THE SCIENCE OF FARMING

Weather, ordinarily. cannot be con-
trolled.
Yet in old agricultural communities
much is done to control the effects.
We are told that where intelligent
and constructive farming has been car
ried on for many years. that very wet
seasons, such as this one has been in
Louisiana. are to some extent neutral
lied by tile draining.
In the arid West careful cultivation
was founl TO be of great advantage in
growing crops during very dry sea-
son. Indeed, it was found that less
water and more cultivation were actu-
ally advantageous. producing better
crops. It had the additional advan-
tage Of permitting a greater acreage
to be put under cultivation where there
was a limited water supply.
Farming can be made science
which will TO a large extent eliminate
the element Of chance. Haphazard
farming is a gamble. Gambling with
Nature is risky. 1t takes years, educa-
ton. pertinacity Of purpose to achieve
this.
The South should become a famous
dairy region. Observation of condi-
lions in Vernon Parish warrant the
conclusion that this can be made
dairy region with many advantages.
A long, mild season. with most Of
the months Of the year growing
months. guarantee an abundance Of
feed. The mild climate makes unnec-
essary any very pretentious housing
facilities. Markets are close by and
prices are high.
But dairying for success does not
mean taking a few pine knot cows.
turn them loose to forage. milk them
at irregular intervals. let them be dry
most Of the year. guess at which are
profitable members Of the herd, and
then TO expect profit. Neither can it
be made exceptionally profitable IT
feed must be purchased.
But if good cattle are secured. are
kept in tick-free pasture, if they are
fed well. MIXED regularly. if records
Of individual performances are kept.
If siIos are constructed, and modern
methods generally followed, there is
little doubt but that this can become a
dairy region which will make this a
promising district.
Il is a matter 10 which attention
might we'll be given. The dairy bus
mess requires work, attention, care,
thought, study. observation. intelli-
gence. But il brings steady income
throughout the entire year. instead Of
only at ono or two periods, and there
is assurance of good prices all Of the
time. It is not so hazardous as ordin-
airy farming. is more fascinating, and
generally is more profitable.

in a radius of ten OF twelve miles

home and advise that We cash in our
stock holdings in these fields, which
seem TO be waning mainly on ac-
count of the fact that the big oil
companies are consuming all the pay

in a final freezeout OF the small
shareholders.
