Farm and Garden Notes 
The annual meeting of the Virginia 
State Horticultural Society will be held 
in the Murphy Hotel, Richmond, Va., 
January 10, li and 12, 1922. 
Bagasse, the sugar- cane stalk from 
which the juice has been extracted, is 
being made into building material by a 
manufacturing company at Marrero, La., 
across the Mississippi River from New 
Orleans. It is said to be virtually a sub¬ 
stitute for lumber. The product is being 
manufactured in boards 12 feet wide and 
S00 feet long. #ne board containing 
enough material to build three bunga¬ 
lows. Strips are later cut into required 
dimensions. 
Fourteen hundred head of sheep were 
burned to death September 11 when 
lightning struck a stock barn on the 
E. G. Stephens farm, near Muncie, 
Ill. Three thousand head of sheep were 
in the barn, but volunteers succeeded in 
herding 1,600 of the animals to safety. 
The loss will total more than $40,000. 
In anticipation of the probable closing 
of United States markets to Canadian 
cattle, the United Grain Growers, Ltd., 
have declared that it will be necessary to 
organize an “export cattle company,” it 
was announced at Winnipeg September 
13. It is proposed to conduct co-opera¬ 
tive shipping as a department of the com¬ 
pany’s live stock business this Fall. The 
cattle will be handled by the company for 
the shippers on a pool basis. The plan 
which has been tentatively worked out is 
very much like that employed by the 
Canadian Wheat Board in handling the 
1919 crop. 
After 19 years of expensive and labor¬ 
ious effort, with only varying success, in¬ 
terested shipping interests and govern¬ 
ment experts now express the belief that 
a method has been found that will solve 
the problem of the water hyacinth that 
is choking practically every bayou in 
Louisiana. The new method, which was 
suggested by Governor John M. Parker, 
is the simple application of live steam. 
Preliminary reports from experiments 
now under way, according to government 
agents, indicate that the Governor has at 
least pointed a way to check, if not ex¬ 
terminate the plant that has proved such 
a menace to Louisiana’s inland water¬ 
ways for the last 20 years and which, 
according to government observers, is now 
threatening the fresh water portion of 
the Panama Canal. The water hyacinth 
appeared in Louisiana immediately after 
the Cotton Centennial Exposition here in 
18S4. The plant, which, is a native of 
South America, was exhibited at the 
fair, and its beauty was greatly admired. 
At the close of the fair a number of 
plants were taken to the country dis¬ 
tricts for growth in garden pools. When 
they overcrowded the pools they were 
thrown into nearby bayous, where they 
caused heavy losses by choking the bay¬ 
ous and streams to such an extent that 
small vessels could not make their way 
through the tangled masses of foliage and 
roots, which at places, extended for miles, 
with no break of channel through them.
