when Mr.. NJ. l.. Alexander, Commits
sioner of the State Conservation De

Hon. Y. j. Smith called the meeting

on the wonderful natural resources OF
Louisiana and what the Conservation
Department is doing to foster these
resources.
Those present were surprised to
learn that Louisiana's oyster produ
tion exceeds that of all the other
States combined, and that the fish
business Of the State amounts to
many millions of dollars every year.
What the audience was not sur
prised to hear Mr.. Alexander say was
that Iberia Parish does not pay a
great deal of attention to the game
laws and that no little trouble is met
with in trying to enforce these laws.
SO general is this disregard of the
hunting regulations that within the
last few weeks the Mayors of Jeaner-
cite and Crowley, one Sheriff and one
