The Important Relation

Jos. A. Humphreys Of Houma

tance OF Levee Develop

The success Of community efterts TO-
wards the 'levelopmelIt Of natural resour-
ces depends largely on what IS being
.done with the levees, said Mr.. Jos. A.
Humphreys in his talk given at the In
ter-community meeting in Morgan City,
February 10Th. The talk contains much
information in regard to levee work in
the state as well as an inspiring message
of the great Importance Of accomplishing
yet more along this line. The address is
reproduced below:
81 feel that 1 should first congratu-
late you Of Morgan City, upon the sue
cess of holding this splendid meeting, the
gathering together Of so many represen-
tative citizens, who, moved by patriotic
motives have come here to join hands
in the effort to cooperate in push
ing the interest of this section and max
ing this demonstration Of public spirit
and enterprise.
"You are to be congratulated, not
only upon your success in getting the
sons of Louisiana together, but also up
on getting some of her fairest daughters

Of our citizens, this display OF public
spirit, I hope may be taken as display
of their determination to no longer wajA
for things to turn up, but that we ought
to unite our efforts in turning up what
ever we want and to develop the great
natural wealth Of this section. The
subjects that have been so ably discuss
ed before me, and those that will follow,
are the subjects probably closest to
YOUR hearts and include those of para
mount Importance in the development Of
this state. The character Of public
schools and public roads stamp more
clearly to my mind the character OF civ
ilization enjoyed by the community, than
ANYTHING else; but all Of these questions
absolutely depend upon the subject Civ

should therefore receive first consiidera,

section and state. have been assigned
the pleasant duty Of discussing levees,
but in the short time allotted me, it is
impossible to 90 into details, so that l
shall attempt nothing more, than few
general remarks. Both life and proper
ty in large part Of this state are pro-
tected by levees. Sixteen hundred and
fifty-three miles of levees protect our
people and country against the flood
waters of the Mississippi River; this
levee system is divided into districts,
each district controlled by Board Of
Commissioners, who are charged with the
duty of building and maintaining the
the ad valorem tax in the district,
are sixteen such districts in the state.
The revenue for this work comes from
the al Valorem tax in the district,
amounting to ten mills on the dollar and
forced contribution Of twenty-five cents
per one thousand pounds Of sugar, man
ufactured in the district, seven and one
half cents per barrel on syrup, five cents
per barrel on molasses, four cents per
ton on all cane shipped out Of the dis
trict, twenty-five cents per bale on cot
ton, two cents per hunored pounds or
cotton seed, when shipped out of the dis
tricts. one and one-half cents per saek
on rough rice, two and one-half cents pei
acre on all land, and sixty dollars pei
mile on all railroads in the district. II

The necessity Of encouraging and tax

ports state that Mr.. Marvin Morris of
that city has secu the contract to
erect residence fer Mrs Sallie Smith.
The house will be built Oh the north half

Simila along this line, in

Counter Attacks By Enemy

The nearest approach to q big bat
ie On the western front has occurred be-
tween the French and the Germans in the
Ner!un sector. Here the French troops
carried out q brilliant attack against the
ca!onne trenches and penetrated the Ger
nan positions as far as their fourth
line. The point of penetration was ov-
er front of 1900 meters and to a depth
pf 600 meters, ana $50 prisoners were
taken in the operation. Attempted at
tacks by the Germans north of the Che
min DIES Danes, near the Malincourt
wood and in Lorraine went for naught
owing to the accuracy of the French
fire.
In Palestine General Allenby's forces
again have dealt the Turks hard blow,
twelve miles to a maximum depth Of
5000 yards. Little opposition was ell
countered by the British commander
against the Ottomans, whose morale
seems to be deterioating with each fresh
attack.
Near Warneton, southeast of Ypres the
Australians have carried out big raid
against enemy positions, killing at
least fifty Of the German defenders, de-
stroying dugouts and bringing back
prisoners. Around Lens the Germans
have begun rather intensive lombard

POINTS on GAPEWORMS
AND THEIR TREATMENT
Strictly speaking. the gapeworm
should not be classified with intestinal
worms. as they are commonly under
stood, but under the term gapes. which
is an aifliction Of the windpipe. 1t is
caused by real worm, however, hence
its place in this article.
Gapcworms exist at all seasons
though they are seldom observed as
troublesome until the Matching season.
when they affect young chicks. The
latter are most susceptible from ten
days to six weeks old, because at this
age they are not big enough nor strong
enough to dislodEe the worms. Particu-
larry vigorous birds and older stock
are attacked by the Eapeworm. but
they usually succeed in getting rid Of

rid OF worms than light sandy loan.
For that reason light soil is recon-
mended for poultry. Usually it is per-
fcctly sanitary at all times.
Begin the sanitation of the yards by
draining off any stagnant pools or
marshy places. II necessary, fill them
in with fresh soil. Sunlight is one OF
the best insecticides. and the cheapest.
therefore the soil should be exposed to
it by thorough blowing and harrow
ing. Slaked lime is highly recon-
mended and in extreme cases it may be
necessary to spray the ground with Il
solution of carbolic acid or corrosive
subblimate (bichloride of mercury.
In using these disinfectants take into
account their very poisonous nature. In
case 4 Sprayer is not valuable, the so
luton can be applied with an ordinary
SprinklinE can. About one gallon OF
the solution is necessary TO penetrate
the ground to sufficient depth name
ly, two inches, Mix the corrosive sub
Innate in the proportion of one ounce
to eight gallons of water.
Fowls that have died from worms
should always he incineratcd or buried
in quicklim, otherwise they will spread
the Infection. In addition to the yards,
the houses, coops and other fixtures
should he cleaned and disinfectcd
thoroughly. Brooders especially should
be carefully gone over where worms
are known to exist
All litter and droppingS from the in
tested houses should be removed TO "A
place of safety. And bear in mind,
since the eggs OF worms have been
known 10 keep alive for more than u
year. the use OF worm infested drop
pings for fertilizer on grounds to which
chickens have access is a great risk.
Enterprsing poultrymcn who are
aware of the prevalence of worms, as
they are alive to the existence OF eX-
ternal vermin, make it their business to
keep on the lookout for manifestations
a all times. If fowl should die from
any cause. il is examined, not only
for the Immediate cause of death, but
for Indications of worms. Birds that
are killed for the home table are also
examined. because il one bird in the
flock is troubled. it is prctt.' safe to as
sumo that the remainder Is afflicted

with the small! chick
Chicks affected with gapeworms are
seen to cough and snceze with great
labor In a vain attempt to expel tho
pests from their throats
Soon they commence to cape. ex-
tending the neck and opening the bcak,
indicating that they are having serious
trouble In breathing. Later. as they
become weakened by their struggles
against the parasites, their appetitcs
fail. and they grow dull and listlcss.
their wings droop and they stand with
half-closcd eyes and head drawn back
into the body feathers. In this condi-
ton they arc apt TO die from sufiioca-
ton, or be trampled by their fellows.
The worm which causes this distress
is in reality two worms-male and
fcmalc-and they are so firmly grown
together that they cannot be separate ed
without tearing the tissues. The
female worm is the principal member.
1t is about onc-half inch long. while
the male is little more than onc-iifth
Of an inch.
The heads Of both are attached to
the mucous lining of the windpipe or
trachea, which causes such intense irri-
tation that undue secretions collect and
make breathing difficult. Sometimes so
many worms accumulate in the trachea
=
develop while they are in this state,
that breathing is shut off completely,
| causing immediate death OF the chick.
In dealing with this complaint the
Poultryman should learn TO rely more
upon a preventive than a cure because
very young chicks are difficult TO treat
| individually, and therefore expensive.
Good results have been obt@ined by ex-
tracing the worms with fcathtr.
twisted horse hair or one OF the
patented eXtractors made from wire.
These devices are forced down the vic
| TINS throaq either dry or moistencd
| with turpentine, then twisted about
| vigorously in an effort to dislodge the
| worms, and removed.
| Recently good results have been re-
| ported from indicating the drinking
water, or by injecting three 10 ten
| drops OF n per cent solution OF salicyl-
| ate of soda.
Where the parasites are known to
| exist the safest procedure is to plow the
ground and lime it thoroughly. and keep
| the chicks away from it for a year or
two. until some crops have been grown
on the infested ground. To guard
against infection from a previous sea
son, IL is always best to start the
broods on fresh soil that is known to
be sanitary. If any trouble develops
treat the yards and coops with strong
! disinfectant the same as for other kinds
OF worms and parasites.
