SWINE BREEDERS ACTIVE
ALONG MANY LINES.

The Louisiana swine breeders
believe in doing constructive
things. And they do not contine
their activities to producing ana
distributing fine hogs-althoug]
they might well rest on THEN
laurels in that line Of work for
through their efforts purebred
swine is being introduced into all
sections of the State-but attack
some of the larger problems af-
fecting the livestock industry as
a whole.
At their annual meeting, held
at the University in January.
1918, the swine breeders decided
that certain legislative measures
were necessary to the proper
growth and development of the
livestock industry Of the State,
and, having agreed on what was
needed, they set out to have these
measures passed. The result was
that our Of II measures advocated
by them, 10 were passed by the
legislature last summer.
At the meeting held at the Uni
versity February q. 1919, the
swine breeders put in motion plans
for a general gathering in Baton
Rouge next summer Of all live
stock interests of the State. 1t is
proposed that this meeting be held
about the time of the farmers
short course. Its purpose will be
to unity the efforts Of all live
stock and agric uItural interests
with the view Of improving conGr-
lions affecting these industries,
especially marketing conditions,
for the lack Of proper market ia
cilities is said to be the greatest
handicap to the livestock indus
try in Louisiana.
At the swine breeders meeting
it was decided also to make al
campaign for increasing the men,
bership Of the association. To!
this end the new secretary, j. b.
Francioni, agent in swine hus-
bandry Of the Extension Division,

claring his full sympathy with the
purpose to form an international
peace tribunal Senator Cummins of

world nation with polyglot and in

tions. disarmament and provision

never passed from him when the
lots were purchased in Hamp'on
by the defendants.
The lots originally were a part
of a tract of 100 acres TO which
Skies holds title.
The litigants experienced consid-

COUNCIL TO TELL
AUSTRIA. TO MAKE
PAYMENT ON DEBT

Paris, Tuesday, Feb. 25.-The su-
Breme council Of the peace confer
ence has decided. according to
Havas report, to telegraph to
Vienna asking that coupons of the
Austro- Hungarial deb,. falling due
or March ], be paid. This action
following a report before the caun-
ell BY Signor Crespi OF Italy on be-
half of the inter-allied financial
commission. who pointed out that
there are funds in -Hunga-
FIan banks to make the payment,
but expressed a fear that such pay
ment might create kind of prece-
dent which could later be used
against the different states OF the
former Austro- Hungarian empire.
The Czecho-Slovaks and others of
the political units that now are in
dependent saw in the use of these
funds a possible inference that they
might continue to be obligated to
an allegiance which they had re-
nounced. and they appealed to the
inter-allied financial commission
for a ruling on that point. This
has resulted IN assurances sent to
tie different states formerly part
ot Austria-Hungs that the use OF
this common fund in the payment
az interest on the war debt. will not
be construed as ohligating them for
the future. and the telegram to he
sent to Vienna, it is stated, will
soecify that the payments made on
the coupons will not affect the ap-
portionment of the Austro-Hunga-
rian debt among the various stat@
of the old MONARCHY.
It is understood that the present |
action of the allies in authorizing
the payment Of The interest was cue
