DAM NE 4ITENTiOn
Engineer Recommends That work Be
Done for Protection.

Western News,,apcr Unfsn News Service
ponaldsonville.- The feeting OF
the Lafourche BasinLevee Board Ma
jor F. NJ. Kerr chia state engineer,
made the statement that the Donald
sonville dam is in bad condition, and
during the last high water had given
serious concern to the state engineers.
Major Kerr said the State Board of
Engineers is considaring two plans in
connection with the Bayosl Lafourche
dam problem. One construct a
new dam some 2oa feet closer to the
river than the present IN nbankment,
locating it on the exts siye battuer
formed on the river of the dam
since the aclpsineqt d fonrehe.
Another plan is toJ dig trench at
the base of the present dam. on the
river side, and to drive row of sheet
riling in this treneh across the entire
width of the dan, after which the
trench would be filed with some ma
terial other thar the loose sand
1t is believed this would prevent any
seepage through the base of the en-
bankment. and as the cost would be
considerably lessfhan that entailed by
the constructienI of a new dam, the
latter will probably be the plan adopt
ed by the engineers when the matter
comes up for attention.

Not one was injured. All were thrown

gasoline had accumulated in the hull
of the boat and spark or match
caused the explosion. The Lady Ellen

Value of Club Work Shown by
Figures Based on Answers
to Questions.
WORTH $50. 600 TO THE STATE
Money Value Considered Small Item
in Comparison to Trairing
Received ny Girls

Western Newspaper Onion News Service.
Baton RoIge.-On August IA there
was sent out from the department OF
agricultural extension of the Louisi-
ana State University some questions
to the members of the girls canning
and poultry clubs. The purpose of
these questions was to ascertain the
money value of the work in this state.
This work was begun December /,
1911.
The following are some Of the ques-
tions propounded:
How many jars of fruit and yegeta-
bles have you put up this season?
How many jars of preserves?
How many bottles of catsup?
How many glasses Of jelly?
A compilation of the replies receiv-
ed is as follows:
Three thousand and .ten glasses of
Jelly, 374 bottles of catsup, l,107 jars
of preserves, 2S,S57 cans of fruit and
vegetables. The whole approximat-
ing $4,000 worth of stuff. Or in other
words, each girl has increased the
wealth of Louisiana almost $50.
Taking this as a basis, the girls who
belong to the demonstration club OF
the state have increased Louisiana s
wealth about $4,000.
The money value of this work. how
ever, is the smallest item. The train
ing which these girls have had and
the confidence which has been given
them and the respect for labor which
they have acquired cannot be estlmaf-
ed in dollars and cents. This work,
too, has had a wonderful influence on
farming communities. The men and
women have taken an interest in this
and have been taught many valuable
lessons in the art Of preserving those
things that have heretofore gone TO
waste.
This work is done jointly by the de-
partment of agricultural extension Of
the Louisiana State University, and
