Ense-o6 AT the PostofT:ce at Davenport
as Second cIase Ratters
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1915-02-06

There are many interesting fea-
lures connected with the session of
the A. N E. conference which was
held In Covington last week, and at
tended by some of the most repre-
sentative negroes in the country. 1t
showed the progress made by the
negroes in the past fifty years.
The negro is strugg1ia>hard -
make good in this country, and
where there is a shiftless set, who
only strive to get by, there are 9th
ers who are making their way. They
are law-abiding citizens and their ef-
forts are to reach the unreached of
their race.
The ministers and visitors were
loud in their praises of the people
of Covington. Rev. H. W. Williams,
and the members of his church. with
the help Of the other colored people
of the city, were able to care for the
large delegation. DR.. c. E. Brooks,
who is making his home in Coving-
ton, led the delegation to the gener-
al conference which meets In Phila-
delphie, May, 1916. He was endors-
ed for the position of financial secre-
tary, which place is now held by
Prof. John r. Hawkins, layman.

average is now about Sc head less
than a year ago. This decline is
most noticeable in the cotton States
and in those States which make a
business of breeding horses for sale
in other sections Mules have de-
clined even more than horses, their
value being now s11.50 per head less
than q year ago. The explanation is
to be found in the depression on ac-
count of the cotton situation In the
South, which is the great market for
mules. An improvement in this re-
spect will do much to restore the de-
mand for horses, so tina tGovern-
ment specialists, while ridiculing the
notion of a horse famine, are con-
vinced that farmers will find it profit
able to use good work mares for
breeding more stock.
AS for hides, the situation is not
quite SO clear, but even here there
has been much gross exaggeration.
From two-fifths to less than one-half
of the leather used in this country
is imported, about Is per cent Of
the foreign hides coming from Ar
gentina, Is per cent from Canada,
II per cent from Mexico, s 1-2 per
cent from European Russia and 1-2
per cent from France. Since the
outbreak-of the war importations
have shown certain falling off,
those for September, 1914, for ex-
ample, being only 34,000,000 pounds
instead of 45,O00,00O pounds the

The educational mass meeting held
Friday night was one of the best ever
held in the history Of the conference.
There were present q large number
of white citizens of Covington, and
they received the highest coufeous
treatment by the negro ministers.
Special seats were reserved for them.
Rev. G. B. Billups preached the
Dnaal educational sermon. It<waB
full Of common sense advice from
every view point Addresses were
delivered by Rev. NJ. NJ. Penton,
D. D., of Atlanta, Ca, and the negro
philosopher and sociologist, DR.. r..
R. Wright, of Philadelphia, Pa, edit
or of the Christian Recorder, the
oldest negro journal in America.
Friday night the noted negro
newspaper correspondent, Charles
Stewart, of Chicago, ILL.,, delivered a
lecture using as his subject ''Sambo
Waxed Fat and Kicked This ad-
dress was practical, full of wit and
humor. He has often been called
the Bill Nye of the negro race.
The closing session Of the confer
ence was held Sunday. DR.. Wright
preached, and followed the ordina-
tion of deacons and elders, and Bish-
op ]. M. Conner appointed the min

year previous. There is, however,
little reason to suppose that this de-
crease will be permanent or of suffi-
cient Importance to create any real
scarcity. Since the great bulk of the
imported hides comes from countries
that are not at war, shipments are
not interfered with in any way, and
the only new factor to be considered
is the possibility Of an increased de-
mand by the warning countries.
1t is believed, however, that the
United States is now in a better con-
dition to face SUCH a situation than
for years past. The tide, it seems,
has turned. Instead of live stock
steadily decreasing year after year,
this year for the first time, as has
been said, all classes show an appre-
ciable increase. Including horses,
mules, milch cows, beef cattle, sheep,
and swine, there were on January 1,
1915, 7,712,0O0 more farm animals
in the United States than on Janu-
ary 1, 1914. The increase In the
total value was $7S,O24, 900, or 1.3
per cent. It is quite true that this
increase is not yet proportional to
the increase in. population, which is
approximately per cent; but the
fact that there is an increase, that
the tide seems definitely to have
turned, is regarded as sufficient
answer to alarming exaggerations
and misleading figures.-Weewly

MORE LIVE STOCK NOW THAN
YEARS AGO,
Government Statistics Contradict Re
ports Will Reach Unprecedent-
ed Figures.

For the first time in many years,
. information collected by the depart
ment shows that all classes of live
stock in the United States are in
creasing in numbers Thus the real
facts contradict, absolutely, sensa-
ticnal reports that prices for meat
and shoes would rise to unprecedent-
ed figures in the immediate future.
It has even been said that Govern
ment statistician predicted meat at
SO cents pound and shoes at $40
a pair within the next two years.
Such a prediction the real Govern
ment statisticians say, is quite un-
warranted.
On January l, for example, the
number Of beef cattle showed an In
crease of 3.4 per cent over the num-
ber a year ago, and an actual in
crease Of 1,212,OO0 head. Hitherto
the number of beef cattle in the Unit
ed States has declined steadily since
1910. There are also more much
cows in the country than last year,
the increase being 2.5 per cent, or
in numbers $4,000. Swine, how
ever, showed the greatest increase
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1915-02-06

of all classes-9.6 per cent. On
January l, 1914, there we're only
5S.933,000 swine in the country; on
January l, 1915, 64,61S,0OO. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
production of swine can be increased
more rapidly than that of other class
es of live stock and consequently an
enlarged demand can be met more
readily.
The prediction that 5O-cent meat
and SO shoes was accompanied by
the declaration that France aloine
has taken from America nearly 30O,-
900 horses within the last five
months and that other countries at
war have drawn upon our resources
In the same proportion. The facts
are that more horses were on the
farms of the United States ON Janu-
|ary l, 1915, than there were a year
before, the increase being $4,000
head, or IL per cent. So far from
France alone having taken 100000
horses from us, the total exports
since the war began have certainly
been much less than 100000 and
very likely not over $4,000. Since
there are approximately 25,000,OO0
horses altogether in the United
States, the drain on account of the
war is scarcely alarming.
It is, in fact, pointed out by Gov
ernment statisticians that the mark
ct value of farm horses has actually
declined to such an extent that the

TWIN GIRL BABIES DAY OLD,
BORN IN DIFFERENT YEARS.
Merry Life of Explanation Confronts
the Little Mckay Tots.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 31.-When
two baby girls in the Frankford Hos
pital grow up and write or tell when
they were born, one will say in 1914,
an dthe other in 1915.
II they remain so closely resembl-
ing each other as they ore now, they
will not need to tell that they are
twins, but If they do say it, there will
be some explaining to do.
They can prove 1t all right, though,
for the records at the hospital will
bear them out. The records are to
this effect:
Born to Mrs. Anna Mckay, of No.
1891 Hurley street, twin girls on De-
cember 81, 1914, and January 1,
1915.
The oldest of the twins was born
In the last, minute of the old year
and the other came to life with the
little Mr.. 1915.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics In
this city has no record Of a similar
case, and SO far as Is known these
baby birls have the distinction OF
being the first twins to be born in
different years.
