in which most Of the.rice farming is
done and in which road making is
difficult. and also the fact that trans

numerous canals which traverse the
country in every direction. there is
not likely to be any extended demand

More money Has been made to the

an apiary covers the whole cost for
the next ten to twenty years, except

In its plant-breeding work with cow
peas. which involves several hundred
hyhrids and selections. the United
States department Of Agriculture dur
ing the past year has developed several
new sorts which give such promise
that they are now being grown in
quantity for distribution. These varie-
ties are Potomac. Arlington, Columbia,
White Hybrid and Early Buff. Exten-
sive field work is being conducted by
the department with hybrids, especially
in the wilt and nematode lands Of the
Southern States. Two hybrid selec-
tions. unnamed as yet. have been found
highly resistant to both nematodes and
wilt and are superior to other sorts for
the production Of seed and forage.
These two selection are being grown III

COURAGEOUS and Resourceful.

Under the date line Rerne. Switz-
erland. December 2Gth.' the Publicity
Department of the Gulf Division of the
American Red Cross Society has fur
nished the Banner for publication the
following story:
Heroism Of American soldiers is now
taken as a matter Of fact, but a be-
lated story Of their courage as dis
played in Identification tags that are
being forwarded to the American Red
Cross headquarters here by German
military authorities is one calculated to
give their fellow countrymen brand
new thrill.
These tags. taken from bodies Of
American officers and soldiers killed in
action, are in many instances mutilated
SO far as regimental data is concerned,
the only conclusion being that the
wearers were determined that the
value from them. 1t takes little imagi-
nation to visualize tragedy in every
one of the little aluminium discs.
Each mutilated tag tells story of a
lad who journeyed more than three
thousand miles to- fight under the Stars
and Stripes whose last thought upon
going into battle was not for his own
safety hut for that Of his comrades
The enemy was not to get any comfort
from anything found OH him in case he
was killed or captured. One can pict
ure some of the men out in advanced
machine gun posts scratching the regi.
mental and company numbers from
discs when death or capture seemed
certain.
In recent lot of tags that reached
American Red Cross headquarters there
were many that bore mutilated names
Of soldiers who were obviously of Ger.
man descent. Game to the death,
was the comment Of any officer whe
watched the examination of the first
hatch of discs. In number Of case.
it was possible to trace the regimenta
and company numbers, az if the at
tempt to obliterate the information hat
been made hurriedly.
1t Is possible. in the opinion Of son'
officials. that some of the tags have
been picked up loose Oh the battlefield
| and that their owners may still b
| living.

make THE WASTE.
LAND PRODUCE FOOD
Ample Time To Drain Waste places
Before the Opening Of the
Spring Work.

On nearly every Louisiana farm
there is some land that is either not
used at all or is used In such a way
as to produce very little. On MANY
farms therasare patches=of low esouad
which cannot be titled because they
are too wet. Usually when drained
these wet areas are the richest on
the farm.
just at present, when the cry of the
world is for food and more food, tho
prodact 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 little ex.
pense. Between now and the open
ing up of spring work there will be
ample time to do the work. Every
farmer, part of whose farm Ia unpro-
ductive because it needs drainage,
should take advantage of the pres
ent opportunity to add to his cropping
area by supplying the necessary drain
age. These lands will produce more
than average farm lands Every prod.
uct will help feed the hungry.-L. =
