STANDARDIZING LIVE
STOCK BREEDS

The farm bureau of Grafton County,
N. H., is demonstrating how such an
organization can help develop COM
munity enterprises. The community
chairman in Oxford found that fifteen
farmers in his immediate vicinity own
ed pure-bred Berkshire hogs. He felt
this was a good foundation for STAN
dardizing the swine of the community,
and asked the county agent for assist
ance in Strengthening and extending In
terest in one breed. He arranged a
meeting at which the county agent set
forth the advantages of communities
specializing in one breed. As a re-
suit the farmers formed a breeding as
sociation and voted to hold sale of
registered stock each year. Many ex-
amples show the value Of community
breeding certain line of stock rather
than each member of the community
proceeding along his own individual
line, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

LEESVILLE GOOSE
EGGS DERIDDER

Leesville scored its first shutout last
Friday against the DeRidder crew
when they licked them by score of
g to 0.
In the first inning Leesyille found
the Beauregard south-paw for six hits
scoring 7 runs.
Barring the first inning. the game
was fast and furious, Leesville scoring
one each in the seventh and eighth.
At no stage of the game was Allen
in hole, the visitors getting total
of three hits and they widely scattered.
The visiting scew got two runners on
second, but third could have been in
Hawthorne so far as DeRidder was
concerned, not man even had an
idea of reaching that sack.

makes it more worth the farmers while
to take every precaution to prevent loss
from disease in his swine herd.
One thing that made it possible for
America to supply the Allies with meat
was the fact that within the last few
years the State and Federal authori-
ties and those working with them have
learned good deal about handling
hog cholera. IF the old bugbear of the
swine industry had been permitted to
put in such destructive blows in the
last three or four years as it did in
1913 and 1914 there would have been
many porkless days.
The fact that the war is over should
lead no one to think that the fight
against hog cholera can be slackened
in the least. The ultimate object of
the United Staes Department of Agri-
culture is absolute elimination of the
disease from American farms. How
ever, complete eradication can hardly
be expected until all farmers join in
the campaigns.
Hog Cholera DOn'ts
IF cholera exists in your herd or in
your neighborhood-
|. Don't visit your neighbor.
2. Don't let your dog run at large.
3. Don't keep pigeons about.
4, Don't let your sick hogs get off the
farm.
5. Don't let your neighbor's hogs hang
around your pens.
6. Don't let your hogs run to streams
nor on highways sA
7. Don't buy straw or refuse from a
neighbor whose hogs have cholera.
8, Don't allow any carcass to remain
unburied.
9. Don't borrow OF an farm imple-
ments. =

LEARN ABOUT HOG CHOLERA BE-
FORE IT GETS INTO YOUR HERD

The United States Department of
Agriculture and the State Agricultural
Colleges have done a vast amount OF
work in learning how to prevent and
control hog cholera. From these two
sources you can get information on how
to prevent this disease, and how to
treat it once it gets started in your
herd. Both agencies have published
bulletins on this disease. You can get
them for the asking. Your county
agent and your local veterinarian can
also advist you. Ask the United States

Never was it so important for farm

hog would sell for $42. In 1913. the

era was begun by the Government,

MISS McCALLUM
VISITS CANNING CLUB

Miss Carrie McCallum. the Home
Demonstration Agent has been visiting
various canning clubs during the past
week or so and helping the girls get
their exhibits ready for the fair.
On Monday and Tuesday she visited
Anacoco and Hornbeck. At Anacoco,
there is only one girl. but she is an en-
thusiastic member and one who is ex-
ceedingly interested in the canning.
She expects to accompany Miss Nc
Callum to Baton Rouge in August to
attend the short course held August | I
to l6. AItho but fifteen years of age,
she shows an exceptional interest in
the work, having already had the
pleasure of attending the short course
in 1917. Her work will be exhibited
at the Parish Fair and also at the
State Fair.
At Hornbeck there are fifteen girls
who met with Miss McCallum and cam
ned green tomato pickles.
On Friday of this week, Miss Nc
CalIum went to Davis New School
where the Canning Club met to put up
exhibits for the Parish and State fairs.
Vernon Parish Fair begins October
fifteenth and closes the eighteenth.
Now is the time to begin your exhibit.
IF everyone will start now, we will have

State and Federal Aid
Is Promised for Vernon
Total Of $425,OOO To Be Spent Here;
State Engineers Expected Soon
to Survey.

Nearly half million dollars is prom
ised definitely for road building in Ver-
non Parish, according to reports brot
from New Orleans. Under the law the
State and Federal Governments prom
ise to put substantially an equal a.
mount to funds raised by parishes for
road building. The Vernon Parish
bonds for $225.000 will be matched
by 100000 of State and Federal
money.
In order to make these sums avail
able and to insure them being expend-
ed according to the regulations and
rules regarding road building, the
the State or Federal Government will
probably send an engineer here to
oversee the roadbuilding. Specifica-
tons will also probably be made out
by the State and Federal government
engineers.
An engineer is expected to arrive at
almost any time now to make prelim-
mary surveys. While the general
courses. are determined, there are many
points to be made clear and decided
on.
The original appropriation by Ver-
non Parish is for the construction of
40 miles of improved roads. With the
appropriation virtually doubled, the
road milage ought to be about twice
as great, giving a total of about 20
miles in each of four directions from
Leesville, if this is the course decided
on for the additional appropriation.
As the parish boundary to the south
is about Is miles from LeesviIle, it
means that Vernon will have complet-
ed her portion of the highway running
north and south; for the north bound
airy is only about IS miles. By COM
pleting her portion of the north and
south main highway from Shreveport
to Lake Charles, Vernon will have set
a good example to other parishes.
ihIs appropriation should be ample
to complete the highway to the Texas
border if this course is decided on, and
to extend the east boundary we'll to-
ward Rapides Parish. With four main
highways, the problem of connecting
up laterals would be comparatively
simple one.
Very few parishes with as small pop
ulation can boast Of such highway ex-
penditure, as this means about $40
for each man, woman, and child in
the parish. The expenditure of this
sum at one time is quite a noteworthy
achievement and puts Vernon into the
front rank Of parishes taking leading
part in development work.
