Elsewhere in this issue Of the
journal will be found strong plea
from the Lake Charles AmerCan.PreSS
for the re.establishing by the parishes
of the Land Title Records destroyed by
fire three years ago. The editor OF the
Press suggests that as the territory
originally comprised in Imperial Calca.
Sieu has come unexpectedly into about
$75,00O.00 from the sulphur mines, it
would be the part of wisdom to use
this amount, or such a portion
of it as is necessary, to secure the
completion Of the records of the land
titles Of the parish, We believe every
thinking citizen will agree that the re-
establishing Of these titles is duty
that the parish owes to the citizens
thereof. Through no fault of theirs,
and through what is believed by many
to amount to almost criminal negli.
genCe on the part of the parish, the
record OF practically all land titles was
lost in the fire three years ago, and
today every transfer of realeState
throws a heavy burden Of expense up.
On the Individual owner, in order to
secure a perfect title. The burden OF
this expense will far exceed in the
aggregate the amount necessary to
hi the titles restored, i'll SO far as
restoration is possible. We suggest
that every reader of the Journal read
the article referred to above, and then
if convinced that the records should be
restored use your influence toward
having it done.

Looking Southwark.

A great many farmers in the South
don't realize what an advantage they
have over we Northern Farmers.
They could beat us two to one, for every
thing is in their favor. Here we are
| frozen up nearly six months Of the
year, that we cannot do anything very
much except get in wood and haul
manure. | see there You can ploW
nearly every month in the year; here
we can't begin blowing until April and
then for the next three months we are
head over heels in work, simply be.
cause we cannot work, at most any.
thing we want to as the Southern
farmer can.
| specialize my work. raise poultry
and fruit and agree with you that
there is no country in the world as good
for poultry raising dS the South is. |
have made up my mind that there is no
country can offer man better living
at least expense than the South, and as
soon as | can arrange my business
here and sell out, the South will catch
me for one.
RALPH H. RABY.
MillerSburg, Ohio, in Progressive
Farmer.
The writer of the above has the right
idea about the fact that the Southern
Farmer, has everything in the way of
climate and natural conditions in his
favor. Not only can the southern
farmer ploW and work his ground
practically every month in the year,
but if he will put forth one half the
energy the northern farmer has to use
in order to make bare living he can
become wealthy here in single decade
While not only the northern farmer
himself, but his feds and gardens are
practically idle for half the year or
more, as far as earning anything is
concerned there is not a month in the
year, but that the southern farmer can
furnish his table with nearly enough
for a substantial meal from his garden.
Again while the northern farmer has
to house and feed his cattle for five or
six months of the year upon farm pro.
duCe that he has been spending the
other FIVE or six months raising, the
southern farmer turns his cattle out on
the ranges, and fields where they not
only live all the winter, but come out
fit for the butcher in the spring. It's
always question with the northern
farmer, whether the beef that he puts
on the market will sell for enough to
actually pay for the feed he has put
into him, and leave any profit, the
southern farmer on the other hand
knoWSithe beef he turns onto the mark
ct is Ill clear gain as in ninetY.nine
cases ouI Of a hundred he has grown
up and fattened On the range, and
never cost cent FOR feed or shelter.
While all these things and thousand
other advantages not mentioned are
true Of the South in general, they are
all especially true Of the immediate
vicinity Of Welsh. Here soil, climate,
drainage rainfall, and every natural
combines to make an ideal
home for the farmer and his family.
All that is necessary to induce a rush
of settlers into this country that would
be equal to the rush to Oklahoma a few
years ago, is to let the people know the
exact truth about this, the finest coun.
try God has given to man.
