Charlton in Southwest Louisiana.

The disquieting news items that appear from
day to day indicate the continuing of the outbreak
of Charlton in Southwest Louisiana and it is a very
serious matter. The Investigations that it was
proposed to make from Washington and such in
vestigat o.s as our own State Experiment Station
corps could undertake, apparently have here an
excellent opportunity to develope some we'll
founded conclusions in regard to this dreadful dis
ease that is reported now to be destroying so
many animals in Southwestern Louisiana and from
which there has already occurred the death of one
man and two others have been infected. It is all
very we'll for the doctors of veterinary science to
give advice, just as it is for doctors of theology to
do the same thing. Good advice will be perfectly
fruitless unless accompanied with some such evil
dences as settled the yellow fever problem in Ha-
vana. General Gorgas has applied the Havana
data to Panama and practically revolutionized
health conditions throughout the entire American
zone there.
In some parts of Louisiana an outbreak of
Charlton seems imminent every season, but some
times it comes, and frequently it does not come.
it seems to come when there is a scarcity of dry
forage and when animals are led to Craze more
closely to the ground than usual, thus apparently
substantiating, but not demonstrating, the &C.
curacy PasteIr's hypothesis that the spores Of
Charlton would survive indefinitely long near the
ground line and might infect animals at any time.
The news now comes from Cameron Parish
that many cattle are dying there, and Cameron is
the chief cattle producing parish Of the state.
Louisiana should be an immense producer of live
stock. We are now spending fortunes in endeav-
oring to ~extirpate grass from our cane, corn, cot
ton and rice fields and yet the farmers Of Holland
and Denmark make their fortunes out of the
grasses grown on their own lands by producing
and fattening cattle and sending meats and dairy
products to all parts of the world. If, when there
is an outbreak Of Charlton, or anthrax, our scien-
fists content themselves with giving us good ad-
vice, and demonstrating nothing, we shall be very
slow indeed to progress into any better knowledge
of the origin and progress of Charlton, or anthrax.
Now that the disease is in the field, we believe
that every resource possible of our United States
Department Of Agriculture and Of our State Elk.
pertinent Station should be utilized for the pur.
pose Of learning far more than we now know
about the progress Of this disease. In our consid.
GRAFTON of it we have no data of Importance that
has been secured in this generation. Our remedial
practices and preventive conditions belong to 8
former epoch and it is unfortunate for the reputa.
ton of our scientific institutions that so little has
thus far been learned about it. Yellow fever,
malarial and typhoid fever in mankind have beer
