Live stock and d.ver>l.icat!on vii
play very important part on the
sugar plantations toward increasing
the weld of cane and reducing the
expense on the farm. The bankers
and business men are becoming in
terested along these lines, and are
willing to co operate and lend any
assistance necaS Sary.

Bankers Agricultural Committee, OF
North Louisiana, | have succeedrd
IN getting two banks in st. Mary t0
agree to lend money to farmers to
buy pure bred live stock at a very
