Fine Stalk of Cotton.

Mr.. Louis Vallee, one of the
most progressive men of this parish,
has shown that he is good farmer
as we'll. Tuesday he brought in a
stalk of cotton that stood 6 feet
taft and was about S feet across at
the tips of the branches, from his
place. He states that he has forty
acres of this class of cotton. There
is absolutely no sign of any boil
weevils, in fact this parish is with
out boil weevils this year, due
much to the fact that a sleet and
snow covered the ground here for
several days during the latter part
of the winter, and that there are
more birds about the cotton fields,
especially cartridges, which are
noted for their ability in keeping
out the boil weevil.

Diseases Play
Havoc with Hogs

Diseases caused the swine breed
ers of Louisiana to lose ia SOC
hogs, valued at 81. 1898, 400 last
year according to report which,
has just been issued by the De
partment of Agriculture.
This is All average death rate OF
l25 per 1000 head. During 1918
the ratio was 40 per 1000 head
a total of 155. 800 head were lost.
The latest Census Reports. which
are dated January l., 1914, show
that there are 1893, 900 head OF
hogs in Louisiana and they are
valued at 81, 1S4. 900 or $500 per
head.

last year lost 1904 800 head hogs
from disease. Their total value
was SIS, 100000 and the death
ratee 119 per 1000.

Roads Being Repaired.

Much of the public roads are
being repaired preparatory to the
heavy hauling that is soon to be-
gin. In many instances, such as
Rice Cove section, is in horrible
condition, and rich portion of
that section is practically penned
off from Abbeville. There is talk
of organizing a drainage district
on large scale, which will be
necessary before good roads can be
had. For the past four or five
years the road known as the
Straton White road has been im-
passable, and the travelling has
been done through the fields.
This is an important matter and a
good drainage system should be
put in Immediately, not only for
the good of the roads, but there is
a large section of fertile land sub
ject to overflow, and unsafe for
cultivation.

Nation Facing
Meat Famine

Economic experts of the Federal
Government are giving the high
cost of living problem toughtful
consideration, and are investigating

On january /, 1914, the herd
numbered l44. 5O7, 900, compared
with 148, $50, 900 head a year ago.
The bulk of the nations de-
creased meat supply is in the swine
heed. Compared with last year
the number of hogs in the United
States has diminished 2,lS6, 600
head; cattle us, 900 head and sheep
1863, 900 head. The major por-
ton of the, increased values is
credited to the beef animals. The
value of all cattle, excluding mich
cows, when compared with last
year, shows an increase of $3.50, =
6S8. 900; swine have gained
SO, S42 900 in value, while sheep

CANADIANS ARE
ANXIOUS 70 GO

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 26.-A second
force for general service is being
gathered, although the work of mobil-
izing the first expeditionary army di-
vision of q, 900 men has not been COM
pleted.
The check which the British forces
received on the Franco-Belgian from
tier appears to have increased the en-
thusiasm in Canada for volunteering.
Troop trains moving to Camp Valcar-
tier, near Quebec, have been invaded
by volunteers who refused to be put
off, AS a result there are almost 30,-
900 infantry in camp when but 10000
were called for.
The Canadian authorities have de-
cided to make use of the men who
have shown such eagerness. They will
be kept and trained at Valcartier and
their number added to until there is a
second expeditionary division as large
as the first.
The first division will be put on
transports and started for Europe
about the middle of September There
will be no commandant appointed for
this overseas expeditionary force. 1t
has been decided that the Canadian
force will prove most useful if the var
ious regiments are designated with
British regiments. The Princess Pa
tricia light infantry regiment, more
than 1000 strong, will leave it's rem
devious at Ottawa Friday evening and
will sail from Montreal Saturday. This
will be the first force to leave Canada
for the front.
