Sou western Reflections.

Last summer great conference
assembled at Crowley under the
auspices of the Southwest LOUISE
ana Development bureau to con-
slider the question of drainage. 1t
was largely attended and it's de-
alterations attracted much atten.
ton throughout the State.
The problem of draining South
west Louisiana is big one, but it
ought not to be considered bigger
than the people themselves. The
way by which men have grown
great is by mastering the condi.
TONS which, undated, keep the
people in subsection to the ad.
verse forces of nature. One essen.
tial difference between the savage
and the enlightened man is the
inability of the savage to rise
above the limitations imposed by
nature, while genius breaks the
letters of primeval obstacles and
harnesses the forces of nature to
his triumphsl chariot.
Now, trying to farm without
adequate drainage is on a level
with the methods of the primitive
man who plowed with a forked
stick and rubbed two pieces of
wood together when he wanted
fire to cook his food with or to
warm himself. In the matter of
drainage, with few pleasing ex.
captions. We have progressed but
little further than did the Attaka.
pas Indians, who inhabited this
country before our fathers drove
them out en- the pretext of a desire
to build up a better civilization.
Friends, what defense are we
going to make when we are sum.
moned before the bar of Eternal
Justice to answer for our dispos-
session and determination of the
peaceful, inoffensive savages,
when we are doing even worse
than they did in the treatment of
our natural resources?
Drainage ia fundamental in
every intelligent scheme of agri.
culture. Even the lands on which
aquatic crops are grown will be
improved by modern facilities for
drainage. Half the expense of
harvesting may be saved if the
lands may be made dry and firm
for the harvesters. Potatoes. peas,
corn, cotton, hay and oats rot in
the fields because the water is
allowed 10 remain ana soak into
the crops. And all this represents
cash going to waste every year
because We refuse to rice above
the level of the savages, whom we
exterminated because they would
not respond to the requirements
Of civilization.
Are we willing to continue thus?
Health considerations demand our
attention to this matter. Half of
he losses we incur from sickness,
produced or aggravated by lack of
proper drainage, would give
Southwest Louisiana the finest
lrainage system on this planet. A
lick man can't work. It costs
money to die. and dead man
ceases to produce. Shall we drain
md live, or do we prefer to pay
or the luxury of being sick?
Which is the preferable imple-
nent; the grave.diggers spade or
he traction drainage excavator?

E. A. MILLER, AGRICULTURIST, TALKS ON TEACHING AGRICULTURE IN RURAL SCHOOLS

E. A. Miller, formerly of Alabama, and now specialist in agricultural ed- ucation and connected with the ex pertinent stations of the United States department of agriculture. was in Alabama recently and had some par .icularly interesting things to say concerning the teaching of agriculture in the public schools and about the relation between agriculture and edu- cation.
 "Education," said MT. Miller, "has been defined as a process of fitting one for his environment Since reaction to environment determines not only the usefulness but the happiness of the individual the character of his en- yironment should largely determine the nature of his education. Generally speaking, mans environmental rela- lions may be grouped under three heads-production. distribution and consumption.
 Productive processes may range from the growing of ap acre of corn ! to painting a masterpiece.
 "Distributive processes may be any thing from marketing load ol po- tatoes to the sale of literary classic.
 Consumption involves all the pro- cesses from satisfying the physical ap- petite to enjoying an esthetic feast or Il Melba
 "In rural sections these environ mental relatio operate principally through the medium of agriculture This fact. supported by the pedaeo eical truism that Knowledge of the unknown must be approached by way Of the known, justifies the assertion that school training in the country should include and be correlated with agriculture I know there are those r ho will say We should not attemp' to make farmers of the entire rural population. l readily agree with this but by teaching agriculture and cor relating it with other school subjects we are not necessarily making farm CTS Rather we are educating. We are educating by utilizing the conditions of environment and are dignifying . ? truly great calling in thezeyes of those who remain to follow 1t and in ths eyes of those who go into other lines of work.
 q want to digress here to say tsa' the trouble with our country life to- cay is due to the prevailing sentiment shat the business of farming does no occupy a position on a plane with th' so-oalled honorable professions The normal American wants to occupy : position of dignity and honor The fact that these qualities have beer associated with cer tain vacations to ; greater extent than with farming ha: resulted in drawing the most capable and ambitious men and boys away from the farm. As consequence o this loss of natural and competen leadership, country economic and socia conditions have suffered. Those wh' would have been leaders for rural bet
