sheep on his farm ten miles down
the Red River. Mr.. Williams
was driven down to see these
sheep by our parish demonstra-
tor, Mr.. R: L. Sloan. The grass
was said to be the best sod that
Mr.. Williams had seen in Louisi-
ana and the sheep pronounced to
be high class. Both Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Pinkley use high class
mutton rams and give their sheep
flocks good shelter and careful
attention at lambing time; the
percentage of lambs saved is
right around the hundred mark.
Instead of allowing soil fertili-
ty to be burned up every year in
grass fires this grazing land
should be taken care OF by sheep
and goats so that the fertility
might be saved to enrich the soil.
In Mr.. Miller's corral and shed
is collected the finest manure to
be had, just such manure as New
York millionaires buy at a long
price by the barrel to put on
their lawns and pay the freight
from Chicago stock yards be-
sides. With a comparatively
small cultivated area gooo sized
farm flock of sheep and goats
might easily be wintered on veil
vet bean forage and cottonseed
meal and at the same time pro-
duce the best fertilizer in the
world to put on money crop of
cotton.
Mr.. Sloan is very much inter
ested in sheep and goat promo
ton in Grant parish, and Mr..
Williams has been delegated to-
spend his entire time in LOUISE,
ana with view of making it a
much more productive State in
sheep, goats and wool. When.
burned over every year the cut
overis constantly becoming poor
Grand more unproductive, where
as if the grass were grazed off
by sheep and goats the process
of added fertility would reclaim
it for a productive system of
stock grazing and profitable agri-
culture.

Possibly the greater part of
the residents of Colfax and
Grant parish are not aware that
we have one of the most inter-
esting and instructive sheep ex-
periments now under way in the
State of Louisiana. For several
years the cut over areas of the
south have been attracting at
tention far and wide. Last win
ter a committee appointed by
the National Wool Growers As
ISOLATION of Salt Lake, Utah,
came to this State to investigate
sheep prospects. Many West
Texas sheep men have been
thinking about Louisiana, and in
one of the Florida parishes there
have been a thousand Angora
goats and their kids grazing since
March.
At Antonio. Grant parish, Mr..
H. A. Miller, a sheep rancher of
life long experience, has a corral
and the largest sheep shed
in Louisiana. Mr.. Millers's eve
flock number five hundred, and
without doubt the heaviest shear
ing flock of such in the State.
At six years old these ewes clip
ped an average of nine pounds
per head at the Antonio shed
last spring. and the last of June
Mr.. Miller marketed a deck of
lambs on the st. Louis market.
Early this past July, Mr.. G. P.
Williams. a representative Of the
Office of Sheep and Goat Exten-
sion of the United State DEPART
ment of Agriculture, spent three
days with Mr.. and Mrs. Miller at
their Antonio lodge. tramping the
whole range. Mr.. Miller dress
ed one of his lambs raised on
piney wood grass and Louisiana
cotton seed meal, and Mr.. Wilt
ans affirmed that there is no
manner of excuse why Louisi-
ana epicures should have to eat
chilled lamb from kansas City
and Chicago.
Mr.. H. G. Pinkley, another
Grant parish farmer. has one

E. J. Gay the Nominee for Senator.

E. J. Gay the Nominee for Senator.
After a conference with his
friends last Monday Judge L. E.
Hall decided to withdraw from
the race for Senator, and thus
Edward ]. Gay becomes the
nominee for the Broussard sue
cession.
This of cousre was the logical
thing to do under the circum-
stances, as Judge Hall had little
or no chance to escape defeat if
he had remained in the second
race. The chances were over
whelmingly against him. In the
primary held last week the vote
stood as follows: Gay 35, 083,
Hall Is. DAG. Overton 1902. To
win in a second primary Judge
Hall would have had to gain 49,
$50 of the Overton votes while
Mr.. Gay only got 1913 of them.
and then Hall would only have
one vote to spare.
All things being equal, how
ever. Judge Hall could only have
only received one-half of the
Overton vote. and that would
have left him nearly ten thousand
votes behind. Added to this was
the confident claim of Mr.. Gay
and his friends that he would
get Is per cent of the Overton
vote, and the generally accepted
idea is that this would have been
true. Thus it is a foregone con-
clusion that Judge Hall was un-
doubtedly beaten, and the only
logical thing for him to do was
to withdraw from the race.
