Southeastern Reflections.

Although the weather has been
untoward, up to the present there
is no occasion for encouragement.
In Southwest Louisiana we are
blessed with long growing sea-
son, and the excessive rainfall
may, after all, be the means of
protecting US from having early
planted crops frost.bitten.
Don't fret about the weather.
There are plenty of things the
farmer can do in the way of maxi
ing Improvements about his prem
ises-improvements which, if the
weather were good, he would
never make. Moreover the wealth.
er which keeps the farmer out of
the field will give a better oppor.
tunity to test his seeds, the inn
perative duty of doing which was
the subject of last weeks discuss
sion.
If the weather should have be.
come ideal by the time this article
appears. it's 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 asrains interfere with farm
labor and farmers have to plant
seeds and keep up the farm ma
chinery.
How many farmers are going to
plant lespedeza this year? IL is
the great hay crop of South west
Louisiana, because it is a highly
valuable forage crop, and while
making the most nutritious hay
for cattle and horses is, at the
same time, silently gathering nj
trogen from the air and storing it
in the coil. System atically pro-
duced, it will save the farmers of
Southwest louisiana alone, mil.
lions of dollars they would other
wise have to pay out for the pur-
chase of cotton seed meal or other
with heavy nitrogen con.
tent.
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 -ork from his teams
he must haze hay, and no hay
gives better feeding results than |
lespedeza, which grows wild in
many places in Southwest Louis
lana.
Likewife meat is going to be
high this year. The day seems to
be drawing near when doIlar-a-
pound porter-house steaks will be
realized. What is going to be
your situation when that condition
arrives? Are you going to be the
nan to pay the dollar-a.pound or
will you have dollar-a.pound
steak to the other fellow? Its
lime to think about this now.
In this matter every farmer
must edo" the other fellow in the
sense of producing the steak. or
DC ,"done" by him, so you had
better be in the doing class and
lave dollar steaks for the other
ellow to buy. Remember "Four
lines is he armed who gets his
blow in fust."
Therefore, farmers OF Southwest
louisiana, raise beef aud plenty
Il pork this year, arrange for silo,
liant ensilage crops and let's
make killing" this year. Then
'et into the Bureaus prosperity
campaign" movement and let's
II pull for the advancement of !,
ur State this year.
