Records in Tick Eradication.

Lauderdale county, Miss, and Ten.
sas parish, La, were released from
quarantine for Texas fever tick on
Sept. /, as part Of nearly 1000 square
miles of southern territory which
had been freed from this pest. 1t
seems that both of these counties
made unusual progress in getting
rid of the tick and so putting them
selves in a position where their cat
tie could be shipped to market with
out quarantine restrictions, and also
where they can safely import north
ern cattle for breeding or dairy pur-
poses
Lauderdale county began tick Grad
ication in earnest April L. 1914, and
through the active cooperation of
the local and federal authorities have
succeeded in Kidding the county of
this costly and dangerous pest in
five months.
In Tensas parish the police jury
appropriated $4,000 for tick eradica-
ton work in January, 1914. The
building of cattle-dipping watts was
commenced in February, and early in
April active dipping of cattle was in
augurated. Federal, state and par
ish authorities and individual cattle
owners co-operated harmoniously, SO
that Tensas parish also joined the
White area on Sept.
The success OF these two quick, in
tenslFe campaigns has stimulated cat
tie owners in other counties to con
slider similar plans in their own
neighborhoods, and it is believed the
coming year will see unusual activity
In these two states in extending the
territory that is free from the ex-
pensive and troublesome quarantine
restrictions
To help those who are individually
interested in dipping cattle to Grad
1cate the tick, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has prepared
special bulletins on the dipping OF
cattle and the preparation Of arseni-
cal dips, which will be sent free to
all who apply for Farmers Bulletins
Nos. 499 and 603.

FARM DEMONSTRATION EXHIBITS.
viii Be Shown at Louisiana Eair-Re-
suits of Co operation in State.

Under direction ST Mason Snowden,
| site agent in charge Of tho Louisiana
biHnch of this work, the agents OF the
CO operative Farm Demonstration Bu-
reAu are preparing for the biggest eS-
hibit they have ever shown at the 5iate
Fair at Shreveport. Almost every par
isf in the state Will be represented.
The demonstration movement has
spread over the greater portion Of
Louisiana, and the agents In every par
fsh in which it has taken root are cora
ufving with AR SnoWden'S request to
collect various agricultural specimens
for the Bureau'si#hi Doth in the gener-
al agricultural building at the tatr.
These exhibits will be evidence Of
what is being accomplished III LOUIS
ana by the Co-operatve Farm Iemon-
straiion department The results are
wonderful. aa viii be demonstrated by
the numerous fine specimens OF corn
cotton, hay oats and other dlVersll}cd
products One of the special lessons &c
be taught the visitors to this boom
is the tact that the demonstration
agents endeavor to save the FARMERS
labor and expense and at the same tIme
Increase their advantages and profits
This is done by the adoption and steady
use of the scientific and practical meth
DDS laid down by the demonstration
experts.
The farmers who take part in the
Demonstration Bureaus exhibit, VIII
also be entitled to participate for gen
eral agricultural premiums. Their pro,
ducts will be judged the same as all
other products entered in the premium
competition. And, in addition to lend
ing encouragement to the cooperative
demonstration work they may receive
prizes for best specimens displayed at
the Fair.
The State Fair Association, appreci-
ating the benefits derived from the
demonstra tive bureau, will pay for
shipping and other expenses connected
with the shipment of the exhibits to
Shreveport.

Protection Leyee. and Canal from
cancienne Canal to Gulf.

Protection Levee and Canal from
| cancienne Canal to Gulf.
The project started by Mr.. Gaoie
and a number Of Terrebonne, La
| fourche and Assumption property
owners, to build leYee from the
! Cancienne Canal to the Cult OF
Mexico. along the range line be-
| tween ranges 13 and IA east, to pro-
tect from future overflow that por-
| ton of each Of these parishes which
| was inundated by the waters OF the
Mississippi river from crevasses ABOVE
| Donaldsonville IN the spring OF 1917
seems to have met with the approval
| of the Atchafalaya leyee board, ac-
| cording to a statement made by JOS.
Humphrey, member of the board
from this parish.
At the last meeting of the board
in Baton Rouge some time ago
delegation of citizens from the three
parishes interested, headed by ME-
Gable, requested the board to order
a survey of the route along which it
is proposed to build the levee. The
request was granted and the engI-
neers will soon start the survey. II
it appears to be feasible PROJECT
from an engineering point Of view,
the 1evee board stands ready to ap-
propriate the necessary amount to put
the project through.
The Ieyee would run along the
western boundary of the three par
ishes mentioned and afford perfect
protection from overflows above DON
aldsonville. It being remembered
that the Lafourche ridge protects
Terrebonne parish from breaks below
Donaldsonville, this parish, if the
proposed levee is built, will be abso-
lutely immune from overflow.
The project contemplates the dig
ging of canal along the entire
route, the excavations from which
will form the levee. incidentally
the canal will drain Off thousands of
acres of prairie land, and furnish
additional drainage to the high lands
in the western part of each of the
parishes to be benefited.
In this parish the canal would in
tersect Bayou Black about ten miles
below Gibson and empty into Lake
Mechant At the intersection it
would be necessary to put in locks
to keep flood waters from backing up
the Black and inundatipg lands along
its banks.
