HOW-==-========
FORESTS KEEP ON MOVE
LIKE ALL LIVING THINGS.
How do we get the idea that
a forest is a stationary, immov-
able thing? Does not even dra-
matte history relate how Bur
ham Wood came to Dunsinane"
Nature does not believe in the
static. In the flux of life the
woods are not set apart; they
travel on with the immemorable
procession. An English scientist
assumed that ut is the aim and
desire of every living species to
dominate the earth; and did not

ances about equal that desire, a
given species would proceed to
populate the flrmament--even to
citplullNS VI mosquitoes.
The forest has four steeds to
carry 1t upon this conquering
crusade-wind water, birds and
animals-the legions of the nut
bearing trees rely most upon an
imals, chiefly on the rodent
breeds, who have the boarding
instinct. Squirrels and chip
hunks are often unwilling
planters of nuts and acorns.
Gophers and woodmice, porcu-
pines and the diminutive shrews,
to say nothing Of opossums and
raccoons, are the means where
by the oaks, hlckories, beeches,
butternuts and persimmons seek
to replenish the earth, Cherry
pits are a favorite delicacy of
squirrels, as are also the seeds

wood shrubs the bittersweet, dog

Naples, elms. birches, ashes,
sycamores. cottonwoods, poplars
and the Eastwood expand their
spheres Of influence on the wings
of the winds; and their "heavler
than air" devices are often COM
pick and always well adapted
to that end.
Birds are the motlvators of
our wild cherry trees and cedars,
beside innumerable fruit-yieldlng
shrubs and vines. The life of the

ponds wholly upon its feathered

GROWTH OF STRAWBERRY
INDUSTRY is DUE TO THE
INTELLIGENT MARKETING

Within six years Louisiana has TAX
en- first place among the States as re-
CARDS value of strawberry production
The 1921 season was the best ever
known in the industry, 400 carloads
Of Louisiana berries being marketed in
"a cities in the United States and in
Canada. In Chicago "a pint crates
brought as much as $3.50 each, and
during practically the entire market
ing season Louisiana strawberries sold
at higher price than any other ber-
ries on the market, due to the high
quality of the product.
With such a record of achievement,
much interest centers in the opening of
the 1922 marketing season. AS here
totore, field station of the United
States Department of Agriculture will
be maintained in the Hammond dis
trlct during the season to keep produc-
ers and shippers informed daily of
strawberry marketing conditions in the
principle consuming markets, prevail
ing prices, carlot shipments from COM
peting areas, and other marketing da-
ia essential in the scientific marketing
OF agricultural products, and, granted
favorable conditions, the 1922 season
should surpass even the 1921 record.
lhe Louisiana strawberry industry
is of national importance. The crop

lot shipments spreading out like a fan

WORK FOR WORLD PEACE

By unanimous vote of the 40 ma.
tional organizations composing it, the
National Council for Reduction of Ar
maments, formed at the opening of the
Washington Conference, is to continue
its work indefinitely.
Recognizing that with the work OF
the Conference ended, whatever is done
for the cause of world peace in this
country must be done by Congress, the
National Council has appointed leg
islation committee to study anil report
on all measures before Congress from
the point of view of their influence for
or against war. The Council is advo-
eating a prompt ratification of the
Conference treaties, that Congress cut
the army and navy appropriations. In
its last bulletin the Council asks these
questions:
will Congress cut the appropria-
tions for the army and navy and thus
prove in concrete and undeniable form
the sincerity of our motives in calling
the Conference as well as our convlc-
ton that it has been a success? Vague
alarms as to what might conceivabIy
happen are not sufficient justification
for an expenditure of more than $780,
100000 this year. A survey of world
conditions shows no reasonable likeIi-
hood of war within the period covered
by the Naval Holiday. Then Why
should we spend money in such huge
sums in preparation for war which
will not come off? Are we not cramp-
ing the really useful departments of
the government in order to make this
unnecessary sacrifice to the great god
Mars?"
The removal of the manufacture of
all war munitions from private control
is advocated by the Council as a prac-
tical next step" which could be taken
by the legislative bodies of the various
nations following up the work of the
Conference, The private manufacture
of munitions has been condemned by
the League of Nations as a menace to
world peace.

FUR PRODUCING AREAS
CREATED BY THE SAW

Much mental effort has been expend-
ed in recent years in the solution of
the problem of the use of cut over
lands in the South An experienced
trapper, who knows every rod of
ground in the territory north and west
of Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain
at recent visit to the Conservation
Department, declared that nature had
settled that problem in the section
with which he is acquainted. The cut
ting of timber in the bottoms and
swampy sections surrounding these
two lakes, he says, is becoming pro
ductive at once by reason of the occu-
PATTON of the denuded land by r-bear-
ing animals. When the trees are cut
there Immediately springs UP a dense
underground that makes an ideal resi-
dence for coon, mink, otter and other
wild creatures that afford rich returns
to the trappers of the section. The
Importance of this occupation can be
seen when it is stated that one trapper
this last seaSon made $500 net in the
three months of trapping. This sum
was reaped without the investment of
any capital except about 800 expended
for traps and bait. The merchant TO
whom the trapper sold the fur did not
clear this much, despite the fact that
he had everything he possessed invest
ed in his business.
This trapper said this cut over land
was making as profitable returns as it
would make had it, by vast expendi-
ture of labor and capital, been fully
cleared and prepared for the plow.

TRAPPERs WARMED TO
TAKE IN THEIR TRAPS.

Now that the trapping season Is
closed, the Conservation Department
Of Louisiana has issued warning to
trappers that they must take up the
traps in the runs and store them
against the opening Of the next sea-
son, beginning November /. Those
who wish to observe the law can have
no purpose in leaving traps in the runs
for they have no right to catch fur
bearing animals now, and the leaving
out of traps may cause other trapperS
to believe they are flagrantly and In
tentionally violating the law.
When the trapping law was enacted
those engaged in the business looked
askance at its provisions, and resented
any interference by the State with
what they regarded as their immemo-
rial right to take wild creatures at their
pleasure. But each season has brought
conversions, until now tn ere are few
intelligent trappers in the State who
do not recognize that the law Is as
much in their interest as it is in the
interest of the community at large.
Under the restriction of time they get
better fur and hence better prices, and
uave found that by giving the animals
a chance to breed and rear their young
they can secure more high grade fur
in a season than they formerly could
take of low-grade fur. Indeed, in some
sections petitions are being circulated
among trappers asking that the season
begin November. 15, or as late as De-
cember 1, instead of November l,
Conservationists may differ as to
the advisabiIity Of the change, but
there is unanimity Of opinion that
the law as it stands, if generally en-
forced, will ensure a perpetuity of the
fur supply. And the law is being more
and more generally observed, because
trappers have come to see the advant-
age to themselves of its enforcement,
and are lending assistance to the Con-
servation in checking up violations.

SAYS THIS STATE
is LAGGING BEHIND

Diversity in agricultural production,
by irrigation and reclamation, is the
key to development and stabilized pros
perity in the South. 1t is not a ques-
ton of tariff. shipping. or federal re-
discount rates. This opinion was ex-
pressed by Alden Anderson. distinguish
ed California financier and egricuItur-
ist, who was guest of prominent New
Orleans men last week.
The former ieutenant-governor of
California, and former member of the
board of governors of the Twelfth fed
eral reserve bank district, is positive in
his diagnosis of current business ills.
California. he says. has not felt bus
iness depression to any considerable
extent, owing to diversity of products,
and this, he adds, will stabilize the
commerce of any community when the
winds of adversely blow.
1T must be remembered" said Mr..
Anderson" that we have just conclud-
ed the most destructive war in the
worlds history. The wonder of it is
that the period of readjustment through
which we are now passing has not been
longer anil more arduous.
New Orleans has gone ahead won
derfully since was here last. and we
all expect, with the readjustment Of the
shipping conditions, that New Orleans
will become one Of the big cities Of
the country. But do not believe that
the most has been made of the agri-
cultural development back of this city.
The South has the soil, the climate, the
water. The remainder is merely mat
ter of irrigation, reclamation, a little
work and little money. do not
mean to disparage what has been done,
| do feel that enough has not yet been
done to make the most of the oppor-
tunities here.

THOROUGH INSPECTION
OF. THE OYSTER BEDS

Recently because of the appearance
of few cases of typhoid fever, there
was some hysteEical talk about the
danger of eating raw oysters, despite
the fact that the Louisiana oyster is
bedded far from any source of typhoid
Infection. Nearly a decade ago the
scientists of the Federal government
in a widely distributed pamphlet de-
clared that because of the situation of
the oyster grounds in a section remote
from any centre of population, the
Louisiana oyster was and would re-
main less subject to infection than the
oysters from any other section of the
country. The oyster beds are not only
distant from any considerable popula-
tion, but because of the marsh along
the Gulf coast will always be so iso-
lated, or at least for many generations
TO come.
In addition TO this natural protec-
tion of the source OF supply the Con-
servation Department of the State has
for years made periodic inspections of
the oyster beds in relation to possible
infections and has increasingly inspect
ed the fishing boats and the fisher
men who are engaged in the trade. It
is certain that there could be no infec-
t1on OF the Louisiana oyster until after
the bivalve passed into the hands of
the retail dealer. At that period the
authority of the Conservation Depart
ment ceases, and the matter of protec-
ton of the public devolves on the
health authorities.
In the next inspection of the oyster
beds, the State Board of Health will
cooperate with the Conservation De-
partment, and thorough biological
and chemical examination of the oys-
ters and the waters surrounding them
will be made The Conservation De-
partment will supply one of its best
boats for the work, and working lab.
oratOry will be put aboard, with the
State chemist in charge, while agents
of the department will send along ex-
perts and practical oyster men to aid
in the Investigations. The State
Health Board has already declared the
oyster to be free from infection, bat
the present investigation comes a& q
good time to set doubts at rest.

DEMOCRAT GIVES NEWS OF
WORLD S GREATEST CAPITAL
Washington Is a Place Of Continual
and Growing Interest Among
Our Readers

The City Of Washington, the capital
Of the United States, since it was first
planned in 1871 by Pierre Charles
L'Infant, French engineer who serv-
ed in The Revolutionary War, has
maintained steady growth as beau
tiful city. but a more important devel-
opment as center Of world influence
and affairs.
Every American who has not done
50 should visit Washington. 1t is a pa
triotic duty. Where not possible to
make personal acquaintance with this
most famous capital, however, read
ing will afford more or less familiarity
with the city, its institutions and its
personages.
In line with this idea, The Democrat
publishes each week an interesting de-
partment pertaining to Washington
and its affairs which gives information
not usually contained in the telegraph
ic news Of the day. 1t will we'll repay

NEW ROAD WILL
BE COMPLETED JUNE 1ST

The new road has about seen the
last Of its sound slumber; already the
gangs of men are busy getting it in
shape for use. But there are so many
obstacles that the contractors are up
against that it makes for delay. The
continuous rains during the past month
have hindered every effort, anil now
the scarcity of help has come. There
are laborers wanted on this job right
now. Wages are $l.75 and $500 a
day, and until they get enough help
the work cannot progress as fast as
is desired.
Then, again, there is the delay in
the delivery of sufficient gravel and
sand. With these difficulties over
come there is every indication that the
road will be finished on times which
is June |, 1922.
The west road will be completed in
side of 80 days, then work will be
started on the south road, This road
which has been missed so much by the
travelling public can be put in shape
for traffic inside of 20 days, and will
be completed April lst (no fooling).
Bridges are the great problem of all
road building, and the bridges that are
along the new road will be substantial
ones. This will consume the remainder
of the time until all the road is accept
ed.
Vernon Parish is coming in line for
many new roads, anil it is quite appar-
ent that all Louisiana is alert and TAX
ing due advantage of the State and
Federal aid that is being offered while
the iron is hot.
1t is one thing to burden the parish
with new roads when we have the bill
to pay; but when we have the assist
ance that now comes to us for the ask
ing, wherein we don't have to bear
all the expenses-well, that's another
matter. So far the State has aided to
the extent of $l75.000 and the Feder-
al Government $4,000. Il
Ward E of Vernon Parish has voted
to call a meeting to consider bond
issue to build new roads.
Then we shall have five main arter-
les within the Parish; one road will
run from Alexandria to the Texas line,
and in the Parish we shall have a road
that will run north and south to the
parish line. and another from LeesviIIe
to Matt.

/ EGGS AND LEESVILLE

Sometimes we wonder and wonder.
And then, again, we wonder why we
wonder at anything these times. Here
we have town that imports 100 doz-
en- eggs weekly from other points. And
these eggs are sold as fresh eggs to the
trade. Perhaps they are fresh; but
the point is that the money goes away
from Leesville.
If We are an agricultural people, and
we think we should be so classed, why
cant we raise eggs enough here with
out going away from LeesviIIe for our
supply? That's the question. We
know of no better place for the chick
en- and egg business than right here;
yet we are compelled to send our mon
ey to some far-off town or city to get
the eggs we want. But here is an
other story.
S. Spiller, who lives little way out,
was in town with goodIy supply Of
eggs to sell. Did he sell themp Well,
we think not. He told Democrat re-
porter that he had been to all the stores
m town and offered his eggs, but had
been unable to find buyer. They
were all fresh eggs, and the price was
4Oc dozen. So you see there is a
real reason why people don't raise
chickens and eggs in Leesville.
