\tliie.dMLdav everuing we had a
very ntch applreciated call front
Mr. Paul I. Switzer. the acting
tntian.,er of the it. Big Boast Bureau,
which has, its main t f fice at Lafav
! tte. Mr. Switzer came over lhere
itn the interest of the urrcatt, atnd
will have this parish well repjre
settting in the bureau. This )utrean
covers about.thirteen of the fertile
parishes of this section of the state,
and by co-operation there will be
great benefits derived.
Aioutog some will be the secur
jing of qualified instructors for tile
teaching of niodernt scientific farm
ing nmetholds: the encouragement
of crop diversification; the procur
Sing of scientific soil surveys; the
encotr:ageentt of the extension of
trans.portation facilities, highway,
water and rail; the procuritg of
equitable freight rates; the estab
lishment of markets and the
introduction of manu facturies;
advertising the resources of, and
encouraging inmmnigration into, the
district; the cultivation of the true
commtunity spirit and elimination
of sectional jealousies.
These are all matters properly
and most efflciently handled by
co-operative effort, through organ
izations broad enough and strong
enough to carry infltence not only
with people who support it but
with the outside interests which
must be reached in the protnotion
of any considerable and lasting
developentet.
Parish Roads in
Need of Care
Vermilion parish seems to have
a chance now that she has never
had before. There are many little
things that are going on in the
.way of inmprovements, and there
are many large ones, and to say
the least they are good, everyone
of them. True too, there are
many thinlgs tlhat are ncglected,and
especially the public roads of the
parish. The roads as a rules are
fine, but now and then one has
to cross a bad mud hole, caused.
from not being drained. There
are bridges here and there that are
high and a steep approach to them
makes them very disagreable. It
would seem that some would have
enough get up about them to have
these few bad places remedied,
thus making the roads good all the
way. Lets see who will so this.
The roads that are kept up, are a
rule, are done by some enterprising
man or a few men.

Sunday a crowd from the Summer
Nonmal School enjoyed a very
delightful excursion on Bayou
Vermilion---going as far as
Abbeville. The scenery along the
bayou was gorgeous and, in
many places, it rivals that of the
far-famed Teche, as described by
Longfellow in Zvangeline. The
following composed the party:

May Drain the
Crooked Sticks
Among the imporant things that
are being done for the ilmpro\ve
Inent of tile conditions of the
parish and for the bettermuclt of
the city of Abbeville is the project
to drain the coulee knowni as
'Crooked Sticks."
There is now being formed a
drainage district to be known as
the "Catoked Sticks I)rainage
District," the purpose being to
drain all the laId betweel iBayou
Verjnilien and the Gross Isk
woods, andtl all the land in the rear
of Abbeville.
Should the effort prove success;
ful thousands of fertile acres would
be brought into use, and the riost
fertile for cultivation purlos.s.
At the present time the water itn
many places is nearly a mile wide,
ec:autse of no d1rinage, and year
by year is enlcroachinllg 1upon the
cultivated lands, as the outlel
through Young's Coulee is nearly
filled up.
Good roads is one good thing
that cannot be overdone.

Farmers Need
Instructi'ons
'"'The farmers of this section need
instructions in the matter of grow
ing diversified crops alright" said
E. E. Shackford, at general man
ager of the Louisiana Traction
lines, at Lafayette recently, "and
they neel the opening up of out
side markets." Btq, if they would
study local conditions they would
find a market for much of their
produce that now goes to waste.
"Many farmers hereabouts are
giving many Irish potatoes to any
oie who will come for them, and
tng what they can't give away
rot. Those potatoes will be worth
real money in the fall, and to pre
serve them it is only necessary to
dig them and put them in some
dark cornerg of their barns. If
they have not room they will keep
justas well pitted shallow mnd
covered with a light layer of dirt.
"Under the present reckless
system of giving away they are
aiding in the destruction of their
markets, cutting down the trade
of the city grocers and laying up
faorthemselves the certainly that
they will have to dig .into their
ow pscedb to lay fancy pices

Of great intere t andl benefit to

ed road into the city.
The ri i , i n; o r,.'. i. ti::
from tl;c MoLty corner to the \'ctr
nmilion Sugar Co.'.s plant. As it
was before it was only about
twenty feet wide and more than!
half the time was impassible. Now
it will be about 40 wide with :a
side walk on each sidle.
This work is being done by the
farmers of that)cction, who are
giving their services valuntarilv.
The thing is beiing financed by the
city council and the ipolice jury.
and is very ably as'isted by the
Vermilion Sugar Co. 'ihe conmpany
furnishes lunches to the workmen.
and is encouraging the work light
along.
Stumps have hbee blown up
after the trees were cut down, and
the telephone poles are being re
moved by Cumberland Telephones
Company, and there are about
thirty workmen busy at the work.
This will make one of the pret
tiest roads in this part of the parish
when finished, and it is expected
that it will be completed and in
fine condition for this fall's harvast.
This ituproveuent alone will
bring considerable trade to Ab
beville that has heretofore been
going elsewhere, and we trust will
be an example set, whereby other
roads will be widened and im
proved.
