Show Poultry Victims of Floods Human beings, generally, are the chief recipients of aid from the Ked Cross in times of disaster, but in the recent floods on the Mississippi, animals ani-mals were rescued and cared for in great numbers, says Popular Mechanics Mechan-ics Magazine. At Opelousas. St. Landry Lan-dry parish, La., the largest temporary hen yard in the United States was constructed to feed 100,000 chickens driven from their roosts by the flood waters. The feathered refugees were fed by the Red Cross, as were 30.000 hogs, 10,000 mules and some 30.000 head of cattle. One of the problems arising from the work was to find the owners. |
