Where We Get Rattan.

Rattan is one of the most important
exports OF Singapore. although 1t does
not make large showing as to value,
being a comparatively cheap article
compared with it's bulk. Singapore Is
probably the leading export market for
rattans in the world, although practi-
cally none of the raw product Is pro-
duced in the Straits Settlements and
very little in the Federated Malay
States, most of it being collected from
the islands Of Sumatra, BOrneo, the
Celebes and smaller islands. Ordinarily
cut from the jungle by natives under
the direction Of Chinese merchants do
ing business in the interior, it is bought
up by large dealers in the principal
towns and eventually sold to Singapore
buyers in bundles as 1t comes originally
from the jungle. The buyers in Singa
pore take the rattan in this form anc
put it through process Of selection
and cleaning, after which it is bundled
together according to grade and ship
ped direct to Europe or to this coun
| try.

ARTHUR j. NEWMAN
Save ath Female Animals.
IS. Bossier people always welcome

The prices Obtainable for cattle and
hogs ut the present time offer strong
inducement to sell, even the female
stock, which is difficult to overcome.
And yet, if owners will give little
thought to the future, their better judg-
mcnt will certainly suggest the feten-
ton of sufficient number of the
Younger female animals. especially, to
maintain the supply and meet the de-
mand for next year at least. if not for
longer, which will undoubtedly be great
owing to war conditions.
1t is a fact that, while many cattle
have recently been brought into Louis
lana from the drOuth-Stricken sections
of Texas, great numbers of both cattle
and hogs are being disposed Of, ire
spective of sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that ut present can be
had for them. There is an old saying
that Money counts But how long Is
| it going to count" if our stOckmen dis
pose of their female foundations, and
| afterwards find out, when too late.
| that they have deprived themselves Of
| the necessary females to breed from,
/ and are short Of stock to sell another
/ year when prices will be just as high.
/ if not higher!
If this practice is persisted in 1t Is
going to result in a shortage OF meat
animals when they may be needed even
more than at the present time. In
other words, it is not going to conserve
the meat supply for ourselves and oul
allies, nor is it going to be the mos'
profitable to stock owners themselves
l. 1t may BE quite permissible to ge
rid Of reasonable number OF the oil
and Improbable female stuff, but there
should be rigid line drawn ut TIN
Younger female stock, IL we hope tt
maintain and increase the supply, ant
meet the future demands for meat ami
mails, which is not only common sens'
proposition, hut a profitable one, and |
patriotic duty demanded Of our peopl
} in the present world crisis in whicl
our country is a participant.
