Forest products bring a normal income of 125 million dollars annually. Yet today the Louisiana forests are producing less than 50 per cent of their potential annual wealth. In short, Louisiana forests can be made to yield 250 million dollars annually and, to the fifty thousand men already engaged in forest industries, Q1TOA jBj NATIONAL FOR POLICE JUROR We are authorized to announce MR.

We welcomed them as partners in the fight against the Axis but we still don't understand them.

It is doubtful whether we ever will. Russia isn't at war with 29 million acres is classed as timber land. About 21 per cent of the timbered lands are owned by the farmers, the remainder by lumber companies and paper companies. The possibilities for the creating of additional wealth and employment are al i i New Orleans Charity Hospital Offers U. S.

Cadet Nurse Corps Congress recently passed a bill whereby all eligible applicants will receive a monthly stipend while in the School of Nursing. It is known as the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps. Charity Hospital at New Ot leans, Louisiana, has become affiliated with this program.

Here are a few facts that may be surprising to many: Last week I saw a tract of land that was bought as cut-over land for $1.00 per acre about 40 years ago. After it had been protected for 36 years one-third of the "tree crop" was harvested and yielded $50.00 per acre. With selective cutting and thinning it will continue to yield additional reve fore offered in the history of the schools of nursing.

Eligibility requirements for membership in the U.

S. Cadet Nurse Corps at Charity Hospital are: that the applicant be between 17 and 30 years of age, an applicant under 21 years must present a statement bearing the signature of her parent or legal guardian permitting her to enter the. Corps; that she retain a single marital status while in the school but she may marry after completion of the States. On the other hand, Stalin continues to complain about what he says is the failure by the United States and Britain to establish a western front, even though forces have cleaned up North Africa and the Mediterranean, captured Sicily and wiped out the power of Italy, and brought the French people to a point where they are ready to rejoin our fighting forces. Besides, we have bombed the daylights out of Germany itself, and have made it possible for Sweden to stop Hitler's force from carrying on their traffic between Norway and the German lines.

The man who looks at the map of the world finds it difficult to understand the criticism that comes out of Russia. Meanwhile the war goes on. It is perfectly clear, as it has been at all times, that the Atlantic Charter representing the principles of government as understood by the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great Britain never gained the approval of Russia, any more than the common doctrines of Russia will ever be accepted by Britain and our country. The fact is the English speaking people and the Russians and Chinese don't believe in the same political and social theories. All this ought not to obscure the fact that the United States, Britain, Russia, China and the rest of us are all fighting the same enemies.

There is no difference of opinion on that score. Inasmuch as we agree about the war it seems reasonable to hope and expect that after victory has been won the victories of peace will also be won. When we think "How about Russia," we must be broad-minded enough to acknowledge that the Russians have gone farther than the rest of us in the great struggle to crush Hitlerism as it exists throughout the world. We should be able to play ball with them in future years. or Hopkins, to the effect that through the medium of his short wave radio he had heard a message from Jess A.

About one-sixth of the total area of Winn parish was taken into a national forest some years ago. Under the contract the parish receives one-fourth of the income from sales after paying cost of administration.

Winn parish is now Beginning to reap some benefits from a project that many citizens thought a bad bargain. Yet last week a prominent official of the parish police jury stated that in 10 or 15 years, at the present rate of increased revenue from forest sales, Winn's part would be sufficient to eliminate entirely the parish police jury tax. By entering into contracts with the conservation department land-owners in a parish can materially increase the amount of severance taxes going to parish. In the case of pine timber, for instance, the parish's portion of the severance tax will be almost ten times as much with the, conservation contract as without. The state loses but it is compensated by the increased wealth and prosperity which results.

Most people have only a hazy idea of the wide uses of cotton in our present-day economy. Particularly meager is the general knowledge of the essential place cotton occupies in producing munitions of war. Bare statistics on the subject furnish rather astounding information, but they should be known in order to fully appreciate the importance, in the present wartime emergency, of the bumper crop to be harvested in Louisiana this fall. Too, it is necessary that the public at large understand the facts in order to lend full cooperation in recruiting harvest workers to take the place of the thousands who have gone from our farms into the armed forces and industrial services. It is not enough to say that cotton seed is needed tr nrn- At a regular meeting of Company 8th Battalion of the Louisiana State Guard located at Delhi, Louisiana, held on Friday night, August 13th, 1943, at the Delhi high school, the following made an official inspection: Governor Sam Jones, General Porter and Col.

Cole, of Baton Rouge. There were also present Col. Weir of Tallulah; Capt. Ensminger, Lt. Taylor and Lt.

Moore, of Winnsboro; and Capt. Martini. Over 95 per cent of the members of the company were present and had essential civilian services for the duration of the war. The Division of Nurse Education of the U. S.

Public Health service has given assurance that membership in the Corps does not mean that the student will be pressed into military service against her will. The Corps will be admitted as a part of the regular fall class on September 6 and 7, 1943. This class is known as the "Victory Class" and has been dedicated to Major General Chennault's Flying Tigers. Candidates for the class should apply to the Registrar's Office, School of Nursing, Charity Hospital, New Orleans 13, Louisiana. As a result of the meeting a definite forest program was adopted by the sub-committee of the Louisiana Economic Development recently organized in conjunction with the Forestry Division of the Conservation Department.

Among other things a youth program will be adopted modeled upon the 4-H club baby beef program. Prizes will be awarded youngsters with the best "crops of trees" annually. This will be treated as a farm crop which is what it is. Then, too, a text book will be completed and in use in the schools sometime during the coming session. This Wrecks At Start An east bound freight train on the Illinois Central railroad wrecked at Start early Wednesday morning, twenty-one box cars and gondolas leaving the track at the highway crossing.

The accident was caused by a broken rail. Within a few hours the derailed cars were moved out of the way and the torn up track rebuilt and traffic resumed. Until this could be done by a large force of laborers and two wreckers, several trains were detoured over the Missouri Pacific between Rayville and Monroe. No lives were lost as a result of the wreck. Opportunity to obtain credit by sweet potato growers who are members of the Production Credit association, has been announced.

It will cost from $10 to $25 per acre to properly establish a good permanent pasture in Louisiana, but once established, under proper management, and with good livestock, the returns, per acre, each year, should be from $25 to $50. PICK COTTON CLEAN When the harvester croes into th dustries asking for more trucks are springing up in one form or another from all types of business. In Steel magazine recently the menace to steel production due to the failure of motor transport was clearly emphasized and all over the country we find a rising chorus of demand for more trucks, trailers, parts and manpower for highway transportation.

The previous hip-h record was a per capita consumption of 342 eggs in 1927.

Yet, the equipment manufacturers have been far less articulate on this subject than have the users.

The fact of the matter is that two patriotic motives are behind the silence of the motor truck industry, both of them worthy enough in themselves, but combined it is very probable that they are harming the country more than they are doing good. When the freeze order was put on motor truck and trailer manufacture, the companies, by not complaining even though they had doubts regarding the wisdom of the policy demand of the armed forces and for lend-lease, means that poultry and egg production in the country must be kept at a high level if all demands are to be met.
