Reflections

N@AISSERO14i
After Christmas comes a wee
of preparation for the New year
1t ought to be a week of serioU
reflection and carefulpreparatior
Surely we have lived to no pun
pose at all if the year which ha
gone has left a message to US, j
the opening New Year does no
find us wiser and better equippe'
than we were twelve months ago
One of the lessons we ought II
have learned long ago was en-
forced with tremendous emphasis
by the events Of the year 1914
That was the folly of the single
crop system. The war in Europe
struck down cotton, the tariff
crippled the sugar industry and
speculative combinations threat
ened, for a time, the rice indus
try.
The American farmer, if he
shall learn his lesson right he
need have no occasion to be dis
Quilted over European. trust
created panics Or tariff changes.
So long as the American appetite
remains the American hog, the
American steer and dairy COW
and American bread and garden
sass will be in supreme COM
mand of the American dollar.
So long as men live, whether
they fight or play they must eat,
and the farmer is the man who
produces the feed.
Hence, while the Southwest
Louisiana farmer should not en-
deavor to make too radical a
change in his farming methods
in 1915, yet it is highly impor-
tant that he should ease up con-
siderably on cotton, sugar and
rice, and produce a great deal
more of foodstuffs.
Such a thing as a farmer buy
ing meat in 1915 should be un-
heard Of and disgraceful. He
should have pork, beef and NUT
ton inabundance to sell. And
most Southwest Louisiana farm
ers can do it if they want to.
They can have all the dairy
products need on the farm and a
surplus for the creamery. When
the acquire a sufficient number
of cows they may have skimming
stations and creameries in their
nearest towns.
Poultry and eggs afford anoth-
er pleasant and profitable field Of
exploitation. Southwest Louis
lana farmers can make more
money out of the products of the
poultry yard, and do it more
cheaply too, than they have ever
realized from cotton, sugar-cane
or rice.
But this means intelligent CO.
operation, honest methods and
perfect organization. 1t means
chat the the business men must
help the farmers, for the new
system will mean big cash bust
ness for them.
DR.. Dalrymple's plan for a
monthly. or weekly local market
day, where everybody may have
something to sell, whether it be
sheep, hogs, cows, steers, horses,
poultry, vegetables, potatoes, or
not, may bring them to the
market place on an agreed
date and expose them for sale
and barter, is a most excellent
one, which the Southwest Louis
lana Development Bureau hopes
to be able to organize in every
town in the district.
