RICE COMING TO IT'S OWN.
Now Recognized as Best Substitute
for Irish Potatoes.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is advertising the fact
that rice has been discovered to be
the best substitute for Irish pota-
toes. The department says that the
potato crop in many sections has
failed and that as result there will
be great increase in the demand
for rice this winter.
Rice can be made to meet the
potato shortage, says the Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates. The
prospective crop Of 33,500,000 BUSH
els of rough rice is equal to 931 1,000,-
900 pounds Of cleaned rice and to
this must be added comparatively
large stocks derived from the extra
ordinarily large crop Of 1920.
| Cuba, also which usually receives
large imports of rice from this and
other countries, has stocks of this
cereal that are greater than the or
dinary ones.
Consumption Of foods was affect
ed variously by the requirements of
armies and navies during the war
and by the course of prices since the
war began and per capita consump-
ton of such, foods in the near future
can perhaps be better estimated if
based on the more steady conditions
that preceded the war than on the
| erratic ones that followed it. At the
per capita consumption of seven
pounds Of rice in the United States
in 1905-1914 for all purposes be-
fore the war, the population this
year would require 760,0O0,000
or I'll 100000 pounds less than this
lyear's crop alone to say nothing of
unusual stocks. There are however
ways Of zdisposing of the surplus be-
sides finding export markets or piling
up domestic stocks.
| The forecast Of the potato crop of
this year, made for August is only
81, 100000 bushels, while the con-
sumption, at the per capita rate of
3.8 bushels for 19O5-1914 for all
purposes would be 412,500,O00 bush
els, SO that the prospective deficiency
apart from such imports as may be
made, is 100000 bushels. Rice
may naturally help to fill this void
of approximately 100.0o0.0O0 BUSH
els Of potatoes in the food supply.
| The elements Of the situation invite
q much larger rice consumption.

CATTLE EXHIBITS AT FAIR
Indications Are That They Will Be
Very Large.

e.Buy pure-bred bull a the fair"
Lets put one pound more of but
ter no the table of every home in the
country.
These are two Of the slogans which
are being used in interesting the
farmers to attend the big dairy and
beef cattle show which is to be put
on at the South Louisiana Fair, Dom
|aldsonville, Oct. 80.
IF all the dairy herds in America
were headed by pure-bred bulls"
|said Secretary r. S. Vickers OF the
fair, ttenough more milk would be
produced to provide each person with
Ian extra quart of milk each day for
six years. Enough more butter
would be obtained to furnish each
home with sixty more pounds of
butter year. Almost unbelievable,
isn't it?'
Leading breeders Of cattle in the
country are cooperating with the
fair management in making the
cattle show the largest one in, the
history of the fair. Herds are being
Iput in shape for exhibition, and a
I big turnout of animals is expected.
There will be a lively tussel for
ribbons and cash prizes.
Horses, sheep swine and poultry
will be exhibited in large numbers.
The fruit and vegetable exhibit will
be large. The women and children are
working hard on their exhibits. The
entertainment program will be sue
cess from start to finish, according
to fair officials.

NO FENCE LAW.
One Of the Issues Which Loon, Big
in Louiaiana Politics.

F.S : Aa4g5 4 T
In recent special from Baton
Rouge to The Times-Picayune, it is
pointed out that one of the biggest
issues recently developed in Louisi-
ana and one that promises to become
embroiled in state politics is the
passage Of a law by the legislature
compelling the fencing of livestock.
1t is commonly called a ssno-fence"
law, because it means that tracts of
land with the exception of those for
pasturing livestock, will have no
fences, while fences or enclosures
for live stock would be compulsory.
Wide differences of opinion have
developed. Citizens are lining up
on the question in many parishes.
Supporters of sno-fence" law con-
tend that it IS the shortest and
quickest way to get rid Of the cat
tie tick. They also claim that the
abolition of fences for everything
except for enclosing live stock would
be the cheapest and best policy for
the state to adopt. The fence bill of
the state, it is asserted, would be
reduced millions Of dollars.
Opponents of the "no-fence" law
on the other hand, contend that it
would impose q abnrden and hard
ship on the livestock raisers and de-
prive them Of the use of the open
range. They claim it would drive
small farmers with small tracts of
land out of the livestock raising bus
mess and work to the advantage
Of those who raise livestock on a
large scale.
Governor Parker is among the
strong advocates of the ssno-fence"
law. He believes that it is absolute
ly essential to the welfare Of the
state. He clearly outlined his views
on the subject in a speech delivered
lat a meeting Of farmers in Alex
andria recently.

Standing Together

Every school child has read many times these
axforns: In unity there is strength and Omitted.
we stand; divided we fall. Years ago these nom
ular lines in tn copybooks in which the older gene
ration learned to write, yet today many of these
same scholars OF mature years and judgement ignore
the truth of these words in their attitude toward
civic affairs
The Journal does not propose to take anyone to
task for this but it just wants to register plea for
one day of harmony and unity for the sake of Mari
eta
Every citizen of the town is interested in the
future of the town, and it ought not to be hard to
give one day to its service Make that day Tuesday
April 18th, and put up your little hammer and stop
knocking, if you have been doing any of that.
Go down to the polls early and cast your vote for
bonds with smile, the kind of smile that won't
come off Say something good about your town and
your neighbor, and say nothing i'll of anyone You
can do all of this in hour, possibly less, but
don't do anything to spoil the day.
No great undertaking was ever accomplished in
which the spirit of compromise did not enter-not
compromise of principle, but compromise of per-
sonal ambitions, perhaps, of minor details. If
you live in Marietta its your town-you stock
hoder-and every voter is director. Come clean
join the other directors in making the vote for paw
ing bonds unanimous next Tuesday. And remem-
ber-a failure to vote at all is almost as bad vote
against bonds

/ Paving Profits

People who live streets sections of Marietta
thstwi not be paved will profit equally with those
who live paved streets because their streets will
be improved in keeping with the general improve
ment movement. They will also have the use of the
payd streets in going to and from the main section
of town and do not have to pay cent directly like
the people who own the property along the paved
streets.
1t is very noticeable in towns where streets are
paved that the other streets kept in good con-
dition. This may be explained in two ways 1t is
natural that the city would see that the streets ad
lacent to the paved ones are kept in fair shape.
When paving is laid it will allow the city crews
to devote all their time to keeping up the unpaved
streets and they could therefore, be kept continually
in good condition for travel
