FARMERS NEED PRINTED
STATIONERY.

The number of farmers who have
printed stationery is constantly in
creasing Every time one comes into
this Office and has some work done,
we are pleased, not only for the dol
lars and cents accruing to US from the
patronage, but because it shows that
they are waking up to the fact that a
printed letter-head or return card on
the envelope raises them above the
one-horse class, conveys in concise,
neat form much information about
their business, which it would take
some time for them to write out each
time, the whole giving clean-cut
business-like impression.
The additional cost is small and is
well-spent In view of the considera
tions mentioned. We note with graft
fication several new customers of this
kind during the past week.

DUTY ABOVE LIKING.

And now that the stable fly is &C
cused of transmitting pellagra as we'll
as infantile paralysis, your duty to
have your stable clean, if you possess
one, and to insist that your neighbors
keep theirs clean, is doubly important.
That question of ones neighbor.
How often one suffers nuisance be-
cause he hates to complain to neigh
Dor lest it be deemed unfriendly. A
lady confessed recently that she was
so much annoyed by the immense ma
nure pile that a neighbor maintained
in his city yard, that her family could
not sleep at night unless the windows
on that side Of the house we're kept
closed, but that she did nothing about
it, because she liked her neighbors
very much Liking has no place In a
matter of this kind, where the health
and comfort of her own family were
concerned as well as that of every one
in the vicinity, not excepting the mas
ter of the manure pile!

PRONE TO DESPAIR. =

Gov. Hall struck the core of the
ulcer, when in responding to the toast
Louisiana" at st. Patricks day ban
quet, among other frank statements he
said that the people of Louisiana de.
pended too much on outsiders for the
development of the state. This Is in.
deed what is the matter with Louisi
ana" Admitted on the one hand that
the Pelican state has a peerless soil
and climate, and on the other that ii
is beset by misfortune of food and in.
sect pests that have partially crippled
agricultural operations, at the same
time there is no excuse for the prone.
ness to complain shown by its people
the willingness to give up and let 9th.
ers undertake the states development.
There is no reason for them to de.
spair. Owners of lands heavily mort.
gagged, for instance, are ready to throw
up the sponge. They are looking for
purchasers, who will buy at a figure
that will give them something over and
above the mortgage, when if they would
exercise the same industry and econo-
my that they expect these purchasers
to display in order to live, they could
by selling only part Of their land, use
the remainder to such advantage that
they would be out of trouble. While
new settlers are desirable and very
welcome, yet If the home people could
be imbued with the same thrift and
courage that the immigrants are ex-
pected to have, the need for outside
help would be much less.
The real trouble is that too many in
Louisiana want to live in ante bellum
style on boil weeVil crops, and because
they can not possibly do So they COM
plain of everything but their own un-
reasonableness and lack of thrift. Peo-
pie that work-and at the same time
use their brains-are not failing to get
the rewards of their labor in Louisiana
They are not the calamity howlers of
whom Gov. Hall spoke in righteous
disapproval.

BANKERS WANT PROTECTION.

At the'recent convention of Division
| E, Louisiana Bankers Association, at
Baton Rouge, a resolution was intro
duced by Mr.. Joseph Gottlieb, presi-
dent OF the Louisiana National Bank,
urging that the association recommend
to the general assembly the adoption
of an act authorizing banks to forward
checks, bills and other negotiable paper
deposited by their customers, direct to
the drawee bank for payment or for
collection. The discussion of this res
olution brought out the surprising in
formation that when such paper is now
forwarded direct, it is considered neg
Iligence on the part of the forwarding
bank, which is compelled to act at it's
peril.
Mr. Gottlieb illustrated the dangers
of the present situation by reciting he
facts of the recent case of the Louisi-
ana National Bank versus the state
bank examiner In that case the LOU
isiana National Bank sent certain COM
mercial paper deposited by customer
of the Feliciana Bank G Trust Com
pany for payment, crediting the Gus
toner with the amount of the paper.

CATTLE TICK ARGUMENTS.

Tennessee is the first Southern state
to become entirely free of cattle ticks.
1t cost so cents per head of cattle to
accomplish it, and they are now worth
$500 per head more.
The United States census gives Lou
isiana about 100000 cattle; a gain of
$500 per head would increase the pres
ent value of the cattle in the state
81, 100000.
Madison is the first parish in Louisi-
ana to rid herself of cattle ticks, and
is now free of all Federal restrictions
and can ship her cattle anywhere. She
can also import improved cattle from
anywhere without their dying from
Texas fever, as the ticks which trans
NIT it have all been killed.
Southern hides with tick-marks on
them grade as No. 4. The same hides
without tick-marks grade as No. 2. The
difference Is three cents per pound, or,
on an average Southern hide weighing
AZ pounds, $1.26.
According to the statement of a
large Eastern tanner, Southern hides
that have had ticks on them are cut in
price from 20 to so per cent in that
section of the country.
A prominent Pennsylvania tanner
says that he can not now purchase
Southern hides with ticks, or tick
marks, as the injury shows through to
the dressed side of the leather.
Over one-quarter of the original tick
infested area in the South has been
totally cleaned of ticks and is now in
the free area of the country, just like
(any of the states above the tick quar-
antine line.
The dipping-vat and the standard
arsenical solution, aided by systematic
work, are responsible for all that has
been accomplished in tick eradication
work in the South.
!! So long as state has ticks, it will
be under Federal restrictions, and it's
cattle prevented from entering the
best markets AS soon as it is free of
ticks, the markets of the world will be
open to it's cattle.
So long as state has ticks, import
ed cattle are liable to die from Texas
fever AS soon as it is tick-free, cattle
may be imported from anywhere with
out risk of their dying from Texas
fever
Freedom from ticks is largely at the
basis of our future agricultural devel-
opment. Why not get rid of them once
and for all? Every good citizen should
heartily cooperate in this important
work.

ANY WAY BUT THE RIGHT ONE.

Says the Home and Farmstead of
Georgia: Senator Fletcher's BILL ere.
.ating Federal Land Banks provides
cheap money for the farmers who have
land to. offer as security. Well and
good, so far. But there is in it no pro-
vision and no hope for the tenant
farmer, however industrious, thrifty,
honest and aspiring he may be"
1t is not the land owning farmer who
needs and can not secure money. but
the land-needy farmer. He could easily
secure his desire-land-if those who
are holding three-fourths of it out of
use "for a rise" were made to face the
fact there would be no profit in hold
ing. Profit in holding would disappear
If taxes were taken off of improve
ments and put on sale value of land
alone If man in New York city
wishes to cross over into Brooklyn he
uses the Brooklyn bridge and gets
there at once. If he were to start out
to walk around the head of the river
he would not only likely be late and
probably never get to Brooklyn, but he
would at once be considered a fool
Yet the rural credit scheme simply ig-
nores the bridge and attempts to walk
around the head Of the river.
