expedition that has already saved
the lives of more than 100000
splendid game fish in this state is
now operating over 400 miles OF
Louisiana's rivers between st. Joseph

Summers receding waters have
left hundreds of thousands Of these
game fish stranded in shallow pools
in the barrow-pits along the levees,
beneath a blazing sun. Unless taken
out and placed in live streams, these
fish are doomed to die, and almost
irreparable loss for this summers fish

|. s. U. SUMMER SCHOOL
ENROLMENT DOUBLED

The number of students attending
the 1921 summer session of the Louis
lana State University is almost double
that of the 1918 session. This rapid
recovery from the war period, during
which there was an enrolment of only
4S5, is highly satisfactory.
The entire enrolment this year is
somthing over 800, the largest that
the university has ever had. OF this
number 756 are regular students, the
rest, except for the Is or more stu
dents of the 1921 forestry summer
camp are the vocational students who
are continuing their studies during
the summer. When first organized
summer session did not have very
large attendance, but it increased I'M
til in 1917 it reached 615. The next
year, during the war, it dropped to
435, but began almost Immediately
to rise again. and has in three years
almost doubled its number. The ma
ture and the number Of the courses
offered in normal, college and tech
nical subjects are said to be the rea-
son for this rapid increase.
The nature of the courses offered
are also responsible for the increase
in the number Of men students at the
university this term. Contrary to
former years, about 40 per cent OF
the students are men, either superin-
tendents, principals, or those taking
technical courses. There is also 2
noticeably larger number of 1921 high

per cent of a normal which is higher
than It has been at any previous cor
responding date during the past 10
years except on July l, 1916, when il
was SO per cent and on July l, 1913.
when IL was 81 per cent, we're dis
cloed in report just issued by Lion
Ell L. James, agricultural statistician
at New Orleans OF the bureau Of mar
kets and crop estimates, United States
department of agriculture.
The total acreage in sugar cane in
1921 in the Louisiana cane belt is es-
timatd to be 10Y per cent of last years
acreage or 272,O92 acres. The area
to be reserved for seed and used for
syrup is estimated to be approximate
ly 67,4O0 acres. The acreage to Ta
used for sugar is estimated to be 204.-
700 acres.
The total acreage In sugar cane in
LuS sugar Deli IL 4S2V was @o1tG5@
acres, Of which 1S2,s43 acres were
used for sugar and 71.449 acres were
4 reserved for seed and used for syrup.
I One hundred seventy-nine thousand
nine hundred acres were used for
sugar in 1919; 2S1, 200 acres, in 1918;
244,0O acres in 1917; and 221,00O
acres in 1916.
A condition Of 90 per cent on July

was particularly noticeable and is
probably the keynote of the variation
in results. It seems quite probable
that during exceedingly dry weather
the weevils visit the droplets Of mol
asses-water mixture for the purpose
of securing moisture but do not follow
this practice to as marked degree
during normal weather In other
words, the results so far indicate that
busted calcium arsenate is superior
to the molasses mixture except dur
ing exceedingly dry weather and on
very small plants
At the present time the growth OF
the cotton plants has apparently
reached the point where the molasses
mixture does not give any marked de-
gree of control. Our fairly large scale
publications on an average basis
showed that it takes at least one hour
and a half to treat one acre Of small
cotton with the moIasses mixture and
this would make the labor cost Of the
applications on an average basis
involving the plain dust In view Of
such results there seems to be little
reason for using the molasses mix
ture in preference to plain calcium
arsenats at any time and it certainly
should not be used on the cotton
plants after they reach the squaring
stage.

approximately 3,427,497 short tons Of
cane on the 2O4,70O acres to be used
for sugar this year. The average
amount Of sugar made per ton Of
cane for the years 1911 to 1920, in
elusive, is 1865 pounds. Using this
amount as approximately the yield OF
sugar per ton OF cane this year, We
have an estimated probable produc-
ton In Louisiana OF 233,927 short tons
Of sugar in 1921.
Last year 1922 tons were pro-
duced; in 1919, 121, 900 tons; in 1918,
2SOsOO tons; in 1917, 243.6OO tons;
in 1916, 9OS, 900 tons. The average
production during the last years is
214,1O4 tons.
The final outturn win probably bs
larger or smaller than 233,927 short
tons, depending upon conditions here
after, whether better or worse than
average conditions.
/ Weather conditions have generally
been very satisfactory in the Loufsi
ana cane belt thus far this year

The cane is generally thick, tall, o.
good color, and generally gives pros
pect of an excellent yield this sea

MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
OF WEB WORM DAMAGE

During the latter part Of June nu-
merous complaints OF damage by the
webworm were received from various
parts of Southern Louisiana. Many
trees, especially pecan, mulberry, per
simmon, pear, willow, and gum, were
entirely defoilated. The wehworm ap-
pears in Louisiana each year but Sc
roius outbreaks usually occur only al
intervals of several years. The last one
was in June of 1917. Insect parasites
and other factors usually hold it in
check. II is not probable that the
worms viii be abundant again this
year in southern Louisiana, though
there may be later destructive brood
in other parts Of the state. While trees
that have been defoilated win again
nut out new leaves any developing
fruit on them will usually drop and
the crop be lost.
The life-cycle of the webworm IS
briefly as follows: The eggs are laid
in masses on the leaves by the white
female moths. From these issue the
hairy caterpillars or worms which
feed in colonies within silken webs
spun by them. When the worms are
Young the web is small but It is en-
larged by the growing worms so as
to inclose other leaves as needed for
food and. as a result, the web finally
becomes large and conspicuous. If

becoming full grown they leave the
