FARMERS OF LOUISIANA KICKING
~~~~~
A special lrom New Orleans says: "The excitement over the order of the Louisiana
Boll Weevil commission that no cotton be planted on 1,000 acres of land in the
Nigreet neigh borhood, Sabine Parish, over near the Texas line, has by no means
subsided.
Gov. Heard and the members of the commission, with the
experts who visited the parish and delivered the order, think there will not be
any serious trouble or that any one will attempt to defy the ruling of the state
commission. Gov, Heard says that not over thirty planters are directly affected
and he believes that they will be satisfied to abide by the decision ."
