 The pope, on the other hand, is ab- solutely neutral and is anxious only to diminish the horrors of war by hasten ing in every possible way the conclu- sion of peace. All the pontiff's efforts in this direction are taken without the church having any direct interest in them.

Reflections

All hall the New Year! 1t tn,
past twelve months have no
brought to US a lesson and
prophecy, then indeed we hav'
lived ie in vain.
The lesson is, the folly and in
evitable disaster of the single
crop system; the prophecy is Of
better things under the practice
of Investigation, crop ratatior
and live stock breeding.
1t was old Aesop who, in an apt
fable, emphasized the folly OF
putting all ones eggs in one
basket. 1t is madness for the
farmer to subject his fortune to
the risk incident to the vagaries
of the weather, and to pests and
enemies that might destroy one
kind of crop, but be perfectly
harmless to another. By plant
ing several varieties some will
thrive under conditions that
might be destruction to others,
and thereby he would be reason
lably certain of one crop in any
|event.
In the case of cattle and hogs.
they are like the interest on a
mortgage-they make money for
you while you sleep. If the old
|year out of which we have gone
left one message to Southwest
Louisiana it is undoubtedly this:
Diversity, rotate your crops,
raise cattle and hogs" There
to be no farmer in this Sec
'tion who will disregard this mes
sage.
But the disasters of 1914 left
another lesson for US. More
than ever before it impressed up
on us the fact that no part of So
ciety can suffer without bringing
to a greater or less ex-
tent upon all others. When the
was unable to sell his
crop the resultant suffering did
not effect him alone; the cobWebs
grew on the shelves of the mer-
chant; notes remained unpaid at
the bank; the doctor quite as
as ever but his patients
were unable to collect their bills;
The lawyer had more work to do
than ever before and had to do it
On credit.
Isn't it easy to see, how deep
y it is to the interest of all of
,hese to help the farmer to get
IN a solid foundation. And that
S the work of the Southwestern
Development Bureau.
Hearty cooperation between all
he classes mentioned above is
essential to the success of ALL
nd that cooperation can be
,rought about most effectively
through the medium of this Bu-
eau.
We can't continue under the
Id system which has resulted in
utting the South away back be- !;
ind every other agricultural
.untry in the world. If we
rant to catch up with the pro- !,
ession everybody must lend a |
and in this good year Of 1916.
