Our State Census.

The late cattle census as issued by
the United States crop estimate re-
port, shows some interesting and val
liable data for the Louisiana stock
raiser.
1t is well to ponder over and digest
these facts in figures because it spells
possibilities yet to be had IN a country
THAI is by its natural resources coming
to the trout as livestock state.
In the year 1918 we had s3O, 900 cat
tie at valuation of $50, ,s55, 900, that
was the year tbe state wide tick eradi-
cation law became in force. The Grad
ication of the tick naturally enhanced
the weight, consequently the value of
the cattle induced better sire, better
stock, campaign. In two years of sys-
tematic dipping building up of our ma
tive cattle, the importation of approx
mately 5000 head of purebred and
high grade males and approximately
900 purebred dairy cows and heifers
within the past 10 months has contrib
uted materially to the 1920 census of
!, iO5. wv head at valuation of $46,-
56S, 600. This increases the states as:
sets in cattle Sis, 7l3, 900. IN the period
OF two years, since tick eradication
began. Adding to this let us take in
consideration that losses by death from
tick fever is reduced to a minimum
and Where ticks have been totally erad-
lcated it is all coming in and nothing
going out:
Does tick eradication pay? We say
1t does. don't you?

city council refused to ratify wage
increase agreement was resumed here.
Car riders who prior to the strike of
car men paid 6 cents and 2 cents for
a transfer, began to pay cents in adj
dition to the transfer charge. How
long the new rate will rule will be
determined by the United States dis
trfct court, through whose order serv-
ice was restored. The court order
provides that the company pay the
wage Increase retroactive to April !
and that the car riders contribute to
the cost of meeting the advance This
was the point on which the council
baked and which resulted in the
strike.
