Veterinarians from the State Livestock Sanitary Board and th U. S.

Agricultural Research Service are in a position to give free service for vaccinating these heifer calves for control of Bangs' disease. This service Is available and should be used to the fullest extent, says the agent. Young heifers kept on the farm as replacements need better feed than the older cows In the breeding herd Lush winter pastures should be utilized to the fullest extent and during the winter months small amount of grain plus some good grass or legume hay should be fed. A good grain mixture to use oats or ground corn, cob and shuck meal, supplemented with 12 per cent cottonseed meal. This extra pasture and feed will pay big dividends in growing out the heif 4K i hpfnr.

ihpv1 ers -1-- I are bred, asserts the agent. "From the 1957 calf crop, all( farmers and cattlemen should save a i Crop Loans The entire Northeast Louisiana area has been declared eligible for the making of federal emergency crop production loans for 1958, Congressman Otto Passman has announced to. the Richland Beacon- News, following receipt from Wash ington of special Information to that effect. The type of emergency loans for which the Congressman has been able to gain approval, following major agricultural losses throughout the area this year as the result of extremely heavy rainfall during the harvesting season, will provide low interest production credit through the Farmers Home Administration of the U. S.

De- partment of Agriculture Congressman Passman said he luuiuiuiiig eiiuns ivwaru ooiainmg permission for use of as much as 20 nor int nf tha tntnl nmntmt nf nun for thn nnvmnf nf "iiroront obligations. But I do not want to create unfounded expecU. Hons about this," he added, "for, fl1thmrh am rnntlnnlna for tne the generaI and purpose of these loans will be to provide emergency credit for next year crop production." He expressed the hope that police juries in all the parishes of the Fifth District will take steps to bring about certification for distribution of available federal surplus commodities to needy Individuals and families. "I plead that those of us who are more fortunate should snot forget," he said, "that there are those among us who are in dire and it is vitally important that the commodities which are available should be distributed to them." The procedure for obtaining surplus commodities in a parish is for the police jury first to certify the need and make the request to the State Department of Publio Welfare, which then determines the eligibility to receive the foodstuff of needy individuals and families who apply for it. Practically all the 14 parishes In the Fifth District have already taken steps to put the commodity-distribution program into effect, as measure to help alleviate suffering among the needy.

Congressman Passman also reviewed the importance of strong Farm Bureau membership in par ish, state and national organizations. Effective organization of farmers is necessary he said, if agriculture Is to gain "the treatment to which it Is entitled" from the standpoint of. national legislation "and In other economic and governmental considerations. Illustrating the "weak position" of agriculture, he said that In 1947, the "peak year of farm prosperity," the income of the farmer was 50 per cent below that of his counterpart In industry."

Louisiana Farm Lands Rise In Value Values of farm lands In Louisiana rose nine per cent during the year ending July 1 as compared to the nationwide Increase of eight per Cent during the same period, according to Basil Doles, county agent. Farm sales continued generally low, the U.

S. Department of Agriculture quarterly report on the farm real estate market indicates, With increased sales only in the Lake states, the Southeast and the Delta states. W. D. Curtis, agricultural economist of the Agricultural Extension Service, says that generally favprable crop prospects in mid-1957 and continuing pressures to enlarge existing farms were considered dominant forces in strengthening farm values.

Other factors, he points out, were continued high level of business activity, a alowly-rising general price level, and need for space for an expanding economy. Increases in value were lowest in states most severely affected by drought during 1956. Increases in the8e tates ranged from one to lour per cent, onarpesi increaseo were seen in Florida, 17 per cent; New Jersey, 12 per cent; and Delaware and Rhode Island, 11 per cent each. 0 Holly Ridge Baptist Church Rev.

BUCK a is Register of Land Office, 57, Veteran of State Politics BATON ROUGE, Dec. 22 Lucille May Grace, Louisiana' first lady of politics, died today at her home.

Death rnnifl peacefully at 12:40 p. m. for the 57-year-old register of the State I.and Office, who had been critically ill for almost two months. Miss Grace, Mrs. Fred Dent in private life, Mas a fixture at the State Land Office from 1908, when as a little girl she played in her father's office in the old state capltol.

Except for a four-year gap when she was defeated for governor either Miss Grace Or her father served as register for almost DO years. She was the first woman ever to hold statewide office In Louis iana and the first to be a candidate for governor. Funeral services were held at 2 p. m. Monday at the Welsh Funeral Home, with burial in Plaque-mine.

I-oved Politics Miss Grace successfully combined politics and a family, but frankly admitted politics was her first love. Even In hef last illness, she maintained a keen Interest In affairs at the state capltol. npnds remember her as a warm, gracious person who would; go out or ner way to do a favor or remember a child's birthday even when seriously ill herself. After 21 years as register, she stepped out in 1952 to become the first woman to run for governor. As a vote-getter, she had few peers.

MLss Luoille- as she was called by friend and foe alike-Inherited hor father's knack of making friends and perfected the politician's memory for names and faces. In every campaign since 1932, any country storekeeper might look up and see a tall. well-Eroom- a lady, smiling and with a ready handshake. "I'm Lucille May Orace, register of the State Land Office," a husky voice would aay. "I'm up for re election this year, you know, and I'd appreciate your vote." Effective Speaker That was a large part of her campaigning.

But Bhe also was an effective speaker who could ride the stump circuit with Huey Long or Gov. Earl Long and not suffer badly by comparison. Miss Grace was born Oct. 3, 1900, at Plaquemine, eldest of four children. She attended a one-room school at Union Plantation in Iberville Parish, St.

Joseph's Convent in Baton Rouge, the Sacred Heart Convent at Grand Coteau and received a bachelor of arts degree from Louisiana State University in 1920. In 1908 "Papa" Grace defeated Incumbent James A. Crandall and began a 45-year-old period of combined services as register for father nnd daughter, broken only by the 1952 56 period after Miss Gracfe was defeated for governor. Old timers in the land office remember a sparkling-eyed, black-halred little girl who used to play games with her younger sister in their father's office. Miss Grace went to work part time in the land office in 1917 while attending I.SU.

After graduation, she became a clerk in the office. She was her father's chief assistant and helped with the campaigning as he won six successive terms in tho office. After her father's death, Miss Grace's appointment was a natural step. Her father and Huey Long were good friends and the appointment kept the name "Grace" associated with the Long administration. RcAdy to Quit At one point during that first campaign, she said 6he" was ready to quit.

"You're going to lead the ticket," Huey Long told her. When the votes were counted, Miss Grace led former Gov. O. K. Allen by some 25,000 votes.

Miss Grace was re-elected to office four times. Although a mem- i HAS CANCER OF THE LUNG TAIPEI, Formosa, Dec. 23 Claire L. Chennault, leader of the famous Flying Tigers of World War II, said today he has lung cancer and no operation can cure him. The 67-year-old retired major general looked tired and haggard as he discussed his condition frankly at a news conference.

He puffed on a pipe, coughed oc casionally and spoke just above a whisper. He blamed this on a cold. Chennault said the cancer was discovered in physical checkup In the United States in August, 1955. He had a tumor removed from his left lung but he asid the malignancy developed again. He is chairman of the board of Civil Air Transport which he founded in Shanghai 11' years ago.

The company moved to Formosa after the Communists conquered the mainland In 1949. Chennault came to Formosa Dec. i 13 on company business. He plans to return to the United States, Jan. 10.

Chennault organized the Flying Tigers, a group of Americans, to help Chiang Kai-shek's forces fight the Japanese before Pearl Harbor. They flew the old P40 fighter plane with a ferocious looking tiger- shark's head painted on the nose. After the United States entered the war, the Tigers were absorbed into the U. S. 14th Air Force.

Chennault became the com mander with headquarters at Kun- in southwest China Ho toU tne conference he tried to organze a similar flying group In 1954 to fight the Communists but said the U. S. government decided it was not wise to have such an organization as it might provoke the Communists into all-out war, But he said he thinks the United States still should sponsor such a group because it would deter the Communists from starting small-scale wars. v4 ma it iu nnc, is hv." oompanled by his Chinese wife, a i i Shanghai In 1947.

P'm- tf. a is NEW ORLEANS- An important new drug which will destroy four of the major human Intestinal parasites and effectively Attack the fifth ham been tested successfully In 400 patients by scientists at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, It was announced. Clinical research on dithiazantne, the first effective broad spectrum anthelmintic, was reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. J.

C. Swartz-w elder, professor of parasitology, and Dr. William W. Frye, dean and professor of tropical medicine at LSU, and their associates. The new drug is so simple to administer and so effective and non toxic that it may be used for mass therapy In heavily infected populations such as institutions, as soon as it is available in quantity, Dr.

Swartzwelder said. The four parasites destroyed include trichurls trlchiura, common ly known as "whipworm," strongyloses stercoralls, ascarls lumbrl-coidea, or "large roundworm," and enterobius vermicularis, or "pin-worm." The fifth, "hookworm," is also attacked by dithlazanine very successfully in many cases. While other drugs have been used against two of the parasites, ascarls and enterobius, dithlazanine Is the first effective oral therapy capable of eliminating all four, the scientists reported. The new drug has been life saving in the cure of severe whipworm dysentery. Dr.

Swartzwelder pointed out that many people in the world are infected by more than one of these five particular parasites and estimated that there are over one and a half billion infections 1 against which the new drug is active. Dithlazanine is the first effective oral treatment against whipworm and strongyloses, two parasites which affect over 350 million persons, he added. During clinical Investigation, over 400 patients Were successfully young children. Some of the treat ed Individuals were old and de bilitated, Some suffered from complies-! tiona such as anemia, malnutrition, I cardiac disease, nephrosis and preenancy which did not influence the tolerance of the drug. The only reactions to therapy which were observed were vomiting and diarrhea.

Vomiting occurred occasionally and usually was limited to a single episode during a course of treatment. Diarrhea occurred very infrequently. The drug is a blue chemical in specially-coated white tablet. It administered orally and the course of treatment averages five days. It will be marketed by the Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis.

The powerful action of ditha-zanine against same intestinal parasites in dogs, cats, and mice was discovered in the parasitology laboratory of the Ell Lily Company lby Max C. McCowen, Ph.D., M. E. Callender, M. and M.

C. Brandt, M. and the drug sent to the medical school for clinical testing. While parasitic infections are a sections of the United States, they are of particular importance In the tropical and sub-tropical countries, Dr. Frye said.

The Bears met the Broncos from Zachary, at Memorial Stadium in Baton Rouge, where the Delhi lads showed their championship calibre throughout the match.

The game completed a gruelling season for the Bears, and earned for them their fifth Class State Championship under guidance of Coach Raymond R. Richards. It Is reported that this will probably be the last year Delhi will be classed In the conference, as It is thought the school has grfwn to Class A size for the coming year. lsThe Bear- BnouJ contend era in Class A' also, as is evidenced by their record this year.

The half ended -6, but Delhi got the lead by a louchdown in the third quarter, and sewed up the game with two more In the fourth period. Delhi's star back, Bobby Leach, counted for two tallies and kicked for an extra point, while the whole team displayed outstanding playing.

Leach made the first touchdown -when he barged over from the one yard line, early in the game. However, the Bronco team bounced back, driving down the field, collecting six points when their' star end, Wallace Waddell. caught a thirty yard pass from Vic telly. That ended scoring for the first half. In the third quarter Clyde Itosea pushed over from the three yard line, and Leach followed with a good boot for extra, point.

In the final period Nicky Smith recovered a Zachary fumble to give Delhi possession on the Zachary four, and Leach carried the -ball into the end zone two plays later. Final tally of the game was made by Billy Ray Newton, who made a beautiful reverse play to reach the end zone. Large Payments Under Soil Bank Program Listed The Agriculture Department made public this week a list of 67 producers who have been paid more than $50,000 each for participating in its soil bank acreage reserve program In 1957.
