GROUND HOG DAY.
Six Weeks More of Winter Weather
Forecast According To Old Belief.

81 &. fftfti a. ~--~>-l VI isspe
According to an old belief among
weather prophets for many genera
tions. February Second foretells the
coming of an early Spring or six
weeks more of winter, according to
whether or not the Sun shines on
that day.
The second of February, which this
time fell on Wednesday, is called
E"Ground Hog Day." and the belief is
that the ground hog, which sleeps in
his burrow all winter, comes out Of
his hole on this day. If the day Is
cloudy and he does not see his shad-
ow on the ground, all is well, and
Mr.. Ground Hog stays above ground
as an early Spring is coming. II
however, the sun shines on that day
and he sees his shadow, he becomes
frightened and crawls back in his
hole. and then we have six weeks
more Of cold weather.
AS Wednesday was bright, sunny
day the little fellow surely saw his
shadow and skampered back for an
other snooze until March 10th, when
if the "dope" is correct, real Spring
will commence.
This will be rather bad news to oui
Northern friends, but down here In
balmy Louisiana, 1--WE should worry

CATTLE QUARANTINE.

The Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, with headquarters in
Baton Rouge, are making deter
mined stand for cattle tick eradica-
ton.
On February LIST the new Cattle
Quarantine Law went into effect,
prohibiting the shipment or trans
portation of cattle from any tick in
Tested area.
The work of cattle dipping has
been so systematized that the work
is now being done at one fifth of the
original cost. "a
In 1916 and 1917 it cost $4,000
for each years work in Iberia Parish
In 1918 this figure was cut in half,
and in 1919 only $4,000 was required
The past year of 1920, with the same
amount of work, more efficiently
done, the total cost was kept down to
$4,000.
The Quarantine Proclamation is as
follows:
To All Railroads, Transportation
Companies, and other Common
Carriers: -
Sir
Under and by authority of Act 1919
Of the General Assembly of Louisiana
of 1920, it is hereby ordered that on
and after February 1, 1921, the driv-
ing, movement or shipment of tick in
tested cattle, or cattle from any State,
county or premises that is, under
quarantine, or any cattle that have
been exposed to tick infestation from
any State, county or premises, be and
are hereby prohibited from moving
into or through the State of Louisi-
ana, by railroad, steamboat, or other
common carrier, unless such cattle be
accompanied by a Government certi-
ficate or official permit.
Such permit or certificate shall
show that such cattle have been prop
erly dipped in arsenical solution under
official supervision, are free of ticks
and are loaded in clean and disinfect-
ed cars. Duplicate certificate or per-
nit of dipping and inspection to be
forwarded Immediately to LouisiSna
