STRENGTH STANDARDS ARE
DESIRED FOR CONTAINERS

That authority for prescribing
strength specifications for containers
for fruits and vegetables should be
vested in the United States depart
ment of agriculture is the text of a
Recommendation passed at the semi
annual meeting of the National Basket
and Fruit Package manufacturers
association at Cleveland, Ohio. April
13. The association also indored the
package bill introduced in the last
session of congress which provided
standards for round stave baskets,
splint baskets, and hampers. This
bill was never reached for final dis
position and it is expected that it
win be reintroduceG into congress at
an eearly date.
At present the department Of agri-
culture is charged wit hthe adminitra
ton OF the standard container act.
This law provides standards for berry
boxes, grape baskets and samll till
baskets used for fruits and vegetables,
but does not include the establish
ment Of strength specifications. There
has been a widespread demand for
investigation and recommendations, re-

POULTRY IN RICE
AND CANE SECTIONS

In previous years the rice and cane
growers Of Louisiana have devoted
very little time to diversified farm
ing and especially the production of
poultry and eggs.
Harley L. Williams, leader in poul-
try husbandry, has been devoting
quite a lot of time this spring to ex-
tension poultry work in the cane and
rice belt. Mr.. Williams is very en-
thausiastic over the outlook of the
poultry industry in this section Of the
state. The farmers of Calcasieu, JET
ferson Davis, Evangeline, Vermillion
and a number of other southwest
Louisiana parishes are devoting a lot
of their time and incidentally some
money to the poultry industry this
year.
The model poultry house with a
good flock of purebred poultry is no
uncommon sight in these parishes.
County agents Stafford, Cade, Cas-
sanova. Dutsch, and Cooper, and
Home Demonstration Agents, Stafford,
Dore, and Knox are rendering every
service possible toward promoting the
poultry industry in these sections, he
says.

DEDICATE PINES TO
MEMORY OF HEROES

Bogalusa, La, June 5.-Forty thous-
and acres Of growing young pines
have been dedicated to the memory
of veterans of the World War who
died fighting Americas battles, as
well as those who lived to carry-on, by
Washington parish.
The local post of the American Lee
gion had charge of the services dedi-
eating the forest of mourning pines
An inscription placed in the midst
of the young evergreens asks: What
more fitting than a growing ever
green pine, always lifting its leafy
arms to, pray?"
The Magic City post of the Ameri-
can Legion will see that the living
memorial is perpetuated by careful
guardianship Of the trees which will
provide homes and protection for
posterity, as those to whom they are
dedicated died for that purpose.

RRAHMAN CATTLE FOR
THE GULF COAST

A Brahman bull has been purchas-
ed for the iberia live stock experiment
farm, which is q conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, at Jeanerette, La. There is a
general belief among some cattlemen
in certain sections of the southern
coastal region of the United States
that the progeny of grade Brahman
bulls of desirable type have certain
outstanding merits that make the use
of these bulls on native and grade
COWS preferable to the use of sires
of better known beef breeds.
Several points favoring Brahmans
are claimed by the producers. Among
the more important ones it is claimed
that Brahman cattle withstand the in

the low and damp areas and that they

IN CHECKING UP MIGRATION

ISLES VALUABLE EVIDENCE

The desire to learn what became
OF birds that flew south with the ap-
proach of cold weather led Audubon,
the great American naturalist, to
place silver threads about the legs OF
brood of phoebes. The following
spring he was rewarded by having
two of the birds return to nest near
the haunts where they learned to fly.
This occurre early in the nineteen
century and was first known case
in America of bird banding. Since
that time this means Of securing IN
formation on the movements of life

Instructions for Bird Breeding
So valuable is this work, especially
with game and insectivorous species
birds, that in 1920 the United States
Department of agriculture took over
the experiments being conducted by
the American Bird-Branding AssOcia-
ton the socitey's work having cut
grown its available resources. Since
it is the returns from bird branding
that furnish the data desired in this
branch of research, it is of prime i'm
portance. that the methods employed
be improved and that the percentage
of birds under observation be increas-
ed. To assist co-operators in this
work, the department has published
department circular 40, Instructions
for Bird Branding. which is now avail
able for distribution.
1t is the plan of the Biological Sur
vey of the department, which is SUI
pervising the bird-branding work, to
advance this method of research along
two principal lines: first, the branding
of fledglings as formerely practiced;
and second, the systematic trapping
and branding of adult birds. AS the
branding Of fledgings has the advan-
tage of affording valuable information
on the ages of birds, the survey wish

es to encourage these activities, but
it desires to lay special emphasis on
the added value of the systematic trap
ping of adults.
With the establishment of we'll
connected chain of trapping stations
throughout the United States and
Canada, regular returns" are conf

lists with reports of retrapping birds
that had been banded at the original
and other stations Data thus afford

lines of migration of individual birds
the speed of travel, and innumerable
items of interest, many of which have
a direct bearing upon the study of
life histories and the administration
of the migratory bird treaty act with
which the department is charged.
Use Tray to Catch Birds
The department issues bands Of
two types Of co-operators IN the WORK.
One typs is the split ring band for
all small birds, and the other is the
flat strip band that is adjustable for
all large birds. For general land
bird trapping the so-called govern
ment sparrow trap" has been found
the most satisfactory. The bulletin
contains details of construction Of
this trap. It also discusses other
methods of trapping, the operation of
traps, handling and releasing birds,
and filling out reports. Federal trap
ping permits for this work are re-
quired under the migratory bird trea-
ty act. Applications for permits and
requests for the bulletin should be

The average number of premises af-

Six fires occurred in which the loss
was over 100000. Five of these were

JAPANESE CANE AS
a FORAGE CROP

Feeding tests with Japanese cane on
the Iberia experiment station farm at
Jeanerette, La, conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, have shown that this crop may
be successfully utilized as silage for
beef cattle. Greater care is required
in the preparation Of this crop for
silage than with most other crops. it
should be as mature as possible and
then cut finely so that it might be
tamped OF packed very thoroughly in
the silo.
Japanese cane silage, while much
inferior IN quality to that of corn or
sorghum, has considerable value in
some sections Of the south. It is a
very large yielder and will grow in
many sections where neither corn nor
sorghum will grow. The silage kept
well at the Iberia experiment farm
and was consumed by the cattle in
rather large amounts to good advan-
tage.

work and be out Of Washington by
the first of the new year. the tenta.

At every turn the conference has
reached temporary impasse, ana
while belief in ultimate agreements
is well nigh unanimous, it is rec

will be required to dispose of all
the vexing problems still confronting
the delegates.
Today conference activities lam
gushed while the delegates made
preparations for resumption of the
