iana's most energetic, progressive and
successful farmers. It follows:
Ten years ago there was practically no
attention paid to live stock in Caddo
Parish. However at that time this was
strictly speaking cotton country, and
very little feed stuffs were raised, at
least there was no surplus above the
amount needed for the work stock, SO
we could not expect much interest to be
taken in growing stock.
However, with the advent of the boil
weevil things have changed along these
lines. Now great deal of corn, oats
and other grains and large quantities of
of alfalfa, bermuda, pea vine and other
hays are raised, and great deal of in
terest is takeu in providing pasture
lands. The bermuda grass which was
considered only pest ten years ago is
now considered one of our most valuable
crops, either for hay or for pasture. |
don't think any grass will stand as much
rough treatment and give as long graz
ing as this same bermuda. Here we
get practically eight months good graz
ing from it, and sometimes even longer
during our milder winters.
We are just beginning to find out what
fine stock country Caddo Parish really
is, with our fine bottom pasture lands of
bermuda and other native grasses, and
many of the upland pastures are now
covered with lespedeza. Only this week
l saw bunch of cattle grazing on an
old field pasture that had perfect car
pet of lespedeza, and the cattle were in
as fine condition as if they had been
grain fed.
All lines of live stock are being i'm
proved, and bred up, and you will see
fine breed cattle, hogs, and horses all
over the parish. Some are only grading
up their cattle and hogs by using pure
bred males, while others are raising
registered animals to be sold as breed
ing stock.
Knight Brothers of Caspiana have a
very fine herd of Red Polls, also of Po-
land China hogs, and have always won
their share OF premiums at the Louisiana
State Fair. They are getting ready for
the State Fair this season fine herd,
which includes two year old male
weighing 1900 pounds, yearling bull
weighing 100 pounds, and number Of
other very fine registered animals.
Messrs. John Wemple and John SEN
tell of Dixie are raising some very fine
Berkshires, and Durocs; also mules.
They had some very fine mule colts at
the State Fair last year, and won the
blue ribbon there. Mr.. Wemple has a
pair Of two year old mules he started to
working when just two years old, and
they weighed 1000 pounds, in working
condition.
With intelligent breeding and good
attention we can raise as fine stock in
Caddo Parish as any place in the South
west, and with our mild climate and
long grazing season we should be able to
raise them at less cost than any other
section.
Our State Fair at Shreveport is doing
a great deal toward increasing the in
terest of the farmers in this most i'm
portant branch Of farming-the raising
of live stock. E. M. ADGER.
