opeIousas MIX Producers Organize

The dairy farmers producing milk
for OpeIousas, after several prelimin-
airy meetings and working up consid-
cradle interest, met and formed per-
manent organization of the dairy far
mers Of that section April %.
The objects of the organization, as
discussed at the meeting, will be to
produce a high quality Of milk,
keep records of the production of the
dairy cows, improve the methods Of
feeding and breeding, get better herd
sires, buy feed and other supplies
co-operatiyeely and improve the gem
eral conditions of the dairy industry
of the community.
The farm lands of St. Landry par
ish and especially those surrounding
Cpelousas, afford as great an opportu-
nifty for dairy farming as can be
found anywhere in the country. The
soils are fertile, the greatest variety
of feed crops can be grown N abund-
ance, the service afforded by the
railroads offers 40 opportunity to ship
dairy products to a half dozen of the
best cities in the state, the beautiful
liveoaks and other shade trees found
on every farm with the other beautiful
and attractive and natural scenery
makes it one of the garden spots of
the country. St. Landry parish has
the opportunity to become as great
producing section for dairy pro-
ducts and dairy cattle as Waukesha
county in Wisconsin.
The officers elected, were Remey
Wallior, president, and A. A. Men
doza, secretary. Mr.. Mendoza is the
county agent and it is largely the re-
suit of his efforts that the dairy far
mers have started this progressive

spoken of as progressive, wide-awake
and up-to-date is too sad fact to
discuss. Some say that the town lacks
inspiration; others say that all that
is needed now for Opelousas to be
absolutely forgotten is funeral,
while others say that the con-
dition indicates anemia and that the
reemdy is a TRANSMISSION of new blood.
Probably the best diagnosis is Emacia-
