TICK ERADICATION IS
ESSENTIAL IF CATTLE
INDUSTRY IS FOLLOWED

Walter Colbert, President of the
Carter County Free Fair Association,
, was asked for MS views on the
countrywide campaign now being
waged by state and federal authorl.
ties against the cattle tick In Car
ter county, and he was very emphat-
ic In his assertion that the campaign
was the best thing that could pos
sibly happen to the cattle industry
in this section. He said that he
wanted to see Carter county entire
ly free CT the cattle tick, and the
only way to accomplish this end was
for people to comply with the law
and dip their cattle whenever ordered
to do so by the county inspector.
Il don't care If they ask me to
dip every week, l will freely do so
in order to make Carter county
Clean" said Mr.. Colbert, "and 1 want
TO see every cattleman, whether he
owns q large or small herd also
every owner Of one or more animals,
come up and help in this work by
dipping the stock when told by the
proper author ties to do So"
That is the only way in which
Carter county can become free Of
ticks.
"Wc have had no violence, such as
: has disgraced some of the northern
counties in the state, over this dip
ping proposition, and I hope we will
not have, but If dynamite is resorted
to by any who oppose dipping, l will
assist in raising money for a reward
with figures So high that the best
friend Of the perpetrator will give
him, or them away to get the money"
MIR. Colbert stated further that he
could not understand why any man
should oppose this law. The grade of
their cattle as compared with what
they were a few years ago is the
best evidence that the law is good
thing and he says the work now un-
der way by Dr. Scott and w. p
Martin, county inspector, should re-
ceive the warmest commentator from
every good citizen who believes in
progress and better living conditions
on the farms and ranches.

ALLIGATOR STEAKS ADD
PIQUANCY TO MARINES FARE

Managua, Nicaragua, May 2S.-Per-
haps alligator steaks would never
appeal to the fastidious diners in first
class restaurants, but U. S. Marines
attached to the American Legation
Guard here, say they are the real
thing for adding piquancy to the
daily fare.

When the skin is removed steaks are

The meat is clear white, is palata-

Another variety in the bill of fare
Is broiled lizard. The iguana, or
giant lizard, has been used for food
by the natives for many years. The
Marines say that iguanas make fine
chow, but they prefer alligator for

richest section of it's kind in the
world. However, while nature has
done much, it has not done it all.
There is something left for man tc
do. Charles Ekers and wife through
the scientific cultivation of less than
quarter of an acre in strawberries
this season made a yield which
netted them more than thousand
dollars. Every acre of Hammond
silt loan in these two sister parishes
could be made to yield like the Elk
ers-provided they are given the
same intensive cultivation. But al
ter all have we, Mr.. Average Citi-
zen, learned our lesson yet? Is it
not true that we still have something
in common with the opinionatei
Dutchman of the Ranger Field.
Since the division of the parish
into 25 drainage districts there has
been lots Of discussion, but SO far
unfortunately the discussion has TAX
en- a destructive rather than c)1-
structive course. Instead of concsn-
trating on the doughnut a surprising
large per cent of our citizens as yet
are unable to see anything but the
hole in the doughnut.
Perhaps, Mr. Arnett, who original
ed the plan of dividing the parish
into the 25 drainage districts, has
not made the reasons therefor as
plain as they. might be made. In a
general way @ was explained to the
Police Jury by Engineer Hucka bv
that the divisions are natural di-
visions, lines that any engineer
would likely follow in order to eff2"t
the economical drainage of the par
ish as a whole. And it was Thought
that if this division was made at
one operation it would thereby effect
economies and prevent inaccuracies
likely to occur If done in piece-mea..
In mapping out plan of p"o-
cedure, Mr.. Arnett recommended to
the committee a system of decen-
tralization by which each Of the ?5
districts would be in absolute con-
troll of it's own project Independent
of all outside or centralized infil-
ences. When the ordinance drawn
along these lines was being discuss
ed by the Police Jury various mem
bers thereof asked Judge Burns, who
represented the committee, whe.he"
action taken at the time could sub
sequently be rescinded. Both Jul ke
Burns for the committee and Attor-
ney Schwartz of counsel Of the Jury
assured them that it could-that il
the ordinance as passed was obiec-
tionable to the humblest citizen the
Police Jury's action in the matter
could be amended or revoked at any
subsequent meeting, and that it Was

every interest, both large and small.
satisfied. At the time it was be-
lieved the lumber interests were
favorable. However, opposition to
the ordinance seems to come from

the following letter addressed to Mr..
John Poitevent, have been assuerd
of the committees determination to
respect the assurance given the pub
lie when the ordinance was passed:
Covington, La, July 20, 1929.
Mr.. John Poitevent, President Poite-
vent & Favre Lumber Co., New
Orleans, La.
Dear Mr.. PoiteVent:-Mr.A Arnett,
upon his return from the conference
with you yesterday, brought the III
formation that you were acting as
spokesman for the timber interests
who, in his opinion, are absolutely
sincere in their position that t1oE
property rights were not sufficiently
consulted prior to our request to
the Police Jury to designate the 20
drainage districts in which the par
ish is divided therefore, as mater
of honor, he recommends that at
the next regular meeting, providing
you still so desire, the committee
will join you in your request to the
Jury to rescind the action taken Dy
the July meeting. This voluntary
action on our part makes good our
promise to Mr.. Ellis at the time
This, we trust, places the matter on
basis where the Poitevent and Sal
men interests can join us in con-
structive educational campaign, and
where the Great Southern, though
with a different plan in mind, may
at least feel that their interests have
had proper consideration.
Because the Police Jury acted up
on our advice in a matter which will
now be of no value to the parish,
Mr.. Arnett, of the committee, mas
voluntarily agreed to personally as
sumo the expense of the ordinance.
AS with my letter OF the 26th, l
am furnishing a carbon thereof to
Mr.. Sullivan at Bogalusa and to Mr..
Salmen Of the New Orleans address.
Yours very truly,
However, as indicated in the let
ter, the committee wants 1t dis
tinctly understood that they will
proceed with the campaign exactly
as planned and still are of the opin-
ion that the said ordinance is the
most feasible plan SO far suggested.
When a proposition is put in ques-
ton, if it's is without merit, 1t ends
there. If, on the other hand, it has
merit, it weathers the storm and
reaches the place In public opinion
that it deserves to hold.
And this commottee is fighting
for a cause they believe in, and they
are fighting not for money but for
principle. Neither Judge Burns
who has been acting for the COM
mittee, nor any member thereof, TOR
The St. Tammany Farmer, which has
given unstintinglyp of it's space, have
received a dollar of remuneration or
vestige of advantage, nor do they
expect to ever participate in any
advantages other than the prosperity
which must accrue in common to all
