SMALL FARMER CAN
NOW HAVE PUREBREEDS

Time was, and not so long ago,
when the small farmer could not af-
ford to breed purebred animals.
The time has come--just now,
perhaps-when the small farmer can
hardly afford not to breed pure
bred animals, and at least he
should use purebred sires.
That is particularly true if his
line of livestock is cows and, more
particularly, if they are dairy cows,
according to men in the United
States department of agriculture
who have given their lives to the
study of dairy farming.
What brought about the change?
Principally, community organization.
The small farmer who has to ope-
rate alone and unaided, as practi-
cally all Louisiana farmers did ten
years ago, has a rocky road if he
aspires to purebred stock. Now

small farmer does not stand alone,
and he has all kinds of aids. There,
to start with, is the parish agent,
ready to bring the accumulation Of
expert knowledge to bear on the
problems of the small farmer. In
an increasing number of parishes
there are breeders of livestock, from
whom foundation material may be
obtained at less cost than what 9th
er sources would cost him. And,
finally, a start has been made to-
ward organizing cooperative bull as
sOciations, which movement, if car
ried out in a number of communities
and parishes, will make it possible
for the small-scale breeder to en-
joy many of the advantages for
merry obtained only by the largest
scale breeder.

THE SKY PILOT

In times past we have been ac-
customed to refer to the preacher
as a 'sky pilot" The, name stuck,
whether is pleased the preacher or
not
But it remained for a preacher
himself to justify in fact the appel
lation applied in jest.
Lieutenant Maynard, a chaplain in
the United States army, carried off
the honors in a cross-country dis
lance flight, in which ten aviators
lost their lives.
AS a sky pilot he is a pronounced
success for his feat required nerve
and judgment of an exceptional
high order.
Now if he can preach as well as
he can fly, he should be able in
time to tell the truth to the average
congregation and get away with it.
Score one for the sky pilot.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

It requires many people to make
up a community, and in that eommu-
nifty are many shades of religious
and material beliefs. 1t stands to
reason that there is and viii al
ways be much variance of opinion.
Never are two people found whose
views are identical on every sub
ject, nor even on any subject. Some
where the dividing line is found and
there the community trouble begins.
Each of us is prone to think him
self right and all others wrong. 1t
is human nature and viii always be
80.
But there is a common ground
upon which all may meet, forum
from which the community spirit
may be developed to the highest de-
gree. That is the arena of free
speech and public discussion of COM
munity affairs.
Where many are gathered to-
gether and each gives his views as
he sees them, the majority is rea-
sonably sure to arrive at a proper
conclusion on any subject concern
ing our local welfare.
Such course might be employed
to good advantage in this commun-
ity.
The craniums of our local people
are filled with excellent ideas for
our collective advancement. All
that is required is an opportunity
for them to be heard.
Shall we supply the opportunity?
