Deep Well irrigation Plants
&c Money Makers

The deep well and the canal
systems Of irrigation both have
husky champions. The canal
system champion is talking a lit
tie softer each year, however,
because he is up against the
stump of facts. The deep-WeIl,
Individually owned irrigation
plant, when cost Of putting the
water on the ground at the time
it is needed is considered, has the
canal system of irrigation decid-
edly on the run. The Layne &
Bowler Deep Well people are
proving this every day to practi-
cal rice men all over the south.
For q consistent record of de-
livaring water in z steady aood
of volume whenever wanted, year
after year the Layne & Bowler
Deep Well Pumping Plant has
earned the right TO stand at the
top. It has been at work in the
field of rice and other irrigated
crops long enough to prove that
it Withstands wear and tear of
steady use. In other. words. ii
stands up to its work.
The experience of Mr.. Sheu-
maker, of Welsh. Louisiana, is
typical of the average experience
OF Layne & Bowler Pumping
Plant owner. Mr.. Shoemaker
has operated his plant for six
seasons. It has never failed to
provide MS. farm with all the
water he needed, whenever he
needed it, and his total repair
account for the six full seasons
of work has only amounted to
$ll.50. just figure out the mon
ey Mr.. Shoemaker has saved by
his good judgement in purchas-
ing a Layne & Bowler Pumping
Plant. Think OF what his water
tolls would have amounted to
this period OF time had he been
tied up to the heavy toll of the
canal system. tbs fact is had
Mr.. Shoemaker been gouged year
after year by the canal system
he would have given up more in
tolls than would have sufficed
for several pumping plants. In
addition, he would probably have
had a short crop several times on
account of not getting water
when he needed it.

Compliments Judge Dupre
Upon His C~Ommunica-
ton in Our Last
Issue.

Whiteville, La. Nov. 25, 1914.
Mr.. G. L. Dupre,
Opelousas, La.
Dear Sir and friend:
Allow me to thank you for
your article in the last issue of
the Clarion on the cotton and
farmer question. [ think it the
most sensible article that have
seen ON that subject since the
free advice to farmers has been
so lavishly given.
The only way | can see for the
farmer to hold his cotton would
be for the Governor to call a ses-
sion Of the Legislature and pass
a mortararium. or stay law, pre-
venting all forced collections for
twelve months, and then the
farmer would be able to hold his
cotton and would be benefited by
planting no cotton, or a small
crop next year.
But in my humble opinion the
only solution for the farm
ers of this section of our
state, is for the Government
to loan them money on mort
cages, on long or short time, and
at a low rate of interest on their
lands.
Hoping that you may live long
to put up a fight for the op-
pressed farmer who has long
been "A drawer of water and
newer of wood for the rest of
mankind.
Your friend,
E.. C. MILBURN.

Missionary Notes
BY THE SOCIETY.

Frank NJ. Long, who gradu-
ated from the Louisiana State
University in 1913 and who has
been in Juiz De Flora only a
short while writes very interest
ingly of the work there. Even
though there have been difficult
ties; things have moved along in
the same old way. He tells of
broken loves and broken hearts
but says it would take too long
to tell of the broken hearts.
Miss Bertha Attaway writes,
my first year in China is ended.
Truly it has been the best year
in my life in many things. lam
full of plans for the next year.
Studying Chinese has taught me
anew how beautiful my mother
tongue really is, and the Chinese
girls are a never ending JOY.
Getting acquainted with these
dear pigtailed and pantaletted
maidens has been for me ffaught
with much JOY"
If home mission work stops at
material betterment, we will
have only better fed and better
clad sinners, and we have
enough of them already.

own irrigation plant Mr.. Sheu-
maker sold in these six years
S75, $50 worth of rice from his
farm. He figures his plant a
money maker from two legiti-
mate angies-as an insurance
against a failure of water at the
time needed and a crop maker at
a less cost per acre. Coming
down to facts, Mr.. ~Sheumaker's
plant has cost him less than
nothing.
The initial cost of installing a
Layne & Bowler Pumping Plant
should not deter any man from
the move. The initial cost of
buying land does not deter a mar
from it's purchase, neither does
it hold him back when he con-
siders the purchase of thorough
bred bull, hog or stallion. A
man making rice should own the
Layne & Bowler water raising
outfit because it not only saves
him money in making his rice.
but these very savings pay for
the pumping plant. With a
Layne & Bowler Pumping Plant
you can get water on your land
at such a small cost that the diff
ference between the cost to you
and what you would have to pay
the canal company in cash or
shares is sufficient in total to pay
for your plant. If you have a
large tract in rice each year this
saving will pay for a pumping
plant within the season.
A rice farmer who patiently
pays an acre tax for water year
after year is being gouged, and
just as certainly as year follows
year this excess toll will break
If you are a rice farmer
and have given up a part of your
profits year after year to the

yourself tired of the burden, you
