Soil conservation reunion recalls land use evolution in North Louisiana
Jefferson Davis Parish soil conservationist J. P Maxwell spoke at a reunion of Soil Conservation Service men beside a country cemetery. The gathering, old colleagues now in other jobs, recalled the early days of land use in North Louisiana and across the nation, noting the shift from subsistence farming to specialized agriculture and the transformation seen over 25 years. They visited a peach packing shed and observed mechanized sorting, with pine forests and pastures marking the region’s change. The SCS, begun 25 years ago with the Cypress Creek Watershed project, earned credit for convincing people to use land in ways best suited to its resources.

Abnormality as Normal: Psychiatric Trends in Workers and Women
A Jordan publication cites British physician Ivan Clout reporting 44.8 percent of women aged 30 to 40 with psychiatric illness and 24 percent of men 40 to 55. He claims managers show higher illness than wage earners, with 25.6 percent vs 18.9 percent, and notes 6 percent among bachelors versus 18 percent for married men. The conclusion suggests middle aged married men managing affairs face higher strain.
