Some Southwest
ern Reflections

A man living i'll Southwest
Louisiana doesn't need to be stingy
in order to get rich. All that is
necessary is to stop the waste
Kitchen Stops and vegetables
enough to maintain the family i'll
lard bacon and hams are wasted at
every farm home.
Plows, wagons, machinery, i'm
Elements cause enough loss from
deterioration by exposure to
weather to pay a handsome divi-
dend OH the money invested in
the farm.
Enough sugar cane tops are
burned each winter to feed a suf-
ficient number of cattle to supply
Southwest Louisiana with beef
milk, butter and cheese all the
year round.
Enough rice straw and shaft are
burned in Southwest Louisiana
each winter to increase the value
of the rice crops, if converted into
fertilizer, by not less than a half
million dollars a year.
Enough oyster shells are wasted
each year in Southwest Louisiana
to supply that element of poultry
feed to all the chickens in the
United States.
Stop all this waste Shelter
your farm vehicles, implements
and machinery; put your cane tops
i'll silos and sell it in the shape of
milk, butter. cheese and fat beef;
feed as much rice straw as is
needed for roughage and the
balance of it to the soil; paint
your homes and barns and pre-
serve them; convert the oyster
shells into poultry feed and fill
Southwest Louisiana with fat
poultry and fresh eggs.
Those things do and We shall
live; for it is chiefly waste that
makes want in Southwest Louis
lana. The Southwest Louisiana
Development Bureau will help you.
For instance, last week it had cor
respondence relative to:
Establishing market for Louis
lana products in Chicago;
Marketing cypress lands located
in Cameron Parish:
Getting ground lime rock to the
planters at reasonable prices;
Encouraging the production and
marketing of Irish and sweet pota-
toes in Lake Arthur and Plauche-
vile;
Information relative to scientific
poultry raising at Morgan City;
Information concerning possible
location of cotton Factory in the
cotton section of Southwest Louis
lana.
Demonstration farms to show
what Southwest Louisiana can do

culture.

About Completed.
WILSON OUTLINES VIEWS
Opposes Agitation for Larger Army
and Navy; Favors Reorganization
OF Government Departments and
Urges Economy In Expenditures.

Washington, Dec. 9.-President VII.
son departed from the prepared text
OF his annual address to congress,
which was devoted principally to an
swering those who contend the Unit
ed States is unprepared for nationai
defense, to give notice to the business
world that the legislative program OF
his administration, as it affects regu
lation of business. is practically com
pleted He said it has resulted in a
clear road for business to travel TO
"unclouded success"
Honest business men, the president
declared need have nothing to fear
in treading the way outlined in the
trust and currency bills. While the
president dwelt briefly on the subject
his words were interpreted as an as
suranee that no further important
business legislation was contemplated.
In brief the presidents message
makes the following recommends
tons:
Enactment of law to enable the
government to purchase merchant
ships and operate them.
Necessity for exercise of strictest
economy in the administration of gov
erment.
Enactment of measure to provide
means for ultimate independence of
Philippines.
Favors Seamen's Bill.
Enactment of pending seamen's bill
for greater protection for American
seamen and to insure greater safety
of vessels at sea.
Enactment OF law making provi
sion for thorough survey of the coast
of Alaska so as to remove danger tc
navigation.
Enactment of legislation for the bet
ter conservation of natural resources
of country.
The presidents remarks in full with
relation to business legislation were
as follows:
Our program of legislation with
regard to the regulation Of business
is now virtually complete. 1t has been
, put forth as we intended as whole
and leaves no conjecture as to what
Is to follow. The road at last lies
clear and firm before business. 1t is
road which 1t can travel without
fear or embarrassment. 1t is the road
to ungrudged, unclouded success. In
1t every honest man, every man who
believes that the public interest is
part of his own interest, may walk
with perfect confidence"

tiously, graphing with the Germans
