Some Southwest
ern Reflections

Has defective drainage interfcrcd
with the planting and working of
your crop this spring? ANY farmer
tell YOU that his crops are from
two weeks to one month late be
causc the Spring is backward. -
In this case the backward
Spring" is simply another way Of
saying that the lands are so poorly
drained that the water soaks into
the ground instead of being carried
off as fast as it falls.
\ backward Spring" some
times costs the farmer lots of
money. To illustrate; two weeks
ago potatoes were quoted on the
Chicago market at 500 per
barrel. This week they are quoted
from $500 down. Thus. the two
weeks Won have lost because of bad
drainage has cost YOU, if YOU have
potatoes ready for shipment now,
just s. 90 per barrel.
Let's do some figuring on this;
one acre of land, cultivated under
favorable conditions, ought to
produce a minimum Of fifty barrels.
This means that the backward
Spring" or bad drainage, cost the
farmer 500 per acre.
Of course, to those farmers who
haven't had the enterprise to join
the Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau and plant early
potatoes for the market, this Is
all Dutch. But to the farmer
whose potatoes have been set back
two weeks because of the rains ii
means a loss of 500 of good
American money on every acre he
planted---not to mention the re-
duced production.
Now. is the man who is paying
500 per acre for the privilege OF
enjoying" bad drainage, going
to kick when he is to pay a drain
age tax of S mills on forty dolla,
land---or twenty cents per acre
and yet the country is full Of mel
kicking just that wav. What &c
YOU think of such mcno
/ The Southwest Louisiana DeVc
lopmcnt Bureau is at work on
big drainage plan and we are going
to shell the Woods with logic
along this line.
