Drainage Conference.
LAFAYETTE, La, May ~, Is


Editor Abbeville Progress. ;
Dear Sir: On visit to Opelousas
few DAYS ago met Major +. NJ. Kerr
President of the State Board of Engineers,
and discussed with him the movement ;
we have set on foot to secure conf
Drehensive drainage system tor South
west Louisiana. found him TO be very
much interested i'll the subject and was
agreeablv surprised to hear from him
that as far back as 1908 he had submitted
in his biennial report to Governor
blanchard precisely the plan which our
drainage conference is called to promote;
which is the division of the State into
natural drainage districts, the limits OF
which to be suggested by the topography
of the country.
Indeed two wears earlier than this the |
Board, in it's report said: 1T Is not
believed that the formation of small
districts anywhere can ultimately prove
satisfactory. On the contrary, 1t is
believed, in the very nature of things
that they, will eventually form sources
of serious conflict. controversy and
complications.
In persuance of this principle, Major
Kerr's report then proceeds to designate
specifically the several sections to the
State which, BY reason of natural con-
ditions, suggest their own alignnients IN
the respective districts. To illustrate.
the report defines the Southwest Louis
lana Basin as follows South of line
running west from Washington, La,
and LAYING between Bayou Teche and
the Atchafalava River on the east, and
). Texas-L Louisiana line on the west, III

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

Most of rs didn't get i'll Oh
time for the early Irish potato
market. Some of us who got
in didn't plant the right va
rietv, or we didn't plant early
enough or we didn't fertillze
properly. Hence these tears.
But an army of farmers did
get in right, and at Lafayette,
Carencro, Broussard and
Breaux Bridge they have been
selling potatoes since May !.
, A number of carloads have
been disposed of and farmers
received cash for their potatoes
as soon as they were loaded on
the cars.
This money comes i'll dur
ing a clean season., and the
fortunate farmers who awaited
themselves OF the opportunity
do not now have to 90, hat III
hand, to the merchants beg
cling for credit.
Another lean period will
be in August, and those who
have taken the advice OF the
Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment bureau and have planted
pumpkin vans, will have the
cash to tide them over III
safety. With three cash crops
a year and live stock and
hogs on the side, every farmer
. in southwest Louisiana can be
II independent within two OF
. three years.
