Two Auction Sales During Farmers
Week

On August z there will be an auc-
ton of registered hogs, Durocs, big
boned Poland Chinas and Berkshires,
at the State University grounds,
Baton Rouge. These animals will be
consigned by different breeders OF
this state, from Mississippi and from
Texas, and will represent the best
blood lines to be had.
On August the sale will be deyo-
ted to Shorthorn, Hereford and An
gus cattle. The type Of animals that
will be consigned will be the ones
that are best suited for farm service
on the stock farms that are to be free
of cattle ticks. A few tick-immune
animals will be sold, but most Of them
will be- expected to go into the terri
tory where they can be protected
until the aEppletion of the eradi-
cation of the cattle tick.
It is hoped to make this an impor-
tant day in the history of livestock
Improvement in Louisiana. These
two sales will be the closing events
of the Farmers week at the Uniyer-
sity.

Foreigners VIII Emigrate.

Washington expects 4 ,333, 1000 I'M
migrants to return to Europe within
SIX months after the peace treaty IS
signed, end estimates that they will
carry with them an average Of $4,000
each.

however, small matter compared to
THE drainage of the country's labor
supply An official Of the Depart
ment Of Labor, in presenting the
above statistics, predicts a further
heavy draft on the South's labor re-
sources. The needs of the North and
West will be so urgent, he believes,
that no laws seeking to prevent labor
agencies from operating in the South
for the benefit Of other sections will
| be adequate for the protection of the
ISouthern farmer.
In this connection the report Of
MIR. III. Leavell of an investigation
made in Mississippi for the depart
ment Of labor is. Of interest. Mr..
Leavell is a Mississ;ppian, graduate
lof the state university, and a member
of Congress from his state.
IiC5EIHtiS& negro @W0Eh9TS$ Teifidli1ifiS
Satisfied at home in those parts of the
state where friendly contact between
white and colored leaders is main-
tanned; where good homes, living
wage, and full legal protection are
assured; and where efforts are. made
to educate the tenants to more re-
numeratiye methods Of farming.
These conditions he finds best devel-
oped in those counties where the per-
centage Of white #illiteracy is smallest.
In other words. intelligent whites
believe in a liberal and educative
policy for negroes and find that it
pays.
In Bolivar county, where labor is
most satisfactory and most securely
held, a Community Congress" is in
operation. 1t consists Of five white
representatives of each of the five
districts of the county, and of five
negro leaders. 1t deals with all
problems Of community interest and
developement automatically "
says Congressman Leavell, sit pro-
vides contracts between the local
leaders Of the two races Ia ways best
calculated to promote harmony, pros
perity, and opportunity.
