CONVERT CASH
INTO FISH PONDS
DEPARTMENT ADVISES FARMERS
TO ADOPT PLAN TO PROVIDE
FOR FOOD SUPPLY

New Orleans, Sept. 3O.-Most Of the
farmers of Louisiana should have a
private fish pond in the opinion of
the conservation department of the
state. In nearly every instance there
is a cash in the skin of the old earth
which, if closed at the lower end,
would collect enough of the rainfall
to make a permanent pond. Objec-
ton has been raised in this on the
theory that such bodies of water
would increase the mosquito pest,
but as a matter of fact it would de-
crease that pest, because the top mill
nows in the pond would destroy the
larvae, whereas leaving these gashes
as they are, every rain forms puddles
of water in which fish can not live,
but in which the larvae Of the mos
quito thrive. Of course. perfect
drainage would kill off the mosqui-
toes, but perfect drainage is almost
impossible in many cases, and in 9TH
ers is not accomplished.
Not every pond would accommodate
the fish that the farmer would most
desire perhaps. but all would provide
for edible fish. A large pond could
be used for bass and such like fish,
sustenanee are called pech)
while the smaller soles would pro-
vide sustenanee for the smaller var
ieties. such as sunfish, (which in this
section are called pereh,) sac-a-Iait,
and the like. Thus these gashes in
the soil would not only be utilized to
produce food for the family but filling
them with water would remove an
ugly blot on the landscape.
The conservation department of
Louisiana is much interested in this
subject and if the farmer who es-
tablishes such a pond viii write 10
the department describing the charac-
ter of the pond he desires to use
an expert will advise him what spe-
cies Of native fish is best to use as
stock Naturally those farmers who
live near streams or lakes teeming
with fish viii not be interested in the
subject, though even they could at
all times get a particular kind Of fish
from the pond, but those somewhat
removed from the natural habitat Of
fish would find the plan of consid-
cradle economic value, aside from its
other pleasing aspects.
A little labor VIII turn favorabiy

NEW DIRT ROAD IN SIXTH
WARD SPLENDID EXAMPLE

A reporter motored over the new
dirt road constructed in the sixth
ward from near Lawtell to Eunice,
last Sunday. The change is remark
able as compared with the old round
about road by the way Of >Prud'-
homme City, in that it reduces the dis
lance several miles. There are ether
splendid features, however, that can
not be overlooked. The road has
been built according to standard spe-
cifications and with the addition Of a
gravel surface would be first-class
highway in every respect. The drain
age is practically perfect and the
bridges are modern and absolutely
substantial Owing to the nature of
the soil a few spots are somewhat
sticky following a rain, but getting
over the road is an easy matter, pro-
vided some repair work in the way
of dragging is done occasionally.
There are several spots on the old
road, from the end of the gravel at
Lawtell to the beginning Of the new
road, that need instant attention, es-
peciaIly the sticky spot at the end of
the gravel. Unless some attention is
given these spots it win be almost
impossible to get through in wet
weather. The rain of last Sunday
morning first in long time
made these places pretty sticky, and
one can Judge what will happen
should a protracted wet season set in.
