4 serious outbreak of the fall web
worm has occurred in portions of
southern Louisiana, the caterpillars
becoming full grown about July /.
Injury is especially severe on willow,
gum, pecan, pear, persimmon, mul-
berry and peach trees After devour-
ing the foliage, of which they are es-
pecially fond, the, eaterpillars feed up
on great variety Of plants, including
some field and garden crops.
It is possible the next generation
of caterpillars, which will appear
shortly, viii also be very destruct-
i've one in Louisiana. Farmers
should watch for the appearance of
the small, young caterpillars, which
form over the foliage upon which
they feed" says I. H. Jones, en-
tomological assistant, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Spraying the
cultivated trees, shrubs, vines, and
other plants upon which they appear,
with an arsenicai poison will kill the
caterpillars and prevent further dam
age. For this purpose arsenate of
lead at the rate . f4hree pounds of the
poWd cred six pounds Of the
paste form to fifty gallons OF Of water
is recommended. Spraying should be
done when the worms are srnall--as
soon as possible after they have is
sued from the eggs-in order that as

TYPHOID PREVENTION,
Free Vaccine Furnished Physicians by
State Board of Health.

The following letter was sent to
physicians throughout Louisiana by
DR.. Oscar Dowling, president of the
State Board Of Health, under date of
July Ia:
'Reports received in the office this
week show that one or more cases of
typhoid fever exists in a number of
communities in various sections of
the state. The probable source of in
fection in many instances is thought
to be polluted water of surface wells,
or, where there are open privies,
flies.
"If there is one case in your COM
munity or in the parish every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
spread. The source of infection
should be investigated and if thought
to be the water supply citizens should
be advised to boil all water used for
drinking purposes. If there are open
closets immediate steps should be
taken to have same screened.
''The State Board of Health fur
nShes free anti-typhoid vaccine, and
will send it upon request of any
physician.
''For protection and as precau-
tionary measure vaccination against
typhoid should be encouraged.
'The State Board of Health will
thank you for information concern
ing any case and will appreciate your
cooperation in the effort to eradicate
this dread disease.
