Iron Ore Used In Louisiana Itoads
Iron ore, found In northwestern
ouislana, has proved of great velue
n road building in thai state and,
n some localities where it has been
used, it has effected a saving
12,000 to $3,000 a mile in the cost
if construction. Highway engineers
n Louisiana have been using the
ore as a binder Instead ol sand clav
i ml have found It far superior to
hat material in many instance;.
During 1922 the Louisiana State
Highwav Department completed 350
niles of new roads. Most of this
nileage consists of gravel. The ro-
nalnder consists of roads built of
(hells, sheet asphalt or bitulithie The
1 923 program includes a larger
imount of asphaltic construction
Iron ore was first used in I)e Solo
narish. La., in 1917. Then a largo
leposit was found northwest of Arca
lia. Ore from this deposit is being
used as a base course on Ihe new
Homer-Monden Highway, the Arca-lia-Natchi'.ochos
Highway, the Rus-on-Arkansas
Highway and the Per
iling Highway. The state pays about
en cents a Mini in royaliies for this
naterial anainst $1 a yard on sand
lay gravel. The saving effected am
MAtl to about $1.50 a yard.
V.'a-h'ngton Is cutting more of its
imber per year than any other state
in the Union. The present annual
-lit is conservatively estimated to be
5 billion board feet. Oregon is second
n the list of states In total annual
iut, with a little over 3 billion board
'eet. The Pacific Coast contains prac
tically one-half of the remaining
standing saw timber of the United
States. Oregon leads all the states
with a total stand of 493 billion
'ioard feet, and California third with
IIS billion.
It is conservatively estimated that
he standing timber of Oregon and
Washington is worth one billion dol
lars, and when converted into lumber
will he worth 15 billion dollars.
Four million acres of timberland
In Oregon and one-third of Wash
ington's original timber area have
'Iready been destroyed by fire, and
Till therefore never aid in the up

The outlook for thesheep industry
especially wool, from an economic
i point, appearsfavorable for a year
or two at least. The number of sheep
on farms, January 1, 1923, was only

O. A. C.
The keeping of bees is an anclen'
branch of agriculture, yet moderi
beekeeping is a new thing. Man
lersons still erroneously think thn
iees work for nothing and boar
hemselves, and that to keep bee
le simply gets some bes and allow
hem to roam where they will, say
he United States department of ag
ri culture. The present day beekeep
ST controls the development of 111
olony population so as to have
'ull force of gathering bees al lb
right time, and then prevents a d
vision of this force by swarming B
hse and other methods he greatl'
increases the amount of honey gat!
ered. The modern skilled beekeep'
finds bees far more productive tha
did bis predecessors because of hi
ability to change conditions and
adapt them io Ihe natural habits o
the bees.
While not all parts of the clove
region are equally god for beekeep
ing, there are few places where it i
not possible to keep bees wilh profi
under proper management, says th
department. Opportunities for bee
keeping in this region, however, an
not utilized as completely as In sonu
other parts of the country, Vas'
areas of the clover region are no'
adequately covered by hoes, and i
many places the methods of beekeep
!ng practiced fail to produce the bes
crops possible.
Beekeeping to be profitable In tin
clover region must be conducted with
great skill, and there are not suffi
clent beekeepers with Ihe rlgh
amount of skill to cover this icrri
tory. A drawback to the adequate
development of the clover region lie
in the fact that Ihere are thousand
of persons owning a few colonic: o
bees who give them Utile or no ai
teniion and who get practically in
honey, and Ihese bees serve to oi
eupy terri'orv, while if they wet
in the hands of good beekeepi i
they might he adding to the nation
honey supply. The spread Of th
brood di'-eases Is serving to chant
this condition, for the number i
persons owning bees In the clovi
region Is decreasing.
