MODEL DAIRY WILL
BE FAIR" FEATURE

One of the most important features
of the cattle division of the State
Fair of Louisiana, October 80 to No
vember 4, inclusive, will be the model
dairy, which will be under direction
of experts. Visitors will be given
demonstrations in up-to-date methods
and will receive valuable information
for use in dairying.
Those in charge of the model dairy
will be prepared to answer questions,
and will take pleasure in doing so
with a view to stimulating greater
interest in the dairy industry.
With the nation at war and the
demand for food products greater
than ever before, the teaching Of bet
ter farming methods is important.
The government urges this and the
State Fair is responding. The opera
ton of the model dairy is one way
in which the lesson Is taught.

Bee Keepers Will
Have Special Help

&c. Davis, specialist in bee cul'
ture, has been added to the Agri-
cultural Extension Division of the
Louisiana State University. Mr..
Davis is a native of Louisiana and
a practical bee keeper of long ex-
perience. He has recently spent
some time in Washington, D. c.,
investigating the latest methods
of bee culture.
Louisiana is said to have more
bees in proportion to it's size than
any other Southern State, but
most of the hives produce little
honey on account of poor methods
in use. 1t will be the duties of Mr..
Davis to assist bee keepers who
are already in the business to i'm
prove their apiaries and to en-
courage others who are favor
ably situated to take up the work.
, The scarcity of sugar makes the
production of honey Of especial
Importance at the present time.
i Those who expect to produce
honey next spring should get in
touch with Mr.Davis now, as the
most important work i'll bee cul'
ture is during the fall and winter.
Persons desiring bis assistance
should write to the Extension
Division, Louisiana State Uni.
versity, Baton Rouge.

Hunting Season Changed BY
Law.

Of interest to the $4,000 hunt.
ters of Louisiana was the an
nouncement made by Commissio-
ner M. l.. Alexander of the chan.
ges of the game laws OF tEe state
as enacted by the recent session
of the general assembly. The
new laws were all presented by
the department Of conservation.
The outstanding feature OF the
new laws, especially as regards
to waterfowl, is that the state
laws and the federal laws are now
uniform. This means that the
hunting of the migratory birds
have been curtailed fifteen days,
and instead of hunters being al
lowed to go into the marshes af-
ter the ducks and geese until the
middle Of February, there is pro-
vided for this sport three months
of hunting, viz from November 1,
to the last day of January.
Of interest to the hunters in
upland portions Of the state will
be the lengthening'of the seasons
for the shooting Of squirrels and
wild turkeys. Hunters through.
out the state will be interested in
the fact that the shooting Of doves
has been advanced 50 that they
may pursue this sport when these
birds are at their best.
In the new game laws, the de-
partment of conservation has de-
parted from the rule adopted some
years age of having all hunting
seasons open and close simultan"-
ously. The department now be-
lieves that the sportsmen of Lou
isiana fully realize and appreciate
the need of having different sea-
sons for the hunting of differen,
species of birds and animals, ano
Commissioner Alexander express.
ed himself as being confident thai
the hunters would observe the
different seasons as provided by
the letter of the law.
Under the new laws, hunting il
restricted to ii half hour befor,
| sunrise to sunset. The season fol
the hunting of the wild waterfow
which includes ducks, geese, coots
(poule d'eau), gallinules, rails
(marsh- -hens) and the differen
shore birds such as sandpipers
plovers, chowooks and snipe, will
. commence the first day of Novem
, ber and continue to the last da,,
Of January. The season for tn,
hunting of Bob-White (quail o
, partridge) will be the same as
4 has been the past two seasons, vi;
f the 18th day of November to tn
/. last day of February.
S The hunting season for til,
