ing public funds to be mighty care
full as to where every dollar goes.
But these officials should not lose
their perspective and put the wrong
interpretation on the word economy.
True economy does not necessarily
mean spending no money or less
money, but in getting value received
for what is spent. Which leads us up
to the point we wish to make, namely
that in the money spent in paying the
salary of competent parish demons
tration agent the parish gets not only
value received but in addition a re-
turnthat cannot be measured IN dol
lars and cents.
In one item alone, that of cooper.
alive buying and selling, the agents
in az parishes saved to the farmers g
total of $62,780.70 during 1920
This is greater than the combined sun
contributed by the parishes for the
agents salaries. In addition to thi:
agents were instrumental in intro
ducing into the state hundreds of heaC
of purebred livestock, of all kinds
They conducted terracing demonstra,
lions, gave instructions in the plant
ing, spraying and pruning of fruit
trees, and induced farmers to have
treated against disease 60,620 cattle
go, 1886 hogs, 1882 horses and 6,734
Sheep. Other activities of the agent:
had to do with the erection of silo:
and improved farm building, the pur
chase of improved farming nipple
ments, the introduction of system
attic rotations, and the encouraging
Of diversified farming. Soil improve
ment, the use Of fertilizers, boys anC
girls club work, exhibits at agricul
tural fairs, and other things toe
numerous to mention were all par
of the activities of the demonstration
agents. Their duties are limited only
by the needs of farmers in theil
territory, and these are endless. Anc
the agents are measuring up to theil
job.
1t would seem, therefore, that al
this time, when farmers are passing
through a crisis, brought about BY
the downfall of their main standbys
cotton, cane and rice, and are casting
about for new crops to grow, the ser
vices of the demonstration agent are
more valuable than ever before. AnC
the more far-visioned of the parish
officials, we do not doubt, will see the
matter in this light.
Now is the time for hiring, instead
of firing, the farm demonstration
agent.

RELIGIOUS TRAINING OF THE
CHILDREN.

Twelve million children under IL
years Of age on the North American
Continent are outside the touch of
the Church and the Gospel.
Children who attend public school
spend 500 hours per year in mental
development.
Children who attend Sunday School
spend So hours per year in spiritual
development.
There is only one way for a child
or a man or nation to be happy here
and hereafter, and that is to trust
and obey God. AS the prophet of old
testifies, the Lord blesses those who
fear the Lord, walk in His way, love
Him and serve Him with all their
hearts. 1t is the right of every child
in this land to have an opportunity
for the training which will mean such
happiness. Go to any penitentiary
any reformatcry and insane asylum,
there will be seen results of the lack
of true religious education. Three
elements are necessary in order to
enable the Sunday SchoN to. do the
work so desperately needed by the
nation: An aroused public consci-
ence, trained teachers, and the adop-
ton of modern Sunday School tecnic.
Mrs. w. P. Cross is planning a
splendid program and the discussions
will be very beneficial to all, for in
additicnto the Parish Sunday School
workers who take part in the program
there will be present Miss Jennie Mil
ton, Associate Children's Division
Superintendent of the Louisiana Sun
day School Association.
In order that our Sunday School
workers with children may be more
efficient, the Superintendent of the
Children's Division of the Concordia
Parish Sunday School Association,
Mrs. w. P. Cross is planning for a
Children's Division Institute to be
held in the Methodist Church, at
Ferriday, La, morning and evening
of January 30th. The teachers and
all the parents Of all the children in
all the Sunday Schools of the Parish
are invited to be present. Everyone
is asked to bring a host of Sunday
School workers and a note book.
Everyone reading this article is
requested to become publicity agent
in their community in advertising
the Institute, by using their telephone
automobile, letter verbal announce
ment and personal calls. 1t is asked
that those who own cars that they
gather up a crowd in their neighbor-
hoodand bring them into Ferriday
on January 30th. Thus will every
of the Parish be reached
and the Religious Training of our
Children encouraged.
The slogan of the Institute is.
"Come, let us live with our Children"

Of the parish poultry association was
effected this week.
Following the methods used by

Cane fertilizer demonstrations are
bearing more fruit every day, judg-
ing from the letters received, reports

ish. During. 1921 more work of this
kind vii be done than ever before.
Fall planted oats, rye and clover

crops are anticipated, reports 7. /.

cars Of cattle were shipped to market

REAL ECONOMY
Yours truly,
OLD TIMER


Police Juries and School Boards of
the different parishes in all likelihood
will find it necessary to cut to the
bone their budgets for the coming
year. The State has been hard hit by
the unprecedented slump in the prices
of the farm products that were de-
pended upon to supply the bulk of the
Asrmer's income. As a result, farmers
and others are finding it hard task
to raise money to pay taxes,to say
nothing Of meeting the outlay in
cident to the starting of another
years crop. All Of which viii have
the effect of causing the officials who
are charged with the duty of expend-

FATHER DEGNAN
Alexandria, La.

January 10, 1871
Reverend and, dear Father THE
appeal of the American Hierarchy in
behalf of the suffering children Of
central Europe is most urgent. AS
you must have learned from the daily
press, the situation there is most
APPALLING. Herbert Hoover, who
knows whereof he speaks, declares
that thirty million dollars are needed
immediately to save some three and
a half million children from death
by famine or disease.
II is true that many demands have
been made on our charity, and right
now many of our own people are feel
ing the effects of the hard times; but
in the face of this awful tragedy, the
like of which the world has never
seen, no Christian heart can remain
Hnmoved, and no one who has any
thing to give can refuse to do so.
While leaving the way and method
to your own discretion, / suggest
that instead of the customary church
collection, some members of the con-
gregation be appointed. by the pastor
to collect alas for this purpose in the
town, and I ask that the proceeds be
sent to me as soon as possible.
With kindest wishes and blessing,
I remain, .ss
Most sincerely yours in Christ,

Trout Season Opens Soon

More than one local sport is get
ting down the old rod and reel these
days and putting it in shape to drown
a few more angleworms with during
the coming fishing season and many
of them really are carrying the opin-
ion that they are going to catch a
few trout after next Monday. What
ever you do, boys, don't bring the
editor in a mess of fish. Such a
treat for a printer might upset his
innards so much so that we might
not be able to get paper out for a
week or two and then when we did
We might feel so thankful that our
gratitude would impeH us to devote
column or two TO whatever friend
brought them in. If we were any
kind of a fisherman at all we'd go
out and catch some ourselves but as
matters stand old Isaac Walton fail
ed to bequeath US anything in the
line of piscatd:ial inclinations and
success and so whenever we want
fish we have to open up and fire a
broadside of hints at some of our
friends and be it said to their ever
lasting shame that their hides must
be tuffern muleskin because of all
the hints which we have from time
to time thrown out, we neve. had a
trout or fish of any kind brought in
yet. In fact, all we ever get from
them is the stories of how many
they caught and how good they
tasted and we're commencing to be-
lieve that there amt no such animals
as fisch and that our friends are a
pack of liars when they tell us about
them.
