SEE GREAT WAR FILM

Among the pictures which
will aid in floating the Victory
Liberty Loan is the remarkable
film, AThe Price of Peace" in
the taking of which one of the
photographers was killed. The
film tells the animated story of
the great attack at Chateau
Thierry; shows a German air
plane being destroyed in the
air; shows a field gun and its
crew being destroyed by a high
explosive shell, and concludes
with scenes of the American
Army in Germany. The film is
5000 feet long. This picture will
be shown without admission
charge in as many theatres as
can be reached during the Loan
campaign.

HERE COME THE TANKS

Tanks played an important
part in the big battles of the
war. Twenty of these armored
vessels will visit this District,
manned by boys who actually
handled the tanks in France.
They called these boys the
Treat 'em Rough" boys, be-
cause that's what they did to
the boohe. The tanks are fully
equipped with guns and ammu-
milton Just as they went onto
the battlefields, and you will
get a real taste of war when
these guns are fired. Eloquent
speakers will accompany the
tanks to tell you all about them,
and what it cost your Govern
ment to Treat 'em Rough. "
Your Victory Liberty Loan
County Chairman will have
charge of the routing of these
tanks in your county. Don't
fail to see them.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By r. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH
Re- Bed Your Ground if Packed by
Heavy Rains Before Planting.

Re-Bed Your Ground if Packed by
Heavy Rains Before Planting.
Unfavorable weather should
not be the cause of any farmer
planting on a poorly prepared
seed bed. 1t is false economy to
plant where a good seed bed has
not been prepared. Heavy rains
have washed fields that should
have been terraced and delayed
farm operations generally. Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of sue
cess. In many instances land
that was prepared before a heavy
rain will have to be prepared a
second, or even a third time.
Well begun is half done. A
thoroughly prepared seed bed is
a good beginning for any crop.
Every farm family should have
a garden to supply the home
needs for the maximum number
of days in the year. with a sur
plus to be canned, dried or stored
for future use, including an am
pie supply of Irish and sweet po-
tatoes. and a patch of cane or
sorghum to produce syrup for
the home.
Sufficient corn to maintain the
family and livestock for a year
should be produced, season per-
hitting. Prepare to ma k e
enough hay and forage to supply
livestock on your farm through
a severe winter. Special atten-
should be given to peanuts and
velvet beans in the hills. and to
cowpeas and velvet beans on
creek and river bottom land. 1t
is never too dry to make feed
from peanuts. Plan to produce
meat, eggs and milk in abun-
dance at home. Try to meet
family expenses from the sur
plus products of the farm out
side of the cotton crop. All of
this done the cotton acreage will
take care of itself. If the farm
ers of the South will live at home
and board at the same place they
can command a fair and reason
able price for the cotton pro-
duced.
