Glenn Garrett had the misfortune to
drop his on the floor, but already hav-

CERTIFIED irish POTATO
seed RECOMMENDED
Growers of Potatoes ;or Market Should
Procure Best Seed Potatoes
for Planting.

d. G. Neal, extension pathologist,
Louisiana State University, recently
made trip to Wisconsin and Mime

ducing certified Irish potato seed and
to ascertain what the possibilities
would he OF securing some OF these po-
tatoes for planting in Louisiana. He
obtained a list of reliable people from
whom certified seed potatoes can be
secured. Persons interested in grow
ing potatoes and, potato dealers are In
vited to write to the Extension Divi-
sion, Louisiana State University, for
this list. MI Neal says that the large
brokers, from whom most OF the seed
potatoes are ordered, handle nothing
but field run potatoes and very In
feiior grade at that. Professor Per-
kins. Direction of Extension, thinks II
worth while for persons growing pota'
toes for market to procure few Of the

AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
+ Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
b Return to Normal White
=. Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping Between July !
and October 10 we shipped 65,9S0,303
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 81, 100000 bushels Of wheat and
flour In terms Of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cess
ton Of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to q normal wheat diet Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail,
able to have q white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep
steady stream Of wheat and -four mov-
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of bread
cumine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
of the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was s5,0oO,Ooo bushels safely de1v-
cred overseas between Januaty and
July 1. Out Of harvest which gave
us only 20,0000O0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

COWS GRAZING oats
INCREASE MILK YIELD
FEEDING TEST CONDUCTED LAST
WINTER AT LOUISIANA STATE
EXPERIMENT STATION.
TEN COWS USED IN TEST
Cows Grazing Data Produced 2.36 Of
Milk More Per Day Than Whom
Fed On Sorghum.

Dairy COWS at the Louisiana State
University Experiment Station farm
each produced 2.S6 pounds Of milk
more per day while grazing on oats
than when fed sorghum silage, accord
ing to feeding test conducted last
inter Ten COWS were used in thS
test, which was continued for a pe7
riod of ten days and then changed to
sorghum silage for like period. At
each change two days were allowed
for the transition period before the
milk records were started The grain
and hay portions OF the ration re-
manned the same throughout the ex-
pertinent, and the only change made
was from oats to sorghum every ten
days.
'The dairy farmer who has herd
not large enough to warrant building
a silo for should by all means utilize
oats as a winter-grazing crop" says
C. II. Staples dairy specialist, Ex.
tension J Division, Louisiana State
University. "Oats will prove profit
able to the dairy farmer with silos
as this crop will be valuable sup.
plement to the silage by increasing
the milk production and giving
greater variety to the ration"

KEEP THE WEEVIL
OUT OF YUUR CORN
The Black Weevii 10 Worst Enemy o,
Corn From the Time 1t Natures
In the FieId.

"The black weevil, with which every
Louisiana farmer is fully acquainted,
Is the worst enemy Of corn from the
time it begins to mature in the field
until disposed of by feeding or selling
Oh the market" says A. F. kidder,
professor of agronomy. Louisiana State
University. This insect will attack
the corn in the field, consequently one
must use measures that will reduce
such damage. The only method Of les
sening the field ravages is to field
select the corn in order to be sure OF
getting ears with tight shuck cover.
ings. The ends of the ears should be
especially well covered. Field.infest-
ed corn should be harvested earlier
than other corn. BY pulling 1t with
the shuck on many Of the weevils may
be removed Such corn can be fed
very early, or it may be placed (after
shucking) in very tight bin and
treated with carbon bisulphide to kill
the weevils.
Carbon bisulphide Is q liquid which
passes into q gas very quickly upon ex'
posure. The gas Is inflammable. SO
keep lights and fires away from 1t. 1t
is heavier than air, hence ii shallow
dishes containing the liquid are set
upon the corn the gas formed Will
pass down through it. 1t is necessary
that the gas come in direct contact
with the weevils for at least forty-fve
minutes to kill them. This makes II
necessary to use one pound OF D'
sulphide for every 100 cubic feet Of
space in a tight bin, but If 1t is slight
ly open the amount to use should bt
two and one-half to three times a!
much This fumigating should be done
on warm still day, as the weevil be
gins to hibernate at temperature
slightly below 10 degrees Fahrenheit
All buildings should be well ventilated
twenty-four to forty-eight hours afte
fumigation. There is no danger OF IN
turing the termination of the corr
provided it is dry, even by using stil

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
OF HOGS Is PROFITABLE
OFFERS SOLUTION OF MOST ALL
DIFFICULTIES IN SHIPPING US
UALLx ENCOUNTERED.
PLAN is VERY SIMPLE
Every Community Should Have Live
Stock Shipping Association For
Marketing Purposes.

The cooperative shipments OF hogs
offer the Louisiana farmer solution
to almost all difficulties heretofore en-
countered, especially where there is
q considerable amount Of STOCK in ex-
cess of local demands which other
wise W. aid be marketed in less than
carload lots. Cooperative shipments
of hogs are very satisfactory, and it
is Just a question of time when every
community will have livestock ship
ping association.
The following are some of the ad-
yantages the system of marketing Of
fers:
l) The farmer receives the great
est possible returns for hc3s sold.
ca The profit of the shipping buy
ers is eliminated.
(3) The farmer receives the actual
market price for his stock, less the
cost of marketing.
(4) Farmers with only a few hogs
are enabled to market them in car
load lots, and receive the advantage
OF selling on centralized market
(5) Cooperative shipments re-
ceive special attention at centralized
markets.
go Better service is had from the
railroads.
CD The plan Of marketing hogs
through cooperative shipments is
very simple, and when successful the
advantages become more apparent TO
the farmer, The difficulty is In get
ting started.
(s) Cooperative shipment of hogs
Is being successfully carried on IL
other states, and Louisiana is equally
well adapted for it.-J. B. Francioni
