Writer Describes Aid Vitamin Cives to Body BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Tress Science Editor PHILADELPHIA, May 15 (JP) Vitamin acts like Popeye's spinach when the vitamin gets into the blood. The white blood ceils take a bite of the and then grab and literally squeeze the life out of disease germs by engulfing them, a natural process known as phagocytosis.

This discovery described today to the Society of American Bacteriologists, possibly explains why physicians have been prescribing vitamin as a preventative of common colds and why surgeons give it before operations to promote faster healing of wounds. The geim-killing experiments, financed by the United States public health service were done at the University of Michigan by Ada May Ames and Dr, W. j. Nungester of the departments of bacteriology. White cells taken from guinea pigs were placed in test tubes containing germs.

When the pigs were deficient in vitamin the white cells were sluggish and only 30 to 35 per cent of them attacked the test tube germs. But after the pigs had been fed adequate vitamin this vitamin appeared inside the white cells and 80 to 90 percent of them grabbed their germs. The cells contaning the vitamin were more rugged and more active. This same quality of rug-gedness has been described by surgeons as appearing in human tissues after a good vitamin diet. The Michigan experiments suggest also a hypothesis that rugged white cells help to stimplate the growth of tissues called fibroblasts Central Louisiana Softball News The Bobcats won their fifth league game when they defeated the Pine Prairie aggregation by a close, 4-2, score.

The Silverstreaks again showed their strength as softballers when they walloped the "Old Men" of Pine Prairie, 13-3. The game high lights saw John Foreman bang out a homer and Roy Allen make some sensational catches. The newly-organized Softball team of Lonepine defeated the hichly-touted club from Center- ville, 23.17, in a free-hitting loose tilt. Going all-out for softball, Lone-pine is now attempting to light their diamond and completion of the work is expected in the near future.

Hamlet, Pollock high school student, has been awarded the $100 first prize in the annual 4-H Club forestry essay contest, officials of the organi-1 zation announced today.

Second place and $75 went to i George Morris of Colfax and I third place and $50 to Dixie i James of Boyce. The Guaranty Bank and Trust Company of Alexandria was the donor of the prizes. "There's been active participation in the essay contest this year, and we feel that it is an excellent thing for young people i in Central Louisiana," J. W. Beasley, president of the bank, said.

"We're pleased with the interest shown, and with the quality of the essays. They indicate that a lot of thought has been put into them, and that the young people of this section of the state are becoming increasingly conscious of the great asset their forests are to them and to their communities," This year's awards marks the end of the second annual contest, which is open to high school students in Rapides and Grant parishes. Judges were E. B. Klock of Chenevville.

'Timber as a Farm Crop' Hamlet's winning essay had as its topic "Timber as a Farm Crop." An outstanding student at Pollock, the author was second place winner last year in the Louisiana hybrid corn contest, and adopted all other 4-H contestants in yield.

He won the area public speaking championship in Future Farmers of America competition this year, and will be one of four contestants to' compete for the state champ ionship. "Men have found substitutes for many things, but they yet have to find one that will take the place of timber," be began. Pioneers made their crude homes from the rough products of the forest; millionairies have made their homes from the finished products of the forest; timber is the backbone of our nation and must be grown as a farm crop." Hamlet brought out two major advantages of timber as a farm crop the small amount of labor required for its care and the wide choice of land, (including much unfitted for row cropping) that will support timber. "We can, and we must, plan and labor and build our forest for tomorrow if we are to have an abundance of timber and lumber The seedlings of today are the trees and savvlogs of tomorrow." he concluded. The second place winner, George Morris, is an A student from Colfax high school.

A star athlete and member of basketball and baseball teams, he plans to study forestry and make it his career. He took as his subject "The Economic Relationship of Timber Resources to the Community. Dixie James, lone Rapidian and only girl in the prize-winning group, is a student of the Boyce high school. She is president of the Boyce 4-H Club, and a member fthe parish executive board. Her subject was "Timber as a National Resource."

The electrocution was carried out under the direction of Sheriff Guy G.

Aycock in the St. Mary parish jail. Mitchell attended by two Catholic priests, went to his death calmly. The current was applied at 12:05 p. m.

and Coroner C. M. Horton pronounced him dead at 12:15. The electrocution is the first use the portable chair since Willie Francis died in the second attempt to electrocute him a week ago at St. Martinville.

In the first trip of Francis to the chair on May 3, 1946 the mechanism failed. Subsequently the 18- ear-old negro's case was taken twice before the United States supreme court in a futile effort to spare his life. Deputy Sheriff Benjamin Blake-man said today that Mitchell declared himself "ready to go." He received communion this morning from a Catholic priest. The records showed that the Walker woman was killed after she had left Mitchell and had been accused of taking some of his money. It Cover of Hairy Vetch Worth $40 an Acre in Cotton BATON ROUGE.

May 16. (JP) After a series of experiments to measure the cash value of a soil-building covtr crop, the Louisiana state University experiment station has assessed a cover of hairy vetch as worth $40 an acre in cotton. Three test plots were used in the experimnet. One was given no nitrogen, another a commercial nitrogen fertilizer. The third was planted in vetch.

The plots without the cover crop yielded 213 pounds and 72G pounds of seed cotton per acre, respectively, nut one on which the natural nitrogen crop had been grown yielded 1,004. I he substitution of hairy vetch on the third plot brought an increase of $118.65 per acre over the crop which got no nitrogen and $42.50 over the plot which got nitrogen," the station reported. The station also has prepared a bulletin on the possibility of a twelve-month grazing program in the paririe rice area of Louisiana. It recommends rotation ot improved pastures of Dallis grass, bermuda grass, white clover and lespedeza with rice as "the surest means for increasing the yields of rice and for improving soil productivity," Supplementary oat and lespedeza pastures are used to complete the year-round grazing period and furnish hay. Farming instincts run deep in Bobby Lowther, Louisiana State University track star.

In addition to his studies and athletics, he finds time to cultivate a half-acre watermelon patch next to his campus hutment. So-called "late blight already is occuring in South Louisiana Irish potatoes, the agricultural extension service reports. Tomatoes also are subject to the injury. Tlie service recommends a dust known as "COCS" At the same time, horticulturist G. L.

Tiebout warned against inidscriminate use of insecticides. Pointing out that bean leavei are especially sensitive to ar scnical burning, he saidarsenie compounds should not be used on plants whose leaves show holes or punctures. Too-early use of insecticides may destroy more beans than would the insects, Tiebout asserted. The extension service said small gardens often could be kept insect free without insecticides merely by hand-picking the in I sects, provided the picking was 1 done early "when they are few in number and before they really get a chance to start running through the multiplication tab-! les.

Brown, Ben A. Pinkard, Frank O'Quinn, Odus Watson and W.

The tests conducted on the place of Dr. D.

V. Donaldson, Dry Prong, for the past seven years has led to tests being conducted in other parts of the state to prove that supposedly waste lands can be made profitable in producing the livestock products which has made the south tributary to the north and west for these daily requirements for many years. These lands were not specially prepared only diesed, limed and fertilized using the native condition so common in all cut-over sections of our state totaling millions of acres heretofore deemed more or less worthless.

Courses for the summer will be offered in the following dc- nartments: Art, Bible, education. health and physical education, home economics, mathematics, modern languages, music, psychology, science, social science and speech. There are several reasons, pointed out Dean Wcthersby, why it is advantageous lor students to attend college during the summer session.

First, it enabies them to complete their work in less than the required four years' time, also, there arc smaller classes, allowing more attention to be offered the individual student, and, finally, better work is accomplished by more students as there are fewer outside activities and dis- tractions found in the regular ses- Larcade Proposes Bill to Give Bonds Back to DcRidder WASHINGTON. May 16. (JP) A congressional subcommittee sought today to determine whether De Ridder, or the Federal Works Agency should pay for needed improvements in the De Ridder sewerage system. Rep. Larcade (D-La) raised the question by proposing legislation to give back to De Ridder $150,000 in bonds held by the works agency as part payment from the city on a 1D41 loan by the agency for sewer construction.

Both agency spokesmen and Larcade told a House public works subcommittee that the original construction had been faulty and mismanaged. Larcade said tiie agency was negligent in not seeing that its loan was properly administered and should be partly responsible for repairs. The agency contended the bill should be pigeonholed because De Ridder was primarily responsible for seeing that construction was done properly. 7 Realty Sales Total 537,050 Seven real estate sales totaling $37,050 were filed Thursday in the records of the parish clerk of court, .1.
