ST. BENEDICT.
Archbishop Messmer Addresses the
Students at Seminary.

st. Benedict, March 20.-Arch-
bishop Messmer, who visited the local
seminary March 10, the feast OF St.
Joseph, the patron saint of the abb
bey, delivered q strong exhortation
to the Seminarists. Speaking OF the
greatness Of the priestly vocation,
his Grace said: II always had the
greatest respect for clerical student
who turns back and gives up his
clerical studies and leaves the semi
nary, even If it were the very year
before his ordination, when he does
II for conscience sake. 1t takes q
noble heart to do that, for we know
how the people think Of It, unfor-
tunately;a but I say. while you GER
tainly must not force yourselves In
to the sanctuary of the Lord, at the
same time you may entertain In your
hearts that holy desire that God Al
mighty may ind you worthy to enter
this great ONCE, in that desire you
may find the encouragement and all
necessary impetus that will be need
ed in order to carry out the prepara-
tory work. Do your studies In Sc
rious mind, and still more look to
the sanctification of your souls. 1t
Is not the knowledge that the priest
has; 1t is not the store of informa-
ton that he may have gathered dur
Ing the years of his studies; it Is not
his personal accomplishments; but It
10 the the spirit of the soul: 1t IS
the disposition of the soul; It Is only
the work Of the holy priest. the one
who attends to the sanctiication OF
his soul that will bring down from
heaven the blessings that he needs
for himself, @ well as for those he
has In charge"

roads are making an effort to awaken
an interest In the farmers as to the
Importance of entering into the truck
growing bushes in proportions that
Will make 1t profitable to both the
railroads and the farmers. Intensive
farming is proposition that means
more to st. Tammany parish than
any undertaking the people could
pledge themselves to. The timber Is
fastly disappearing from the land.
Employment in saw mills, Logging and
incidental occupations will soon be a
thing Of the past. Unless farming
operations take their place, the peo-
pie will have no resources from
which to earn q livlihood and the
railroads will have no revenues from
the patronage of this section. The
question is Of vital importance to the
railroads, and 1t is of vital impor-
lance to the people. The railroads
are willing to do their part. They
will give all the facilities for handl-
ing the products, with refrigerator
cars. good service and rates as cheap
a. competing sections are getting.
1t is up to the farmers to grow the
product. For the purpose of discus
sing the matter meeting will be
held at the court house next Thurs
day. March 2S, 1912. under the di-
rection of the Covington Commercial
League. There will be present at
the meeting Mr.. Harry D. Wilson Of
the State Agricultural Department
and Mr.. c. r. Verlander, traffic and
freight agent of the Illinois Central
and Baton Rouge, Hammond and
Eastern Railroads, who will talk the
matter over with the people. The
farmers are the ones who are especi-
ally wanted at this meeting, and they
are earnestly requested by no means
to show an Indifferent feeling in a
matter that is of so much Importance
to them. All should attend this
meeting and come prepared to ask
questions and to answer questions.
With the help of the railroads and
q proper progressiveness on the part
of the farmers, the raising of crops
that will show what the land can do,
our cut-over lands may be settled
lished that will make the farmers
independent.
Mr.. Wilson says there are lands
on the lake shore that could probably
be made into profitable celery farms
by the hauling thereon quantities of
the black sawdust-like washings from
the lake that are deposited on the
shore. These celery farms are very
profitable, some in Florida now yield
ing $21OO to the acre. Radishes are
now bringing in the Chicago market
So per hamper, and sweet potatoes In
the same market are bringing $1.65
per bushel. The freight on the rad
ishes is about 19A cents per hamper
and ON the potatoes about Is cents
per bushel.
Don't forget that the meeting will
be held in the court house in Gov
ington at 10:3O q. m, Thursday,
