Even some of our corn stalks will be of some value in filling the shortage The real wise course lies in the direction of winter crops of oats, crmi'on clover. Abruzzi rye & e'c The time for planting these crops is pratically now here. Rye and crimson clover planted in Septem ber, will furnish good grazing in December and will all also be of gieat value as fertilizing crops to be turned under in the Spring. Oats will furnish good grazing & also furnish a crop of grain next May when our corn supply is run ning low. In addition to the feed ing value of these crops we must abo consider their va'ue as winter cover crops for our unoccu pied lands and the amount of hu mus that they will add to our hun gry soil is of itsell well wortn the labor and expense Uco.

Martin Jr. was a visi tor to New Orleans, F'riday Mr. and Mrs. James Blanchard are spending a few days here with relat.ves MANY HOGS SOLD FOR .LESS THAN VALUE Feed Crepa Should Be Utilized Far Fall Pork Production—Breeding Stock Must Be Kept. Farinera have been advised to pbuit an abundance of feed crops; and the only successful way to market such crops is to use them for finishing off live stock. If the stock Is sold beftxra the crops are produced. It defeats the very purpose for which the crops were planted Since the prices for boge have gone so high, buyers have Invaded many parts of Louisiana and are purchasing all the hogs they can get at prices approximating half the value of butcher hogs on the market. The prices paid have ranged from 6 cents to 8 or 9 cents a pound and many of those hogs have been subse quently sold at from 14 to 18 cent». A 66-pound pig at 8 cents brings less than f 6 60 The same pig Vf kept on pasturege with just enough grain to keep It in a thrifty and growing condition should easily finish-off st around 200 pounds next winter cr spring. At the present prices it would bring |26 to $35—the difference amounting to an average of say $S5 represents the farmer's feed crops pre pared for the market by feeding It to the growing pig. Now if he sells the pig before he puts tho teed into him and then cannot sell tha crop, it will bo a loss in erory way. ft is therefore thought doslrable to invite the attention of tho farmers to tljia question and to advise them not to sen any ttffbt, ymtng kege <h*» should be kept and finished ip tho tell or winter, and also to avoid sell ing any broed sows that may be need ed for increasing the number of hogs on the farm. It is not economical to sell hogs until they hava reached a at' 'stectory weight ter the slaughter htuso, or say 160 pounds ts a mini mum. If it becomes necessary to sell off part of the hog stock, the owner should keep posted on the markets and should probably insist on getting for young hogs not less than two thirds of the top prices tor finished hogs, or, in other words, when the top of the market is 15 cents a pound, hogs on the farm should not bring less than 10 cents If they are at ail promising for the market In six to ten months hence. It' should certainly be the aim of every farmer to keep enough nogs to supply his own meat for next year and. if possible, have a surplus for sale to his neighbors.— G E Nesom, Live Stock Extension Servie* Louis iana State University. THE BERRY CROP SHOULD BE SAVED Wild Fruit* of Many Kinds Annually Go To Waste In Louisiana. By utflialng to a greater extent tha wild fruits, such as dewberries, black berries, huckleberries, nute and mo» cadlnes, that are produced in abund ance in Louisiana and that largely go to wasto, an immense earing In food products could be effected. The blackberry crop la of particular im portance. They grow in profusion in abandoned field» and along the road sidee and are usually free for the gathering. Berries may be easily pre served by following the simple direc tions here given: Preservlno Berrlew. Practically the same methods are to be followed in preserving and mak ing jams of all berries. Berries should be gathered In shallow' trays or bas kets and not in doep vessela. whleh allow them to be bruised and crushed. They shouM be uniform, ripe, and sound. 6elf*ct only large, firm berries for preserving; the smaller and brok en ones may be used for making Jam. All berries should be sarefully sorted and lightly washed by pl&oing in a colander and pouring water over them rather than putting them Into a pan of water To retain tho boot possible oolor and flavor, syrup for preserved berries should be made of a berry Juice ob tained by crushing, heating and straining the softer, broken berries. Add 1 pint of sugar to each pint of berry Juice and allow to boil 10 min ute«. Weigh the choice perfect ber ries afttr removing the caps or stems and allow 1 pound of sugar extra for each pound of whole berries. Add the extra sugar to tho syrup, bring to a boil and skim. Remove from the flra and cool syrup before dropping the berries into it to prevent shriveling and toughening the fruit Place over the fire and bring slowly to a boil and simmer until the berries are heated through, being careful not to over {ccok; the berries should remain • whole. Lift the berries from the J syrup and place carefully into ohal ! low pans Poor syrup over them and \ allow to stand over night. Pack cold. 1 filling the jar with berries before pour ling 6yrr.p over them.
