IRRIGATION SHOULD SUPPLE.
MENT DRAINAGE in
ST. TAMMANY.
An Opinion by Milo B. Williams, in
Charge of Irrigation Inyestiga-
tions i'm the Humid Region, Office
of Experimental Stations of the
Federal Government.

Frankly, the editor believes he
speaks for the public In here Stain g
his disappointment at Mr.. Arnett's
failure to present his plans at the
Gov .ngton Association of Commerce
dinner given in his honor some
weeks ago, but now that he knows
the reason why" it is alright. The
inventor of the Poured Concrete
house has admitted that b s ideas
were SO revolutionary as compared
to the accepted practice of the par
ish he was afraid he would be dis
credited if at this tine he advanced
such extreme views upon people Ill
recognized humid district where
the annual rainfall averages so to
70 inches. But now that drainage
is in issue, Mr.. Arnett feels 'tirriga-
tion,' becaues it IS inseparabse from
the best drainage practices In the
best fruit and truck districts, should
como up for discuss on.
"Rains" must come at such times
and IN such amounts as will proper
ly moisten the soil for the prepara-
tion of the seed bed and will fur

moisture to germinate the seed anu
develop the plant until 1t reaches ;
maturity. A check in this supply OF
soil moisture at any stage or the

MADISONVILLE
STANDS FOR
DRAINAGE
(By w. ]. HERMANN
MadisonVille, July Is, 1920

| MadlsonVllle, July Is, 1920.
| Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
| The 'Get-Together" meeting he,t
by the Madisonvile Assoc alton .,j
| Commerce, at Madisonyille on thu
night of July Ia, proved to be com
plete success.
The meeting was called to order
| by President Rousseau, who made a
| short talk and outlined the purpos:
OF the Observation-Disclosures. Mr.
| Rousseau, in a few. but we'll chosen
| remarks, introduced the first speaker
| of the night, Mr.. Arthur l.. Bear, OF
CoVington. Mr.. Bear, with his hum
erous way of talking, brought ou.
very foreibly the objects Of an AS
sociation of Commerce, and pleaded
that the proper cooperation he
maintained.
The next speaker to be introduce /
by MIR. Rousseau was Mr.. A. F..
Briggs. formerly of Kansas City, now
of St. Tammany parish. Mr.. Briggs
made a very interesting talk upon
the opportunities that face this par
ish, comparing this parish with GER
tain parts Of California and Florida.
He places St. Tammany ahead If
Florida for truck growing by en-
phasiZing the marketing facilities
which we possess.
Mr.. Rousseau then introduced Our
next speaker, Mr.. Eugene Arnett,
that untiring gentleman from the
west. The crowd expected to see a
red handana, wide brim hat and
everything that goes to make up a
westerner, which we have read 50
muca about. Mr.. Arnett is all that
t takes to make a hard working,
tar-sighted, resourceful and produc-
ing gentleman. He certainly en-
lightened those present on what Is
In store for them, providing, Of
course, they avail themselves of the
opportunity. Mr. Arnett's talk was
much appreciated by all present.
Mr.. Rousseau then introduced Mr..
Karl Treen. Mr.. Treen made few
mighty fine remarks substantiattng
what Mr. Briggs and Mr.. Arnett had
said.
Mr.. E. G. Davis, president of the
Cov.ngton Bank & Trust Company,
was next introduced. Mr.. Davis, as
di dMr. Treen, pleaded that the peo-
pie Of St. Tammany grasp the OPP
portunity now facing them and pusl.
the drainage project to completion.
Mr.. Rousseau called next on Mr..
w. J. Hermann, cashier of the Madi-
sonv:lle Bank, for talk. Mr.. Herr
mann spoke just few minutes and
requested that the ladies of Madi-
sonville get together and organize
some association to work with the
newly organized Association of COM
merce
Those present were then invited to
partake of refreshments which had
been prepared by the ladies Of Mad
isonville, and after the refreshments
were served several of the younger
set gathered in the dance hall of the
pavilion on the river front and en-
gagged in dancing.

HOW TO HARVEST PINE SEED.

Follow the logging crews about
he time of the year that the cones
begin to turn to a broWnish color,
which is usually aboat September 10
or Is. Collect the cones, place in
sacks and send to the place of as
sembly. Here they should be kept
in dry place and summed as much
as possible, as the sun causes the
cones to open. When open, there
are several processes for throashing.
One simple and systematic way is TO
use an ordinary dry goods box about
3'x4' and put wire netting on one
or two sides. A door or some OPEN
ing should be placed on one side, SO
same could be opened at will. Fast
en- axis through center of the box.
swing on uprigkts, or tree, windlass
fashion. Turn with crank like
grindstone. The seed will then drop
out through screen and can be
caught on canvass.
When assembled, cones must not
be packed in large piles. Provision
should be made for the free circula-
ton of air and direct rays of the
sun, in order to cure and open in
good fashion.
There is a good market for we'll
cured seed. For bulletins giving

pose of inspecting the highway work,
which has been built between the
point on the lake shore opposite st.
Tammany parish from the Rigolets
to the Chef. With the exception of
about 1000 feet at the extreme end

VARNADO PLACED UNDER $4,000
BOND.

The assassination of Sam Haas a
week ago Monday, while getting his
men together to work at his mill
near Pearl River was a most brutal
and horrible murder. There were
no eye witnesses to the crime, but
suspicion pointed to Arch l.. Var
nado, and deputies were instructed
to arrest him. No one knew, how
ever, where Varnado was and while
he was being hunted, his relatives
also searced for him, and after get
ting in communication with him
Varnado said he would give himself
up If he could have an immediate
hearing. This was arranged for
and the hearing took place in Cow
lngton Monday, Judge Carter recus-
ing himself and Judge T. M. Burns
being appointed to sit in his place.
There were sixteen witnesses, Il
for the state and four for the de-
tense. AS it was claimed Varnado
was bare-footed when the crime was
committed, footprints of several peo-
pie were taken in sand, but those
Identified as Varnado's proved not to
be his. No evidence of a character
strong enough to hold Varnado as
undoubtedly guilty was procured and
Judge Burns released him ON a bond
of $4,000.
