The farmer actually pays a pre-

in time expended i'll getting to mar

Southwestern Reflections

Although the weather has been
untoward, up to the present there
is no occasion for encouragement.
In Southwest Louisiana we are
blessed with a long growing season
and the excessive rainfall may,
after all, be the means of protect
ing us from having early planted
crops froat-bitten.
Don't fret about the weather.
There are plenty of things the farm
er can do i'll the way of making
improvements about his premises,
improvements which, if the wea-
thcr were good, he would never
make. Moreover , the weather which
keeps the farmer out of the field
will give a better opportunity to
test his seeds, the imperative dity
of doing which was the subject of
last weeks discussion.
If the weather should have be-
come ideal by the time this article
apearS, its precepts will not have
been lost because they will keep
they are as good for next year as
they are for this year, and will be
as long as rains interfere with farm
labor and farmers have to plant
seeds and keep up the farm machin-
cry.
How many farmers are going to
plant lespedeza this year? 1t is the
great hay crop of Southwest Loui-
siana, because it is highly valua-
bic forage crop and while making
the most nutritious hay for cattle
and horses is at the same time, 81
lently gathering nitrogen from the
air and storing it in the soil. Sys-
tematically produced it will save
the farmers of Southwest Louisiana
alone. millions of dollars, they
would otherwise have to pay out
for the purchase of cotton seed meal
or other fertilizer with heavy nitro
gen content.
No farmer in Louisiana is en-
titled to being called progressive who
does not plant some acreage this
year in lespedeza. In order to get
good work from his teams he must
have hay and no hay gives better
feeding results than lespedeza which
grows wild in many places in South
west Louisiana.
Likewise meat is going to be
high this year. The day seems to
be sdrawirG near when dollar-a-
pound porter house steaks will be
realized. What is going to be your
situation when that condition arri-
yes? Are you going to be the man
to pay the dollar -a-pound, or will
you have dollar -a-pound steak to
sell to the other fellow? It's time to
think about this now.
In this matter every farmer must
do" the other fellow, in the sense
of producing the steak, or be done
by him, so you'd better be in the
doing class and have dollar steaks
for the other fellow to buy .Remem-
ber,.
-Four times is he armed who
gets his blow in Fust"
Therefore, farmers of Southwest
Louisiana, raise beef and plenty of
pork this year, arrange for silo,
plant ensilage crops and let's make
a killing this year. Then get into
the Bureaus Prosperity Campaign
movement and let S all pull for Our
State this year.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-

Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources OF
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but 1t has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either In money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms.

railways or land companies. and with

ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, OF Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up $500. In 1903 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story Is that he bought quarter Sec
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000 In 1904 had thirty acres OF
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909
bought another quarter. I now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have never had crop failure.
Have threshed forty-seven bushels OF
wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the
eleven years that I have been here
averaged forty-seven bushels to the
acre. II now have horses, AZ head
of cattle, 80 hogs. which ! consider

help that I had was my Oldest boy,
who was years old when I arrived

About fifty miles west of Wetaski-
win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready
for homesteading, and judging from
letter received by a resident there.
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore OF Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush. which is easy to clear. Some
OF the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as well as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil Is excel
lent Water is easily secured, fishing
Is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
Canada.--Advertisement.
