So Well Situated as to
Climate and Water
By A. E. Briggs
To be leery about taking hold of
new things is wisre up to a certain
point. Lut if we make a practice at
turning down or refusing to find out
a.eout things that are new to us, we
yould never learn anything, yhich is
an 'excecadigly stupid habit. .Mr. F.
1'. \Vorthingtoin, of Mandeville, is a
very young u.d man. lie is past
three store and ten, but he is as
(eager as a ..anool boy to pick up a
bit of erw knowiedge. Anyone who
has watched the improvements dur
ing the past year on the old Orfila
place in the middle of the postoffice
biock maust have become aware that
the man who lives_ there has some
"get-up" about him. And if he will
take the initiative and get past the
modest reserve which makes the
owner shy toward strangers he will
dsicover a very intdresting person.
lHis experienc'e is worth while to St..
Tatmnany fat, mers, for he has had a
lifetime in the farming business in
Wisconsin. Wisconsin is famous for
her dairy development, which is far
the best in the United States. Later
we may contribute somewhat of Mr.
Worllington's knowledge on this
subject, but first it will be more in
teresting to our readers to-learn the
results of Mr. Worthingston's clear
ing and tile draining his farm.
Tlhe farm is located on the out
skirts of a small townu, Oconomowoc.
not far from Milwaukee. Mr. Worth
ington inherited it from his father,
but as it canme to hin it was not
much of an inhericance, for it laid
low aend wet. Forty years ago he
dynamited thire stumps and then un
derdrained it with tiles. It wea
that forward-lookinlg spirit whica
has kept Mr. - Worthington young.
But it produced prohits of another
kind also. That farm not only there
after produced a good living for the
family-tar moinure important!-it
paid for high .ctool and college edu
cations ror a half dozen children.
It s.ce.is, to tiec that was a worth
a\\ ile .tc ulivtlnelt.
liow was it donte, and what did
it cost?
There were oak stumps as large
as tour tee. in diameter. It took
ton pountds of dynamite to do the
job. it tienil cost thirty-five cents a
lpound. it is interesting to contrast
tu;t cost wtl .hltte much less expense
for ,, aicit it an now be done by a
bt Tllannillaly faitcert, who can at the
precent time iay picric acid, a more
poveriii and effective explosive, at
seven cents a pound. The St. Talil
h:atiy '.r'!."nt in h t recent issue has
given tull information about picric
acid.
'iThe dynamiting not only blew out
the sa.ump5s, but there were other
beneilts. It killed aml sprouts, and
corn grew biigest and best on the
dlynamited spots. Thou Mr. Fried
latder 1 learn that hie has observed
a similar Lenetit to fruit trees for
which holes were dynamited. Th'ere
is only onie caution to be taken, and
thalit is not to dynamite clay soils
wheit they are wet, as it puddles the
clay and woult thien be an inijury.
There wiere twenty acres to be
dra ined, but the drainage of this
tract a.lso bl(,c:lued adjoining lands
which lay high'er. He employed a
drainage eting eer for a fee of $2>
to survey and plan tihe system. 7000
ftct of tile were laid. The mains
yerc 6 and N inches in diamet, r and
the laterais 3, 4 and 6 inches. 'rithe
entire cost of tiles and ditching
amounted to $120. Hie tiiinklrs that
tio\' iVitih increased prices of labo.
a'ld mlaterials it would cost about
$300 or $400 to complete that job
of druainauge. Tile drainage is much
muore 'explensive than drainage by
openi ditches, but then it is far more
ctffe.tive and valuable.
Two points especially are to be
noted. First, the drainage was
scientiically planned and laid out by
un expert dtlrainage engin'eer. Sec
ondt, the entire cost of the drainage
was only $6 an acre.
iHow much was that drainage
worth? Mr. Worthingaon says ift
doubled the crop. That is, for the
samne labor and expelse put forth,
lie goIt twice the yietl, and that, of
course, meant mnorp thani twice the
piroit. It would often mean the dif
forence between no profit or a loss
and a big iProfit on the cost of labor
and seed.
The crops raised were corn and
piotatoes. Mr. Worthlington took
great care to select his seed corn out
of his own field andi thie fields of his
,adjoining neighbors. The butt and
the end of the ear were shelled so
that only the best kernels of un'
form size were planted.
Preparation of the ground and cul
tivation were given equally close at
tention. Before planting the fie!d
was plowed, disked, harrowed with
tooth harroy, pulverized with plank
pulverizer, and rolled to mike a
compact seed bed. Then he waited
until the ground was warm and tried
to plant just before a rain, when the
land was dusty and not wet.. After
the corn was up it was dragged with
the harrow both ways, and the corn
was then cultivated every week, and
he took care to kill every weed.
Naturally, Mr. Worthington is nI
believer in the North as the real
farming section, for he has not been
here long endugh to get a high opin

FARMING IS
NEED OF PARIS H
Permanent Parish Organiza
tion Urged to Develop
Cut-over Lands
(By A. E. Briggs)
Pursuant to notice a meeting of
landowners, stockmen, timbermen,
merchants and others interested in
the development of St. Tammany
parish was held at the Town Hall in
Mandeville, December 1, at 10 a. m.
The object of the meeting as stated
by the chairman, Mr. Henry Keller,
of Slidell, was to set on foot a move
ment for a permanent parish organi
zation to consider and devise means
for the development of the waste
cut-over lands in the parish and as
sistance to farmers in improving
lands and marketing their products.
Mr. Felix Bachemin, Farm Agent
of the N. O. G. N. Ry. called atten
tion to the fact that the farmers here
in the past have depended on the
timber industry for their living in
come, but that now conditions nave
changed. The timber is nearly gone
and a very long period must be pass
ed before financial returns can be
obtained from reforestration; so that
now it is necessary to make the
farms more productive and self-sup
porting. He stated that the three
railway systems entering this parish
stand ready to assist in every way
possible in advice to growers and
aid in marketing their crops. lie I
put special stress on the fact that
our lands are ideally adapted to
trucking and some general farm
crops. A representative of the
Southern Radlway present seconded
these remarks and added that the
Southern Railway had just made a
reduction of 10 per cent on freight
rates for farm products shipped by
the carload.
'Mr. Eugene Neuhauser, of Slidell.
said: "We merchants have awoke
to the fact that farming is a necessi
ty for this parish. We have to get
propserous farms and farmers or our
businesses have to move out of the
parish. We are near a city destined
to be the greatest in the United I
States, but agriculture in this sec
tion has scarcely been touched, al
though this Ponchartrain district has s
farming possibilites whoch should
place it among the best and finest I
in this state. He put emphasis upon
the need for drainage.
Mr. C. A. Everitt, banker of Sli- f
dell, told of the organization of the 1
Farm Products Corporation therc-.
Said they had purchased a building I
and converted it into a sweet potato I
storage house with a capacity of 12
to 15 thousand bushels. So far they
had purchased only three! thousand I
bushels and had those nearl through s
he drying process. They proposed i
to handle other trucking crops also. $
Mr. H. B. Pruden, of Covington,
was ntroduced as an experienced
farmer. He urged the need of or- a
ganization in behalf of the farm'ers
which would give them proper in- f
formation concerning what to plant, I
how to plant, when to plant, and
where to market. Mr. Bachemin re
plied that the government and state 2
agricultural officials are being paid
wth taxpayers money to furnish this
information, and whenever the peo- i
pole of the parish will get together J
and call for expert service it is avail- c
able to them without cost.
Mr. Simmons, a marchant ofSli- 2
dell, told of his experiences in the a
Mississippi trucking district. He
illustrated by several instances how 5
much more profitable is truck gron- I
ng than the raising of staple crops.
'W\Ve must go after the - Police
Jurors," he said, "and get a real
farm agent and demonstrator, as '
hat is the first step in the develop
nent of our farm resources." 1
Mr. Sonderegger, State Supervisor
of Forestry, then addressed the meet- 2
ng to the effect that at the present c
time a greater revenue is derived
fiom the lumber industry than from 5
farming in this state, that this state 1
s supdrior to others in the rapid $
growh of timber, that our laws favor

ion of the opportunities in the South.
Hle says significantly that a man
comes South because of the climate,
and not -because he prefers the South
for farming. Farming practices in
the South are certainly far behind
those in the North, and so the re
sults are discouraging to one who
has not had the opportunity to co
serve that the bad results are due to
bad methods. Poor tillage and lack
of drainage is most of the story of
Southern crop failures.
On the other hand, as Mr. Worth
ington said when I called it to his
stention, the Northern farmer has

STUDENTS.
Through the initiative of the fac
ulty, the St. Paul's hoys were de
lightfully entertained last Thrusday
night. The program put up for the
occasion was patriotic all the way
through.
Mr. Edgar Bouligny, veteran of the
Great War, gave an altogether inter
esting and impressive lecture on the
horrible scourge, The slides he used
had been made with pictures taken
by himself at the front. Mr. Boul
igny, as everybody knows, remained
on the battlefield from the earliest
part of August, 1914, up to the sign
ing of the armistice. Speaking, as
he did, as an eye witness he could
not fail to keep the ybuthful audi
ence under a constant spell of ut
most attention.
Mr. Benjamin W. Miller, local
commander of the American Legion.
delivered his eloquent address on
Americanization. After exalting the
privilege of being an American citi
zen, he made a hasty survey of the.
many ohligations and duties incum
bent on the youth of to-day. "You
are the men of to-morrow," he said,
"and as such you must bring the
greatest care to your education in
order to be able to make justice to
the patriotic task ahead of you."
"America" and "The Star Spangi
ed, Banner" yere sung during the
performance and the act ended by
the singing.of "Holy God, We Praise
Thy Name."

To Push Organization
Meeting To Be Held
ST. TAMMANY, WASH.,
AND TANGIPAHOA
Election of Officers Follow
ed by Dinner Spread
At Gabe's Tavern
The regular meeting of the St.
Tammany Parish Medical Society was
held at the Southern Hotel Thursday
evening, December 8th. The princi
pal discussion of the ?meeting was
malaria, as affecting St. Tammany
parish. The opinion of physicians
and the general remarks establish
ed conclusively that St. Tammany
has little to fear from this malady,
and the following resolution was
adopted;
Whereas, numerous reports have
been circulated by physicians and
laymen of adjoining. parishes that
malarial fevers are prevalent in en
demic form, in St. Tammany parish,
and,
Whereas, such conditions do not
exist, as proven by a sanitary survey,
conducted by members of this socie
ty, and,
Whereas, vicious or erroneaus
charges of this character, born of
prejudice, detract from St. Tammany
parish as a health center,
Be it resolved, That the St. Tam
many Pariah Medical Society, in reg
ular session assembled, whose mem
bers practice in every locality of
said parish, denies the existence of
malarial fevers within its borders,
except those -oming from other sec
tions already infected.
Be tt further resolved, That this
denial be given free publicity by in
sertion in the New Orleans and
local press.
The forming of a Tri-Pariah Medi
cal Society was discussed and met
warm approval, and it was decided
to invite Washington and Tangipa
hoa parishes to join in its formation
under the auspices of Dr. J. Leater
Williams, who warmly advocated the
measure. Dr. Williams is counsellor
for the Sixth District. The organi
zation meeting will take place in
Covington on January 12th.
The following officers were elect

This is the third term with which
Dr. Maylie has been honored as pres

After the meeting the members
and a few invited guests adjourned
to Gabe's Tavern, where a delightful
evening was spent over a dinner that
was tempting In the extreme and
well served.
Dr. Maylle presided at the dinner
and Dr. Durel acted as toastmaster,
performing the duties of this office
with many happy remarks and a
'rumor that was appreciated by all.
'Every member was adorned with
z white or red camelia, which were
'avors of the evening. Speech fol
'owed speech until the morning hours
began to come in giving warning that
there would be "a day after the day
before" to mark this very enjoyable
evening if there was not an adjourn
ment.
An incident of the evening was the
very high tribute paid to Dr. Durel
by Dr. J. Gee. Dempsey, of Baton
Rouge. He said that Dr. Durel stood
out prominently las an exponent of
the modern idea for treatment of
consumption, in his preventive meth
ods and classification especially, long
before these measures were compre
hended and appreciated ·by the pro
fession.
The guests of honor were Dr. Les- .
ter, of Baton Rouge, state councellor
for the sixth district; Dr. Homer
Dupuy, ,of New Orleans, formerly
president of the State Medical Socie
ty, and a man of very high standing
in his profession; Dr. J. Gee. Demp

peculiar circumstance that every phy
sician in St. Tammany parish was on
that evening in Covington, excepting
Dr. Pennington of Madisonville, and
Dr. Jones of Folsom, who was in
New Orleans. However, no emerg
ency cases were reported.
