ADDITIONAL PRIZES

fNRGt lglNfNA A-EkAG@R
FOR THE BOYS CLUBS
It has been announced by Commits
sioner Alexander of the Department of
Conservation that State Forester v. H.
Sonderegger has received a number OF
cash prizes for the Boys Refor 2station
Clubs for this year. These clubs are
rapidly becoming an important factor
in the reforestation movement in LOU
isiana. Not only is forestry being
studied, but the boys are taught and
trained in fire prevention and fire sup
preston. In addition they are shown
how to utilize and market the hy-pro-
ducts OF the lumber business, such as
fuel wood, bean poles, ties, pulp wood,
etc. From incomplete reports received
nearly 1000 have already entered the
clubs and it is safe to say that the
final figures will show 1900 or 1000
boys with plots of from one to three
acres. This movement originated in
Louisiana, the clubs organized being
the first of their kind in the world.
The donations in prizes so far re-
ported to Mr.. Sonderegger are: The
Southern Pine Association gives $100
for the State wide contest, this being
in addition to the fund of $500 contrib
uted by the Great Southern Lumber
Company.
The Lumber Trade Journal of New
Orleans, w G. Wright, publisher, con-
tributes $40 for prize of $25 and SIS,
to be given the two boys making the
best commercial showing in utilizing
the by-products to the best advantage.
These prizes are in addition to the
regular awards, and are given as an in
centive to the boys to demonstrate
that practical forestry can be made q
paying proposition.
Other prizes given for distribution
to boys in the parishes where the do
nors live are: Henry e. Hardtner Of
Urania Lumber Company, $45; citi-
liens of Winn parish, $50; Washington
parish police jury, $45; and the st.
Tammahy police jury, $45 for white

IBERIA CATTLE
TOP THE MARKET

According to information just re-
ceifed by Dean w. S. Dodson of the
college of agriculture, Louisiana State
University, two carloads of steers from
the Iberia experiment station at Jean
erette were sold last week on the Fort
Worth market at $6.75, the highest
price of the year. The steers average
962 pounds and all were dehorned.
They were finished off at the Iberia
station for the purpose of determining
the food falue of different rations and
also to afford a comparison in gains
between native Louisiana cattle and
those of better breeding from other
states.
The results of the experiment were
favorable to the Louisiana cattle, ac-
cording to ]. S. Quesenberry, assistant
director in charge of the iberia station.
At the completion of the test they out
weighed he Texas steers and they made
faster gains when on grass than on
feed.
Shortly after May |, last year, the
cattle were placed on grass, and on
December they were put on feed.
The feed ration consisted of corn and
soy bean silage, cottonseed meal and
blackstrap molasses. The cattle con-
sumed about As pounds of silage each
day, five pounds of cottonseed meal
and five pounds of blackstrap molas-
ses. At the completion of the test the
native Louisiana cattle outweighed the
Texas cattle 200 pounds per steer.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Quesenberry
that Louisiana offers a splendid field
for the profitable raising of cattle for
market purposes. Good grass may be
grown in Louisiana, he says. when
properly cultivated, and forage crops
are very successfully grown. Louis
lana has at present range for many
more cattle than are now in the state,
he says.

RAPID DESTRUCTION

VT FOftGGA GnQNN ~
The necessity for forest preserva-
ton in the South was graphically
shown by figures read at the recent
Forestry Congress at jackson, Miss.
The figures were extracted from the
Capper report, and attract attention
sharply to the need of legislation on
the subject OF the forests. The origi-
nal pine forests of the southern Appa-
lachian and southeastern States, with
the exception Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and West Virginia, covered from 1885,
100000 TO 1SO,O00,0OO acres and had 3
stand Of timber Of about $4,000, ,00O,-
600 feet. At the present time the
stand OF merohantable pine in this
territory is estimated at about 25S ,O00,-
100000 feet, Of which "a per cent is
old timber, the rest Of second growth.

GIRLS ORGANIZE
TO PRACTICE FORESTRY


Interest in the reforestation move
ment in Louisiana continues to grow
rapidly. Boys Reforestation Clubs
have been organized throughout the
wooded districts of the State, and thir-
teen troops Of boy scouts have taken
over tracts of twelve or fifteen acres,
which they are protecting and replant-
ing, and on which they hold their
meetings, in huts they have built for
themselves. Now the girls are enter
ing the movement. A group of girls
in SlideIl, st. Tammany parish, have
been actively interested in reforesta-
tion. and have organized a troop Of
girl scouts to care for and practice
foresty on three acres Of pine land,
where they will do practical work in
fire prevention, tree planting, and
study forestry generally. The troop Is
captaiDed by Miss Agnes Giles, with
Miss Thelma Vass as lieutenant.
