Old Clemenceau, aged eighty,
victorious at the end Of long
fighting life, predicts his own
death within year. He makes the
prediction cheerfully, which amazss
those that do not understand such
character.
Clemenceau is man that has
finished race, and won. He does
not want to sit around forever
talking about it. A little rest and
then start in another race is what
he wants, and that is what the
grave gives us all.
To live hard, work and fight
hard, then die to start again as
soon as useful days are ended. is
what men should want. Not for
getting, however, that the last
years of useful thought and wise
advising are among the most use
ful working years.

This will interest farmers, all

lyhock are the best possible food
for chickens in cold weather.
Plant them in the chicken yard.
They will supply shade in sum-

will get exercise jumping UP to
pull out the seeds.
Also there is a Russian giant
,unfower that grows fifteen feet

You can use the stalks for bean

Every year $4,000 women die

PROTECT POTATOES.
THROUGHOUT WINTER

Louisiana Is producing tae largest
sweet potato crop on record this year,
a crop Of such magnit4 le that the early
ma rae,s cannot posy,v absorb it and
'stet ~ III; ,.sr i5rs.-s.t--T 70
take cire Of Il several mil,isn dollars
worth o. sweet potatnes are. destined
to rot Such a stains of affairs will
reflect heavy los,s. upon the growers
who are heiag urged to plan to store
their crops and carry them over the
glutte! period. With this in mind the
T-t24 sion Division Of the State Uni
crsity has inaugurated a campaign for
tie erection of storage houses on every
farm.
Farmers chould begin to make pre-
paration for storing their sweet potato
stock, believes NJ. Hull, sweet potato
specialist. Plans and specifications for
building these houses are availble upon
request from the local farm demonstra-
ton agent or by writing to the Ior;i-
CULTURAL Department. Louisiana State
University at Baton Rouge. Personal
supervision will be given during tie
erection of the houses and assista3te
will be rendered throughout the eur,ss
period of the potatoes IN s'number
of instances abandoned tenant houses,
OF ether buildings not in use on the
farm may be satisfactorily converted
into storage houses at a small cost; and
in tn chill sections of the state whore
pine logs are available they ma" be
used in constructing adequate places in
wlien 90 store the surplus stock.
1t is hoped that little economic waste
will take place in the future farming
industry of the state and II salso the
wish and desire of Mr.. Hull that the
farmers raising sweet potatoes will
lend a co-operatives hand to this cam
paign for building sweet potato storage
houses and thus bring about little or
no losses by contracting adequate faeil-
tiles for caring for their stock.
