St. Tammany Farmer
^D. H. iIASON, Editor .Propr.r
THE WATER L . 8 L
The 'last Quarterly Bulletin of the Louisiana State Board of Health con
tains some very interesting information and advice and some statistics that
will make any one put on h'is thinking cap, unless his "brains are dead."
One article would hardly give a review of all the important tb~lng consid
ered, but there are some things that St. Tammany people should be special
ly interested in.
There is such an abundance of wells and springs in St. Tammany parish,
and~ley are almost without exception so crystal white and sparkling that
-4ld never be imagined that danger lurked in any of them. An an
alysis of a large number of these wells, however, show that shallow wells
ere not to be trusted without an analysis to detect the dangers that can
not 'be seen by the eye. None of the deep wells analyzed were aound to be
unsafe, but one well seventy-five feetdeep, whidh one would imagine was
deep enough, was branded with the "unsafe" mark.
At Abita Springs the Spring and three deep wells were found safe; at
Bush, a shallow well, marked "private and N. O. G. N.," unasafe, ibtt an
other well, eafe; Camp Hygela, flowing well camp supply, safe; Covington
driven well, city, G. N. and Y. and I1. V., safe; deep well, 435 test, 'hotel,

ensafe; Tallaheek, well 16 feet, Pitcher pump, doubtful; spring, sfe;
well 25 feet, school supply; safe; deep well, Ozone Lumber Company, safe;
shallow well, public, store, safe.
It is to be regretted that the wells found unsafe are not so designated
as to tell where they are situated', but 'it is a matter for congratulation that
so few we'lls 'hve been found to be con~tamin~ted, and that all these wells
are shallow. The greatest danger to 'be overcome is the tendency of peo
ple-who 'have for many years been drinking from shallow wells, and pome
of them, perhaps, from the very wells that have been found unsafe, to re
fuse to believe that there is lurking danger, becauie they have escaped,
thus far, any hurtful results. These are things that must be overcome 'by
education, just as the belief in the danger from the maquito is almost a
thing of the past.

Columbia City, Ind., after a struggle
of two hous and' forty-dive minutes,
and the otheer to John Kolonli, the
Greek demon of Manchester, N. H.,
after wrestling one hour and fifty
five minutes, and of course after this
,klhd of a run they seem very certaiu
of the outcome of this match, but of
course time will tell. The match is
to be given for the beneP t of our
Covington Municipal. Band, and the
officers of the band are useing their
every effort to make a grand success
of the pcoasioln. So al we can syay
Is to boost this line of eport and
