CATTLE AND CORN IN LOUISIANA

When 1 see the thousands of acres of grass that grows in North Louls1a- ma ripen and burned up each year, can not help thinking that if it were manufactured into beef it would go a long way in supplying the shortage that now exists. That Louisiana will eventually take it's place as one of the leading States in the production of beef is certain. We find here on Oakwood Ranch, where ten years ago there were five or six varieties of grass, more than twenty forage plants, besides red, white and crimson clover and lespedeza and alfalfa. We find where we pasture the heaviest the greatest number of grasses grow; es- pecially is this true where our sheep pasture, says the Fort Worth Live Stock Reporter.
 We think the scarity of cattle in Louisiana is largely due to the idea that cattle can not be raised profit ably where the tick exists. It Woulo be as logical to say that corn could not be grown where cockleburs grow That the tick is drawback is true but it can be overcome by little work, and the natural advantages arc SO 'many and so great that we think cattle can be raised at greater profi than on the high-priced land of tho North. Often 100 bushels of corn is grown to the acre by the primitive methods used. If planted and tended as in the cornbelt. it is bound tt average we'll up with it.-From Pin' Bluff Daily Graphic, Saturday, Jul. 19, 1913.

Father Lucey, at Pine Bluff, makes the good suggestion that mob violence may, to large extent, be eliminated in Arkansas by the formation in each community of 100 minute men, pledg- ed to uphold the law and protect the victim sought by the mob. Had there been an organization here, Sanford Lewis, negro though he was, would never have been beaten and trampled and strung up on Garrison avenue trolley pole. Ten men-yes one brave man bent on doing his duty could have saved Fort Smith that disgrace and saved the irresponsible members of that mob from the commission of a brutal crinie.--Ft Smith Times-Rec- ord.

happen to cotton if futures are | abolished and the market is narrow | ed.
 l There was no tobacco exchange and l no speculative trading in tobacco. l There was no means of broadening the market.
 The result was that the tobacco grower a few years ago throughout Kentucky found himself absolutely at the mercy of the buyer. Great manufacturing enterprises had resolved themselves into few groups. A buyer for one group would go to one market and buyer for another group would go to another market. They had a gentlemens agreement and did not bid against each other.
 man from the country would drive to the market and would find that the buyer was not in humor to trade that day.
  pressing him from behind the instead of a man having something to sell which another man desired he was placed in the attitude of a pleader for some one to buy thing into which he had put his strength and feat.
 The tobacco grower found himself
  to be a commercial and agricultural slave. In desperation he seized the first remedy at hand and that was the torch.
 The abolishment of futures would be the most dangerous thing that could happen to the southern small farmer.
 The existence of futures has done more than any single force to keep up the price of cotton and has prevented great recessions because of enormous temporary supplies.
 Short selling of stock and trading in futures were abolished by the people of Germany. So also were they abol- ished in France. An effort was made to abolish the same business in Eng land. |, The experiment in Germany was most disasterous to farmers and others, and those who demanded the law demanded it's repeal. There is no agitation in the wheat growing country for the abolishment | of the future board in grain. Western farmers have already gone through this fever and have thoroughly recov- l cred.
 | If there is an element of gambling | ill future dealings the gambling ir 1 foodstuff is worse than the gambling in clothing.
 We hear no one however, agitatins for the abolition of futures in grain.
