IBERIA CATTLE
TOP THE MARKET

According to information just re-
ceifed by Dean w. S. Dodson of the
college of agriculture. Louisiana State
University, two carloads Of steers from
the Iberia experiment station at Jean
erette were sold last week on the Fort
Worth market at 1875, the highest
price of the year. The steers average
962 pounds and all were dehorned.
They were finished off at the iberia
station for the purpose of determining
the food falue of different rations and
also to afford a comparison in gains
between native Louisiana cattle and
those of better breeding from other
states.
The results of the experiment were
favorable to the Louisiana cattle, ac-
cording TO ]. S. Quesenberry, assistant
director in charge of the Iberia station.
At the completion of the test they out
weighed he Texas steers and they made
faster gains when on grass than on
feed.
Shortly after May |, last year, the
cattle were placed on grass, and on
December they were put on feed.
The feed ration consisted of corn and
soy bean silage. cottonseed meal and
blackstrap molasses. The cattle con-
sumed about 45 pounds Of silage each
day, five pounds Of cottonseed meal
and five pounds of blackstrap molas-
ses. At the completion of the test the
native Louisiana cattle outweighed the
Texas cattle 200 pounds per steer.
1t is the opinion Of MIR. Quesenberry
that Louisiana offers a splendid field
for the profitable raising of cattle for
market purposes. Good grass may be
grown in Louisiana, he says, when
properly cultivated, and forage crops
are very successfully grown.

FIRE HAVOC REPORT;
MOST OF IT PREVENTABLE

Forty-three persons were killed, and
thirty-eight wounded, and damage done
amounting to $6,347,45l-all in Lou
isiana, in 1921, by fire.
Had this occurred at one time, in
one place, it would have been treated
as terrible and shocking disaster If
it had been asserted afterwagd that
the tragedy was preventable, search
ing investigation would have been or
dered by the State Fire Marshall.> Pos
sibly those responsible would have been
indicted for their acts or neglects,
However, the loss and the death were
scattered over the whole State and
through twelve months. So most of it
all escaped more than passing notice
in the papers, and dropped from the
news in day or two.
Yet many of the deaths, many of the
wounds, most of the loss, IS attributa-
Bile to carelessness, carelessness of the
simple precautions which common
sense should distate, of the plain rules

EVILS OF MONOPOLY
SUBJECT Ok TALK

Speaking before the Farm Labor
Union at Cooper School House last
Monday night, W. c. Benton. of Sta
bles, made a lengthy analysis of the
monopolistic conditions prevailing thru
out the country and declared that the
common people of the United States
are at last beginning to think in com
mon sense manner.
Touching the trust question, MIR.
Benton maintained that there are only
three methods whereby the people can
collectively deal with the trust-first,
by destroying it; second, by control
ling or regulating it; and, third, by
owning it.
The first method was ridicuIed on the
ground that it. involved the dividing
up" of the great organized and system
atized t.ust-owned industries, and that
it meant a return to the days Of pro-
duction on small scale.
The second method. the speaker de-
clared, is now being tried and is a dis
NAL failure, and that only through the
third method would the people eyer be
able to gain relief.

SOVIET RUSSIA WON
WITH HANDS DOWN

W AAAS SSASIaACu tGSSA
Genoa. - By common consent Rus
STA is now regarded as enc Of the great
powers at the Genoa economic confer
ence, result few persons anticipated
before the conference opened April 10.
The Russians had little to lose and
everything to gain from this first meet
ing of belligerent and neutral nations
since the close of the world war. So
much SANDER had ALREADY been cast
upon the soviet government, SO many
sacrifices had already been made BY
the RuSsitn people. SO cruel blockade
had already been launched against her
and so completely had she and her sis
ter soviet states been isolated from the
community of nations that nothing
could have happened at Genoa to make
her lot worse.
Moreover, the Russians were not
bound by the traditions Of diplomacy
and clearly stated before coming that
they would be there as merchants SELL
ing goods, not as diplomats.
Things looked dark for the Russians
upon their arrival. There were threats
Of attacks by the Fascist of Italy.
there was the unfortunate choice of
quarters designated for them by the
Italian government in Santa Margher-
ita. 20 miles from Genoa. Then there
was the surveillance exercised over
them by Italian police and the secret
service.
A series of circumstances further
helped them during the initial stages.
Louis Barthou of France, who used The
opening session for an uncalled-for at
tack upon the Russians, caused France
to stand isolated as the one great i'm.
perlalistic force Of the European cont.
nent.

play cautious role, became no nettleo

OUR LLANO DANCE
By J. H. Beavers

1t comes each Saturday night;
Would you know Of our Llano danceP
AND, the comrades gather in from far,
and near.
There are greetings all around
And friendly clasping Of the hand,
With feelings and expressions Of good
cheer.
Then comes the practice drill
New comrades should stand in front
We are ready to begin ATTENTION
ALL!
It's four-two-one and two-one-four,
As the comrades shuttle about the
floor,
Then with your partners circle round
the hall.
CHORUS
Is everybody happy. happy, happy7
Yes, everybody's glad--my goodness!
Ho, every one is laughing ha,
ha, ha!
All the boys and girls are clap, clap,
clapping
Does everybody dance7 (sure thingI J
Everybody sings)
The old as well as the young.
It's happy, happy, happy,
Are the comrades of NewlIano!
The music peal on peal,
Invites to the first grand waltz;
Soon the comrades all are whirling in
the dance;
Then the two-step in its turn,
And then the Virginia Reel
Be careful. boys, don't split your Sum
day pants (FIa, haE)
No shady conduct here;
Our dance is pure and clean
No bunny-hugging. shimmy-shimmying
goes.
It's two-one-fou~. and four-two-one-
Straighten up, there. you son-of-a-gun,
You dance much like "Granda Paw
iano.
The sweetest girl in town
Swings in circles round and around
With Daddy Gleeser coming thru the
rye.
Then they cut dash. you bet.
When they dance the Minuet-
They promenade SO gracefully; oh my!
Then comes ladies choice,
And it's gravy for the boys;
For it relegates the gray-heads to the
rear.
We turn aside and take seat;
Reluctantly admit defeat
We will come again next time, do you
hear?
