it introduces cash crops and tenGs
to improve the agriculture of a To-
cality generally
To approximate the prosperity Of
the North the Southern farmer must
sell his crops for cash; to vie with
Florida and California, he must in
Louisiana learn cooperative buying
and selling. 1t took twenty-five
years to put Hammond farmers on
the truck map; by using our brains
we can in St. Tammany parish in
five years surpass every achievement
Of the Tangipahoa growers. We can
raise fine products, bring in the
best type of citizen farmer, obtain
better markets, and build richer
community-all in five years-than
has yet been attained in the South.
Why SO? Our location gives us the
opportunity. We have the best OBJ
tainable markets, favorable seasons,
the most healthful climate, the best
water; and good type of truck soil.
And what is needed to accomplish
what our natural advantages give
the opportunity for Only initiative,
chiefly in one direction-DRAIN
THE PARISH.
What Does Drainage Mean?
agricultural or field drainage
! consists in the freeing Of the soil
| from stagnant and superf1uous water
| by means of surface or underground
channels. = : Surface drainage
is usually effected by plQughing the
land in convex ridges off which the
water runs into intervening burrows
and is conveyed into bitches. For
several reasons this method is in
| effective, and, where possible, is now
superseded by underground drainage
by means of pipe-tiles. Land is not
in a satisfactory condition with re-
spect to drainage unless the rain that
| falls upon 1t can sink down to the
minimum depth required for the
healthy development Of the roots Of
crops and thence find vent either
| through naturally porous subsoil
or by artificial channels. A few Of
the evils inseparable from the pres
| ence of over-much water in the soil
| may be enumerated. Wet land, if in
| grass, produces only the coarser
grasses, and many subacQuatic plants
! and moses, which are Of little or no
value for pasturage; its heritage is
late in spring, and fails early in
autumn; the animals grazed upon it
are unduly liable to disease, and
| sheep, especially, to foot-rot and
| liver-rot In the case of arabic land
| the crops are poor and moisture
loving weeds flourish. Tillage opera
tions on such. land are easily inter-
rupted by rain, and the period always
much limited in which they can be
prosecuted at all; the cOmpactness
| and thoughness Of the soil renders
each operation more arduous, and its
repetition more necessary than in
the case Of dry land. The surface
must necessarily be thrown into
| ridges, and the burrows and cross
cuts cleared out after each process Of
tillage, and upon this surface-drain-
age as much labor is expended in
twenty years as would suffice to make
under-drains enough to lay it per-
manent1y dry. With all these pre-
cautions the best seed time is often
missed, and thus usually proves the
prelude to a scanty crop, or to late
and disastrous harvest The Guilt

crops, which require the soil to be
