There is not the least doubt in
the world but that cattle and all
livestock of every description
will command a high price next
year, and every farmer who can
possibly carry his stock through
the winter will be well paid for
doing so. Crn is short in the
Northern States, as well as all
sorts Of roughage. Cattle and
hogs, anr even poultry of every
kind, will be rushed on the mark
ct at any old price they will
bring, with the result that next
spring there will be big short
age and a higher price, together
with an unusual demand, even
for second hand stuff. The South
has the advantage in this, that it
is so much easier to winter live
stock than in the North, if we
will but prepare for it. Our
winters are usually mild, and
some kind of a pasture can be
had practically the year round.
Do not get panicky and sell off
your live stock. You will be try
ing to replace them next spring
on bull parket.-Echo,

TWO WAYS TO HELP GET
BETTER PRICES FOR
COTTON.

Every fall the cotton growers
of the South have a great deal 10
saw about better prices Tor cot
ton and how to get them. me
usual talk is of holding for bet
fer prices. or of combining to con
troll prices or marketing methods.
With every such movement that
rests upon a basis of sound BUS
mess policy The Progressive
Farmer is in hearty sympathy /;
but there are other ways to Sc
cure better prices for cotton. In
deed. it is necessary for the far
mers of the South to give more
thought to the quality of the cot
ton they place on the market, 1t
they are ever to get the prices
they shorld for their crop. How
can they do it? Well, here IS
one entirely practical way point
ed out by Prof. J. F. Duggar IN
a recent address:
eve make mistake when,
after heavy rains that beat out a
part of the cotton, we pick up
tha, soiI-stained cotton and put
it in the same bag with the UNI
stained cotton. 1t seems TO me
that the lowering of the value
of all the cotton produced by the
inclusion of a few pounds of
-stainVd cotton reduces the
value of the entire bale by an
amount that would more than
pay for the separate picking Of
the mud stained cotton.
"My suggestion is that after
a storm the pickers be required
to pick only the white cotton;
then that the field be gone over
again and the stained cotton on
the ground picked up, kept sep
arate, and sold in a separate bale.
True, bale made up entirely
of stained cotton would sell at
a lower price than bale contain
ing only a few stains, but only
one bale in many would thus
contain stained cotton A few
pounds of stained cotton mixed
in with the white cotton serves
to depress the price of the whole;
that is, one pound of stained
cotton will depress the price of
say fifty pounds of white cotton
by at least one-fourth Of cent
per pound, which | think is
conservative estimate. This
would represent loss of about
thirteen cents for the fifty
pounds or about $1.30 per bale.
Frequently the depreciation will
be greater than this:
1t will be urged that it is inn
practicable to go over the field
twice within a short period. In
reply to this, let us remember

THE WYCHE ROAD.
Editor Enterprise, New iberia

Editor Enterprise, New Iberia,
La:
Dear SRI note by the pro-
ceedings Of the Police Jury,
recently published in your es-
timable paper, that we deem to
be no nearer to having a short
public road to st. Martinvllle,
than we have been for several
wears past. | understand that
the Police jury refuses to pay
Mr. Wyche $4500OO for his pres
ent Toll Road, claiming this prlce
excessive, offering him instead,
100000, and have instructed
their Attorney to enter SUIT
against him to secure a right OF
way for a new road practically
paralleling the Toll Road.
Not being an Attorney, l DO
not 90 into the merits of tins
legal controversy but it is btu
cation. another name for delay,
and besides there is always an
element of uncertainty in law
suit. and it may be quite while
vet before we get THIS right OF
way, if at all.
After this is secured, the pro
cedure is to advertise for BIDS,
let the contract. and IN due time
the road is built at considerable
cost and delay. But when cont
pleted it is a fresh, soft road,
and will require time for 1t to
harden sufficiently to accommo-
date the heavy traffic which IT
will be required to stand.
I'm the meantime the travelling
prpblic will be forced to patronlze

Editor Enterprise:
In the list oy publications
furnished me for free distrlbu-
ton by the Government, there
are three books of especial inter
est to farmers: The Agricul-
t,lral Yearbook, Diseases OF the
Horse, and Diseases of Cattle.
They are all nicely bound and
handsomely illustrated. | have
about thousand copies each of
the Yearbook for 1910, 1911, and
1912, but only a few hundred cop
les of the Horse and Cattle books.
As long as the supply of these
publications lasts, | shall be glad
to send a copy each to anyone
interested in agriculture, who
will request me.
Thanking you to publish this

eft of your farmer subscribers,

THE SEWERAGE.

We were shown a letter last
Thursday, addressed to Mr.. Chas
l.. Provost, a member of the
Sewerage Board from Mr.. Xavier
A. Kramer, of Mississippi, the
engineer in charge of the Sew
erage work who will arrive here
next Tuesday with copy OF the
plans and specifications of the
important project soon to be
passed on by the taxpayers of
New Iberia. From what we I'M
derstand the members Of the
Board, which consists of Messrs.
Edward Estorge. Jules Dreyfus,
Lazard King, Charles Gouguen
helm and C. L.. Provost intend
d making visit the latter part OF
next week to Houston, Texas,
where they will also get some
valuable information after which
they will give to the people a
statement Of its cost and all of
the particulars of the work and
the date of the election. 1t is
the general impression that the
City Commissioners will be en-
abled to hold the same day the
election for the general improve
ment tax which includes cutting
the canal to Grand Lake at the
most feasible point, paving of
Main street, extending the lights
and water mains, erecting first
class fire alarm system and giving
over certain amounts for the
maintenance of the public schools
of the City. All of these i'm
provements are necessary for the
advancement of New Iberia and
it behOOves the citizens to lend
their assistance to the projects
by voting the special taxes when
they are submitted. While there
will be two separate and dis
tinct elections the law compelling
its segregation, yet it is the in
tention to submit both PROPOSE
tiOns on the same date which
should be within the next forty
days. We have reasons to be
lieve our people know the inn
portance of all the contemplated
improvements and will give it
their unanimous approval.
