SHEEP INDUSTRY
ALL DOWN SOUTH

Here are some very interesting fig
ures, taken from a recent issue of
the Manufacturer Record:
| On April l, 1911, the were in the
United States 80, 761, 900 sheep of
shearing age. OF the total number.
6,O6S, 600. or something more than
10 per cent, were in the South. in
GLIDING Missouri. The wool produced
during the year, according to the re.
port of the National Association of
Wool Manufacturers, was, including
Ill. 600, 900 pounds of pulled wool.
31S. 547, 600 pounds of washed and
unwashed. Secured wool, not includ-
ing the pulled, yielded 1Oe, 966, 1876
pounds, valued at $50. 451, 377, of
which the South produced 16, 759, $3.50
pounds. valued at 81. 407, 631.
Virginia, with 100000 sheep of
shearing age, sold wooisto the amount
of 1888, 200, to say nothing of the
meat. The Southern States that beat
Virginia were West Virginia, with
600, 600 sheep; Tennessee with $780,
600; Kentucky with 100000; Mis-.
souri,, with 1880 and Texas
with 400. 900.
Twelve States in the Union had
moro than 1, 200, 900 sheep of shear
ing age, but only two of them we're
in the South Missouri and Texas
and the combined number in those
two States, 1850, 900, was not
equal the number in New Mexico
alone, while the 6,O6S, 900 in the
whole South was 4, 1872, 600 less than
the total in Montana, Wyom ing and
Idaho. Ohio hadmore than four times
ms many rs Kentucky and five times
rs many rs Virginia.
The three mountain States of the
West mentioned produced %, S78, $50
pounds of secured wool, nearly 81
per cent. of the toatl and IL, 119, 1876
pounds more than the whole South,
and more than half of the Southern
production came from Missouri and
Texas.
These few facts. revealed by the
actual figures" says the record,
ought to stir the South to n better
ing of the situation rs far as it la
concerned. There ia no natural reas ON
why mnny more sheep should not be
raised in quite large area there.
Aside from their value for food and
ms wool producers, sheep count for
much as natural builders up of the
soil. In recent years attempts have
been mnde to extend sheep raising,
but in many localities these have
been baked by the worthless cur.
Until general law against dogs in
the country can be forced, sheep rails
ing will have its disadvantages, but
II ought not to require much argu-
mcnt to persuade lawmakers that one
sheep is worth more than dozen ours
md that sheep owners are of more
value to the State than owners OF
logs that have to wander for their
food, "

Higher NOtcS Of FARMING

The man who is making this old
world of ours hum is the one who is
striking the higher notes.
Have you ever thought how many
more men there are who can sing
ba;sthan anything else? A man $
voice, so these men tell us, is best
adapted to singing on the lower
notes; and yet, bass alone is not very
inspiring. You let man go around
all the time singing bass and it would
get to be pretty monotonous. Wouldn' t
you by and by break out and asy," Do
let up on the dreary sound and get up
where the rest of us can sing with
you?"
Now, it is easy to drift along in
the lower levels of farm life; and a
man is SO apt to do it if he does not
watch himself pretty cosely. Get a
rut started and it. seems to be easy
and so natural for the wheels to slip
down into the little hollow. and stay
there till all The kings oxen can't
pull you out. Somehow it seems to be
asey to fall into loose and slpshod
ways of doing farm work. Have you
not found it so in your own exper-
fence? You get few cows about
you, or you have the habit of blowing
about so much land every year and
sowing just so much wheat or plant
ing so much corn, and doing the work
in just such way. 1t takes quite
Jostle t. stir you into different way
after you really get settled down into
this rut.
You are quite apt to laugh at the |
man who tells you that there is bet |
ter way of farm working; that he has
some cows that do thus and so. You
don't believe word of it
Now, what we want to do, and
what we must do if we keep up wi it'll
the procession in this day and age of
the world, is never to get down into
this way of thinking and dong our
work. Be bright. Be up to date. That
is what does the business.
You take it in the professional or
trades world at the present time and
the men who are winning the blue
'ib5ons are those who study new
Methods. Keep their eyes peeled for
lew plans ard never get discouraged.
Tie rhinute one of these men fvrgets
% climb. he is dead man. Do you
know that the records tell us that
l bout ninety per cent. Of the men in
business in the city make failure of
t? Why? Just because they are not
up too date in their methods.
And it is just so in farming. After
every last one of us there is the sharp
prod of competition. The world is full
Of bright young chaps who have been
away to school and learn how to do
things after modern approved met
hods, and they will either jostle us
out of the road or they will spur us
on to do things in better way than
we have been doing them.
Now, the question is, how are we
going to do this? All right to say we
are back numbers; tell us how to get
out of that list. All right. Here's
the recipe:

The result of the vote in the Dis
trict Judgeship race last Tuesday
between Hon. Thomas M. Milling
and Mr.. Percy Saint, was signal
and complete victory for the for
mer, carrying every precinct in
the parish and his majority doubl-
ing the vote Of his opponent. The
campaign for this position was
prosecuted with vigor and good

a fitting tribute to man of en-

Gueydan, of Vermilion, VINO ran

parish in the district gave Brous-

Judge O'Niell's
Great Race.

While the BANNER never enter
tanned the least doubt of the elec-
ton of Judge Charles A. O'Niell
to the bench of the State Supreme
Court from this, the Fourth District,
and while he is acknowledged to
be an able and popular jurist, it
little dreamed that he would
emerge from the contest with such
a magnificent vote, rolling up a
notch almost as high as, his four
opponents combined. He received
throughout the district a total of
1905 votes against 1854 for all his
opponents combined. His vote
was very large in all the parishes
comprising the district. Surely
this evidence of his worth and
popularity is something that
merits for Judge O'Niell the warm
est congratulations and none is so
glad to be able to extend these to
him than is the BANNER.
The next candidate to Judge
O'Niell is Judge Robt. r. Reid. Of
Tangipahoa, with a total of 1868
votes. A second primary will be
necessary to determine who the
candidate will be between these
two. This second primary is to
be held on the 24.h inst. Judge
O'Niell is preparing for this final
contest ard it is almost beyond
question that he will triumph by a
large majority over the gentleman
from Tangipahoa.

Roosevelt the Peoples Choice.

The straw vote in Lamoile county
shows a large majority in favor of
Roosevelt and the sentiment is strong
in other parts of the State for his
nomination, and, while we do not place
very much confidence in a straw vote as
determining final results, this feeling
among the vot srs is strong enough to
deserve consideration and should not be
ignored. If we turn back to the campaign
of 1908 and carefully review the condi-
tons and sentiment of the people, it will
be remembered that Roosevelt was the
most popular, most talked of and most
prominent candidate for president in
his party and could have been easily re-
nominated for that office. He took
himself out of the way and by word and
action did more than any other individ-
ual to place Mr.. Taft in office. The
people endorsed the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt, his policies and
the great progressive movements he
inaugurated, and Mr.. Taft was elected
on those principles, and with the firm
believe he would carry out those
policies to the letter. Some of them he
has, other he has not, and the greatest
and all important one of recognizing the
peoples wishes he has paid but little
attention to. A President holds his
office at the will of the people If he
runs counter to their wishes he must
expect to reap the consequences.
Dissatisfaction with Mr.. Taft and his
methods has been growing for a long
time. The common people feel he has
been untrue to their interests and the
principles upon which he was elected.
and have lost faith in him as a chief
executive. 1t is impossible to fool all
the people all the time, and the more
the administration organization seeks to
coerce the common people, the swifter
and more emphatic will be the upheaval.
Mr.. Roosevelt would gain no additional
honors, no greater world wide rec
ignition should he be reelected presi-
dent at this time. He does, however,
show patriotic interest in the affairs
of government and the welfare of the
people in placing himself in a position
to again assist in the progress he insti-
tuted and the work of uplifting the
common people for whom this Republic
was founded, and whose wishes must be
taken into consideration if the Constitu-
ton is to be maintained upon the
principle of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.-Groton
Times.
