The Soldier Memorial
is Heartily Supported

louisiana senators and congress
men are solid for the plan to erect a
$500. 900 memorial building on the
Louisiana State University campus in
honor Of Louisiana fighters who died
in the war, according to statement
issued today by Raymond Parker,
chairman of the executive committee
of the soldiers memorial campaign.
The sum is to be raised by popular
subscription throughout the state dur
ing the week of May SO.
Following are extracts from letters
to campaign headquarters in Baton
Rouge:
j. Y. Sanders-'I most heartily en-
derse the statewide campaign. Such
building would be far more appro-
pirate to perpeutate the memory OF
those who died than any monument
that could be erected. You may count
on me for any assistance l may rem

tions. Please advise me as to when
and where may be of service in this
commendable' and laudsble enter
prise"
Whitmell P. Martin-"The move
ment meets with my most hearty APP
proval. It is most appropriate that
the proposed memorial building should
be erected in the capital of our state
and upon the campus of our great
state university, to the end that the
people, and especially the youths of
our state, may be constantly remind
ed that in the world conflict L0uisi-
ana did her full duty, and that her
sons contributed their lives to pro-
tect and preserve this great repub-
lie"
H. Garland Dupre-"It is the duty
of all Louisianaians to see that the
memory of her sons who persisted in
the great war should be perpetuated,
and / warmly sympathize with the
idea that such evidence of our appre-
citation should take the shape of a
builing on the beautiful campus of
our state university. The soldier
dead, themselves, could they speak,
would, I feel, prefer memorial of
this character, rather than a monu-
ment."
Ladislas Lazaro-"It is, splendid
idea and should appeal to every man,
woman and child of Louisiana"
James B. Aswell-"I am pleased to
give my most cordial and earnest APP
prevail to the plan. 1t is fine thought
an inspiration to perpetuate the pa
triotic spirit of those of US who honor
ourselves in honoring them"

ute to the memory of the youth of our
beloved state, and should prove an
everlasting manifestation of our graf.

Sweet Potatoes as Feed
For Farmers Livestock

The average farmer does ont appre-
.ciate the value of sweet potatoes as
food for livestock. While all classes
of stock, including poultry, are fond
of sweet potatoes and thrive on them,
the sweet potato finds its best use as
food for hogs, according to M. Hull,
extension division, Louisiana State
University. This method of feeding
requires no labor as the hogs will do
their own harvesting. Sweet pota-
toes planted in May, June or early
July will be ready for grazing about
the middle of October. One acre of
sweet potatoes, if the crop is good,
will maintain eight to ten hogs for
about sixty days. Potatoes should be
supplemented with little cottonseed
meal. Since three bushels of sweet
potatoes are equal to one. bushel of
corn in feeding value, it can readily
be seen that on many acres of our
poor sandy land where corn is now
grown, it would be advantageous to
substitute sweet potatoes for stock
food. Such soils are frequently ca
pable of producing six totem time as
much sweet potatoes as corn.
Commercial growers of sweet po-
tatoes follow the practice of keeping
few hogs to harvest the culls. A
method followed by some growers and
one which is to. be commended, is as
follows: As the vines are cut they
are thrown into the middles, the Gull
potatoes are then thrown onto the
vines. This can be done at the time
the marketable potatoes are picked
up. The whole mass is then turned
under by running two or more fur
rows with turn pillow. In this con-
dition the vines will be kept fresh and
the potatoes kept from rOtting until
well into December The hogs will
root this food out with but little
waste. Sweet potato vines contain as
much protein as alfalfa and are high,
" relished by the hogs. An acre OF
sweet potatoes will frequently pro-
duce five or more tons of vines.
Some enterprising dairymen in the
South plant sweet potatoes largely
for their cows. They find the vines
make an excellent green feed and are
preferred to green cowpea vines fol
that purpose. After the potatoes
have attained their growth the cows
may be permitted to Craze on the
vines when the ground is not wet
This will reduce very materially the
labor Of cutting the vines. The pc
tatoes are not fed as substitute fo
concentrated foods, but is supple
ment to these foods and to take tn
place of the green food of summer il
stimulating large flow of milk, with
out loss of quality. There are few
industries of greater Importance tt
the South than that of livestock, ant
in the sweet potato this industry vii
find a powerful aid in its develop
ment.

When to Buy Rams
From the North

Observation indicates that late win
ter and early spring is the safest
season at which to buy sheep if they
are to be shipped from a northern
state. This enables the animal to be-
come accustomed to our weather con-
ditions and grass when the change is
most easily accomplished. Rams
brought South during the mid-sum-
mer months often endure the change
of climate and feed to very bad adj
vantage, and occasionally die before
