TRANSCONTINENTAL HIGHWAY.

Good roads enthusiasts in general, and
those interested in a transcontinenta.
highway through the South in particular,
will be interested to know that the
Gulf and Inter Oceanic National High
way Association, which was organized
at the Good Roads Convention held in
Lake Charles in April, has perfected its
plans of operation, and from this time
on will actively promote the building of
continuous, free TOLL open all the year
round road, from ocean to ocean, through
the South, which is to be known the
year Round Route" Mr.. John B. Kent
who is the Secretary of the new asso-
citation, will undertake to compile first
hand information as to the actual con-
dition of the road from Atlanta to San
Antonio, the number of bridges to be
built, the probable cost, and the esti-
mated cost of surfacing the unsurfaced
portions of the road in its entirety. The
first thing necessary, of course, will be
to secure a membership to the associa-
ton that funds may be available for the
making of the surveys and estimates,
and for the meeting of the incidental
expenses of the association. Automobile
owners, good roads enthusiasts, and the
public generally, will be solicited to
Join the association and contribute some
small amounts to its financial support.
No greater or mole important PROPOSE
ton was ever presented to our people
than that of the building of good roads,
and while building them it is important
that well defined system of links and
connections be followed, for road that
starts no where and ends no where is OF
but little advantage as compared to the
one that forms part of its continuous
connecting system that is broad enough
TO comprehend the needs of an entire
State or group of States. 1t is pro-
posed to make the year Round Route"
continuous National Highway from
Atlantic seaboafd to the Pacific
coast, connecting at both ends with
other highways, extending to New YORK
and Quebec in the one instance, and to
San Francisco and the Columbian cities
in the bother, which make it one of the
most interesting highways on the con-
tinent.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

Most Of us didn't get on time for the
early Irish Potato Market. Some of US
who got in didn't plant the right va
riety, or we didn't plant early enough
or we didn't fertilize properly. Hence
these tears.
But an army of farmers did get in
right, and at Lafayette, Carencro, Brous
sard and Breaux Bridge they have been
selling potatoes since May 7th. A
number of carloads have been disposed
of and farmers received the cash for
their potatoes as soon as they were
loaded on the cars
This money comes in during Lean
Season." and the fortunate farmers who
availed themselves of the opportunity do
not now have to go, hat in hand, to the
merchants begging for credit.
Another Lean Period" will be in
August, and those who have taken the
advice of the Southwest Louisiana De-
velopment Bureau and have planted
pumpkin yams, will have the cash to
tide them over in safety. With three
cash crops year and live stock and
hogs on the side, every farmer in South
in two or three years.
Now let's talk drainage. All Of
Southwest Louisiana needs drainage
Every day lost out of the fields is
money taken out of the pockets of the
farmer" A delay of one week during
the season of cultivation or harvest may
often spell the difference between a
handsome profit and a disastrous loss.
Water-soaked land will not produce as
much, by from twenty-five to one-hun
bred per cent. as well-drained land will
produce. A decrease of twenty-five per
cent. in the production of an acre of
land that would otherwise yield fifty
dollars in 1850. Can you afford to con-
tinue paying that sort of tax for the
luxury of bad drainage, and when forty
to fifty cents an acre drainage tax
would save you $3.50, and often more
than that per year?
If you think so, boost the Drainage
Conference at Crowley on June 4th.
