John Cochran OF Natchitoches par.
ish presided DR.. w. r. Dodson, chair
man OF the Louisiana Tick Eradica'
ton League, spoke of the good work
that had been done by that league. in
the way OF educating the people Of the
benefits derived from tick-free terri
tory. James X Gardner Of Calcasieu
outlined the difficulties encountered
in dealing with the herds Of cattle in
stormsVept areas. especially such as
those in some parts Of Calcasieu since
the storm Of 1918. A thick growth OF
underbrush has sprung up in the
fallen timber, which makes 1t impos-
sible to get wild cattle out of such
areas
1t was the consensus OF opinion af-
ter hearing the difficulties that had
been encountered in cattle dipping
discussed, that the only feasible plan
would be a plan by which the owner
could control his herds and dip all cat
tie. 1t was then decided that the live
stock men throughout the state urge
the legislature to enact no-fence
law, which would prevent the free
range of all live stock. This being
done, the state could be blocked off
into territories. having natural boun-
daries, and free all the area within
that particular territory, after which
1t would be released from quarantine,
then take similar block Of territory
with natural boundaries, and SO on
until the entire state was tick free.
In the meantime, tick eradication
work need not be halted in any other
part OF the state, and the people
which are in a minority in opposing
cattle dipping would gradually be ed
ucated to the fact that ii is possible
to eradicate the tick. The class who
oppose it on general principles could
easily see the educational advantages
II would have in the growth of pure
bred cattle.
Governor Parker pledged his SUP
port Of any feasible plan the live stock
men might adopt. 1t was pointed out
by several of the prominent men that
1t would be impractical for the young
men OF the state to attend the Greater
Agricultural College and take courses
on types and values Of pure bred
stock when this state is SO far behind
the times that il could not produce
pure bred cattle.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer 6 Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.

Tennessee Farmer Wants to Go From House to House and Tell Everybody About
 TanIaC.

If 1 were not so busy with my farm work 1 would go from house to house and tell the people about Tan lac," said A. J. Livingston, a we'll known farmer, living near Ashland City, Tenn.
 T had stomach and kidney trouble and suffered torment with my back and side. The doctors could do noth- ing for me, so 1 wrote to a friend of mine in Nashville about Tanlac. and he advised me to try 1t, saying he had heard so many favorable reports about 1t and sent me bottle.
 After taking the first bottle I felt so much better that ordered another bottle myself and the result is am a well man. | told a friend of mine about 1t and ordered a bottle for him and he had good results. l can eat anything l want and it don't hurt me, and can sleep like log. To tell you the truth, just simply feel like new man and have more strength and en- ergy than have had in years. It is simply the grandest medicine in the world. would like to see all of my friends and get those who are suffer ing to try 1t, and I hope you will reach them through this testimonial, which l have gladly given"

WESTERN FOREST ERE
 SEASON OPENS FAVoRA5LY

Denver.-Frequent rains have been a boon to the western forests this spring, and the officers of the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture, express themselves aB greatly relieved at escaping a danger which has been keeping them on the anxious seat.
 The danger was that if the summer fire season came on as usual their control of the national forests would be impossible with the funds available before July 1, when new fiscal year begins. Hence the relief that frequent rains have kept the forests too damp to permit dangerous conditions to be- come general.
 But the government foresters do not consider that this is entirely due to favorable weather and timely rains. The public is becoming interested in forest preservation, and the oft-re- peated story of the destruction caused by human carelessness is beginning to make its impression. The United States leads all nations in forest fires. With over 30,OOO fires per year, de- stroying nearly $2OOOO,OOO worth of timber and property, this country has the world outclasSed.
 There have only been four large fires so far this year in the 147 na- tional forests scattered throughout the country-one in Minnesota, one in Florida, and the other two in Arizona, one of which started in Old Mexico and swept across the international boundary. This is an exceptional rec ord and means much to the forest service.
 Eighty per cent of the forest fires that occurred in the United States during the past five years were due to human carelessness. 4 camp fire left burning, a lighted match or cigarette but thoughtlessly thrown aside, the for esters say, often cause cOnflagrations that take days and weeks of hard work to suppress It is for this reason that they ask every good citizen to adopt as part of his daily creed the motto of the forest service-PUT OUT, KEEP OUT, FOREST FIRES.

go about buying poisons and other supplies when they are needed, with out the necessity of untangling red tape. Sometimes 1t is advantageous to fight the grasshopper army with fire, and 1t is often necessary to spread poisoned bait upon the prop erty of nonresident landowners. Here are two points where legal advice is desirable, and the leaders should know their exact rights and limits in these matters before the time comes for them to act to save the crops of the community.
 If the district is divided into defense areas and each area put un- der the supervision of a man who knows grasshopper habits and how to use the weapons which the organiza. ton has put in his hands, there will be no waste of materials or effort when the foothills disgorge their hun- gry hordes. Lastly, the wider the CO., operation the better the results will be. It does no good to drive the hop pers from one district, if they are al- lowed to settle and feed upon an- other-passing the pest along to the other fellow does not afford perma- nent relief, and 1t puts an extra hard ship upon ones neighbor. The assault should be simultaneous throughout the whole infested area; farm should CO., operate with farm, village with vil- lage, and county with county, so that every leap that the hopper makes to escape the frying pan will land him in the fire, the specialists say.
 Eight Species in West.
 There are at least eight species of grasshopper commonly found in the Pacific states. Some of these are winged, some are not; some prefer enc variety of food, but altogether, when seasonal conditions are favor able, they can destroy any crop that western farmers grow. The habits and characteristics of each species are de- scribed in Farmers Bulletin 114O, Grasshopper Control in the Pacific States, which may be had upon re- quest of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
 In addition to a brief description of the pests, the bulletin gives the recipes for mixing the most efficient poisons, when to spread, and how to place the bait so as to avoid injury to live stock. Special control meas ures are required to meet different geographical conditions, and the pub ication presents the methods that have proved most effective after five years of experimentation.

CONTROL OF WHEAT DISEASE
Farmers Bulletin 1918 Tells of Flag Smut Discovered in Illinois
 County in 1919.

Methods for controlling flag smut, a destructive disease of wheat, are given in Farmers Bulletin 1213, Flag Smut of Wheat and Its Control, is- sued for free distribution by the Uni- ted States Department of Agriculture. The disease was discovered in 1919 near Granite City, Madison county, H., and in 1920 was found in III fields confined to 47 square miles.
 Black stripes running lengthwise in the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical ps flag smut. Diseased plants are stunted and rarely head. The disease is spread by spores carried on the seed, and by spores left in the field on infected plant material or on the ground, where they may be scattered In various ways, and infect wheat seedlings in the fall.

. $Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 There is nothing so good as poisoned bran for taking the hop out of a graSshOpper and there is no better way of buying and distributing the bran than through a community or ganization, specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture find. In the areas where the grass hoppers come down on the farm crops like all the plaques of Egypt there should be grasshopper-hghting organ izations. just as there are fre-fghting units in every city. Fighting a grass hopper invasion without the help of the neighbors is like trying to put out a fire in a powder factory with one bucket of water.
 In the Pacific states the vast, un- cultivated areas of mountains, foot hills, and grasslands afford ideal breeding grounds for at least eight common species of grasshopper. Un- disturbed, the pests can mass their forces in the spring and be ready for a descent upon the alfalfa fields and cultivated crops of the farmer when weather conditions permit. There seems to be little hope of destroying the grasshoppers in these isolated breeding areas and for that reason specialists of the bureau of entomology, United States Department of Agricul- ture, maintain that it will be many years before the grasshopper menace disappears, from the West. But, while the eight plaques cannot be exter-

 "Then there are the pansies with their dear little faces. How many there are of them in the garden. There is one of gray and lavender, and it looks like a dear, sweet old lady with a smile on her face, dressed in lovely shades of gray and lavender.
 There will be red peOnies and white peonies soon and then will come the midsummer flowers and later the as ters and the autumn flowers.

minated at their source, they can be met with a systematic, well-directed barrage of poisoned bait, fire, and other weapons for control when they attempt to invade the cultivated fields.
 Preparing for the Attack.
 Every locality should have an or ganization fully equipped and pre- pared to meet the grasshopper en- slaught. All preparations should be made early in the spring before the insects have left their breeding grounds. The organization should be directed and controlled by efficient and energetic leaders, and it ought to have the cooperation and support If every farmer in the community as well as the landowners who hold title to the remote areas from which the plague spreads.
 An equitable method of raising funds for the work can be arranged if every landholder is. taxed on the acreage he holds or operates. The funds should be collected and placed at the disposal of a good business man who will know how and where to
