is good demand for pure bred
live stock in Louisiana and it is
confidently believed that sue
cessful sale could be conducted
at New Iberia, Louisiana. 1t is
desired to secure an ex-
preston from all who are inter-
ested in pure bred live stock as
to the probable success of such a
sale. 1t is the intention to for
ward all letters received to the
Agricultural Department of the
L. S. q. at Baton Rouge for the
purpose of arranging a sale at
New iberia if sufficient interest is
manifested. The Agricultural
Department of the L. s. u. ar
ranged and managed the sale at
Baton Rouge and could probably
have one conducted at New Ibe-

ish has been making many sales
Of fine Tennessee and Kentucky
mules for the past two months
despite the depressed conditions
of the farmers and Sugar plant
ers. Unfortunately for those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits,
the purchase of work animals
was made compulsory owing to
the Charlton that this section was
infested with during the past
summer and in order to continue
their farming operations the in
vestment Of more live stock was
necessary. The stock brought
here and put on sale by Mr.. Las
sale was really the finest ever
brought from the mule raising
