LOUISIANA OYSTERS
READY FOR SEASON

Louisiana began her oyster season
September lst, when the bivalves were
put upon the market at New Orleans.
The population of Louisiana generally
will be pleased to learn there is assur-
ance of splendid season at hand. Not
only will the crop be large. but the
quality of this sea food will be excel
lent.
As result Of the wise administra-
ton of the department of conservation
of Louisiana, under the direction of
M. L. Alexander, the output Of oysters
has been increased nearly 900 per
cent in few years. When the de-
partment was instituted there was be-
ing marketed from Louisiana waters
265, 900 barrels of oysters annually.
Now, there is an average yield Of
| 100000 barrels a year. And this
tells only part and the least impor-
tant part of the story.
The marketing of the huge crop of
100000 barrels a year does not
mean that the source of supply is be-
ing depleted. On the contrary, under
intelligent supervision and jealous
guarding, the supply will increase as
the years go by until the entire avail
6ble acreage susceptible of profitable
production is under cultivation. The
department is now in process of issu-
ing 500 new leases. and hitherto the
average area of a lease has been l6L2
acres.
Oysters grow in abundance only af-
ter careful cultivation, which requires
both time and labor. There are two
methods Of cultivation ~ transplant
ing and the planting of shells or other
anchorage for clutch. The first means
cultivation, whilethe second means
both cultivation AMI conservation in
the fullest sense.

mo FENCE LAW" NEW STATE
ISSUE FOR LEGISLATURE

Baton Rouge, La. - One of the big
gest issues recently developed in Lou
isiana and one that promises to be-
come embroiled in State politics is the
passage Of a law by the Legislature
compelling the fencing Of live stock.
1t is commonly called mo fence
law" because it means that tracts of
land, with the exception of those for
pasturing live stock, will have no fenc-
es, while enclosures for live stock will
be compulsory.
The issue may not be fought out at
the coming session of the Legislature.
Some of the members of that body
who want short session are attempt
ing to sidestep the issue and force it ov-
er to the regular session, but they may
not succeed. Bills may be introduced
that will precipitate the fight at the
special session. If that is done, ii
means a sharp and bitter struggle be-
tween the contending forces.
Wide differences of opinion have
developed. Citizens are lining up or
the question in many parishes. Sup
porters of mo fence" law copteno
that it is the shortest and quickest way
to get rid Of the cattle tick. They al
so claim that the abolition of fence;
for everything except for the enclosure
of live stock would be the cheapest
and the best, policy for the State tc
adopt. The fence bill of the State
| it is asserted. would be reduced mil
lions Of dollars.
Opponents of no fence law con
tend that it would impose a hardship
and burden on the live stock grow.
ers and deprive them of the use of the
open range. They claim it would drive
small farmers with small tracts Of lane
out of the live stock raising bushes:
to the advantage Of those who raise
live stock on a large scale.
Governor Parker is among the strong
advocates Of no fence" law. He
| believes it is absolutely essential TO the
welfare of the state. But he does not
think it wise to precipitate fight al
the special session Of the Legislature
HE believes the issue should go ovel
until the regular ession, and if a Law
is passed, it should become operative
January /, 1928, to give the people
who are interested sufficient time tc
adjust themselves to the new condi
tions.
The governor clearly outlined hi
views in a speech recently delivered a
meeting of farmers in Alexandria.

Scattered Liquidation and
Lack of Demand Respon-
sible for Break to Low
est in Years; Corn Drops

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-For the first
time since 1915 the wheat market to
day dropped to below 81 bushel. All
grain, with the sole exception of May
corn, declined to the lowest level yet
this season, following wheat, for
which there appeared to be no ade-
quate support. Wheat closed heavy,
2% to 3N cents net lower, with De-
cember 80 to 99A cents and May
Sl.O4 to S1.04A, Corn lost 1@1 4s to 1 7s
and oats 1h@% to. u cent. In pro
visions the outcome varied from 21A
cents down to like advance.
Word that large quantity OF wheat
was practically unstable at Galveston and
at other ports we'll took the edge off
tho demand here for wheat. and acce entu-
ated general belief that foreign demand
for United States wheat had to a
stendstin. The fact that prices could
break SO far and so rapidly they have
done of late without encountering any
export buying of consequence put bulls at
great disadvantage.
The only strength which the market
showed to-day was at the opening, and
was ascribed to reports of diminished un-
reduction OF Federal rediscount rates.
Announcement that tho War Finance
Corporation has worked out plan to
warehouse the present surplus of corn
failed to check the weakness Of corn and
oats.
December corn in particular was under
heavy selling pressure.
