent to eight pounds
of sugar, would be 52512.5OO pounds
of sugar. The production in 1917 was
1O,939,65O pounds of sugar and 1885,.
100 gallons of strip, both being equiv
alent to 45,127, 400 pounds Of sugar.
The 10 states covered by this report
produced about 80 per cent of the to-
tai maple sugar and sirup in the GEN.
sus year 1909. IT, .- ~
The principal region of production
extends from northwestern Ohio
through New York to Vermont and in
eludes parts Of Maine, New Hamp.
shire, Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania. Outside Of this region there
is also production of Importance in
the mountain country beginning with
the southern counties Of Pennsylvania
and extending through western Mary
land into scattered localities In West
Virginia; also in parts of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Indiana. =.
The increased demand and higher
prices for maple sugar and strip help
ed to cause a larger number of
trees to be tapped in 1918 than in
1917, or even in 1909. A total of 49,
29s, 200 trees were tapped in 1918, Of
which 15618,O00, or 81 per cent, were
in the four states of Vermont, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Weather conditions in the northern
part of the sugar region, namely, in
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan, were favorable.
There were cold nights alternating
with warmer days. -,

TRIED AND NOT FOUND
WANTING

There are no arguments against
"Votes for Women" and this is par
ticularly true in America. In Eng
land Premier Asquith offered the best
one, yet it went down under the test.
His stand was that in the event of
war, women would lack determine
ton to see it through and would per-
nit their feelings as mothers, wives
and sisters to get the better of them
and bring terrible consequences to
the nation. The war came and the
heroism, patriotism and endurance of
English women has not only fur
,nished material aid but inspired Eng
lish men to do more and still more
for the crown. They have earned
their votes and their most powerful
opponent, Mr.. Asquith, acknowledged
his error of estimate in woman's char
acter by voting in favor when the
House Of Commons voted to give
English women their citizenship.

STATE FAIR SHOULD BE
THE BEST EVER HELD

It is highly important that there
should be no slackening of effort to
make the 1913 Louisiana State Fair
the best that has ever been held, ac-
cording to Prof. w. r. Dodson, dean
and director, Louisiana State Univer-
sity.
"The encouragement of dry wealth
er should not cause the farmers to
feel inclined not to send exhibits"
says Professor Dodson. 'More stress
is now being laid upon the Importance
of agriculture than we haveever seen
before.
cat no time in history has food
production been more important and
prices are remunerative. No patriotic
person should lessen his enthusiasm
in helping make the State Fair a sue
cess. If his crops or his live stock are
not as good as he expected, he is
facing the same problem as his neigh
bors.
ut would be contrary to the es-
sential spirit of the times to weaken
in any of our enterprises because of
a temporary encouragement. Our
boys across the sea are showing a
spirit that will put US to shame if we
weaken in any endeavor to produce
food or encourage production and
conservation.
PERSONALLY, I wish to emphatically
urge all previous exhibitors to do their
best to have the biggest, the most in
structive and attractive exhibits of
all kinds Of farm products they can
get together, and that they try to get
new exhibitors and the larpest at
tendance the Fair has ever had"

MAKE THE WASTE
LAND PRODUCE FOOD

On nearly every Louisiana farm
there is some land that is either not
used at all or is used in such way
as to produce very little. On many
farms there are patches of low land
which cannot be titled because they
are to wet. Usually when drained
these wet areas are the richest land
on the farm.
Just at present, when the cry of
the world is for food and more food,
the product Of these idle acres is
needed. This is an excellent time to
put them into use. Small patches of
wet land can often be drained at lit
tie expense. Between now and the

DEMONSTRATION AGENT
URGES FARMERS MEETS

W. II. Humble, farm demonstration
agent of Rapides parish, believes that
farmers should get together. In re
cent circular letter addressed to his
demonstrators he mentions many
farm problems which should be dis
cussed at farmers meetings and tells
how cooperation in buying and sell
ing could be made profitable. People
IN all other lines Of business got to-,
gether long ago, he says, and it is ND
to the farmers to do likewise. They
should hold meetings:
To discuss the shipping of cattle
and hogs comparatively, when and
where to, ship to get thebest prices;
To discuss the purchase of BINDERS
and threshers comparatively, in order
to get the best results from oat and
wheat planting;
To discuss the labor question, a
problem that confronts every farmer:
To discuss the purchase and use of
commercial fertilizers;
10 discuss the purchase of seed for
planting;
10 discuss the preparation and cul-
tlvation OF land in order to raise the
most crops
He urges the farmers to join the
parish council of defense, to see that
everybody works and that there are
no slackers.-L. S. U. Press Bulletin.
