OF DECATUR
BANK HAS FORESIGHT
Says Rice is Best Food, and Should BIZ
Advertised.

Mr.. O. B. Goren of Decatur, ILL.,,
who has been spending few days in
Crowley, having come down to at
tend the reorganization meeting of
The Louisiana Irrigation and Mill COM
pany, is an enthusiastic believer in
southwest Louisiana and its future.
Mr.. Goren is president of the Milliken
National Bank of Decatur, bank tina
has over $2,O00,000 deposits, and the
Milliken estate is perhaps the largest
creditor of the L. |. NJ, outside of the
Interstate Bank and Trust company
of New Orleans. They are also stock
holders in the L. |. M.
In 1889 James M. Milliken, now de-
ceased, came to Crowley and pur-
chased large tract of land in Prairie
Hayes for $40 per acre. This land
would now sell for $40 an acre if it
was on the market. Mr.. Goren had
been considering selling the land but
since making this trip and looking
over the country has concluded he
would rather buy than sell.
81 have been here three or four
! times BEFORE" said Mr.. Goren, "but
the country looks better to me this
time than ever before, more substan-
tial. Looking at it from the stand
point of prices, as compared with the
price of land in my section, the price
is abnormally low, considering the
price of foodstuffs and other commod.
tiles. l don't understand why il
should be so low"
Speaking of rice, Mr.. Goren said
"Rice is one of the best of foods ant
fine to eat. 1t should be used fa
more extensively than it is. / under
stand the industry has been injured
considerably by certain New Orlean
spectators who create distrust il
the minds of buyers as to rice. an
glad to learn, however, that you ar
about to start an. advertising cam
paign that | am certain will hel
rice"
Mr.. Goren said the newspapers i
his section are publishing great des
this year about rice and its low cos
as a food, and while this publicity
' doing a great deal Of good it is nc
so impressive as paid advertising sue
y as is done by cereal companies.
. Mr.. Goren is enthusiastic about II
country and its prospects and sa!
if he was younger man he would sc
il out all his holdings in Illinois ar
d come here to live. The climate is f;
u better here and he considers the o.
IS portunities much better here thu
,e there.-Crowley Signal.

Pure-Bred Cattle and Hogs DISTRIBUTE
ed in Jefferson Davis.


Thirty-four pure-bred bulls and sew
en- pure bred cows have been brought
into Jefferson Davis parish during the
past two months. The bulls have been
widely distributed and will be used
in grading up the native stock.
Local banks are planning to assist
the farmers in restocking this and
adjacent parishes with hogs, with the
view of re-establishing the once profit
able pork industry which has been
almost destroyed by the ravages Of
the hog cholera. The plan is to pur-
chase a car Of hogs Of good breed
ing, treat them with anti-hOg chOlers
serum. and turn them over to the
farmers at a low price after they
have been kept in quarantine suffi-
cient length of time.
