For White Primaries.

The Gazette is a firm believer
in the white primary method of
making nominations for all Offices
from Governor down to constable.
We are no new convert to that
plan, but have been advocating it
for the past few years. Through
white primaries alone can the
rank and file of the party have an
equal voice with the political bos-
ses in naming the personnel of
the ticket. 1t is an undeniable
fact that in nominating conven-
ton only few men dominate the
body. In advance they arrange a
slate, and in a way the delegates
merely meet in convention and
endorse it, and then the Democra-
tic masses are expected to rally to
the support of the ticket put forth
by few politicians.
We propose to do all in our
power for the success of the white
primary movement, believing that
it will strengthen and unite the
Democratic party in the State;
still we think the abuse heaped
upon the State Central Commit
tee for failing to take up this idea
at it's recent meeting is not JUST.

Rice Field Drainage.

One of the most important con-
siderations in rice growing is per-
feet drainage. Yet this essential
is more neglected by rice growers
than any other. There is no ex-
cuse for such slipshod farming.
The natural drainage of these pra-
tries of Acadia parish was perfect
before we began to pillow and levee
the fields. 1t does not reflect
much credit on ourselves, if we
have plowed and leveed our fields
in way that has ruined the per-
feet natural drainage.
Our rice growers have lost more
from imperfect drainage and poor
shocking of rice than they have
from drouth. Imperfect drainage
is the most prolific cause of red
rice, for, if the ground remains
wet after harvest, every stool of
red rice will make a second crop.
It will all fall on the ground, but
will never grow until the ground
becomes perfectly dry, and then
gets light rain. That will pro-
badly be about the next June, so
that the red rice will be ready to
come on with the next crop. If
the drainage is perfect, the new
shoots that spring up after har-
vest will usually wither before
maturing. Then, by stirring the
ground lightly with disc harrow,
and a wooden drag after harvest,
the most of the red grains will
germinste in the fall and the ba-
lance will start in Msrch-provi-
ded the ground has not been pas
tured after the heavy winter rains
have set in. 1t is very easy to get
rid of red rice on we'll drained
land.
Now, that the harvest is over,
don't get in your buggy every
morning and go to town to tell
your tale of woe, about how you
had bad luck; how the food came
and the water stood up to the
bands on your rice, and stood 80
