He died during the night from natural causes. cutting stands and planting were stressed on the agenda of the third annual forestry tour in Vernon parish Wednesday. Three hundred people, with many prominent forestry offi -cials from throughout the state, observed the tour.

The caravan started from the courthouse in Leesvile at 9 a. m. and continued throughout the day with showings of and other forestry demonstrations and ended with a barbecue at Camp Vernon. L. L.

Bishop, executive secretary of the Texas Forestry Association, guest speaker at the occasion, said that if all the forest lands in Vernon parish were in full production, it could supply all the pulp. for the largest paper mill in existence. He also pointed out that the labor gets the biggest percentage of the forestry "If the federal government would use our surpluses in cotton, rice, wheat and potatoes, the average American farmer would have one third more agtment of growing pullets, including feeding and parasite and disease control. Young chickens were exhibited showing the effects of coxci-diosis, range paralysis, round worms and body lice. The talk by Miss Jones also included procedures in the culling of flocks and replacing of old hens with young pullets.

Davis last year was with the Bossier City high school. year previous he was basketball coach and assistant football coach at Winnfield, in 1947-48 he was named head coach at Arcadia high school after having served one year as assistant coach at the same school.

Highly recommended as a basketball coach, Davis a right of newspapers alone, he said. "It is the right of the American people. The fight for it is the fight and must be waged by them if our freedoms of press, speech, religion and assemblage are to be main tained. "This effort of a state Senate committee to jail the editor and publisher of a New Orleans newspaper because of properly pub lishable words used in describing the committee as a whole is unprecedented in Louisiana. "Even Huey Long, in his days of greatest power and fullest control over the State Legislature in the days of his greatest hatred for the larger newspapers of Louisiana never attempted such a step as the Senate committee of today has taken," he said.

He said Huey Long gave the state "many improvements but we are still paying the cost in public debt and high taxes. "His political philosophy," Lafargue said, "left a society of kill any dangerous or vicious dog, or any dog permitted to run at large after the owner or keeper shall have received written notice not to permit the dog to run at large, if the dog be off the premises and out of the control of its owner or keeper." secured from J.

He said farmers are being forced to sell their rice at auction and far below loan value. Stressing that Louisiana has the highest state taxes in the nation, he said that the "Long administration says it is interested in the poor people, but let me tell you that their only interest in the poor people is to keep them poor through higher and higher taxes." Huey Long, he said, never placed taxes on the poor, "yet they (the present Long regime) claim to be carrying on tht assist you in your forestry problems," said Bishop. A.
