to obtain new sources of revenue
so as to provide relief for form

common agreement as the best
mode of procedure.
Many suggestions have been

more than three score bills. The
problem has been made more diff

the various organizations. There
was the promise today that har-

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By R. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

Blackleg is a contagious dis.
ease among yearling cattle thai
has killed many Of the latest
yearlings on the range. The ami
NAL will come up stiff or lame
and after few hours to a day
or two at longest will be unable
to get an its feet, death usually
resulting in one to two days.
There is no cure once the animal
gets this disease but it is easy to
prevent by vaccination which is
comparatively cheap. The dis
ease is worse from May till Sep
TENDER. To do the most good
vaccination should be practised
in March and April which will
immunize for a year.

Exaggerations That Hurt the Whole
State of Louisiana.

state Oh LOulSland.
Perhaps no other thing has
done more to hurt and hinder the
progress and prosperity of Lou
isiana than the exaggerated, mis-.
leading statements that are con.
tinualIy being published as to the
swamps and overflow conditions
in this. State.
Our attention has been called
to the untrue and excessive ex.
aggeration of facts that our
police jury seems to have un-
Willingly endorsed in their pro.
ceedings which were published
in the Chronicle last week. In
the resolutions relating to the
proposed route Of the Pershing
Highway through Grant parish,
this statement occurs:
THE road via the western
route will be submerged pro-
badly "a of the year and pos
sibIy more, with unusual
rains"
AS matter of fact there has
never been a time within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant
when the route designated has
been submerged by overflow for
a period of as much as one-tenth
of a year, and then only one time
in a year of unusually high and
prolonged overflow.
In residence Of over AZ years
at Colfax we have seen about six
overfows. say one in seven years,
which seems to be about the
average of overflow recurrence.
The duration of the crest of these
overfows averaged 10 to IL days,
and in only one instance did it
exceed this, when it lasted about
81 days.
One year we had two overfows
and the-duration Of the food tide
Of both of them only lasted about
three weeks.
All of this is information in
which the people of other States
are totally lacking, and it seems
to be little understood by the
people living in the hill sections
of the State. We believe it
would be for the good of the
State if some authentic and re-
liable statement of the facts were
published. Many thousands of
people live and prosper and are
healthy and happy on the social
ed "overfowed lands of Louisi-
ana"
