Meeting at Welsh High School-Two s
of Speakers Fall To Arrive.
Parish Demonstration agent H. C.
Fondren, Junior agecnts .. H,. LaRue
and Miss Overbey arrived in Welsh .t c
S2:30 Monday afternoon, acconpiiiied by
Profs. . H. Baylis and J. H. Preihn of
tce LEtenIion depairtment of the Lt,ui i
Sland State University, preparat~;r to 1
holdliing the farmer sh .ort coursl.e \h:Ch (
was adlvertised for the Auditorium for t
.Monday at 2 p. m.
(Owing to some tisunder'standing the (
buildin::g had not been heatedand it was i
d: nn i:id to repair to the high school c
bildiing, which would not only he torn
frititie, but also give the onp,i l in the
uppIer grades an opportunity to ii ar I
the.;, talks on agrlultural sucbj ctn.
which are of the most vital importance
just now.
C(l. Prescott who was to have I.t c n
wit h the party and deliver a patriot:c
anldress, tailed to arrive. A telegira:
to Mr. Fondren, Sunday, announced the 1
siimple fact that ('ol. Prescott could i;ot t
come. Prof. W. R. Perkins, another of'
the speakers adl one ot the mailI
springs of the meeting, he being eone oni
the best posted men on livestock and I
forage crops in the state, was also ab.
sent, due probably to misconnections i
on trains. Mr. Fondren felt the em
hatrassment of having advertised the.
meetings, and then being forced tor
apologize in a way for not being able to 1
carry out the program as announcid. I
However, the speakers, handled their 1
respective subjects in a way that left j
no doubt in the minds of their hearers
that pork and poultry are very essen- 1
tial in winning the world war. Mr. 1
Prehn who hails from New York state
and has spent most of his days in prac
tical poultry raising, spoke interest-.
ingly upon the subject of the tarm
flock. He stressed particularly the im- 1
portance of a good fleck of good chick- I
ens on every farm and in fact every
yardl, citing the fact that eggs and
poultry can be made to replace other
meats, thus releasing the usual con.
sumnltion of the latter to our own army,
and our allies in Europe. Mr. Prehn
urged every boy and girl to do their
bit in making .the home fl:ck just a
little more productive and profitable
by just a little better attention a id
care, urging the elimination of the
slacker hen and in her stead the thrift
hen and thrift egg.
Prof. Baylis who has charge of the I
corn and pig club work of the state
confined most of his remarks to club
work, pointing out the many possibil
ties before the boys of our state, ard
urging them as a patriotic duty to
raise a pig, even tho they might be
actuated by selfish motives, because of
the profit in pork production at present
prices, they would be doing their bit by
meeting one of our governments' great.
est needs. Mr. Baylis stressed strong
ly the importance of pastures for hogs,
calling attention to the large portion of
a hog's food requirements contained in
pasture grasses, cow peas, velvetbeans,
etc. Prof. Baylis urged the abolition
of the little, narrow hog pen and in its
stead some form of pasture where the
hog can make a good portion of his own
living. Baby beef clubs was also urgedl
as a means among the pupils as pro.
ducing more meat products.
Mr. Fondren who introduc d the
speakers prefaced this by a few rN
marks along the line of greater groin
production, especially corn, calling at
tion to the present high price of same
and the probability of its remaining
high, because of the whole countryhav.
ing turned to the greater consumption
tof corn products, in order that wheat
may be saved to our allies. Mr.Fondren
also urged every farmer who has corn
fit for seed to save it, as a serious conl
dition' exists now mn regard to seed
corn. The entire northern tier of corn
producing states are looking to the
south for seed, the crop having been
caught by frost too early to permit of
gathering dependable seed. So sarious
has the matter become that congress
has set aside over a million dollars as
an emergency fund with which to pnr
ciase seed corn for larmlers of tile corn
bcit that the crop fhr 1919 ma;y not fiall
shoitL of the nloa)l'lll production,.
1Mrs. R. S. Greer received a
telegram Wednesday from her
nelphew, Cyrus Shearer, Jr., an
nouncing the burial of his father,
Cyrus N. Shearer of La(Glange,
Ga. Mr. Shearer is a brother of
Mrs. (;reer and a well known
traveling salesman, having rep
resented Ferguson-McKinney of
St. Louis, Mo., for many years.
His death must have been sudden
as no particulars had been re
ceived other than a telegram Mon
day to advise his mother of his
serious illness.
Attorney Wallace Adams of
Jennings was a Welsh business
visitor today,.
Mis. Roy Davis returned Mon
day from a yisit to relatives in
Indiana.
I. R. Price, clerk of court, ad
vices that physical examinations
advertised to be held on Feb. 10,
are to be held on Feb. 11, on ac
count of the 10th coming on Sun
day.
