Enactment Of Law BY

baton Rouge.-Representa live
SQSk men from all parts of the state
met hAFe to discuss plans by which
cattle tick eradication can be syste-
maticaily carried out and a no-fence
Law was favored as a necessity to sue
cess.
John Cochran OF Natchitoches par
tsh presided. DIR. W. r. Dodson, chair
man Of the Louisiana Tick Eradica-
ton League, spoke of the good work
that had been done by that league, in
the way OF educating the people of the
benefits derived from tick-free terri
tory. James X. Gardner of Calcasieu
outlined the difficulties encountered
In dealing with the herds Of cattle in
storm-swept areas, especially such as
those in some parts of Calcasieu since
the storm of 1918. A thick growth of
underbrush has sprung up in the
fallen timber, which makes it impos-
sfble to get wild cattle out Of such
areas.
It was the consensus Of opinion az
ter hearing. the difficulties that had
been encountered in cattle dipping
discussed, that the only feasible plan
would be plan by which the owner
could sontroi his herds and dip all cat
4le. II was then decided that the live
stock men throughout the state urge
the legislature to enact a no-fence
law, which would prevent the free

Into territories. having natural boun-
diaries. and free all the area within
that particular territory. after which
Il would be released from quarantine,
then take a similar block Of territory
with natural boundaries, and 50 on
anti ;he entire state was tick free.
In the meantime, tick eradication
work need not be halted in any other
part Of the state, and the people
which are in a minority in opposing
cattle dipping would gradually be ed
ucated to the fact that Il is possible
20 eradicate tbs tick. The class who
oppose It on general principles could
easily see the educational advantages
It vsoad have in the growth of pure
lDsat cattle.
Governor Parker pledged his sup
port Of any feasible plan the live stock
men might adopt. 1t was pointed out
ny several OF the prominent men that
It would be impractical for the young
men Of the state to attend the Greater
Agricultural College and take courses
on types and values Of pure bred
stock when this state is so far behind
the times that it could not produce
pure bred cattle.

The robbers, said TO have been FIVE
In number, all armed with rifles, piled
cross ties on the track and when the
engineer slowed down they boarded
the train, one of the men keeping tha
engineer and fireman covered, whila
the other four boarded the mail and
express cars.
After the express safe, a large num-
her of express packages and several
pouches of mail had been thrown of
the cars, the robbers loaded their loot
into an automobile which drove up
and made their escape.
No estimate of the amount Of ex-
press matter and mail secured has
been obtained but the loss is believed
to be heavy, as a large amount of mail
and express for st. Louis is usually
carried on this train.
Members of the train crew tele-
graphed the news of the hOldup from
Cherry Valley, Ark, to the Memphis
office of the Missouri Pacific.
The bandits, when last seen, were
driving toward Memphis, and police
reserves and special railroad officers
have been sent to various points on
the Arkansas side Of the Mississippi in
hope of intercepting the robbers be-
fore they cross the river.
