Prepare to Save food and feed.
Construction of storage houses
for the conservation of food prod
ucts is being urged on all farmers
by the government as one of the
most effective ways by which the
nation can derive full benefit from
the enormous agricultural outturn
expected this year to meet the war
demands of the country and its al
lies.
Aroused by reports showing the
tremendous was e which has oc
curred in the past through neglect,
the United States Department of
Agriculture has launched a de
termined campaign to this end. It
is sought to impress oil growers
the necessity of not only producing
an adequacy of food crops, but of
placing them, after they have been
taken from the field, in dry houses
where they will not decay through
exposure of the weather.
All manner of foods are included
in the government’s plea on the
necessity for safe storage.
Construction of a tremendous
number of silos during the ap
proaching summer and early fall I
months is expected to result from j
the food conservation movement
inaugurated by the federal govern
ment at the beginning of the war.
Advices received from all parts i
of the Soutn indicate that it is be- i
ing impressed on farmers as nev
er before that the conservation of
stock food means the conservation
of food for the people. If other1
foods can be substiti t d for tt)ck. ;
it is pointed out. more grain will be j
left for use in feeding the pedple.
Land can be hastily prepared for
raising silage and other forage
crops at smell expense.
“The South must feed itself or
go hungry."

American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross, in or
der to facilitate its humane work
throughout the United States, has
divided the country into seven di
visions. One of these, the “Gulf
Division,” with headquarters in
New Orleans, covers the states of
Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Texas and Arkansas. The divis
ional director in charge of these
states is V/. J. Leppert, 601 Hen
ner Bldg., New Orleans, La.
All inquiries respecting the form
ation of chapters, branch chapters
and auxiliaries" in these states
should be addressed to the New
Orleans headquarters, so that the
business of the Gulf division will be
taken care of promptly. A com
plete campaign will be inaugurated
in the Gulf division to inspire the
people of the five states with a
thorough understanding of Red
Cross work, what it means for the
soldiers and sailors of the United
States and for the families of men
who are serving their country.
The work of the Red Cross, as
regards civilian relief, will also be
laid before the public and informa
tion will be spread broadcast as to
how every man, woman and child
in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Texas and Arkansas may help in
the mighty work of the humane
arm of the federal government.
All persons who desire to volun
teer for service in any department
of the Red Gross should write to
the New Orleans headquarters.
Any organizations of women in
these states that wish to form
either chapters, branch chapters,
auxiliaries or working units, can
receive explicit directions by com
municating with the New Orleans
headquarters.
Broad steps have been planned
whereby raw materials necessary
for hospital use will be shipped at
cost to Red Gross units in the five
states named so that women,
otherwise debarred from helping,
may profitably employ their time
for the nation's welfare.

Protect the Birds.
For every plant that is grown there
is somewhere an insect to attack it;
every farm, orchard and garden if
now infected with noxiohs weeds; for
every weed there is or once was u bird
that would eat the seed. Look at con
ditlons and see what a change has
taken place in the last 25 years. What
will it be at the end of the next 25
years? See what a burden we are
transferring to posterity—a crime that
the youngest child now on earth will
not live long enough to see corrected.—
