The State Of Alabama contemplates

John H. Wallace, Jr., Commissioner Of
Conservation of Alabama, was recent
visitor at the offices Of the Conserva.
Mon Department in New Orleans on
his way to inspect the grounds at the
Pass. He said the work OF conserva.

work, and Is beginning to take an &C.

Commissioner Alexander, Of Lou1si.
ana, said Mr.. Wallace, was a .recog.
ndzed authority on the workssof cOn.
servation throughout the country, and
his opinions and ideas were held in
high esteem by the Federal authorities
and leading conservationists every.
where. He had done a splendid work
for Louisiana, and under his guidance
that State had become a leader Of tha
work in the Union. Mr.. Alexander
had, said Mr.. Wallace, by the combin. |
ed knowledge Of the resources of thal
State and OF human nature, brought
his work up to remarkable state Of
efficiency, and the hOnors which had
been heaped upon him by national or.
ganizations, OF which he was a mem
Der by virtue Of his office, was the
best evidence Of the esteem In which
he was held throughout the United
States. It was the intimate knowledge
possessed by the Louisdana commits

in the forefront of the commonwealths

LOUISIANA BULLEROGS
INTRODUCED IN JAPAN

DR.. Usaburo Kawano Of the Imperial
University of Japan, will be in Louisi-
and within the next week or two to
study the Louisiana bullfrog in his ma
tive habitat. The Japanese are great
lovers Of frogs, but the Japanese edible
frog is small creature about the size
Of the Southern spring frog. Three
years ago the government determined
to introduce into the island a frog OF
larger size and after investigation de-
termined that the Louisiana frog, be-
cause Of it's extraordinary size and
other qualities, was the best for the
purpose. The Southern Biological Co.,
of New Orleans, shipped two dozen to
Japan three years ago, and one pair of
these arrived in such healthy condition
that they bred the first year, and the
Japanese government determined to
continue the experiment until the frog
was fully established In the empire.
Another shipment was made, but tha
Japanese scientists of the university
reached the conclusion that they re-
quired more definite knowledge Of the
habits, and especially OF the food, OF
the frogs, and hence determined to
send one Of their number to Louisiana
to study the frog in the swamps.
DR.. Kawano will receive the neces-
sary assistance from the Conservation
Department, and after completing his
investigation will return to Japan, taxi
ing with him fifty pairs OF frogs It Is
believed that under his personal SUI
perv.,scn the frogs will have better
chance of survival from the long voy.
age, and that from these hundred frogs
will be bred sufficient number, un-
der the careful attention OF the Unver.
sity officials, to fully establish the spe-
| cies in the ponds Of the islands. As
the Louisiana frog is from fifteen to
twenty times the size Of the Japanese,
the Importance Of the venture is OBJ.
.vious.
