A DIE IN NEW ORLEANS
MILES OF COUNTRY UNDER WATER-CROPS AND BUILD

New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Reports from scattered sections of the hurri- cane-swept area in Louisiana and on the Mississippi gulf coast placed the number of known dead, reported dead and missing at 549, property loss $12,OOO,0O0.
 Hundreds of persons along the Mississippi river and in interior sec tions are marooned. Relief vessels have been sent out. Three hundred persons are said to be caught in four houses at Empire, La. Seventy resi- dents of Grand Isle. which was swept by tidal waves, are reported maroon ed and suffering for food.
 Territory 15 miles south of New Orleans for 60 miles on both sides of the river is under from four to four teen feet of water. The Mississippi coast from Pass Christian west is se- riously damaged.
 The Louisville and Nashville rail road tracks west of Pass Christian are destroyed for miles. The long bridges are out It is expected it will be sev- eral weeks before trains can get through. The Queen and Crescent bridge across Lake Pontchartrain is intact. Slight damage done has been repaired. Trains will try to cross to- morrow.
 New Orleans is recovering rapidly. Nearly all the streets are cleared. The entire western part of the city is under water backed up from Lake Pontchartrain. The death list here remained 24 today. One was injured fatally. The property damage is growing as losses are tabulated. Trolley service was resumed on all but few lines today.
 The first word since the storm came from Bay St. Louis, Miss, and near by coast points last night and stated that one life was lost there and prop erty damage was heavy.

IMPURE SWIMMING POOL
 MAY TRANSMIT DISEASE
FERTILIZATION AND CHEMICAL DISINFECTION NECESSARY
 SAYS HEALTH SERVICE.

Ninety-one large municipalities in the United States have established public swimming pools to meet the de- mand or knowledge of swimming Swimming pools are on the increase. The United States Public Health Service publishes an article by Wal lace A. Manheimer, Ph. D., of Colum- bia University, on the results obtain ed from a careful examination of six swimming pools.
 1t is pointed out in the report that in swimming in polluted water, ty- iphoid fever, conjunctivitis, and other diseases may be acquired. The re- port gives in detail the results of the bacterial analyses made of the vari- ous pools and of the effects of refil- tration and chemical disinfectation. It is pointed out that when the water IS Gnfiltered it is apt to be cloudy, thereby making the danger of acci- dental drowning very great. When rehltration is practiced the water be-

comes clear and this danger is obvi- ated. The report concludes that the cubic capacity of a pool affects it's sanitary condition; that the process of adding dilution water is an effici- ent means of reducing the number of bacteria in the water, and that the supervision of the plant and the class of attendants are also important fac tors in pool sanitation. The combina- tion of refltration and disinfection by the use of calcium hypo-chlorite renders the sanitary condition of the water excellent. Many of the col leges and secondary schools of the United States have as graduation requirement, proven ability to swim. This important field of ath- letics should be surrounded by every sanitary safeguard.

E MILLIONS GOES
 OUT 10 BUY FOOD

Little Rock, Oct 2.-Statistics show that Arkansas sends out of the state annually $75,OOO,OOO for food pro- ducts. As a part of a campaign against this, Home Product Show is to be held in the Arcade building, Lit tie Rock, Oct. 27-30. An effort is to be made to increase home buying that some of this vast sum may be kept at home.
 Dean J. H. Miller of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas, endorses the project in the following words: Doubtless in this state as in others, people buy from the grocer without any regard to the source of supply and in all probability the ma iority of the women of the towns and cities of Arkansas buy more canned vegetables and canned fruits grown in New York than they do Arkansas grown stuff. Your Home Products Show, therefore, in connection with the State Federation of Women's Clubs, will do wonders to educate peo- pie to using Arkansas products.

STRESSES IMP0NRTACE
 OF FALL FLOWING
COMMISSIONER PAGE DECLARES TT A MOST PROFITABLE
 PRACTICE.

Little Rock, Oct. 4.-State Agricul- tural Commissioner John H. Page in his weekly letter to Arkansas farm CTS today, makes valuable suggestions anent the breaking of ground during the fall period. He says:
 "One of the most beneficial, and yet one of the least practiced steps, in the permanent upbuilding of our soil, is that of fall breaking and turning un- der of all weeds, stalks, stubble and grass on the land after the crops have been gathered. All such vege- tation will permanently improve the soil by providing humus, which is one of those elements necessary for soil building, to say nothing of the fertil- izing value of the routed stalks, etc. More fertilizer can be applied in this way than the average man puts on his soil in the spring in the way of commercial fertilizer.
 "Corn stalks are usually burned be- fore planting in the spring, and yet the corn stalks, if chopped and turn ed under in the fall, would be worth more to the coming crop than a 3OO- pound application of fertilizer of the kind generally used. Break the land about an inch deeper than it was broken last year.
 "Aside from the fertilizing value of fall breaking, it is the best farm prac- tice, because insects and crop pests are exposed to the cold, and their win ter quarters are destroyed, because deep breaking can be profitably prac- ticed in the fall, and not in the spring, and because moisture will be stored up for summer use, the land will be in better shape for quick planting, when planting time comes, and because there is more time for such work Tn the fall than there is when spring work is crowding, and because the stalks and weeds will be in the way ot crop cultivation, if not burned or saw ed for the soil by deep fall breaking
 Break your land this fall; turn under the stalks, stubble, weeds and grass; kill out insect pests; get ready for an early start next spring. On some of the fall-broken land, plant either clover, vetch, wheat, rye, oats or alfalfa. All are good.
