WILL STAGE CAMPAIGN TO IN
CREASE USE OF MILK IN LA.

A demonstration milk campaign will
be held in New Orleans, April 1922,
under the auspices of the United States
Department of Agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the Dairy Department of the
State University Extension Division.
This campaign will be in charge of
Miss Jessie M. Hoover. milk utilization
specialist, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture; c. H. Staples, and Miss Mary
Thomas, of the State University Dairy
Division. and home demonstration
agents, who will carry this message to
their respective parishes. Louisiana
will be one of five southern states to
have a campaign of this nature.
The object of this campaign is. to
improve the health of growing children
as well as adults through the greater
consumption of milk, as milk contains
all of the essentials to building and re-
pairing tissues, both muscular and bony
and supplies eneargy and promotes
growth and health.

FORDSON TRACTORS TAKE
BIG TUMBLE IN PRICE

A Fordson tractor is now cheaper
than team of good mules.
The local agents, H. E. Werner Car
age, in their announcement in our adj
vertising columns this week, quote the
new price at 1895 at Detroit. This is
a drop of exactly $3.50 in the price
of one of these roaring power-makers.
The old price at Leesville was $685.
30, but the reduction now gives local
farmers and lumber men Fordsons
tractor for $452.30 at Leesville.
A considerable number Of these trac-
tors are already doing excellent ser
vice on Vernon farms and lumber
camps. and are proving themselves an
economy. They use kerosene for fuel.
which is economical and do not eat
when it rains or when not working. For
heavy hauling they are excellent.
Some of them in Vernon Parish are
now being used to pull dead mo-
tors out Of the mud holes, occasioned
by the continuous wet weather.
