He has shown a zeal knol and devotion to duty possessed by few coun men in any official capacity. Mr. muc Marcantel is at home in his ward, . d knows his people and their needs, and with the experience he has already for - had in handling the affairs of the nits Ward and Parish he is better qualified than ever before to fill the office with T1 - credit to himself and for the benefit of ing his people. The only criticism we have heard made of Mr. Marcantel's official acts is that he is too slow in deciding his g policy, but criticisms of this kind gener- the ally come from persons who fail to ap- the preciate the importance of a public servant being sure he is right before p he makes a move, and the official who lop] does this is a far safer man than the goc one who jumps at a conclusion, acts I hastily, and constituency suffers the day consequences. att enc 13t Little John Brooks Simpson's Birth.

QUARTERLY REPORT OFUt OEMONSTPAT O' -GENT 1, Jennings, La., Oct. 7, 1915. tl To the Honorable Police ury: il Gentlemen:-l beg to -:, here- a, with my quarterly reprt o: ;!uarter ,: ending Sept. 30th., coverl, , 'oaths of tl July, August and Septemli.r. ti Miles traveled by auto, 2214; ail- h road, 196.

Assisted in filling 14 silos. p Tested strength of solution in 3i i-. v In connection with the above I .:,h i to direct attention to a map of the pal- - ish showing the exact location of these t silos and dipping vats, particularly ll latter, which will show how wtll ad vanced this parish is toward eradicat- j ing the cattle tick. And right here I wish to urge your co-operation again in forging ahead in this work. We must get rid of the tick and with all the good forces of the parish at work to that end we can soon clean our par ish and lift the Federal quarantine that I now hangs over the heads of our stock. men, fixing a minimum price on their every head of live stock. To illustrate the difference between tick-free terri tory and the infested sections I wish to call attention to Tensas Snd Madison parish. The increase in live stock iu Madison parish since its release from quarantine two years ago has been t 4000 head, while Tensas with 12000 head e in 1913 now has 18000, or a net gain of f 6000 head. Take into consideration t that the stock has been gradually d graded up during that time, adding to Le their per head value, you can see what it it means in increased wealth to these t parishes, not to mention minimizing the losses from disease, as it has un doubtedly done. Another phase of this tick question was brought to my mind the past month while attending the State kn agent's meeting at Baton Rouge, when Et Drs. Dalrymple and Flowers exhibited ai letters from large stockmen from the a North and West asking for informa tion about tick free territory in the d state, stating that they would like to is locate in Louisiana but would not want to g tonto tick ilfestcd ter r;tory. As to the means of vettin2 rid of the tick I -hould s.:y it is a simple matter here ini the rice country where herds are switched from one rice field to an other, the ticks be;ng killed by flooding the rice fields I would not recom nlenll the compulsory dipping laws en acted in some sections, either, but rather a campaign of education, Show the farmers and stockmen how much tribute they are paying to the tick by having to teed them by the millions and they will soon become advocates of the vat. Our operations so far have been along this line in this parish and the good work is spreading rapidly in t, districts too where one would feel aure of resentment. Plaquemines parish recently appro. priated $2000 for dipping vats and it was a very wise move, but I am not go. ing to ask for any appropriation, but your active co-operation in spreading the gospel of tick eradication. The next step in livestock develop ment will be the eradication of charbon which is in my opinion easily possible. Out of 2600 head of stock vaccinated this season only live have died of char bon. In one section near Lake Arthur where about 500 head were vaccinated only 4 died, while on three adjoining plantations where no stock was treat ed 52 head died of charbon. In this connection I will say that heretofore we have no doubt used a lot of poor vaccine; doses that had deteriorated from age, Under the new regulations of the Livestock Sanitary Board no vaccine over 3 months old will be al lowed on sale. This I believe will in Ssure the almost complete immunization of all vaccinated stock. I wish to report that this parish is getting well along in the matter of growing its own feed stuffs. The corn acreage was very materially increased this year and we are now preparing to put in the biggest oat crop this section e has ever seen. One car of Louisiana g grown seed oats has already arrived in Jennings, a car is being made up for Elton and another car of similar seed will be planted around Welsh, Fenton n vicinity. Lake Arthur is also planting ta good acreage in oats. I am advising only the use of native rust proof seed e as only with such seed can we expect a ,n crop of oats in this state because of ,d the tendency to rust in spring. H. C.
