A GOOD FARME1

UNDRAINED
LANDS
Saving in Commercial Fer
tilizers Will Pay the
Cost of Drainage.
THERE SHOULD BE
DRAINAGE DISTRICT;
Cost Will Not Commence a
Once and Extends Over
Many Years Hence
(By A. E. Briggs)
While there is a necessory differ
ence between management of a fari
in the hill lands of this parish an(
on the flats in the southern portion
both have in common the equal ne
cessity for drainage. However, to
effect proper drainage is a less diffi
cult problem in the northern thbfr
in the southern part of the parish
Nevertheless, to establish a good sys
.tem of drainage in the hill lands re
quires study and expert handling.
Prof. Barrows advises that tile
drainage in this section is probably
not sufficiently more effective to jus
tify its adoption instead of open or
,-ditch drains. But I would suggest
that this is a matter 'which should
probably be determined to -fit the
conditions on each farm by a drain
age engineer. This, emphasizes the
fact that it would be greatly to the
advantage of the farmers of this
-parlsh to employ an expert drainage
engneer to study the conditions ap
fplyingy to every farm in the parish
and to lay out a, system of drainage
which will provide the chief means
mentioned 'by Prof. Barrows for in
creasing the fertility of the soil so
that commercial fertili.ers need not
in the future tombe purchased in great
iquantities as in the past. In short,
it will pay the farmers in every part
"of this parish to spend money' for
-drainage. It will cost less than com
mercial fertilizers.
As to the employment of a drain
:age engineer, the Louisiana law (pro
vides for the Board of State En
gineers to do the most important
preliminary part of the work at cost,
the expjense to be advanced by the
land owners and to be re.mbursed
to them out of any funds realized
from the sale of drainage bonds.
This is a matter which should be
taken up at the earliset practicable
moment by the farmers, and they
,can obtain the as3istance of the busi
ness men of the parish.
But. the ,first step to take is to
have the Police Jury (under the
present law) establish drainage 6d8
tricts over the entire parish, so that
there need be no duplication of the
work or duplication of costs at any
place and also to enable each locali
ty to determine for itse:f ihe mvetho1
of drainage therein and not to oe
burdened with the cost of drainage
for any other locality. The estab
lishnent of a considerable number
of drainage districts, all at the same
time, is in my opinion the most
efficient and entirely just plan to pro
yent any locality or any person from
taying to pay for drainage he does
not get. Everyone should payin ex
act proportion to his benefits. But
wo-operation of all the farmers and
land dwners in the parish is neces
sary at the start. So the first thing
to .o is to get the Police Jury to
Bstablish the, drainage districts. A
[air plan has already been .worked
Ult, not with the idea that it is per
!ect and can't be changed, but as a
)asis for discussion and to provide a
itarting''point. That will be re
sulbmitted at any time it becomes
Apparent that there is a universal
nterest and demand for it. -
In each Drainage District after irs
srganization by the Police Jury
)rainage -Commissioners for the
nost part residing in the District
.hould be appointed to approve a
Irainage project for that 'district to
,e su'bmitted to the vo'ers. And be

Judge Carter Decides Con
duct of the Gambling
Place Nuisance
ORDER ISSUED
ABATING NUISANCE
It Is Further Ordered That
the Defendant Pay
All Costs.
The injunction and a:badement su:t
against Sidney A. Landry; brought
by C. G. Larrabee and other citizens
of Slidell, represented by Attorney
L. V. Colley, was decided by Judge
Carter of the District Court of the
Twenty-sixth Judicial District, in
favor of plaintiffs and the injunction
granted. A suspensive and devolt
tive appeal under bonds of $0000 ld'
$100 was granted up to March 25th.
The judgment reads as follows:
It is ordered, adjudged and de
creed that the conduct of the gambl
ing house be declared to be a nuis
ance, and that it be' abated as pro
v-ded for in. Act No. 192 of the Acts
o f1920.
And it is further ordered, adjudg
ed land decreed, that an injunction
issue as prayed for, enjoining, re
starining and prohibiting Sidney A.
Landry from operating such ,busi
ness in the 'premises owned by him
at the northeast corner of Bonfouca
or First street and.Bouscaren. street,
in the town of Slidell, La., and that
defendant pay all costs of these pro
ceedings.
they should take the advice and
counsel of expert drainage engineers.
It is the duty of the Board of State
Engineers, when called upon, to
make all surveys and examinations
necessary to determine the cost of
the drainage, to run all lin'es and
levels, lay off canals and levees, lo
cate pumping stations, and perform
any and all services in conne9tion
w.th"the drainake a"id r'Wa` lmJ brV
the lands -in any District. In' the
engineers' report to the local Drain
age Commissioners they are requir
ed to state specifically whether or
not the project is feasible, the cost
per acre to drain and reclaim the
lands, the cost per acre of mainte
nance after the drainage is estab
lished, the character of the lands,
whether prairie or timbered, and,
if partly timbered, the proportion of
each; the cost per-acre of putting
the lands in a state of cultivation
ifter the drainage is accomp.ished;
the fertility of the soil of such Drain
age District, and the value of the
land per acre after the reclamation
Scompleted. So, the voters when
:hey come to vote on the project and.
:he issuance of <bonds know definite
y much of the advantages they will
)btain fr6m the drainage, what it
; and how much it will cost.
The plan for drainage diPtricts I
nention above proposed to have 25
Istricts, (and to separate the pump
nd levee districts from the natural
)r gravity drainage districts so that
leither would have to pay any part
)f the cost of the other, and no dis
;rict would have to share the; coat
>f draining any other district. .Thus
would not prevent two 'districts or
nore joining for the construction' of
i long canal, but this canipro'bably
)e avoided, and I ,believe /as avpid
td by the plan as drawn.
The larger part of the parish, even
)f the southern part of the parish,
an be drained b'y Improving the
arrying capacity of the natural
treams "n the parish, and the Iparish
a fortunate in controlling practical
y all the streams which run thru
he ,parish. .Probably only the swamp

SHOW SUCCESS
MANDEVILLE
Mandeville, March 3-The picture
show given March 2 at the Progres
sie Union Hall was a grand success,
'both from the picture show and
-inancial standpoint. The people
were all pleased, as. was the menage
ment.
Owing to not having the proper
size lense the picture was, not quite
as l~rge or as distinct at it -should
have ,been at times. -Most of the
scenes shown being night scene were
very difficult to show with the lense
used, but all inall, iftwas very good.
Dr. VanZant made quite an ap
propriate talk in behalf of memuber
ships for the Progassive Unionsl He
explained the cause '-the Union is
working for, which is a larger and
more progressive Mandeville. The
.other speaker of the evening was
Mr. A. E. Briggs, who made quite a
lengthy talk in regard to making a
harbor and a place for -vessels to
shelter themselves wh'en need be.
Mr. .Briggs told the people of Mande
ville that with the dredging of Bayou
Castaign Mandeville would- offer
much more inducements for people
to spend their time-here, as the lake
is what people are after for pleasure
and recreation, and with a place to
harbor their'boats Mandeville should
come to the front and go over the
top.
Capt. Kern will put on another
show Saturday night and will then
have the proper equipment to screen
the show as it-should be. There will
be a show every Wednesday and Sat
urday until further notice, --as Mr.
Frederick, of the St. Tanmmany Ice
& Light 'Company has assured Man
deville all the power that town can
use inside of a couple of weeks,
then there will be as goQd shows in
Mandeville as one would. see in-_a
city.
At Wednesday night's show each
attendant was given -a chance tO
name the theatre, and a season pass
was the reward.' The judges to select
the best name were 'Mrs. Fassman,
chairman of the Progressive Union
Entertainment Committee; -Mayor W.
E. VanZant, and Mr. Hutchinson.
The, name selected was the "Mande
.viile Booster,?- and Mr. L. E. Bethea
was the one who submitted the
name.
March 3.lst the Progressive Union
wjll give a& Minstrel Show with a
feature picture as an added attrac
tion.
Some time in April there will be
an entertainment and Tgeneral goodl
t'me and show for the benefit of
the Reverand Father of the Catholic
Church to afford him -a little recre
ation this coming summer, the date
and program to- be announced later.

FIFTY MILES FROM CVINGTON
HAS TO RIDE SIX HOURS.
Gulfport, Miss., Feb.25, 1921.
Edtor St. Tammany Farmer:
Dear Si:r:-- am residing only 50
miles from Covington as the crow
tfles; however, am required to ride
six hours on railroad trains to reach
your town, not including the ýWalt
over to make connections. ',Every
time I make the trip I think of how
near we came to having a railroad
-from Covington tpo Gulfport. Un
doubtedly, it will come some day.i:
Gulfport has been principally aw
lumber port, and still is, as a matter
of fact, but its citizens realize that
the day-.will come when the forests
of-Mississippi will be no more. -With
this view in- mind, the people are
already working to export other cpm
modities than lumber as well. as fim
port goods. Within:'a few days'ten
thousand bales of cotton will be
shipped to Germany. TIhis cotton,
I understand, is being shiped under
the Fitzgerald plan whereby it- will
be made into goods in Germany and
when the goods are marketed the
owners of the goods will be paid
for it. -
A fruit company has recently .been
organized- by- Gulfport business men
and will import bananas and cocoa
nuts. Already three cargoes have
been received. A cargo ýconsists of
approximately "50 car loads, a car
load bringing around $700;00. :This
refers to bananas-s asbut few -coo
nuts are' bei lhandled. The'rult
is being pusr sed from Proiter
Mexico," and the boat' makes the trip
from Gulfport to Frontera in four
iays. A round trip is made In ten
to" twelye days. Herewith is a let
ter written 4by JVhn 'H. -Lang, the
grand old man of the Coast, who is
'terested in nearly every enterprise
3f prominence and who made a trip

the real get-together spirit means in
the progress of a town"- Every busi

people.
President Warner outlined the
work accomplished, and in response
to the call, of the toastmaster, Mayor
Badon,'many of the members and
guests spoke of the opportunities
that could be opened to Covington
by the assistance- and co-operation of
its citizens.
One of the accomplishments of the

of Covington, and it was announced
that the plans for putting jn a brick
yard was so far-advanced that sufflci
ent stock had been subscrlbed' t'
put such a plant in going position.
All that -was needed was th.cdetails
of organization and a mneeting of the
committee having the mqtter in -
charge. This will soon ibe accom
plished.
The putting of the river in navi
gable shape was, also discussed. It
was stated that work on the cou- ,
tract for. dredging was awaiting the
placing of an available fund to be
drawn, upon for this work. It s un

mediately available is not sufficient,
an additional .fund can be 'brought:
