Belle de Korndyke End, a pure
bred Holstein cow, owned by the
Estate of H. C. Minor, Houma,
La, had broken all Louisiana re-
cords in milk and butter produc-
ton. This test. which has just
been completed, was conducted
by the Experiment Station of
Louisiana State University, and
is official.
That this young cow, her age
being three years and three
months, should make such a
phenomenal record is not surpris-
ing, says C. H. Staples, of the
L. S. U. Dairy Department, as
her breeding is as good as that
of almost any Holstein cow in
America. Both her sire and dam
are descendants of lines of high
milk producers, there being a
world record cow on each side.
According to late advices from
Houma, this cow is still produc-
ing more than 60 pounds of milk
a day. She is on a yearly test
and is being fed and handled
with the view of having her
make a large yearly record.

Lieut.. Foster McNeely Writes of His
Marching Over France.
Lieut.. Foster McNeely, who
has been in France for more than
a year, writes an interesting let
ter to his father, Mr.. j. H. Nc
Nicely, and the home folks, which
we publish by permission. The
letter is as follows:
Oetrange, Luxembourg, !
Nov. u, 1918.
Dear Folks:-Well the lids off
to such an extent that we can
tell most anything we know.
Think l told you before that we
are part of the Army of Occupa-
ton. Would not attempt to tell
you all we've been through with
in one letter, so thought I'd first
tell you the places we've been.
We reached the port of Brest,
France, Dec. q, 1917. lmmedi-
ately, almost, upon landing we
took a train for La C6urtine
(south central France) where
we encamped. This is a very
beautiful French cantonment.
used as barracks by the French
in peace times. My stay there
was pretty short, as was order
ed to the First Division before
many days had passed.
Goudrecourt, some fifty kilo-
meters southwest of Toul, was
First Division headquarters at
the time of my arrival, and it
was here that / ran into Gordon
Thornton.
My trip oGoudrecourt brought
me through Paris, where l laid
over twenty four hours, and is
the only visit I've made to that
city, although our troop train
passed through the city since. /
was sent over to the 9Th Field
Artillery, with headquarters at
Maudres, some twelve or fifteen
kilometers away to the south.
Was assigned to the third battal-
ion for duty. with headquarters
at Chassey.
Our duty on the front began
almost Immediately after my ar
rival, the outfit having been in
winter quarters since the last Of
November. The first two battal-
ions, with headquarters, moved
up and took over the sector
northwest of Toul. My battal-
ion remained behind, E battery
moving to the school of fire at
Goudrecourt and F battery moved
to Demonge-Aux-Eau, someeight
kilometers further over. Ny
headquarters were with the lat
ter organization.
Our battalion went into line
early in February with the horse
line at Cornieville twenty kilo-
meters west of TouD and with
headquarters in the woods back
of Maudres (the Maudres south
of Seicheprey). The regiment
stayed there until about the first
of April. During our stay there
| visited Toul several times, and
a few of the smaller villages, in
GLIDING Commercy.
About the first Of April we
were relieved by a National Guard
Division, and we left immediate
ly by train for Picardy, where
the Boche were running wild.
Because of the rail congestion,
presume. we detrained at Isle.
Adam in Normandy. After q
couple Of days march we reached
Chamboir, where we remained
for ten days, the Boche having
been stopped already by the
French and English. From here
we marched, everyone walking,
to the Montdidier sector. My

ed to within sight OF the Ethel
Tower in Paris, when we were
abruptly stopped on July 18th.
Almost every imaginable ru-
NOR was afloat about the Boche
breaking our lines at various
points. The next day we learn
ed that a Boche attack in the
Champagne district had been re-
pulsed, and no explanation given
as to our halt. During the day
we received marching orders.
| must say between that day and
the eighteenth WE MARCHED.
We'd stop long enough to get a
hot meal and feed and water the
horses and then we'd be on our
way. We got in line just in time
to take part in the attack put
over on the eighteenth, being To-
Gated just south of scissors. Our
Infantry was relieved on the
twenty-fourth and heavy artillery
(5th) on the twenty-sixth, being
relieved by Gordon (Scotch)
Highlander's. Of all the battle
fields I've been over, this seems
the bloodiest, maybe because it
was the first big one I'd visited.
We pulled out, marched south
west. going through Borest,
where we stopped several days
to recuperate, clean up and draw
requirements a nd equipment.
Then we entrained at a village,
some eight or ten kilometers
away, for Toul. We thought we
were going in our old sector but
instead we took up the sector at
Point-A-Momsous, just east of
our old sector, having first rest
ed about a week at Bocquely.
Our stay in this sector was OF
several weeks duration.
Our next move was camou-
flage pure and simple, l think.
1t was reported we were going
back near Vocouliers for rest.
The Infantry did get back there,
the artillery remaining behind
until the new division that re-
lieved US got settled. We then
made two night marches in
the direction of Vocouliers, being
stopped abruptly during the Sec
ond night and made to get under
cover in the woods before morn
ling. The next night we started
back toward Toul, and made il
to the woods north of Boucq by
morning. We all knew some.
thing was to happen and were
glad to be back in our old sector,
as we were all familiar with the
country about. We renamed in
the woods about a week before
the attack was put over, being
forced to keep under cover.
Every night we saw new troops
and materials arriving.
/ think it was the morning OF
the Twelfth (Sept.) that the at.
tack was put over and the entire
st. Mihiel Salient was wiped out
within twenty-seven hours. This
was a very cheap victory, as oul
losses were negligible, and We
captured many prisoners anG
much material. We rested ir

camp by the Germans in theil

Agent Sloan's Work Receives Compli-
mentary Mention.
The Press Bulletin published
by the Extension Division of the
La. State University, gives con-
siderable space to the activities
of Parish Agent R. L. Sloan, as
follows:
Agent Sloan has succeeded in
organizing a large number of
farmers in his parish into CO.
operative buying and selling as
sociations. Cooperative pur-
chases of seed Irish potatoes,
corn and fertilizers and coopera-
tive shipments of hogs have been
made. About 120 farmers par
ticipated in these operations, and
a saving of several hundred dol
lars was effected.
Mr.. Sloan has also devoted
considerable attention to land
terracing, with the result that
more than sixty thousand feet of
land on eighteen different farms
have been terraced. Increased
crop yields on the terraced lands
are apparent, he says.
The agent took an active part
in the parish fair held at Verda
in October, 1917. He acted as
its secretary and solicited ex-
hibits from all over the parish.
The best entries from the parish
fair were taken to the State Fair,
where twelve premiums, amount
ing to about $500, were awarded
to Grant parish exhibitors.
Through the combined n
fiuence of the parish agent and
the extension beef cattle special
list a car load of purebred Aber-
deem Angus cattle were shipped
into the parish from Texas. The
owner is well pleased with his in
vestment.
The agent has vaccinated $40
hogs with the anti hog cholera
serum and ordered serum 500 ad-
ditional head. The farmers who
grow large numbers of hogs ap-
preciate the value of vaccination,
says Mr.. Sloan. Two hundred
and twenty-five head of cattle
have been vaccinated against
Charlton by the agent and a thou
sand additional head by the far
|mers themselves. There being
no veterinarian in the parish,
Agent Sloan receives many calls
to visit and treat sick animals.
Among the diseases and ailments
treated during the year were:
bloat, forage poisoning, tick
fever, injuries from various
causes, collie, distemper, blackleg,
hog cholera, Charlton, milk fever
etc.
i Mr.. Sloan visited ten home or
chards, supervised the spraying
of two. and gave advice on va
rites and planting. One farmer
planted, under his direction, a
model home orchard, consisting
of 104 peach trees, 8 apples. 8
plums, 9 pears, 6 persimmons, :
mulberry, pecan, II grape vines
and 6 muscadine grapes. The
trees in this orchard were pruned
by the agent at the time of set
! ting out.
Every school in the parish has
been visited by the agent, al
which talks were made by hin
in the interest of increased fooC
production. Three hundred
