TRUE coNsERvATioNIsr
IN THE sWAMPs

The growth Of the conservation
sentiment In Louisiana within the
past few years was demonstrated dur
ing the high water In tho Atchafalaya
district by an incident that took
place at the Jeannerette Lumber and
Single company's plant on Bayou
Long. Water covered tho swamps to
a depth Of from six to seven feet,
and it was necessary to transfer ali
the live stock OF the lumber camp to
a dyke which had been thrown up
along the hanks of a large canal
built for the use Of thu mill. Seven
deer and three bears took refuge OF.
this dyke to escape the overflow and
mixed with the cattle and hogs. Th.,
deer became quite tame and fed with
stock, eating from boxes provided
~ them by Capt. E. T. Forgey, log
q. superintendent Of the company.
Here wss offered an opportunity
for the pot hunter rarely met with.
and some years ago this wild life
would inevitably have been slaugh-
tered by persons who confuse slaugh-
ter with sport. But Capt. Forgey
could not have been more attentive
to the marooned animal1 il he had
been an agent Of the Conservation
Department.

URGES NECESSITY
OF REFoREsrATioh

The practice of forestry is the
greatest need of the State at this
time, declared Commissioner M. l..
Alexander, of the Louisiana Depart
ment of Conservation at meeting
of the Young Mems Business Club OF
New Orleans. Mr.. Alexander showed
that IL per cent OF the assessed val
mes of the State were represented
by the lumber business, and he added
that within ten years time the State
would have few large sawmills unless
reforestation was practiced. In the
four decades in which lumbermen
have been active in Louisiana 10000
900 acres OF virgin forest land have
been denuded, and there remain
about 100000 acres of these lands
remaining with the virgin growth
upon them. The Iumbermen Of the
State can make their business per-
manent one by reforesting the lands
they denude, and a permanent source
Of lumber supply will be assured, and
employment remain for the many
thousand persons who now make a
livelihood from that business.
Mr.. Alexander dwelt on the danger
70 the forests from fires and ex-
planned what the Conservation De.
partment was doing for their protec-
'tion. He urged that assistance be
rendered the rangers and other en-
ployses of the department by the
people throughout the State in their
efforts to prevent fires and to put
them out once they were started. The
lecture was accompanied by an ex.
hibition of the moving pictures of the
natural resources Of the State. which
have been made for the use of the
department. These pictures comprise
one OF the finest educational series
ever filmed, representing the activ'
fties In the oil. gas and forest indus
tries, together with remarkable pic
lures OF the wild life OF the State In
the air, In the water and on the land.
