Whereas, on account of the con
StantIy increasing acreage of thi
crop there is more and NOR,
threatned danger of salt watel
which is fatal to the rice crop
and,
Whereas, we believe that thG
system of gravity irrigation pro
ipoSed by the Louisiana Gravity
Irrigation Company, or better

lieve the rice crop from the sal
water danger and damage, be OF
consequent great advantage to the
rapidly growing rice industry;

to dam the streams mentioned in
