that country was a rolling prarle with
but very few fences, and a very small
portion of the land broken and culti-

Get Ready to Dip Your Cattle.

Eradication of the tick is es-
sential to the development of a
sound agricultural system in the
south. Land here is still cheap
and much of it is making no mon
ey for any one. The pasture sea-
son is long, feed can be produced
at a minimum cost, and only in
expensive shelter is required.
The tick by compelling quaran-
tines adds to the cost of getting
cattle to outside markets. Ticky
beeves cannot be transshipped
and must go to immediate slaugh-
ter. Free cattle can be trans
shipped to markets where mar
kets are higher or can be sold as
feeders. The difference in price
between ticky and free cattle
runs from one-half to one cent a
pound, or S. to $40 a head.
The tick kills imported pure
bred stock and thus makes ii
hard for the tick-infested regions
of the south to raise any but
scrub cattle. A yearling cali
from a pure-bred bull will weigh
from $50 to 600 pounds. Such q
calf is estimated to be worth SIC
to S23 more than a calf from
scrub stock. u. S. Department

anyone whose cotton was sold in
the one lot in the sale, and the
custom was an absolute necessity
in the interest of justice, as av-
eraging facilitates sales. On d.
rect examination Mr.. Parker
said that if two tables of cotton
were sold separately at the same
time. averaging would be abso-
lutely unjustifiable."
Yet some would have you be-
lieve that this man is the savior
of Louisiana-th the righteous Judge
and reformer, the one man pos
sessing all wisdom, all purity and
all authority to select your gov
ernor and denounce as undesira-
BILE and unworthy any man who
dares not bow the knee to his
august Rooseveltian dispenser of
spectacular performances"
Following this castigation from
Aswell, John M. Parker left
Natchitoches, nor did he hesitate
upon the order of his going. He
had no stomach for the meeting
scheduled for next day. but took
an automobile directly from the
scene Of his undoing and rode
across the country, where he
caught train for New Orleans.
From that date until the day of
the primary in January follow
ing John M. Parker scrupulous-
ly refrained from seeking any
further debates with DR.. Aswell.
DIR. Aswell explained in that
part of his speech quoted above
what averaging" cotton means
and how it is done. 1t must be
remembered in this connection
that John M. Parker is a cotton
commission merchant and is being
supported by the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange. Will he deny
that he made his fortune in this
line of business rather than as a
cotton planter? Will he deny
that it has been his custom as a
commission merchant to aver
age" the cotton Of his patrons
among the cotton planters and
farmers?
And yet we find this man, who
seeks to justify this practice,
asking the cotton farmers of
North Louisiana to vote for him
for the highest office in their
gift-this man who is the pet of
the sugar interests, who believes
in tariff protection and subsidies

enemy of the Democratic party
