THE MYTH or 4THE
GOOD OLD DAYS"


The farmers will not go back to The
good old days. within the memory of
the present generation. when butter
brought l0c a pound. eggs were five
cents a dozen, chickens were twelve
and one-half cents each or $l.00 for
twelve, while oats and corn brought
from ten to twenty cents bushel. Ev-
en- with these prices, the farmer often
got paid in due bills" which he had
TO trade out with the merchants who
bought his produce. The basic rea-
son for these low prices was the pow
erty Of the industrial worker, who re-
ceived but from 90 cents to $l.25 for
a days work.
So long as hundreds Of thousands Of
workers families had to live on less
than 500 a week, farm produce brot
almost nothing, and the farmers got
only niggardly living in return for
their toll. Conversely, the so-caIIed
high wages of the war years brought
farmers the most prosperity they have
ever had.
These are the facts underlying the
rapid spread of the Fam-Labor Unions
throughout the Southwest. They ex-
plain the expanding alliance Of the two
producing classes for political action.
The most revolutionary discovery Of
modern agriculture is not the magic Of
irrigation nor the marvellous yield Of
scientific crop production. It Is the
farmers discovery of the industrial
worker as his best friend. his necessary
customer, and natural ally.

CONSERVATION WORK
IA FLOODED AREAS


IN FLOODED AREAS
When the levees OF the Mississippi
broke some weeks ago Commissioner
M. L Alexander Of the Department Of
Conservation placed all the available
resources Of his department at the
disposal of the distressed people Of the
flooded areas. Some time before the
river reached Its highest stage, and be-
fore there had been a break, Mr.. Alex.
ander ordered the fleet OF the depart
ment to report at strategic points along
the rivers to be ready for an instant
call Of the Governor or Of other com
petent authority. The foresight and
wisdom Of this move was amply
proved by the result All the availa-
Bile craft and employees Of the depart
ment were placed at the disposal Of
the Governor, and both men and boats
were held in readiness to respond in
stantly to orders
1t was matter of congratulation to
Commissioner Alexander that local Of.
ficials and the people generally Co
operated heartily with the department
in its work of rescuing the distressed
people and protecting the larger game
from rapacious hunters Three weeks
before the break at Ferriday, Col. w.
s. Holmes, superintendent Of the game
division, went to North Louisiana to
prevent the slaughter of deer and
other wild game, which in periods Of
high water seek refuge on the ridges
and became easy victims of conscious
less hunters. Col Holmes placsd
agents at threatened points and these
agents saved many deer fleeing in ter
ror from the flood. A number Of men
were jailed for killing the fugitive ami
mails, but the lawlessness was soon
checked. The sheriffs of the parishes
affected by the Ferriday assisted Col.
Holmes and his force by all means in
their power and the sportsmen of the
section organized to assist the work
of the department. While the work in
North Louisiana was well under way,
the situation became critical in Pla.
quemines and st. Bernard parishes and
forces of the department were sent to
those parishes to save the deer driven
from the lowlands and TO render every
assistance possible to the distressed
people

ouTLAw ANIMALS IN LOUISIANA.

There is widespread impression
that the conservation laws Of tbs State
protect all wild birds and mammals in
the closed season, and that it is unlaw-
full to kill any Of the wild animals in
the State during that period. This in
error, There are several animals and
some birds that may be hunted through
out the year by any one possessing a
hunting license, and some Of this wild
life placed outside the pale by the con
servation laws should provide good
sport. Some birds and animals have
been classsd as undesirables by the
Conservation Department Of the State,
and either laws enacted by the Legis-
lature or regulations Of the depart.
ment, under the law, have made these
wild creatures outlaws.
Following is list Of the wild life
outlawed In Louisiana. The selection
Of the outlaws is not necessarily per
feet in all respects, in that it includes
birds that may do more good than
harm, in soms cases, and excludes
other creatures that should probably
be placed under the ban. The outlaws
in Louisiana are: Cormorant, or mig
ger. goose;" Cooper's hawk, or big
blue darter; sharp-shinned hawk, or
little blue darter; turkey buzzard and
black vulture, or ''carrior crow; great
aorned owl; crow; red.winged and
other blackbirds; English sparrow;
fox; wolf; wild eat, or bob cat; cou-
gar, or panther
All sae outlaws except the English
sparrow are native.

ONE SMALL BENEFIT
FROM THE OVERFLOW

FROM THE OVERFLOW
One small benefit that viii be OBJ
served in the districts affected after
the subsistence Of the flood will be the
restocking Of the fresh water streams
and lakes with fish. The Mississippi
river is not fishing stream, but its
water contains millions of game fish,
which do not bite in it's waters be-
cause they cannot see the bait. New
ertheless, the great river is one of the
best stocked streams anywhere, and
abounds in many varieties of fish.
This is shown by the millions of fish
which are rescued from the borrow
pits after each high water period, and
in the pools of the various swamps
in which the Mississippi flows every
year. The Conservation Department
of Louisiana sends out rescue parties
to save these fish marooned in the
borrow pits and the Federal govern
ment carries on the work after on
much greater scale. In former years
these fish perished miserably as this
pits dried up, but now they are either
returned to the main stream or are
used by the Conservation Department
to restock other waters OF the State.
The principal fresh water fish res
cued are large-mouthed black bass,
crappie (sac-a-lait), strawberry or cal
leo bass CLOSELY related to the crap
pie), rock bass, Yarmouth bass, white
bass, yellow bass and several varie-
ties of sunfish, commonly called perch.
Last year there we're 12O,656, ,42O fish
rescued from the overflow by the Fed
eral government and many thousands
by the Louisiana department. When
the water bursts through the levees
and flood the adjacent territory these
river fish are taken through the breaks
and left in the lakes and streams into
which the Mississippi water flows. The
overflow Of 1912 left an abundance of
fish in all the waters affected by the
breaks, and the same phenomenon will
be observed this year.

THE USE OF MUCK
AS A FERTILIZER
By George D. Coleman

10 many people the word muck"
conveys no more idea than that it may
be new kind Of breakfast food, OF
maybe new international language to
compete with Esperanto; but it mas
made rich farms out Of the poorest
land. South New Jersey has land Of
white and yellow sand-it cannot Be
called soil, as naturally it is too poor
to raise an umbrella on it-yet this
poor sandy land, by the use of muck,
has been made into rich farming land.
Some may ask, 'What is muck.
Muck is rotten leaves, roots, twigs, and
all kinds Of vegetable matter that has
accumulated in low wet ground, where
the water has prevented its dissipation
and it remains as black deposit. The
Everglades of Florida, which have been
drained and turned into rich gardens, is
only an accumulation Of muck, and
when dry the soil will burn if fire gets
to it. In South New Jersey, the Cedar
Swamps have large deposits Of muck.
o
Muck is matter not yet turned into peat.
In South New Jersey there are also de-
posts of mari. which is composed in
large part Of Carbonate Of Lime, and
they compost the mari with the Muck
leaving it lie 6 or 9 months, when the
mari corrects the acidity of the muck
and it is then put on the land. They
also use broken oyster shells, quick
lime, and air-slacked lime, and often
ashes, when obtainable, and the pro-
duct will make any crop grow. Often
the sour muck is put directly on the
land for watermelons or onions, and the
next year, or when they wish to raise
a crop that will not do so well on sour
land, they lime the land and produce
enormous crops Of corn or most any
thing. The heaviest wheat stubbIe |
ever saw as | did not see the wheat
harvested, was on just that poor sandy
land which had been heavily dressed
with muck. There is hardly state in
the Union, and few places, but that
deposits of muck can be found that ii
will not pay to drain or haul out where
it will drain and dry and be composted
and made into valuable fertilizer. We
have found here large deposit on our
lands and no doubt there's more Of it
in other spots The muck we have
found lies where. by digging bitches
properly. much of it can be drained
right where it lies. when it will weigh
one-half to one-third what it now does,
and can be hauled at once on to the
edge of the ground to be fertiIized and
there composted. For sugar cane, wat
ermelons, onions, strawberries and some
few other crops. it will do just as it is,
or if only exposed to the air for year,
it will often become sweet enough, or
at least neutral, to be used on almost
any crop. White or sweet potatoes will
accept it and thrive upon it, and its
effect upon the soil is durable, even
more SO than anything short Of old
fashioned barn-yard manure. IF you
want to make your soil fertile find a de-
posit Of muck and use it.

DIR. Hugh Grant Rowell.

A recent letter from the doctor re-
veals some facts which will be of
interest to his many Orleans friends.
1t appears that he has accepted a
position at New Bedford, Mass, and
began work August 1st as director
of health and hygiene for the city
schools, over 80 in number, including
every school in the city from kinder
garten to high school. The doctor
has charge of all health activities, in
Guiding medical inspection, instruc-
ton in medical subjects, school nurs-
ing, follow-up work and a general
oversight of the health side of all
school athletic activities. They have
eight play grounds and about 40 ex-
pert assistants in the various lines.
This means that he shas the oversight
of the health of $4,000 pupils and a
small force of nurses. While the po-
sition is new to that city, it is an
important step in the direction of
preventive medicine and the doctor
is a general health promoter. He is
a graduate of Orleans high school
Phillips-Exeter academy, Dartmouth
college, Harvard Medical college, and
has had several years. experience in
Massachusetts, General hospital an6
is exceptionally well fitted for this
position. Tt is a pleasure to note the
success of another-Orleans boy.
