Opportunities Of St. Tammany Parish
Compared With Those-of the West
BY One Who Is F Familiar With Both

It must have cost to convey this wa
ter for irrigation purposes from the
mountains, and the cost to main
tain and keep up this system, il the
same amount of labor and cost were
expended upon our lands, feel safe
in saying that beyond all question
ours would prove a more profitable
investment.
The people in the West are unit
in constantly boosting their country
and they will gladly tell you of the
advantages that the country holds
out as an inducement. They also
appreciate the benefit to be had by
advertising. One can hardly pick up
a magazine that does not have pic
ture or two Of some of the beautiful
full west. The railroads and govern
ment have spent millions upon mil
lions Of dollars in cultivating these
regions, and when taking this too
into consideration and comparing it
with the miserly. paltry sum that has
been expended in our parish in ad-
vancing the agricultural industry,
one can readily see and understand
why we have not advanced any fur
Their than we are, and what differ
ence it would make had our lands
had the same attention that those of
the San Joachim Volley and other
| noted agricultural valleys OF the
West.
In speaking Of cut-over lands
among ourselves, there is always
present to us the scarecrow, name
", the pine stump. This is such an
insignificant drawback to our lands
in comparison with some Of the I'M
| cleared lands of Canada, that sell
| anywhere from SIS to $25 per acre,
that before it can be cultivated must
be cleared by the farmer of tons of
rock at cost very much greater
than that required to remove pine
,stumps. And after it is in q condi-
/. ton for cultivation then the climatic
conditions have to be reckoned with,
and these conditions consume prac-
tically one-haf of the year with no
production. While our climatic con-
ditions permit us to utilize the
ground practically every minute OF
the year
ouC has u JIdSCl dnu Bee what
others are confronted with to ap-
preciate this land Of milk and honey
that we live in.
Mr.. Editor, am writing you these
few lines hoping that they will elimi-
| nate from the hearts of our st. Tam
many parish people any discourage
!, ment that they might karbor within
them regarding the disadvantages of
these lands. The disadvantages here
are SO minute that they should never
be taken into consideration. Let the
farmer till the soil as nature intend,
ed it should be titled, and believe
me, nature will do the rest. There
is no reason why, il this is followed
out intelligently, every farmer
in our parish within a few years
should not have a handsome bank
account to fall back upon in the
hour OF rain.

(By Whitaker Riggs

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Always having had q full-grown
desire to see the Golden West which
had heard and read so much OF;
the wonderful West that boasts of
its wonderful mountain scenery with
its rapid mountain streams, water
falls and quiet. clear lakes, so deep
that oftimas one cannot sound the
bottom; the Golden West that takes
Its name from the rich gold and
silver mines and beautiful sunsets:
the Golden West that boasts of the
giant trees, and Of ito fruit, vege-
tables and grain that is claimed to
be the finest in the land; and thous-
ands upon thousands of other Won
derful things too numerous to men
tion. This was the land that l had
longed to see, and was fortunate
enough to have had IN opportunity
to pay a flying visit to during this
past summer.
l got q fairly good birds eye view
Of the most of the country lying west
of the Rocky Mountains to The Pa
cif1c Coast. and from Old Mexico to
Canada, and into Canada some two
thousand miles. After returning
home and rejecting over what / had
seen and heard, I could not help
but thank God that ! had the priyi-
lege Of living in St. Tammany par
ish-St. TAmmany parish with its
so-called poor lands and pine stumps.
and I will venture to say that if the
natives of this parish had been with
me on this journey, for upwards Of
eleven thousand miles, and had seen
and heard what I had, that 80 per
cent Of them would offer up the same
prayer of thanKs. The people would
then create among themselves a
new spirit regarding their home par
ish, a spirit of love and pride for
every inch OF 1t.
Not for one moment do l ATTEMPT
to compare our parish with that
WONDERFUL West, and some parts Of
the North. insofar as grandeur and
scenery is concerned, nor do | at
tempt to claim any advantages from
mining point of view, but do say
honestly believing, that from an ag-
ricultural view our country will COM

A BORROWED FIANCEE
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Tommy Harvard lounged sulkily in
the doorway of Fifth avenue jewelry
shop. He had beaten his aunt to the
rendezvous by nearly a half hour-not
that he was anxious for the meeting,
but because it had just happened that
he was passing and it was easier to
stop in than to come back. Tommy,
having too much money and leisure
had the habit Of doing the easiest
thing
While he sulked he unused: II wish
to thunder the family would let me
alone. I'm no baby! / don't want to
get married. and Aunt Elizabeth can
trot her candidate home again, the one
she is to bring along to luncheon.
Say!" He turned around and looked
after girl who had entered the shop,
leaving trail Of exquisiteness behind
her as she passed. That's just the
prettiest girl l ever saw in my life!
Wonder If l know her. No-rd have
remembered her if l did. l may as
well wait inside, guess" And Tommy
sauntered in.
Suddenly he conceived the brightest
idea of his life. A small room at the
back of the shop, with its black velvet
topped tables and chairs for custom.

for the little drama he was arranging.

The girl turned away from counter
and found good-looking young man
in her path. He lifted his hat and
bowed. She returned his bow coolly.

to you for minute?" asked Tom.
The girl hesitated and ran her eye
rapidly over his clothes from shoes to
collar, and then for an instant studied
his face Reassured, she smiled and
nodded. "Why, yes, l guess you may.
But don't believe know you"
That's the trouble You don't.

They sat down at the little table and
Tom pitched in with queer feeling
that he was getting in over his head.

He was very red. The girl looked
serious in spite of CLEAN in her eyes.

Indeed it is. I'm in for a bad day

FORTUNE IN ALASKA ANG0RAS
Herds Could Feed on Reindeer Moss,
Is the Claim Made by Enthusi-
astic Booster.

Angora goats for Alaska is the lat,
est stunt for the development of the
resources of the northern territory.
1t is the plan of Judge Martin F.
Moran, representative of the territori-
al legislature from the Kobuk district.
Judge Moran a few days ago out
lined his plans for importing a herd
of Angora goats in Alaska, to feed
on reindeer moss, which grows so
plentifully on the tundra of western
and northern Alaska. The northern
legislator sees future in the An
CORA industry. with vast profits for
the men with the initiative and dar.
ing to undertake the venture.
Down in Oregon" said Judge Nor
an, there is an Angora ranch that is
making a fortune for it's owner. The
war has cut down the importation Of
Angora wool, and it is up to the few
American ranches to supply all the
needs of mohair manufacturers. An
CORA wool is staple product; it
brings from 81 to IS a pound raw.
the finest grades being used in the
manufacture of the most expensive
grades of mohair and fancy plush.

Please, please" he begged. IF

and probably get beautiful fever and

here, Laurette. Why didn't you make
a perfect deal of it and kill me out

Laurette tried to be grieved and
rather aloof. 1t was hard when ones

to another's lips. You were a tres

to get personal interview with Sena-

newspaper man on the way up from
Washington, and even l lost his trail
after we left Boston. Thought he was
coming straight on and he sidetracked
to some relative in Keene. Will you
bring him up here to see me-"
Laurette's brown eyes shone with
mischief. 1t was just the sort of lark
she loved Indeed, she would bring the
senator up to see her invalid. And
when he came and Edwards lay back
on the pillows, boyish and white, and
pleaded for what he had come for, she
added her own argument until the
senator handed over his own pencil
and sat down by the bed willingly.
Two weeks later they walked to-
gether down past the ravine slowly,
reluctantly, silently, just at the end
of the final day.

The clock chimed the half-hour and
his aunt came into the store-alone.
Tom pretended not to see. but he knew
that his aunt was eying him and his
companion through her lorgnon.
A little later she left the store, to
Toms relief. without speaking to him.
The plan had worked beautifully!
"Well,' said the girl, pushing away
the rings. Its over. Good morning"
Her departure was inevitable. Tom
had no excuse in the world for detain-
ing her an instant longer so he had
to let her go. He bought the ring she
had admired, stuck it into his pocket
and left the store. That night he
went around to get his lecture and
congratulations A girl came into the
library while he waited.

clipped into high speed; and before
she knew it she had struck him.
The car swerved, but she had her
foot on the brake now and stopped
short. He lay face downward at the
side of the road-the trespasser. She
knew him even before she knelt be-

with two of her fathers men from
