Vegetation Is slowly but gradually re-
recovering from the effects OF the last
freeze and the damage may not be as
grest az many were at first inclined to
think. The fig trees seemed the greatest
sufferers and for time Il looked like
they were pretty well done for, but most
all are now putting out again, and while
the crop this year win certainly be small
we should be thankful that the trees
were not killed. Vegetable gardens of
course suffered big setback by the
freeze, but where properly protected the
young plants were not all killed. In MANY
cases, however, the gardens had to be
replanted.
The Gazette vas somewhat in error last
week IN announcing that match game
OF basket ball was played at st. Joseph
on Saturday evening between the Newell
ton and St. Joseph basket ball teams, re-
sulting in victory for the home girls.
Two players on the visiting team were i'll
and consequently absent, which so Grip
pied their side as to make impossible all
hope Of success, and the game was prac-
tically called Oh, but rather than disap-
point the crowd that had gathered, a
friendly contest was agreed with local
girls as substitutes for the absent players.
Il was not understood to be match
game in any sense and we feel that an
injustice Is done the visitors when that
idea Is conveyed. On the whole the game
played last Saturday was very interesting
from start to finish, both sides doing
last, snappy work and all players re-
fecting credit on themselves.
Pursuant to resolution of the Police
Jury DR.. Dalrymple of Baton Rouge was
called to st. Joseph last week to look
into the situation as to hog cholera that
has been so prevalent and with such fatal
results in neighborhood of this place. DIR.
Dslrymple visited the infected places and
examined the swine suffering from the
nalady and inoculated number. The
doctor stated that the serum manufac-
tured at the State Experiment Station for
the prevention and cure Of cholera among
hogs is very efiicacious and rarely fails |
IN its good results provided the directions
accompanying same are strictly followed. |
The doctor stated that immunity was
largely dependent on two very essential |
viz: incubation of the serum |
and exposure to infection. He laid par
.icrlar stress upon the latter as q neces-
AIRY precaution, for without exposure to
Injection, the doctor announced, the Sc
'um loses its benefcent qualities. Thu
'erum can be obtained upon application
o him at Baton Rouge.
