(By Associated I'retw)
New Orleans, Feb: 12. "It the
United States is safety to retain the
agricultural leadership ' established,
by war, we must Improve both the-
quality and quantity of , livestock,
declared Dr. J. K. Mohler, Chief Of -the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Departmen tot Agri
culture, In an address here today to
tho Southern Cattlemen's Associa
tion. "Failure to maintain our livestock
proportion to our population meaner
dependence on other countries," said
Dr. Mohler. "It means dependence
on them for meat, for leather and
for animal fats. - It means depend
ence on them also for fertilizers
with which to maintain crop yields,
in the sbsence of manure. It mar
en me, dependence on them for

reil( M Europe lately has been de

jng tne feveT tick in leas than
jj Jnn trom two-thirds of the area

few yetri more 0f vigorous work will
,uppreM hog cholera entirely, and
remarking that "a healthy beginning
ha baea made In the systematic era-
dicatlon of animal tuberculosis by
tne accredited-herd plan, Dr. Mohler
declared, "with these three scourges
at igt olU 0f the way, or reduced to ,
potency, and the lessej ailments
tut jown jB proportion, the United
States ghoujd.be a livestock region
wi,ere animal improvement shoura
continue with accelerated progrese.-
."Borub" livestock Is o longer fit
fo'r perDetuation In this. country; the
Bpeaker said. He described the 'scrub'.
ar,ers In th's country already have
discarded acrub stock and are better
r Vcause of that decision, , Dr.
Mohler continued. "Pure breds are
worth more to keep and are worth
mon t0 seI. The scrub animal has
been ussfal as a eoanectlng link, but
our aisa trem now on should be to
make the scrub extinct and to make
It the miasdag link ao far as livestock
is concerned. , That csnnot be done
immediately, but it Is the goal toward
which we should work. '''
"Animal evolution Is constantly
.xolng on. . You are working here ta
t le South where the field for Improve
ment la ripe. If you are Just begln-
'nlng. begin right. If yon hsve stsrt-
ed wrong, get right as soon as you
