What Fairs Should Do.

The officials, stockholders and
patrons Of the county, district
and state fairs of the Southwest
should be proud Of their success
in giving encouragement and
help to agriculture and home life
on the farm. It would be a very
difficult matter to estimate the
benefits these fairs have been to
the farmers and city people of
the Southwest. That there will
be more community, county and
districts fairs this year than
usual proves their popularity and
shows the enterprise and pro-
gress of towns and communities
where these fairs are to be held.
In order that such fairs may
be of the greatest possible bene.
fit to the country served by the
fair every farmer residing in that
territory should consider it his
duty as a citizen, interested in
progress to take his family to the
fair, and if possible, exhibit pro-
ducts to show what has been
done and is being accomplished
on his own farm for better farm.

The grazing ground for tens of
thousands of Northern and West

culture.
ITse of a tract of $4,000 acres
has been rendered gratis to the
Department of Agriculture by
the Great Southern Lumber Com
nanv on which this plan can be
nut into effect by way of starting
the movement. The formal ten
der of the land was made this af.
ternoon by Representative San
ders and W. H. Sullivan of Bo.
galuss.
Carl Vrooman, the assistant
secretary of agriculture, to whom
the tender was made, expects
decided good to result from the
plan, whereby the meat supply of
the country can be increased and
at the same time a large saving
made by substituting the grasses

feeds in the colder sections of the
country and in that portion of

state has been 80 prolonged that

herds for slaughter unless pas
turage can be found for them.
Mir. Sullivan told Mr., Vrooman
100000 cattle could be sustained
throughout the winter on the 50,-
900 acres that his company is
offering. With the coming of
spring this number Of cattle
could be doubled, he declared.
Mr.. Vrooman stated that the de.
partment long has been of the
opinion that Louisiana should be
one Of the great cattle raising
states Of the Union. The fact
that it produces luxuriant grasses
the year round and because it's
climate is sufficiently mild to
make it unnecessary to protect cat
to frem cold are great advantages
by few other localities.
He called attention to the fact
that in the past the prevalence
Of Che cattle tick in Louisiana
had initiated against the cattle
industry, but now, as the state is
rapidly being cleared OF ticks,
lais objection no longer holds. |
