reyes the true greatness and wonder
|ful possibilities of the American re-
republic, for today we are feeding
land supporting large portion OF
mankind outside of our borders. It
lis even asserted by some that if the
United States would put in force an
embargo act between this country
and the warning countries that it
would force the war to an end in a
very brief space of time. l do not
go that far in wy prediction, but T
do know that, should the United
States government adopt such q
measure, some of the warning ma
|tions would be 50 badly crippled in
their commerce that they would be
compelled to change the course OF
their war policies: and there 10 no
doubt that It would be . powerful
factor in Fastening the war to an
end. Although / do not wish to be
understood - an advocate Of such .
measure, for we are not in any way
responsible for that war. and should
not suffer for others. assert that
statement merely to demonstrate the
position Of this nstion In interna-
tional affairs, and her potent iAdu-
ence in directing the course Of the
commercial world.
It is fact admitted by all that
this country Is actually feeding and
keeping up some Of those warning
nations, in various ways; but by far
more than any other way, with her
agricultural products. And we know
that agriculture-thatg great industry
In our own country is only in the
infancy of her development. In fact
the future possibilities and greatness
her precious metals, or her coal and
iron mines, or her oil fields, that can
be extracted from the ground, but
upon her agricultural resources.
The god of nature has so provided
u with the proper means, that, to
me, there Is no doubt We will de-
velop that great industry to its full
capacity In the course of time. We
have the extent Of territory and with
1t such diversity of soils and eli
mate conditions as to make possible
the growth Of almost every imagin-
able plant or fruit-more or less in
different localities. We are aware
Of 1t and the whole world knows it
That enormous quantity of goods
which 10 being daily exported to Eu-
ropean nations Is q plain demonstra-
ton to the world of the possibilities
Of our soils and climates, II we make
q proper use Of the means mothe,
nature has 90 bountifully provided
for us.
Unfortunately, the farming popula-
ton Of this country, the very pillars
of the industry, have been grossly
neglected and shamefully treated un-
til recent years. Our lawmakers
were absorbed in other lines of ac-
tivitfes and did not stop to consider
the situation Of the poor farmer"
only when general cry of the high
cost Of living swept the whole coun-
try like mad wave, they began to
open their eyes, and started to help
the tillers Of the soil. During the
last few years vast appropriations for
the purpose of developing the indus
try thereby assisting the farming
population. A United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has been created
and that department issues yearly an

Edito st. Tammany Farmer:
In this age we are witnessing the
greatest catastrophe of old times.
rms great European war is taxing
the minds and energy of the people
to the uttermost. The real and fun-
damental cause of that mortal COM

JOHNSON GETTING SPLENDID
SUPPORT.
Washington Parish Candidate Will
Make Splendid Senator.

Several citizens of FranklintOn
came over to Bogalusa Monday night
to attend the Pleasant meeting. De-
los X. Johnson, who is candidate
for the state senate, could not be
here ON accol MT OF previous engage
ments in Livingston parish where ne
went Monday. Mr.. johnson is max
ing an active canvas Of the district,
and reports from all points are very
encouraging. A meeting was held Tor
him at Canaan, in this parish, last
week. where he addressed large
crowd Of the voters OF that commu-
nifty. He has made speeches at sew
eral other places in this parish, and
also at various points Of the other
parishes OF this district. He spen'
several days in Bogalusa In the In
terest of his candidacy q short time
ago.
It 10 very pleasant to note that
the public men who come to wash
ington parish always have words OF
praise for Representative Johnson.
which indicates his high standing
with the legislators Of this state.
They know him by hi sgood record
in the House Of Representatives at
Baton Rouge, and they recognize his
ability.
Mr. Johnson Is now seeking to be
promoted to the state senate, and
with his experience as legislator
and personal acquaintance with the
members of the legislature and pub
lie affairs, he will be in q position
to launch into active leadership In
the senate as he has done IN the
house In the past few years. Ethci-
emit service in the legislature does
not depend altogether upon mans
ability to make a good speech on
the floor for or against propositions;
he can do much more it he is in q
position to command important COM
mittee assignments, and by his per-
sonal influence and weight with his
colleagues. johnson is hard work
or for his countrymen, and is we'll
fitted to perform the duties OF a
senator.
1t will be we'll to remember that
this senatorial district is composed OF
the parishes OF Washington, st. Tam
many, Tangipahoa, st. Helena and
Livingston, and is represented in the
state senate ~ two senator's. There
are four candidates for these tWl
places. Delos II. Johnson is tn,
only one in the race from this parish
and we KIP ct to do ourself PROUD
by giving him our solid support
