few days in New Orleans, enjoying
the round trip on the Steamer VIM.

No more open-air dancing at the

of cool weather in the evenings.
G. B. Reuss came up Wednesday,
and joined his family in New Orleans
again Thursday.
All rice from here has been shipped,
the last batch of several thousand
sacks having been placed on the boats
this week. The highest yield in this
section is reported by A. Hymel &
CO., being over % sacks per acre on
a measured tract of sc acres.
Next Tuesday, the 28th, is dipping
day at the Germania vat. Every head
OF cattle in this ward will be dipped,
and most everybody is satisfied with
the good results obtained SO far.
Still there are few doubling Thorn
asses here and there who argue against
dipping, and who cannot see the i'm
mense benefit that will be derived
from having all the cattle freed of
ticks, but these few exceptions twill
be shown" before long. BOOSTER.

of the country to hold demonstra-

The Lemann Co., Ltd, who own
the Peytavin plantation adjacent to

of all land necessary for the demon

be plowed each day. The great in

planters and farmers all over the
country in these machines, which

UNITED EFFORT ESSENTIAL.
Ali Cattle Must Be Dipped if Tick is
to Be Eradicated.

The September dippings at the 81,
watts on the east bank of the river il
Ascension aggregated 1243 head o
cattle. The number immersed a
each vat, together with the dates o.
the last and next dippings, are .giver
as follows by Dipping Inspector Robt
E. Dill:
I. Germania, Sept. Z, 296; next dip
ping, Sept. %.
/ Crescent, Sept Ia, PA; next dip
/ ping, Oct. 5.
Brusly Mccall, Sept. Is, 81; next
dipping, Oct. s.
Donaldsonville, Sept 20, 312; next
/ dipping, Oct. II.
Evan Hall, Sept. 21, 1856; next
dipping, Oct. II.
eRiverside, Sept. p, 179; next dip
ping, Oct. IS.
/ While nearly all the cattle owners
in the various communities served by
these watts are giving their cordial sup
port to the tick eradication campaign,
the fact remains that until every sin
gle head of cattle has been immersed
at systematic intervals this territory
will not be declared tick-free and re-
leased from quarantine. No matter
how many head are dipped, if a few
head owned by some obstinate or
unprogressive farmer should fail to
be subjected to the process, the en-
tire campaign will prove of no avail
so far as the lifting Of the quaran-
tine is concerned.
cations this would be a real disad-
vantage is shown by recent circular
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. On Jan. 1, 1915,
the average price of beef cattle over
two years old was $48.47 per head in
the states where ticks are unknown
price in Louisiana was S24. Tick
infested cattle not only weigh less,
and therefore are worth less thar
tick-free cattle, but they bring less
per pound. In Connecticut the aver
age price per pound for cattle was
eight and half cents. In Louisiana
it was less than four cents. When
ticky cattle reach the markets they
must be handled in quarantine pens
and slaughtered Immediately. They |
cannot be reshipped to a better mar |
ket, OF sold for feeding purpores.
Consequently they bring only what
the local packing house cares to offer,
which is from one cent to four cents
4 pound less than the cattle from tick
free territory
Besides the increased value of
,ick-free cattle, the other substantial
benefits accruing from the dipping
process, in the way of improved
physical condition of the live stock
subjected to the periodical baths, are
uch as to make it we'll worth while
or every cattle owner to join in the
movement for tick eradication.
The public watts on the east bank of
he river, six in number, are nearing
ompletion, and the campaign will be
ctively instituted in that section of
he parish within the next few weeks.

Resolved, that as the construction

ment as to demand early provision
therefor, this board does. hereby petit
ton congress to, at it's next session,
make provision for the building of

upon the completion of the survey
provided for in the rivers and harbS \
bill of March 4, 1915, be deemed nee
essary by the United States engineers,
the cost thereof to be borne jointly
by the United States, the Lafourche
levee district and the Atchafalaya
levee district, in the proportion of
one-half by the United States and one
fourth each by the levee districts, as
discussed before the senate commit
tee on commerce in Washington, D.
c., in April, 1914, up to total cost
of 100000, a sum understood to be
sufficient to cover the cost of such
lock, etc., as estimated by the United
States engineers; the lock to be con-
structed by the United States govern
ment, and under the direction and
supervision, of its engineers.
Be it further resolved, that the
LafourcM basin levee district would

lock after completion, as seems to be

corded by the United States to other
similar navigable waterways of the
country, not justified, and the dis
riot would therefore appeal in it's
