soldier, sailor, or marines name IS
lnrecorded in the Book of War Re-
cords which is to be kept In the
Parish Court House to testify to the
courage and bravery of our boys.
To secure this record for the fu-

the heat of last week most cheer
fully. Their service is greatly ap-
preciated by the Red Cross Home Ser

Ramos, and also that as it was the

action on the establishment of this
school until next year when the pop

profitable feed in beef production.
Wisconsin fed one lot of steers per
head per day as follows: Shelled corn
12.4 pounds. corn silage 1928 pounds
and mixed hay 20 pounds. The
cost of 100 pounds of grain was
s2264 and the profit per steer was
S19.36. Another lot of steers was
fed per day as ofllows; Cotton seed
meal S5 pounds. corn silage 56.d
pounds, and mixed hay rs pounds
The cost of 100 pounds gain was

Increased freight rates add little
to cost OF commodities but were used
TO boost prices. An increase in
railroad freight rates is generally
accepted by dealers as an excuee for
Increasing the price Of commodities
subject to the higher rates. Jul
ius Kruttschnitt OF the Southern
Pacific system points out that the
popular impression that the effect OF
higher rates to living costs is gross
Iy exaggerated" He says: No
coin is small enough to represent
any of these increases IN cost, but
II the dealer should add ono copper
cent in each case to the 1910 prices
to reimburse him for the Increased
cost of his commodity due to in
creased freight rates he would gross
ly overcharge the purchaser in ev-
cry case.
He would make him pay nearly
double the proper amount in the case
OF pair of shoes and over six times
the proper amount in the case of q

The statement makes an interest

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

A few pointers for making the
community fair a success may be
timely at this season and as the far
ming people must take hold of the
community fair, perhaps some good
may come from few suggestions.
The community fair is a miniature
county fair with the races. side shows
and other commercial amusements
ommitted. 1t calls for not only the
exhibition CT the best of products
that have been grown and the best
work that has been done in the COM
munity. but also games, athletic con-
tests. and other similar features of
recreational or educational value.
The community fair is most eff
cfctive where the whole community
Ia concerned in its management, and
the cooperation of every progress
sive man in the community. This
is an essential point. The fair is
usually to help that part of the
coutry in which 1t is held and not
for the personal gain of few indi-
viduals.
general meeting should be call
ed to elect officers and appoint com
mittees to have charge of the work
While the success will largely de-
pend upon the dictatorship of a few
1t cannot be with out cooperation Of
all The fair should be we'll adver
tised and effort should be made to
secure exhibits from as many pers-
ons os possible. rather than to secure
exhibits from exceptional quality
For premiums. ribbons are usually
given, rather than cash payments
As most of the preparation for the
fair is made by few volunteer
workers, the small amount of money
needed for incidental expenses can
be raised by subscription or by sale
of the advertising space in the pro
gram or catalogue. Under ideal
conditions there should be no entry
fees or admission charge.
The judges should be secured from
outside the community. and should
be given opportunity to explain their
awards to the exhibitors interested.
The best exhibits shown at COM
munity fair in many cases are taken
to the county fair as community
exhibit, thus giving opportunity for
a profitable community rivalry.

Cases have been known where a

come dry and the hoops should be
frightened before filling time Silos
made of concrete, brick or other por-
Gus or semi porous materials are
benefited by an inside coating which
seals the pores and prevents the ac-

Increase in American Hogs Eiiil Help to Meet World Fat
 Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation Of Pork roduction-SeVenfold Increase Over Pre-
 War Exports.

Through increased production and conservation we will be able this year to export seven times our pre-war average exports of pork products With the heavy demands added i'll car ing for the millions who have been freed from German oppression, the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified to- day in our every action of stimulation of hog production. In the coming year the greatest world shortage will be in fats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy of the policy of stimulated production has built up fin this country supplies which will en- able us to supply very large part of the fat deficiency of the wOrld.i In beef there must be a shortage in Flu rope, due largely to limited refrigera- tor ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, will be filed by America, Argentine and Australia.
 The contribution made by the pro ducers of this country to the war pro gram as applying particularly to ami nal food products is illustrated by the following:
 Reports compiled by the U s. De partment of Agriculture indicate an increase in cattle of 1O,238,0G0 head and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures were compiled to January l last.
 In this period there was a decrease in sheep of S19.000 heLd. The indica- tions are that this decrease will show an increase, according to recent re- ports.
 Since January 1 unofficial infOrma- tion indicates an increase in hogs of not less than s per cent. and not more than 15 per cent. as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the average weight.
 Following the request of the U. s. Food Administration for an increase in hog production for marketing in the fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,6OO,- 000,000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year. With out this increase the shipping program arranged by Mir. Hoover regarding an- imal food products would have been impossible.
 The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30, 1917, amounted to 903, ,172,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products tOtaled 1,2T7, ,5S9,000 an increase of over 374, OO0000 pounds for the quarter.
 During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed 1,263,00000O pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds for the three month period ending September l, this year.
