Poultry in Rice and Cane Secti

Poultry in Rice and Cane Sections.
In previous years the rice and cane
growers of Louisiana have devoted
very little time to diversified farming
and especially the production of poul-
try and eggs. H. L. Williams, leader
in poultry husbandry, has been de-
voting quite lot of time this spring
to extension poultry work in the cane
and rice belt. Mr.. Williams is very
enthusiastic over the outlook of the
poultry industry in this section Of
the State. The farmers of Calca-
sieu, jefferson Davis, Evangeline,
Vermilion and number of other
southwest Louisiana parishes are de-
voting lot of their time and Incl
IDENTIFY some money to the poultry
industry this year. The model poul-
try house with good flock of pure
bred poultry is no uncommon sight
in these parishes. County Agents
Stafford, Cade, Casanova, Dutsch,
and Cooper and Home Demonstra-
ton Agents Stafford, Dore and Knox
are rendering every service possible
toward promoting the poultry indus
try in these sections, he says.

Brahman Cattle for the Gulf Coast

A Brahman bull has been purchased
for the Iberia Live Stock Expert
ment Farm which is conducted by
the United States Department CT
Agriculture at Jeanerette, La. There
is general belief among some cattle.
men in certain sections of the south.
ern coastal region of the United
States that the progeny of grade
Brahman bulls of desirable type have
certain outstanding merits that make
the use of these bulls on native and
grade cows preferable to the use ct
better known beef breeds.
Several points favoring Brahmans
are claimed by the producers. Among
the more important ones it is claimed
that Brahman cattle withstand the
insect pests and diseases prevalent
in the low and damp areas and that
they withstand the heat during the
summer season better than the recog.
nized beef breeds. 1t is also claim
ed that fewer bulls per hundred cows
are necessary where Brahman Lulls
are used, and the basis for this state.
mnnt is attributed to the vigor and
vitality of Brahman bulls.
The work at present is to compare
the merits of a purebred bull of q
beef breed and a Brahman bull as
sires for (; herd of grade beef cows
in this section. Results so far hays
not been conclusive.

Income Tax by 1924.

The income tax proposition which
has engaged much of the time and
attention of the Constitutional Con-
vention, was up for consideration
again Tuesday, when by the close vote
of 81 to 81, the following amend
ments offered by Judge Reid of Amite
City, was adopted
''Provided after May l, 1924, equal
and uniform taxes, not to exceed three
Fper cent, and for state purposes only,
may be levied upon net incomes.
Such taxes when levied and paid shall
be credited, protanto or entirely, OFF
set by all taxes, state and local, paid
ty the taxpayers for the year in which
such income tax is due or paid. Such
rincome tax shall be in lieu of occu-
pational licenses and may be in lieu Of
other taxes. Public officials shall not
be excepted. Reasonable exemptions
may be granted.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Sui
livan, declaring that the Reid amend
ment did not apply to political sub
division, was adopted without dis
senting vote. Thus the proponents of
the state income tax after prolong-
ed and stubborn fight, have finally
succeeded in writing the proposition
in the organic law. The ordinance
as adopted, differs very much from
the original article. 1t leaves the
question of levying the tax TO the
discretion of the legislature. after
May /, 1924, instead of making it
mandatory upon that body to do So
and provides that The said tax might
i1a imposed in lieu Of occupational
Tic 'nscs and that reasonable cven,p-
tlu:1$ may be granted.
Ia the form in which it was finally
passed the income tax proposition Is
ncS Lear as Objectionable as il was ir
its original form, and IS generally ac.
cented as fair compromise. by many
OF its opponents Who feel that divosted
of its mandatory provisions the ar.
ticle might remain for many years, il
not forever, inoperativee andineifec

rheumatism of the muscles or chronic

may be relieved by applying Chamber

CHRISTMAS SEALS.
Money to Be used to Fight TubercuIo.
sis In State and Nation.

This Is the cut Of the Christmas
Seal to be used this fall TO raise
money to fight tuberculosis. The plan
Of raising money for anti tuberculosis
work by means Of selling a one cent
Christmas Seal was first tried four.
teen years ago by the American Red
Cross. At that time about 100000
seals were sold which meant eontri.
button Of three thousand dollars. From
this small beginning the sale of seals
have increased each year until in
1920 over 1854 million seals were sold
which meant over $4,000 for tn.
berculosis work.
Two years ago the American Red
Cross relinquishea the sale OF the
Christmas Seals To the National Tu-
berculosis Association aud its affili.
ated associat ons in every state in the
union. a sa result the seals are not
designated as formerly Red Cross
Seals but merely Christmas Seals, the
proceeds however are used for the
same purpose as formerly.
In Vermont the seal sale is in
charge of the Vermont. Tuberculosis
Association and all but five percent
of the net receipts. which is sent to
the National tuberculosis Association
is used in Vermont.
The sale has been conducted largely
by school children under the super
vision of teachers, womens clubs and
other interested persons. Last year
little over eight thousand dollars
was raised In Vermont by the sale OF
the Christmas Seals. THIS year the
association viii endeayor to raise ten
thousand dollars. The proceeds wiz
be used for the children at the Pre-
yentorium. the expenses of the Mod
ern Health Crusade, the district tn.
berculosis nurses and clinics and the
health educational work. all under the
supervis on OF the Vermont Tubercu
/ losis Association.
