Cattle Tick EradicatIon.

New Orleans Times- I'icdyMae, 1Sth.l
We published last week letter from
DIR. Dalrymple. of the State University,
filing anticipatory protest against any
effort to repeal or to weaken the tick
eradication law ut this session of the
Legislature. Since that letter was
written a bill has been offered in the
Senate proposing extension of the
eattle-dipping interval from fourteen
days. as now required. to twenty-eiglt
Experts in both state and federal serv-
Ice have come forward promptly to
oppose that specific provision. Warn
ing is sounded that the weakening Of
the cattle-dipping law may bring about
the abandonment of the cooperative
work now conducted In Louisiana by
the Federal Department Of Agriculture

campaign.

1t haK been reported that those
farmers In Louisiana not permitted to
plant cotton because Of the invasion
OF the pink boil worm have turned
their attention to dairying and the cul-
tivation Of big sweet potato and peanut
crops. Also, 1t is taken for granted
that the acreage planted to corn will
be large. and who knows hut that

named. may swell their hank accounts

Rescue Of Girl Slaves.

Rescuing Armenian girls from Turk
ish harems is not so easy an adven-
ture as may be supposed principally
owing to the lies told them by the
sheikhs, who declare that "the Chris
tan dogs" make them work from sun
rise to sunset and give them next to
no food, and later send them to the
dark regions of central Africa. Con-
sequently, when two missionaries
with an automobile, reached the house
Of a sheikh with the object of del'v-
ering three Armenian young women
from his power. the girls, despite the
evidence that they were given of the
bona fides of their deliverers, at first
refused to leave their slave master
Even when on their way to Aleppo in
comfortable cars they were far from
quieted. The Sight of an Armenian
priest at length gave them the needed
assurance, however, and then the girls
wanted to be slaves to their new mas
ters for all time.
