Southwestern
Reflections

Contributed by Development Bureau)
A correspondent writes to the
Development Bureau to find a
market for his eggs. The man.
ner in which eggs are gathered
and marketed in Southwest Lou
isiana makes the answer to that
request a difficult one.
Of course eggs may be sold on
any market every day in the
week: but, it must be remember
ed eggs are not what they SEEM
The consumer in the cities wants
perfectly fresh eggs and is will
ing to pay for them; the mer-
chant wants to sell fresh eggs,
but he has only stale eggs to Of
fer.
What is the solution? The
answer is, put none but fresh
eggs on the market. This is
about the easiest thing in the
world to do, but unfortunately,

Latiolais Elected
Lafayette Sheriff

: F. NJ. Latiolais, for several
years city marshal of Lafayette,
was the successful candidate for
the Democratic nomination of
sheriff Of Lafayette parish, in
the second primary held last Sat
urday. Mr.. LasioIais defeated
his opponent, Ike Broussard, who
for many years served as sheriff
of Lafayette. but since his defeat
ten years, always a contender
for the lost plum, by the hand
some majority of 528 votes.
Mr.. Latiolais has many friends
in st. Landry, especially in this
city. where the outcome of the
Lafayette election was watched
with a great deal Of interest.
Mr.. Latiolais' unexpected large
majority is attributed, according
to reports current in Lafayette,
charges made against him by Mr..
Broussard of embezzlement,
only a few days berore the cleo
ton. Many Of the ardent sup
porters of the defeated candidate
voted for Mr.. Latiolais in the
second race.
The sheriff elect Of L~afafette
enjoys a large circle of relatives
in Opelousas and surrounding
country.

Every business house, has a

it is about the most difficult thing
ineShe world to make the pro-
dueer realize its simplicity and
Necessity.
How may it be done? The
first, the absolutely essential step
is, to get together. Forty far
mers living in the same neighbor-
hood agreeing to keep enough
hens to produce only three dozen
eggs per day on each farm, can
market their product every day,
thereby guaranteeing freshness
and securing from ten to fifty
per cent above current market
quotations.
There's plenty of good money
in this. The poultry business
appeals naturally to women and
girls, and by making them part
ners in the business the work
will be done well and the profits
to all will be large. But this re-
quires system, organization, CO.
operation, work.
The Southwest Louisiana
housewife with her early spring
broilers, can beat the western
poultry raiser to the gourmets of
Chicago and New York, and the
profits will raise the goose
flesh even on a New Orleans
commission merchant. She can
supply the breakfast tables of
New Orleans and Houston with
eggs not yet thirty-six hours old.
People who can do that have a
fortune within their grasp, and
the Southwest Louisiana house
wife can do it. But not with
the present slipshod methods.
Cooperation furnishes the key,
and the Southwest Louisiana De
velopment Bureau is the organi-
cation through which this CO.
operation can be obtained.
