Forest Fires Strike Small Landowners in 1956 Report
Louisiana forester James E. Mixon released an annual report showing nearly half of state forest fires in 1956 burned small landowners. The statewide total exceeded 7,000 fires, with more than 3,200 on small holdings and 730,000 acres lost. Arson cases rose, with seven arsonists jailed and five negligent arsonists sentenced. Firefighting units and owner cooperation helped keep average losses low, yet enforcement continues amid public sentiment against arson.

Hico Senior Home Demonstration Club Meets at Jim Fosser Home
The Hico Senior Home Demonstration Club gathered at Jim Fosser’s home with 10 members and one visitor. A speaker from forest enforcement discussed investigations and arrests, while nursery superintendents worked to meet seedling demand. The Commission produced 45 million pine seedlings and supplied seed for landowners to direct seed, with orders exceeding supply by over 25 million seedlings. Reforestation is booming and demand for trees grows yearly, Mixon noted, urging early seedling orders to avoid rationing. Forest management aid reached 200 small landowners across about 24,000 acres in the past year.

Two tropical storms struck the U.S. mainland in 1956
The year saw two hurricanes reach the mainland, Hurricane Flossy and an unnamed Gulf storm that hit the Louisiana coast in June. Neither was rated as severe, and the question notes one lacks a name. The second query confirms Ash Wednesday ashes come from burned Palm Sunday palms.
