GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR AND
AGENTS MEET AND PLAN FOR
CONTINUED SUCCESS.
FOURTEEN PARISHES FREE
All Agents Present Commented Upon
Spread of Education and Co-ope-
ration Which Made Outlook
For Victory Sure.
New Orleans.

new Orl6dQS---
Louisiana has done a wonderful
work in eradicating the cattle tick,
says DR.. E. |. Smith, the government
inspector in charge. He declared the
years campaign the most remarkable
conducted in any state, and gave some
amazing figures to the conference at
New Orleans of employees of the Unit
ed States Bureau of Animal Industry
Fourteen parishes were free of fed
eral quarantine when the season start
ed and the campaign was carried on
in fifty-one parishes, forty-twO Of
which did systematic eradication work
for the first time. DIR. Smith would
not say how many of the parishes
would be released this year, as the
decision may not be reached for an
other month or more
Dr.. E. P. FlL,-er, executive officer
of the Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, made several import
ant announcements in that regard.
One was that the parish which did
not clear itself and the obstructive IN
dividual would be classified as slack
ers impending the state and the war
food production and would be treated
as such with all the power the state
possessed. The other was that the
ing themselves and the state if they
did not report and aid in curing rein
festations, and that false chivalry in
concealing knowledge of failures to
dip would be considered condonsNg an
offense against the state.
The session developed new methods
being used in the fight. The dipping
every fourteen days is now a fixed
necessity. Horses and mules are being
dipped as well as cattle. One of the
main discussions was as to the length
of the dipping season, and it became
apparent the intent was to continde
until well into December, depending
upon the weather. DR.. Smith ~ald
that the proper policy was to dip until
the last tick was gone.
All the agents commented upon tire
spread of education and cooperation
which made the outlook for victory
sure. A conference af agents from
South Louisiana will be held at Don
aldsonvilIe within the next two weeks.
and a plan may be worked out by
which this section will be kept fully
in the fight, so that the state may re-
alize the determination to win out
next year.
Dr. Smith presided at the meeting
held in the United States District
Court, and Dr. w. F. Martak, chief
clerk of the state Office, was secre-
tary. Dr. Smith called attention TO
the progress of the year, all the more
commendable because of the immense
territory to cover. There were 250,000
dippings at the campaigns opening In
March, and the dippings had leaped TO
1,700,00O The largest number of watts
built in one month had been 827, and
there were now 4,500 vats.

Jeffrier to re-enter the ring. For many
months the big Californian refused to
consider the proposition. He reiterated
that he was tired of lighting, out of
training and that he had sufficient
money to last him a life time; that no
matter how big the purse might be 1t
could not lure him.
But nnally the folks began to play
upon Jefrs pride in the white race.
They pointed out that Jeff was the
only man who had a chance to take
the title from the negro. They I'm
plored. they begged. they beseeched.
They told JEFF that it was UP to him.
And In the end Jeffries gave his re-
Iuctant consent to go back into the
ring and tight just one more battle.
A purse OF s1o1 900 was hung up for
the battle Of which so per cent was to
go to the winner and 40 per cent to
the loser In addition to this each
fighter was guaranteed bonus of
$4,000 and each was assured of at
least $50, 600 more through the medium
of moving picture sales. 1t was a tre-
mendous sum--the biggest ever hung
nm IN ring history-but 1t was not this
that brought JefTries back. 1t was
only his desire to uphold the honor and
the lighting ability Of the white race
by dethroning Jack Johnson.
