concerning the trapping Of muskrat,
We furnish the law on the protection
of Fur bearing animals, Act 70 Of 1906.
Section !. Be it enacted by the Gener
al Assembly of the State'of Louisiana,
That it shall be unlawful In this State
to catch, trap or kill, or to pursue with
intent to catch or kill, between the
first day Of March and the 18th day of
November in any year, any otter, beav
err, mink, raccoon or oppossum.
Section 2. Be it further enacted, etc.,
That any person or persons violating
the above provisions shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and shall on
conviction thereof be fined not less
than $40 nor more than $500, or impris-
oned in the parish Jail for notices. than
ten days, nor more than ninety days,
or both at the discretion of the court,
for each %offense; provided, this shall
not apply to farmers or others, killing
minks, coons or opossums about their
premises or cultivated lands to prevent
depreciation.
Sections 8, Be it further enacted, etc.
That any person reporting to any Of
ficer, authorized under the laws OF this
State, to institute a prosecution, any
violators of this Act, shall receive as a
reward for such report one half the
fine levied and collected from the per-
son so reported, and the remainder of
such fine shall go to the public school
fund Of the parish in which the offense
was committed.
There is no law forbidding the trap
ping or killing Of muskrats. W. are Of
the opinion that the destruction of the
muskrat should be encouraged, in order
to prevent the vast amount Of depreda-
ton which they are doing to u lands
and u farmers. The Police Jury Of
this parish has passed an ordinance pro
tecting the alligator on that account
being an enemy to the muskrat. We say
to the trapper of muskrat. Keep up
your good work, and as long as there
remains a vestige Of the muskrat,

While there are many very large
sawmills in the United States. the
small mills far cutnumDer the large
ones, and it is particularly interesting
to note how many of these small mills
there are in the state which are not
now of first rank in lumber PTocuc-
ticn. The statistics for New York
were collected by the Forest. FISH,
and Game Commission of the state,
which secured reports from 1921
mills. In Pennsylvania 2.224 mills re-
ported to the Census, and in SsrginiS,
1897 mills. In North Carolina re-
ports came from 1,740 mlns. and in
Kentucky from $50 mills. The num-
Der of mills reporting from Tennessee
was only forty less than from Ken
lucky In West Virginia, Georgia,
Missouri, Ohio. and Indiana between

gagged in cutting lumber last year
The average output per mill was 3d.

Yellow pine, Douglas fir. white pine

Yellow pine has ranked first since u
surpassed white pine in the latter

More recently. white pine has also
been superseded By Douglas 1r. 50

Washington has been the p-'ncipai
single producing state since the use
of red cedar shingles became general.
and it supplies three fifths OF the total
output Of shingles last year. Among
the other shingle producing states.
Michigan. Louisiana, Maine. and Csii-
fornia were the most important. The
shingles cut in Michigan and Maine
are chiefly OF white cedar. those IN

haustiye ever prepared by an official
of the Government. later Mr.. Pepper
associated himself with the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor to make
reports on trade conditions IN both
South America and In Europe. and ne
leaves very shortly for the conu-
nent to continue his Investigations
along these lines.
Speaking of the growing import

siye policy of waterway development
now being strongly urged by the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress. Mr.. Pepper said:
ION the continent of Europe | got
a very decided impression that those
countries are fully up to date in utii-
izing their waterways They are not
content with what nature. has done
for them for they do good deal for
themselves in the way or improve
ments and Of artificial waterway.
Three points struck me-frst. the
constant improvements such as the
deepening of the channels; second,
the provision made for shipping ano
terminal facilities in the way OF
wharves and docks: third, the extent
to- which the natural waterways arc
supplemented by canals.
-Of course. everyone knows about
the Holland canals. but I don't think
Il is understood how Belgium also
supplements her very complete ra.i-
road system with canals and ship
ping terminal facilities. You can go
from Belgium TO Paris by canal.
Germany +, however. seems TO be
the most advanced Ct the continent
tai countries. The natural water
ways to and from the interior are the
Oder. the Elbe, and the Rhine These
waterways are very thoroughly su-
peryised by the Government aud they
are Just as thoroughly supplemented
by canals.
Il spend a good deals of time In the
iron and steel districts which are IN
Western Germany. The Rhine is the
great thoroughfarc for transportation
q coal and ore. and also TO some
extent for the finished steel products.

from the Rhine 10 the North Sea has
