DISCUSSES mookwoRM IN the SOUTH
Or. Porter Says Louisiana 70 Affect

Dr.. Porter Says Louisiana 10 Affect
ed About the Least.
New Orleans-"Louisiana is not
affected as. much as any of the other
Southern states with the hookworm
disease" said DR.. Sidney D. Porter:
chief medical inspector Of the State
Board Of Health, on his return from a
tour of inspection and investigation
into the disease in several Southern
states. DR.. Porter attended the con-
ference of hookworm experts at Rich
mond, Va. He also went to Atlanta,
Ca, and then through the state Of
Georgia into the state of Florida. He
studied the disease in all its phases
in each Of the states, and found 60
pupils out Of 62 in a school in Flor
ida suffering from the disease, many
of them in very bad shape.
Il don't know exactly the condi-
tion of the hookworm disease in LOU
isiana," said the doctor, "and would
not care to commit myself on the sub
ject until a systematic investigation
is made into the disease in this state
and the actual conditions made
known. However, will say that,
from my personal observations, feel
almost positive when / say that Lon
isiana is not affected as much as the
other Southern states with the dis
ease."

A Rice Pool to Fix Prices Monthly;
A Penalty Provided for Violations.

Crowley.-The organization commit
tee appoined at the rice farmers
meeting to draw up q form of organ
ization held a session after the meet
ing closed and adopted a tentative
plan which is summarized in the fol-
lowing resolution:
THAT we organize q corporation,
which shall constitute q rough rice
selling agency, which shall have
charge of the selling of all rice in tho
territory and to which farmers will
make absolute and binding contracts
for the selling Of said rice and allow
q commission for SO doing, which
shall go to meet the expense of the
selling corporation, and which con-
tract shall fix a penalty for. nom
compliance. The corporation is 20
have power to fix prices from month
to month as it sees fit"
A committee of eleven was appoint
ed to act as an executive board, with
full power to employ counsel, prepare
charter, elect officers, etc. 1t is con-
templated that as soon as the details
of the organization are worked out
the project will be presented at a
general meeting of rice farmers to be
held as soon as practicable.
William B. Gabbert Of Welsh IS
chairman of the executive board and
DR.. A. C. wilkins of Welsh is sec.
retary.
The tentative plan adopted is sim
ilar to a plan proposed by ]. E. Brous-
sard of Beaumont. It has been re-
ferred to as "the Lawson plan," be-
cause 1t was also advocated by w.
e. Lawson, cashier of the Bank OF
Acadia. 1t differs from the Brous-
sard plan only in unimportant points.
Much enthusiasm was displayed at
the meeting, and much good will un-
doubtedly result therefrom.
