GOOD CATTLE ARE
BEING SACRIFICED

Most Louisiana farmers have prob
ably heard directly or indirectly Of the
serious drouth In westra Texas, bu,
perhaps have not thoughts Of its effect
on the cattle market. On account OF
this drouth high grade cattle In large
herds are being sold at Def prices. crii
herds are being sold at beef prices
This affords golden opportunity fol
Louisiana farmers 10 rescue this frst
class breeding stock from the siauehtef
house and al the same time improve
The class of cattle that lie being pro,
dueed In Louisiana.
Farmers interested in obtaining some
OF these cattle should communicate
with their parish demonstration agent
or with r. r. Benton, Jr., Live Stock
Extension Division, L. &. T.. either OF
whom will put them in touch with the
federal agents working In the Texas
district. Government specialists in
Texas are In close touch with the herds
that are for sale, and Il would be well
for persons interested to take I'm the
matter with them.--L. s. I. Press
