The Rice Belt Journal. TWICE-A-WEEK Published Every Tuesday and Friday by the Welsh Printing Company, Ltd. One Dollar a Year in Advance Entered at the Postofflce at Welsh, La.; as Second Class Matter. FRIDAY AUGCST 21, 1914. JOHN T. HOOD, Editor and Manager. GARDENING TIME The above caption may read a little out of order to many ot our freinds in other parts of the country. But not withstanding all doubts and scrupli-s to the contrary the fact remains that it is gardening time now. No other place like the Welsh country for diversity of crops at any time of the year. Now is time to plant cabbage, radish, lettuce, okra, beans, onious and in fact any. thing that grows in the garden. Not that this is the only time suitable for planting these gardening products. You must remember that one crop has already been boxnteously disposed of and now this is the second and a little later we will plant a third possibly. If you would live in a place where it is just as easy as falling off a log to raise any thing that grows, you should investigate the Welsh country. The only condition is that you work. We are wondering if Jennings is conspiring with the District Attorney in his effort to force the Parish to build I a new court house and jail. In view of their solemn obligations of 1912 it ap pears to us that the people of that city would resent the institution of this suit as an insult to their sense of integ. rity-The institutionof suit shows either a lack of good faith in keeping a promise on the part of Jennings or else a miserable failure in providing these public building for the parish. In either case the institution of the suit should be resented. Speak of the excruciating pain and suffering of the European soldier in facing the terrible rattle and dim of war it is nothing compared to what is beginning to be experienced here in facing the high cost of living. Have you asked the grocerman to give you some quotions? If you haven't, Don't. You are likely to fall dead. TVrmT OT the Matter.

FARM ROADS AND SPEEDWAYS -overnment More Interested in Bene-, f ting Farmer Than Improving Highways for Automobiles. e n Secretary Houston of. the departi nieut of agriculture gave his he'arers, n at the (rec('eiit o'd loads convention: In IºDtro!t a sensible talk on road building in gencral and government aid in particular. He declared that the government, so far as he is its, S mouthpiece and connected with its op erations, is more interested in improv uing the truly rural roads of the coun-i t try (those over which farm produce is hauled to market) than it is In in-, proving the transcontinental highways: which are mainly used by automobile. tourists. He also asserted that if gov ernment aid Is forthcoming it will' bei on the basis of state apportionment,! rather than congressional district or county or road district. Secretary Houston's speech is such a clear ex-, 1 position of the intentions of the pres ent administration that we take a, considerable extract from it: The essential thing to be done is, the providing of good roads which; shall get products from the .commu-l nity farms to the nearest station andi make rural life more profitable, com-I fortable and pleasurable. There are complex problems to beI solved in many states before the most! efficient expenditure of money by states and communities for roads can; be secured, and there are many morer ~-. Earth Road Showing Imperfect Drain age, to be worked out before one can ra tionally expect the federal governmen largely to participate. That the suggestion of federal aid to road building raises grave ques tions and involves possible dangers no thoughtful citizen doubts. There are proposals before the public mind which would bankrupt the federal treasury and suggest possible abuses before which those of the worst pork barrel bills of the past would pale into insignificance. It would be especially pernicious if such aid should result in stifling the spirit of local self-help. The first practical essentials in the planning of road legislation would seem to be to recognize the states as the smallest unit with which the fed eral government might deal. This would give relief in a measure from the insistent demand that would come from every township and, every dis trict In the Union for its share of state or federal assistance, without refer ence to the merits of the case or the practicability of the undertaking. In the case of roads on which fed eral money is to be expended it would seem essential and wise that the fed eral agency should have the requisite power of the approval of the selec tion, supervision of the construction and maintenance, and the right of in spection. It is reasonably clear that for every reason there must be some automatic check upon the demands to be made upon congress and that this should be afforded through the requirement that the states and the localities should contribute an amount both for con etruction and maintenance at least equal to and possibly double that con tributed by the federal government and that, in the apportionment of any possible federal funds a number of basic factors such as population, area, wealth, or minimum cost of construe. tion, should control, I have not the least doubt. In short, as a practical program, I which haste can beet be slowly made. Co-Operation Needed. Co-operation is necessary for the most systematic road building. That. is one reason why Missouri has been doing so much to improve her roads, because her people in the different communities have been willing to o operate, Road Drag aI Noeemiy. The road drag should be a nece. sity upon every farm that borier_ along the road. The man who is iJib *rl minded and patriotic eough PAYING QUALITIES OF MULE. Three-Year-Old Span Will Be Good fort Twenty Years' Service-Always In Demand. Much has been said and writteni about the Missouri mules. Envious, residents of other states have even , Intimated that the Missourian and the a mule were so closely allied that there is a marked resemblance in looks and' disposition, says an editorial in the t issouri Ruralist. This of course is a slander, but we are proud of our long Vared hybrid just the same. It is noth ing unusual for a good team of mules to sell at $200 and upward, but when they double up on that figure there is comment, even in Missouri. A span of raw three-year-olds sold at the American Royal for an even thousand dollars. This was a record for Kan - i Hardier Than Horses. sas City, but had been topped at other places. Before the show was over a world's record had been established. A yearling mule sold for $550, more Imoney than had ever been paid for a mule of that age before. Probably just as valuable animals are raised in other states, but they lack the prestige, and the Missouri farmer gets the cash. Imagine a Kansan, or a man from Iowa or Illi nois selling a yearling mule for over half a thousand dollars. The idea is preposterous. A mule buyer purchased these fancy songsters. Hle expects to make money on his investment, and it is reason able to suppose that he knows his ,business. When you come to think the matter over the price is not ex orbitant after all. The three-year-old span will be good for 20 years of serv ice, and will earn many times over the original sum paid for them. BONEMEAL GOOD FOR SWINE Good Results Obtained at Missourl and Nebraska'Stations-8trength S enlng to the Bones. All kinds of bonemeal are used in 'the manufacture of fertilizers, but not all kinds are suitable for feed for swine. Bonemeal from a glue factory which has gone through the process in which acid was used is not suitable •feed. But any bonemeal, especially green bone that is ground finely enough, may be fed. Steamed bone real is good. At the Missouri station bonemeal was fed with good results. About an ounce of meal was fed to each hog per da . At the Nebraska station four lot. of !pigs were fed to determine the value of wheat short, tankage and steamed ground bone as supplemental to corn meal. The hogs were pastured on !alfalfa, and for this reason the lot fed on corn alone made about as satis factory gain as any, although the lot which was fed bonemeal in addition to the corn had the strongest bone. Shorts strengthen the bone some, and tankage with corn produced much stronger bone thrn corn alone. Where mixed rations were given, or akim-milk or good pasture, all of which supply ash material, itis doubtful that bonemeal is'of much value other than for the purpose of strengthening the bones. .Ratlon for Lambs. The best ration for the lambs will not be the best ration for the ewes. Nevertheless &. fairly good though rather expensive ·feed mixture for both ot them will be oats, four parts; bran, four parts; corn, three parts; oil meal, two parts. If it were possi ble to separate the ewes from the lambs, it might'be advisable to give the lambs a larger proportion of corn and the ewes a smaller proportion of corn. Enough grain should be given to keep the ewes in good flesh, but not fat. The roughage ration for these sheep is not of first-class quality, and therefore it will be liecessary to give a good grain ration. Plants for Animals. Plants build up the dead matter in ,th.~earth into higher forms, in which process they store up the heat and energy of the ean. Animals eat plJants ,and set free the heat and energy which the 6,nts have stored U. WIDr ·~L~l~~fi_ ~~ - l ime To Act Don't wait for the Fatal Stages cf Kidney Trouble.
