Agree to Dip Cattle in Friendship
Community.


Pollock, La, Aug. 26. "A mass
meeting was held in the Friend
ship neighborhood on Big Creek
last night and the citizens agreed
to build a private dipping vat
and dip all cattle, horses and
mules.
The sentiment in favor of Dip
ping is growing rapidly and the
opposition is on the decline. Ex-
perience proves that the cattle
tick ought to be exterminated,
and the stock men of Grant par
ish are gradually building senti-
mentin favor of dipping.
The movement made by the
citizens of the Friendship COM
munity is in the right direction,
and its effect will be good. If
the builders of this vat can have
the cooperation of the Live Stock
Sanitary Board. they win appre-
ciate it. If the board is unable
to reward these gentlemen for
their progressive move they pro-
pose to dip just the same.

No Fence Law is New State Issue for
Legislature.

Legislature.
Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 81. =
One of the biggest issues recent
ly developed in Louisiana and
one that promises to become en-
broiled in State politics is the
passage of a law by the Legisla-
ture compelling the fencing of
live stock.
1t is commonly called a mo
fence" law because it means that
tracts of land, with the excep-
ton of those for pasturing live
stock, will have no fences, while
fences or enclosures for live stock
would be compulsory.
The issue may not be fought
out at the coming session of the
legislature. Some of the MEN,
bers of that body who want a
short session are attempting to
sidestep the issue and force it
over to the regular session, but
they may not succeed. Bills may
be introduced that will precipi-
tate the fight at the special ses-
sion. If that is done it means a
sharp and bitter struggle be-
tween the contending forces.
Wide differences OF opinion
have developed. Citizens are lin
ing up on the question in many
parishes. Supporters of a mo
fence" law contend that it is the
shortest and quickest way to get
rid of the cattle tick. They also
claim that the abolition of fences
for everything except for enclos-
ing live stock would be the cheap
est and best policy for the State
to adopt. The fence bill of the
State. it is asserted. would be re-
duced millions of dollars.
Opponents of a no fence" law
contend that it would impose a |
hardship and a burden on the
live stock raisers and deprived
them of the use of the open
range. They claim it would
drive small farmers with small
tracts of land out of the live stock
raising business and work to the
advantage of those who raise
live stock on a large scale.
Governor Parker Is among the
strong advocates of a mo fence"
law. He believes it is absolute
ly essential to the welfare of the
State. But he does not think it |
wise to precipitate the fight at
the special session of the legisla-
ture. He believes the issue
should go over until the regular
session. and if a law is passed it
should become operative January
|, 1923. to give the people who
are interested sufficient time to
adjust themselves to the new
The governor clearly outlined
his views in a speech recently |
delivered at a meeting of farm
ers at Alexandria.

New S., 900, 900 Gas Company Organ
lied to Serve Southern Cities.
New Orleans. Aug. %. "A
special from Washington say.
that a Sc, 900, 900 gas compan,
was Incorporated in the state Of
Delaware Saturday to furnish
gas to cities tributary to The
Monroe, La, gas fields.
While the program of the new
corporation with reference te
pipe lines has not matured fully,
| it is altogether likely that the
lines will be extended to serve
New Orleans, Houston, st. Louis,
Little Rock. Beaumont and many
smaller places.
The company was Incorporated
under the name of the Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas Develop
ment Company. John Walsh of
Washington, a brother of Sena-
tor Wash of Montana. and FORM
Ier general counsel of the FEEDER
al Trade Commission, is one of
the company's incorpora tors.
The other incorporators are ]. S.
Cullinan of Houston and E. A.
Frost of the Frost-Johnson Lum-
Der Company of Shreveport.
The Monroe field is thought to
contain more natural gas than
any orher single area yet discov-
ed. The United States Bureau
of Mines estimated the amount
of recoverable natural gas in that
field exceeds 1900 billion cubic
feet.
Incorporation of the Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas Develop
ment Company at Wilmington,
Del, is interpreted to mean that
the Cullinan and Frost-Johnson
interests are about ready to put
through their plan for the con-
struction of what is designed to-
be the biggest natural gas pipe
line system in the world.

it on for at least two minutes be,
fore anyone is permitted to en-
ter a partly filled siio. Unless
this rule is followed, the result
is likely to be dead men. says the
United States Department OF
Agriculture.
Annually fatalities occur among
farmers and their helpers as q
result of the workmen entering
half-filIed silos after deadly car
bon monoxide gases have had a
chance to accumulate above the
freshly ensiled corn. A few
days ago two Illinois farmers
were killed and another was rem
dered seriously sick by silo gases,
which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases
used during the recent war. In
this instance one of the farm
workmen entered a 50-foot silo
which had been half filled the
previous day. Some time clap
sed and when he did not come
out another of the hands ascend
ed into the silo. Neither reap
peared, though the workers
shouted to them repeatedly to
come down.
Fearing an accident, the farm
owner finally climed into the silo.
He was also Immediately over
come by the poisonous fumes and
only the fact that others follow
ed him. forced open the extra
silo doors and carried him into
the open air and save him. The
two other men were suffocated
Immediately.
Each year number of acct
dents of this kind occur. due
largely to careIessness and igno-
rance of the proper methods of
eradicating the dangerous gases.
The preventive measures are am
pie and efficient, and where they
are followed there is no danger.
No workman should ever enter
a partly filled silo after the en-
siled corn has had an opportunity
to develop poisonous carbon mo-
noxide gases overnight until the
blower has been started.
The fresh air dilutes and scattersI
the obnoxious gases to the ex-
tent that they are rendered
harmless. After the blower has
been operated for two minutes it |
is perfectly safe for the work.
men to enter. Another precau-
ton which should be practiced
religiously is not to wedge the
silo doors into place until they
are needed to prevent the waste
IF the ensiled corn. Many farm
srs follow the practice of placing
most of the doors before any
great amount of corn is cut and
deposited in the silo. This pre-
vents free circulation of air
through the silo. which in turn
operates to favor the accumula-
ion of carbon monoxide and
,ther deadly silo gases.

who are disturbed over the 5.Ts5. 900
unemployed OF today overlook that
in 1914 there we're 100000 out of
work. larger percentage Of whom
were men and actual bread winners
than in the present unemployed.
Secretary OF Labor Davis said in a
statement
Declaring that tho country has
just passed through a period when
every EFFORT was made to induce
women and others who had not
worked for wages or salaries before
TO work and save starving Europe"
Mr.. Davis said present unempioy-
ment figures include great numbers
of persons upon whose earnings no
one actually is dependent
while we have our unemployed,
let us not forget the $4,000, 900 who
are still at work" the statement
said. "A further encouraging fact is
that $500, 100000 Is now available
about the country in the form OF
bonds already issued or appropriated
by the state. county and municipal
boNcfniututc ioI PUBIC Works Un-
doubtedly this will be organized in

Positive signs of business recov-
cry have been furnished by the COM
missioner of labor statistics, Secre-
tary Davis declared.
"A stir was caused all over the
country" the statement said. when
Senator Mccormick called for the
actual figures on current unemploy-
ment. and these figures as supplied
by the bureau OF labor statistics in
the Department Of Labor, were
found to be 5.7s5.ooo. Those fig
ures should be read in relation TO
the situation OF seven years ago as
well as in the light OF the facts OF
today.
Take this fact, for instance, IN
