Dear Governor..In to-day s
Times Picayrune, l read the letter
from Secretary of Interior Lane
to YOU in regards provision Of
farms in the State for soldiers
after the war. This interests me

Of the benefits iberia Parish would

all probability, many parts of the
State will make efforts to figure IN
the deal. and I would like as a
loval American. a loyal Louis'-

that my scheme be considered.
South of us, that is, between New

about four to six miles from the
coast is high marsh which marsh

have been over some parts OF this
marsh and I have spoken to many
who know most of it, and there
is no doubt that that part of our
State could be made at small
cost one Of the most prolific parts
of our State. In addition to be-
ing made an asset industrially
and aoriculturally. it would
mean, if reclaimed, dry land 10

cilities by road (land) to a
source of sea food the value of
which would prove of tremendous
Importance to all Louisiana as
well as iberia Parish.
As to the feasibility of this
reclamation project, ! would refer
you to the naturalization of plans
which have already taken place
along a part of South Louisiana,
where land once under water is
now producing such crops that
these acres can hardly be pur-
chased at a price several hum
dred per cent above the cost of
retaining. These values being
made by the productivity Of the
land. In our Parish, just a few
miles south of our City. land is
to-day being cultivated which but
few wears ago was in the state
that this marsh is now-the
marsh to which I refer. The ad-
vantages Of having this tremend-
ously prolific soil in the hand of
farmers are many as you can well
imagine but, too. worthy Of con-
sideration, is the advantage of
our State having dry land to our
coast. If this suggestion Of mine
be made plan and this deval-
oped, I believe such would be the
case as. as yet, our coast line is
now inaccessible to land trans
portation.
With sea food selling at pro-
hibitive prices-beyond the reach
of so many-could we not help, in
great measure, to solve the prob
lem of great import to all if this |

ATTRACTIVE CATALOGUE FOR
BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL FOR BOYS

The Hustler Office is in receipt Of a
catalogue of the Blue Ridge school
for boys for the session of 1913
1919, which was sent out some days
ago.
1t is a very attractive catalogue of
about % pages and contains many
pictures Of the buildings, class
rooms, athletic teams and other
scenes about the school
1t also tells of the climate, loca-
ton, religious culture; discipline and
courses of study, but one of the best
articles of the book is the one on the
aim and scope. The following is a
part of the article:
"The. Blue Ridge school offers, to
a limited number of boys between
the ages Of nine and twenty years,
thorough training in studies, con-
Quoting that part of their education
which falls between the primary
grades and entrance to college. It's
aims, however, are not limited mere
ly to directing the mental growth of
it's students, but they include also a
large personal interest in developing
sound bodies and strong, manly char
acters. In receiving young boys I'M
der its care and supervision, the
school assumes parental duties and
responsibilities. It provides an alto
gether safe place for boys whom
parents deem it advisable for certain
reasons to send away to school,"
The school is ably supported by a
faculty of ten competent teachers,
who stress individual care and in
struction.
Although a great number r from
North Carolina, this is not the only
state represented, for there are rep
re~sentatives from nine different
states besides North Carolina.
Very much interest is taken in
athletics such as baseball, basketball
and football, besides the military
drill which is held every day as part
of the exercise and development.
Such schools as this are creditable
to the community in which they are
situated.
