  • Important Things to Remember When Using Forest Herbicides
    Bossier Parish Office Post Office Box 370 Benton, LA 71006-0370 Courthouse, 4th Floor 204 Burt Boulevard (318) 965-2326 Fax: (318) 965-3712 Timber Tales No. 143 News and Ideas for Forest Landowners from Ricky Kilpatrick, Area Forestry Agent 1st Quarter 2013 Important Things to Remember When Using Forest Herbicides Here are a few ideas that may be helpful if you use forest herbicides in your forest management work. 1. It is much safer to bring your water to the site and add it to your spray rig and chemical. Mixing at the water source can contaminate your well water from spillage. Putting a hose in the spray tank can and will often result in back-siphoning of the chemical into the well or water source. If this happens, you have got serious problems! 2. Always keep records of any forest herbicides you apply. This is required by law for any federally registered restricted use pesticides, but it is a good idea to do this for the others also. This is also a good way to keep track of costs for tax purposes. The Extension Service has a Field Diary for Recording the Application of Restricted Use Pesticides. Contact your county agent for a copy. 3. Anytime you apply forest herbicides, you should triple rinse your sprayer after completing the job. The rinsing should be done on the target site also. 4. For more information on spray equipment wastewater disposal, pesticide container disposal or pesticide regulations, contact your county agent. If you are unsure about anything regarding pesticides, be sure and call.

  • Louisiana's Cultural Regions
    Section3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions As you read, look for: • the similarities and differences among Louisiana’s cultural regions, and • vocabulary terms region, upland South, urban, and rural. Visiting the state’s many festivals is one way to study the elements of Louisiana’s culture. A map shows these elements in a different way. The Louisiana Depart- ment of Culture, Recreation and Tourism divides the state into five regions. A region is an area defined by similar features. Physical regions include common climate and landforms. Cultural regions include similar elements of culture such as ethnic heritage, language, religion, food, music, or recreation. Each of Louisiana’s five cultural regions, shown in Map 1, has cultural ties that makes it different in some ways from the rest of the state. Map 1 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions Map Skill: In which cultural region do you live? Top: An Acadian homestead is one of the attractions at Longfellow-Evangeline State Commemorative Area in St. Martinville. Section 3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions 17 Sportsman’s Paradise Region This region’s label was chosen because of the many lakes, rolling hills, and forests in northern Louisiana that offer abundant outdoor recreation for residents and visitors. Fishing and hunting have been a part of life here for generations. Bass fishing tournaments are big business on the lakes of the region. Newer sports like water-skiing and power-boat racing add a different kind of excitement. North Louisiana has more in common with the neighboring states of Missis- sippi, Alabama, and Georgia than with South Louisiana. A cultural anthropolo- gist uses the term upland South to describe this region.

  • Flags of St. Tammany Parish
    Flags of St. Tammany Parish Exploration of a New World 1519, the Spanish explorer Alonso Alverez de Pineda led an expedition along the northern shores of the Gulf of Mexico. He discovered the mouth of a great river- in all likelihood the mighty Mississippi. The French Take Possession The first explorer to travel down the Mississippi River to its mouth was Frenchman Sieur de LaSalle. In 1682, he took possession of "the country known as Louisi- ana," naming it in honor of his king, Louis XI V. Spanish Possession In a secret treaty in 1762, France ceded its territory west of the Mississippi to Spain. Colonist in Louisiana didn't learn of the transfer for almost two years! Enter the British In 1763, great Britain acquired parts of Louisiana east of the Mississippi from France and Spain in the Peace of Paris that ended the French and Indian War. Return to the French The cost of maintaining distant colonies and worries about restless Americans who wanted to control the land led Spain to return the Louisiana territory west of the Mississippi to France in another secret treaty in 1800. The Louisiana Purchase On April 30, 1803, the United States purchased the vast Louisiana territory from Napoleon for $15 million. That purchase more than doubled the size of the United States. An Independent Territory In 1810 colonists took control of the area east of the Mississippi River. It was part of Spain's West Florida Territory. That same year this republic joined the United States as part of the Louisiana Territory The area is still referred to as the Florida Parishes (Louisiana is divided into parishes instead of counties.) The flag is known as the "Bonnie Blue." Louisiana Becomes a State On April 30, 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state to join the Union.

He was followed about the year 1770 by Iberville and Bienville, who visited our own Lafourche des chetimaches. The city of New Orleans was established by Bienville in 1717 and the capital of Louisiana was removed from Biloxi to that city in 1722. A few Frenchmen settled along the river above New Orleans prior to the year 1765, but the region was sparsely settled until the arrival of the Acadian exiles, who fled from the prosecution of the British after the devastation of their beloved Acadia in 1756.
