CITY'S EXPENSES
MUST BE REDUCED
At the May session of the Com
mission Council Mayor Sullivan said
it would be necessary to reduce the
city's expenditures, but at the meet
ing of the, Commission Council held
Monday afternoon, City Clerk. Bean
announced that the assessments of
property in Bogalusa had been re
duced between $700,000'and $800,
000, which will result in the city's
revenue being considerably reduced.
Mayor Sullivan stated that he, or
some one, had "been asleep," for the
assessment of the Great Southern
Lumber Company has not been re-
duced.

Bogalusa Farmers
Attract Attention
The following from the Cincinnati
Packer, the leading publication of the
fruit-growing industry, has the fol
lowing to say under'a BomIuTh date
line of the activity of the formers of
this' Îîctton aid ^heyTe ac
complishing:
'The farmers of Washington par-^
1 -
ish are showing a decided increase in
fanning activities this year, and re
suits up to date are gratifying. Sev-,
eral carloads of beans have been ,
shipped from Bogalusa to Eastern
markets and the returns were above
the average. Two cars of cabbage
shipped sold readily. All indications
™ nt * n 0 wo -
point to a successful season for wa
termelons. The New Orleans Great'
Northern Railroad has all prépara
tions made to handle over 700 cars
of melons, which movement will be
gin about June 15. Most of these
melons will be sold f. o. b. Bogalusa, i
rs are repre- '
La., as the melon growers are repre
sented by a sales agent's office es
tablished here.
"A group of railroad officials, rep-j
resentatives of the state and govern
ment agricultural departments and
experienced growers and shippers,
from Georgia have recently com- '
pleted a tour of the farming section
of the parish and all crops are well |
advanced. There will be more cot
ton, corn and hay produced along this
line this year than during the-past
five years. The watermelon acreage,
around 1800 acres, is being grown
under the supervision of experienced |
leaders, and every grower has fol-(is
lowed instructions as to planting, !
spraying, thinning and pruning, and J
!* n S and treating melons to prevent j
stem-end rot disease. Growers will!
W *H follow instructions in grad-igalusa
i i rs er unrl froo f 5 rs nr molnnc fn nrotronf 1
label all melons shipped. j
"The canning factory recently com-!°f
pleted at Bogalusa has been opérai
ing for several weeks now and put-|B®arl
ting out over 3000 cans of beans
daily, this crop to be followed by
canning of blackberries, then sweet A
i potatoes and sugar-cane syrup. Thej
; first carload of canned beans was I
| ^____,
sold last week.
The wool-pool this year will be the
largest ever held. *Over 200,000 |
pounds will be sold in one pool sale |
I at Bogalusa on June 20. This wool!
will be gtored and moved from Cov-|that
j provements
ington, Franklinton and Bogalusa.
"From these accomplishments ev-i
ery evidence points that Washinton
parish will shortly convert her cut-1
over lands into 'productive;- fertile
and rich farm lands, and daily invest
merfts in cut-over lands are being ;
made.
I "The New Orleans Great Northern
[Railroad feels the importance of this I
movement and has been co-operating
to its fullest extent. The movement
of farm products this year will treble I i
the tonnage of the past years, and
this fact, along with the modern im
indicates the era of
! prosnerous rural section for that par
ish."

Bogalusa May Be
Great Cattle Market
One of the biggest opportunities

bring a few- hundred thousand dollars
to the farmers of this and adjoining

Bogalusa. Few citizens realize that

long due to a quarantine being placed
in against this section because of fail
ure 'to comply with the dipping law.
the I A number of farmers have always
opposed the dipping law, not only in
the this, but adjoining parishes. Per
mission can be secured to ship meat,
but not the live cattle.
If Bogalusa would make a strenu
500 ous ®ff° r f> it I s believed a large

vhich would make this a great ship

It is stated that large cattle rais
ers see in this plan the only solution
Bi- of selling their stock. A ready mar
ket would wait their produc and in
many ways it would bring added
re- prosperity to this community. It is
lo- said no difficulty would be expevi
enced in financial the proposition, as
- the s î ock wou,d be taken by several
of : prominent men in each community.
It is also rumored that several towns
a in this section want to locate the m
tho dustry, but that Bogalusa appears to
