Cattle Tick Meeting.

The big meeting held here Tuesday
morning, under the auspices of the
Southwest Louisiana Development
Bureau, at which the eradication of the
cattle tick, breeding cattle for the
market. dairving. silos aud other
kindred questions were discussed proved
10 be a big success.
The meeting was addressed by DR..
4. f.. Wight, of the Bureau of Animal
Industry OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who talked OIL the
cattle dipping.
Mr.. ". {. Chevis, manager of the
Southwest Louisiana Development
Burrau, talked along the lines necessary
for the work of devclopmet of this
section of the country, telling OF the
necessary cooperation relative to the
development. and other interesting
facts along this line.
DR.. W. II. Dalrvnple. of the Louis
lana State University, talked along tile
line of cattle dipping, pointing out the
MANY advantages of the dipping and
the advantages of not having the ticks
Pointing out very plainly that as long
as this section is Infested with ticks, so
long will this section be qudrInttned.
Aud that by getting rid of the cattle
tick, and raising the quarantine on
cattle from this section, will open , a
good market to the northern aut cas- tcrn
states, where better prices MAY bs had
for cattle. Besides, when we are rid of
the ticks our cattle will weigh more and,
i'll fact. the cost of keeping the tick, as
We understand it, is more to this section
than it would cost to fit our farms up
with silos and dipping watts. His talk
Was most heartily received, aud the
many who heard him talk appreciated
h s points aud the reasons lie brought
out.
Mr.. I. {. Qureau of the experimental
station of Crowley, being with the party
through here, gave a splendid talk on
animal tusbandry. His lalk also, was
highly appreciated, and great was the
benefit of his talk to the Inanv present.
The meeting. all i'll all, was one of
the best that this parish has ever had
the fortune of having, and while the
crowd was not as large as it should have
been, due to the fact that there were
not many of the people from the country
present. The audience was very repre-
sentative, and from now OF there will
be doubt, be a very noticeable improve
ment over the old way of trying to farm
One of the main points brought out at
the meeting was those farmers who are
making money on the farms are those
who have stock and that this section can
be improved on with very little effort

One of our citizens who
occasionally wipes the dishes
for his wife, became tired of
the job and refused, saying
that lit is not a man. work. "
Not feeling disposed to lose
his help she brought the
Bible ont to convince him of
his error and read as follows
from II Kings, 21:13; And
will wipe Jerusalem as a man
Syipeth adish, wiping it and
turning it upside down." 1t is

ticks, which infests cattle and
transmits disease. Individuals can
help by freeing their own cattle of

to do likewise. The ticks are
usually destroyed by dipping.

Build Up Our Town.

There seems to be quite a zeal
ousv among some business men, a
disposition to try to break down
their adversary i'll order to build
themselves up on their APP
ponent's downfall. This petty
feeling among rivals III business is
all wrong. The best way to build
up town is TO stand by every
man i'll the place, who does right.
Whenever a man is doing well do
not tear him down. All residents
should be AZ partners, not OPP
ponentS. Ia all livelilloodS the
more business your rival does the
more you will do. Every business
man who treats his customers hon
estly, courteously and fairly will
get his share, and the more bust
ness that can be secured by united
efforts, the better it will be for all.
When a town ceases to grow it be-
gins to die, and the more people
try to kill each Others business, the
more readily will utter ruin come
to all. Stand together for the adj
vancement of every citizen. If a
man shows ability to prosper do
not publ him back through jeal
ousy OF weigh him down through
cold indifference.
