JERSEY BREEDERS
MEET AT MONROE

Picnic, calf show, a dairy COW
demonstration and talk stressing the
value of milk as a food were the fea-
lures Of the program carried out by
the Jersey breeders at their meeting
held in Monroe, La, on Wednesday
of this week. A crowd estimated be
tween five hundred and eight hun
dred Jersey cattle breeders and their
friends formed one of the largest and
most enthusiastic gatherings that has
assembled for the purpose Of promot-
ing the Jersey cow and her interest
in the state
AT the heifer calf show the breeders
near Monroe exhibited a number Of
their best calves comprising the senior
and Junior calf classes. Each was OF
the best show type and was great
credit to the breed In the senior
calf class the first prize went to w. E.
Allen and the second to w. H. Moore.
In the Junior class E. s. Eby won both
the blue ribbons with two Of the vest
heifer calves that have been shown
in louisiana, according to the special
lists from the Dairy Extension Depart
ment. who rendered assistance in Civ
ing the various demonstrations and
Judging the calves.
This calf show, say the specialists
furnished most conclusive proof that
the breeders are using nothing but the
hest Jersey bulls and that great pro
gress has been made in the last fe"
wears with the Register Of merit worn
which is being carried on in five o.
the herds at this time. Tine Monroe
breeders have the opportunity to equa
in accomplishment that of any other

Has Taught School for Fifty Years
Mr.. Stephenson of Garland was in
Opelousas Saturday on business.
Speaking to a newspaper man he said
that he believed he had taught school
longer than any man living in Louis
lana, for he had been on the Job for
fifty years.
Born in Kentucky, he moved to Kan
sas about forty years ago where he
farmed and taught school for fifteen
years. He found the Sunflower State
too dry and concluded to move to Lou
isiana where the rainfall was heavier.
Five years of his farming experience
in Kansas resulted in producing no.
thing because of drouth, eighty acres
of wheat yielding eighty bushels of
inferior grain. He disposed of his
two hundred and forty acres and came
to Louisiana, settling on Bayou Boeuf
where he has resided ever since.
The venerable teacher mterming.es
farming with school work and is very
much interested in fruit growing. lie
says, contrary to all accepted beliefs.
that this is a good fruit country if
ono but uses safe, sane and scientific
judgement in selecting varieties and
caring for his trees. The only fruit
which will not do here, he states, IS
the cherry.
That he likes Louisiana better than
Kansas is attested by the fact that
after a quarter-century OF residence
here he intends to spend the balance
of his days in ST. Landry. The soil,
he claims, is more fertile than that OF
Kansas and the growing of vegetables
successfully easy of accomplishment.
He has taught school in several local
tiles Of this parish and the session
Just closed taught near his home.
