MISS LANSING'S REPORT.
CONTINUED from page II

CONTINUED from page ~
many a farmer of St. Tammany has
found out to his sorrow. l believe
Alexius Brothers are about the most
successful rice growers in the par
ish. They have never lost crop,
and harvested their crop last season
successfully, while many other IA
ed. The principal reason for the
success is the. fact that their lands
are situated oh the river bank, ard
can be flooded Or drained at will.
So much for rice, which requires
plenty of water.
However, I want to call your at
tent.on specially to the Satsuma
orange, which, l believe, Is the most
profitable crop that can be grown IN
this parish, at present. The Satsuma
orange will grow we'll only In ex-
ceptionally we'll drained locations.
Eight miles from Covington, on
the road to Bogalusa, Mr.. Frank
Dutsch. and his brother, Mr.. Herman
Dutsch, have a few trees each, which
have borne abundant crops Of
oranges year after year, and they
have stood a temperature Of twelve
above zero without injury. Mrs.
Williams, two miles farther out, has
a tree eighteen years old, which pro-
duced last year something like five
thousand oranges, which sold 70:
sixty-five dollars. Mr. Heath, On the
Low Davis Road, has few trees.
which year after year have nettel
h m one hundred dollars, or more.
Mr.. Earl, supervisor of the N. o. G.
Y. Railroad, has about one-half an
acre in young trees, literally loaded
with oranges which he estimates will
Jet him at least five hundred dollars
his season, and he is anxious tc
liant more trees this fall.
These are facts which any one can
verify. However, all these trees
stand on high, naturally drained
!and. Now for the other side Of the
picture. Near Goodbee, and in sev-
eral ether places Of the same neigh
borhood, good many satsumas We're
planted-every one of them are
dead. What's the answer? Lack OF
dra mage. The wood produced by an
orange tree grown on low land, /;
sappy and not we'll matured, and the
first cold winter kills the trees plant
ed in such a location. Now, with u
prope~ system of drainage, we could
plant orange groves by the hundreds
of acres, and make St. Tammany

irrigation. The climate of these
states is temperate at the north and
semi-tropical at the south. Flor da
produces the most delicate fruit and
vegetable crops in the dead of the
northern winter, and the neighbo"-
ing states can produce as valuable
crops in the early spring. lntensiv :
farming usually has been hamper ID
by the uncertainty of the spring rain
fall, and irrigation is needed to in
sure a more constant supply of soil
moisture"
In Louisiana the average size g
all farm land, in 1900, was 95.4
acres; in 1910, 86.6. The average
farm of improved land in 1900 was
4O.2; in 1910, 1873. This shows
that modern methods have decreased
the size of the farms but has in
creased the size of improved farms.
The value per farm N Louisiana for
1900 was $1712; in 1910. $2499.
The same principle IS carried out
in farm property, except in machin-
cry and live stock, VIII ich indicates
a soil less expensive to cultivate and
more devoted to the raising of crops,
which is borne out. by stated III
crease n value of all crops in 1910
over 1900 of az per cent. Fertiliz-
ing, drainage, irrigation and modern
cultivation is adding to farm value
every year.

parish the beauty spot of Louis ana.
l am going to prove my faith by
works, and will plant Wo Thousand
trees this coming fall, in a well
drained location ON the Tchefuncta
river right here in the town limits
of Covington, and with proper drain

example. The first thing anybody
not we'll posted will tell you, Is TINS:
s'But the first cold winter Will Kill
the trees l say no.
If the trees are growing in bush
form, and are banked with earth
twelve inches or more, the worst
that could happen would be the loss
of the tops Of the trees. With all
the old root system behind, your
tree would be reduced to at least
half its former size, and you 'Woulf
lose only one crop. These Satsumas
budded on Trifoliata bear incredloly
young, always the second year se--
ting out, if the budwood was taken
from a bearing tree.
Do you know what an orange
grove in bearing is worth? In Car
fornia, any acre Of land suitable LOT
oranges, sells for two hundred u
one thousand dollars per acre Tor

IS worth from two thousand dollars
per acre and up Now with proper

Who Ia orr authority

Who Is our authority 1t is al
ready stated in the headlines of this
article. We might, however, add
that the Department Of Agriculture
recognized in Mr.. Williams the best
authority available by placing him
in charge of the department for
which he speaks.
However, this article would not be
complete without reference to some
local proof furnished by an incident
occurring in this parish, this seas On.
More than one farmer has tried
grapes and the average experience is
moth ng worth Dragging about.
When it is wet it is too wet, aud
when it Is dry 1t is too dry. seOne
grower tackled grape growing in a
place so poorly located that he simply
had to have drainage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rondeau bought lots in Alton within
couple of hundred feet of a lake.
and with an average elevation of
less than a. foot above water leva..:
SO they threw up sort OF series OF
ridges at the upper end, the ridges
connected with ditch fed by am
artesian we'll, and at the lower end
the ditch, rather imperfectly, on &C.
count of the almost imperceptibl.,
fall, drained the acre plot About
one-fourth of thes was planted III
Niagra grapes. One day some weeks
ago the Rondeau's detected the need

LITTLE FOLKS PARTY.

Miss Dorothy Schwartz, of Abita
Springs entertained a host of boys
and girls, Thursday afternoon. Com
bining pleasure with duty, she had
them all bring pennies and the pro-
ceeds of the penny party were $7.45,
which she handed over to Past Dr.
Luecke to help put a lightning ROD
on her church. A year ago the Lutn-
eran church was struck by lightning
and the congregation is planning to
have a complete and proper cable
protection installed. NJ IS Schwartz,
though only seven years of age, has
put her shoulder to the wheel and
made a grand success of noble
undertaking.

noticed. But their irrigation PLAN
