Be calm and watch the levee.
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1922-04-14
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE
PRICE OF SAFETY.

While our levees are in better con-
dition than ever before, while our
Levee Commissioners and State
Board of Engineers and the Govern
ment officials are doing all that they
can, are all making a most deter
mined and intelligent fight to pass
the water down our river front with
out a break, we must realize that we
are now facing the highest water,
probably in the history of the levee
system, and it is up to us-the peo-
ple-to do our full duty, il success
and freedom from overflow is to be
our reward. An overflow at this
time, would be the greatest disaster
that we have ever suffered, THERE
FORE LET EVERY MAN DO HIS
DUTY.
Volunteer guards have been or
ganized at Newellton, st. Joseph and
Waterproof, to aid in the work Of
guarding the levees, and every citi-
zen should volunteer for this good
work. It makes no difference if you
do live six, eight or even ten miles
from the levee, you should do your
part, for an overflow would prove
just as much Of q disaster to you, as
to those on the front.
Therefore we say to every man in
the parish, now is the time to come
forward and offer your help and
then you viii share in the glory Of
victory.

Agricultural Depression
In Maine Over. Saw G.. NJ. White

Charles NJ. White, chief of the Di-
vision of Markets of the Maine De-
| partment of Agriculture, said Friday
| that without doubt the extreme de-
preston of agriculture is now over,
| and basis on which the farmer can
begin to realize a slight profit will
soon come about.
'E. w. Penley Of Auburn advanced
his quotation on round hog this week
| to IA IL cents per pound, which is
| only one indication of the restorat ton
of farm products to a basis more
nearly comparable to the prices paid
for other products" continued Mr..
White.
Such discourag ing periods should
not be forgotten so quickly that
many valuable lessons are lost. With
the price of hogs at this level and
other meats also strengthening, it is
good business for the dairymen to
recognize these conditions as part of
the solution for the surplus problem
in their milk business.
with an unprecedented demand
for all kinds of milk products, con-
densed, evaporated, powdered and
casein, the matter Of efficient produc-
ton was practically lost sight of and
quantity only was considered. When
the prices of these by-products COL
lapsed, farmers and distributors were
faced with flood of skim milk which
could be disposed of. profitably, and
much criticism and shard feeling re-
suited. AS matter of fact the
blame is entirely one of re-adjust-
ment, and the good business dairy
men must realize that the price of
powdered milk and casein, practical
ly the largest outlets for skim milk.
will not be restored for some time to
come.
cat least two Of the large distrib-
utors Of milk doing business in Maine
are endeavoring to assist the farmer
in making it worth while to keep his
milk at home and feed it to calves
and pigs, which with the advancing
price of these two commodities is
bound to result in a profitable disro-
sition of the skim milk.

I ing skim milk on the farm is being
aroused all over the State. Arrange
