A month ago he had come here in response to an urgent plea by Killian to the Cattlemen's Association, boasting that within a fortnight he could rid the range of the rustlers who had been conducting profitable operations at the Bar 10's expense.

"I guess," he admitted, "I ain't got no room for argument, Mr. Killian. Still, I'd like another whack at it. Give me one more 'week, at my own expense." Boss Killian gestured elaborately. "What can I lose? Go ahead.

J. WOOD MR. A. M. ROBINSON MR.

R. E. HARDWICK It is too bad that you are limited in ness to assume the responsibility of bearing their share of the burden. In each of the parishes, food production- goals have been adopted, in most instances with definite increases established as the objective. The farmers realize the needs are such that every crop acre and every farming facility should be put to its most productive use.

This means cropping a larger total acreage than in balancing production to obtain the maximum in food nutrients and fibers from available resources according to our needs. It also means avoiding soil destroying practices which would jeopardize the chances for continued high production in years immediately following. In other words, Louisiana farmers plan to bring the utmost efficiency to bear in their farming operations throughout this year. It must be so, otherwise they would be unable to reach the goals they have set for themselves. One of the most pressing problems this year will be to adjust livestock to the prospective supplies of feed.

This adjustment will result in a high level of meat production for 1944 and a somewhat lower level in 1945, but still far above pre-war years. According to the War Food Administration, it will be advisable for livestock and poultry producers to grow as 'much as possible of their feed requirements and to grow high-yielding feed crops. The farmers have approached their task realistically. They do not intend to squander their efforts with no promise the use of your automobile.

Fertilizer manufacturers have been busy producing supplies for the spring demand. Because storage bins are now full and delaying the manufacture of further materials, farmers are urged to buy their supplies at once and take immediate delivery. This will help relieve the situation considerably. Unless Louisiana farmers get their supplies now they may have difficulty when the spring rush develops. When the war is over.

Why were ey cutting back and forth, pausing occasionaUy to attempt beating off pursuit when the odds were so great against them? Presently the trio fled toward a butte. Buck and his riders, yeUing and shooting, followed. The moment, however, that the butte had obscured them from view of the camp, he called a halt.

They returned quietly, bunched together. And the instant they rounded the butte an astonishing sight met their eyes. A half dozen riders were skillfully hazing the cattle off in the opposite direction. The Mangham Junior 4-H Club held its regular meeting January 4th.

The trend toward national self-sufficiency of other nations in the production of agricultural products has caused a steady decline in the amount of agricultural commodities exported from this country. In 1932, 41.7 per cent of all exports from this country were agricultural products. By 1940 this figure had dropped to 8.8 per cent. Agricultural imports, making up 52 per cent of all imports, have held steady for the past 30 years, largely because the imports consist of commodities not widely produced in this country or of crops which we do not produce at all. The main agricultural imports have been rubber, sugar, coffee, jute, spices and various other products.

On the long march, our minds revert to home; To little children playing by the wayside; To vestures of a green lawn; To home with its big red roof. Our babies playing in a pile of sand.

Sincerely, HADDOX Our Great America ik JSylfym sai-3s Z3BEBSXTM in 1944 has been allocated to civilians of the nation, according to government reports. This allocation will allow about the same per capita civilian meat consumption in 1944 as in 1943. Military and war services are to get about 17 per cent of the total supply and our allies and other nations about 12 per cent. The remaining 4 per cent is set aside as an emergency reserve. The present consumption of meat is approximately 132 pounds per person per year, which is above the pre-war average of 126 pounds.

While these figures indicate a sufficient supply of meat for civilian use, it does not mean that persons will be able to secure all of the particular cuts of meat which they prefer- Louisiana farmers are now making the biggest contribution to the national meat supply that they have ever made.
