LOUISIANA FARMERS BUY TEX.
AS CATTLE.

Since the first of July about six
thousand head of cattle have been
shipped into Louisiana from the
drouth-stricken Texas ranges, &C
cording to r. H. Benton, Jr., beef
cattle specialist, Extension Division,
louisiana State University. Mr.. Ben
ton has lately returned from Texas,
where he spent some time in the in
terest of the Louisiana cattle indus
try.
''Most Of the cattle being shipped
into Louisiana are heifers and young
calves" says Mr.. Benton. "Heifers
weighing from four hundred to five
hundred pounds are being sold at for
ty to sixty dollars head, and good
steers at about the same prices. None
Of the pure-bred cattle is being sacri-
feed, but one can secure very high
grades"
Prospective purchasers are advised
by Mr.. Benton not to buy cattle that
are too old or too poor, as such
stock will not prove profitable. He is
another trip to Texas during |
the first week in October, and would /
be glad to hear from persons who
wish to purchase some CATTLE. s.
