MR.. BOURGEOIS
OFFERS SERVICES
It Is Asked That the I'm
portance Of the Matter
Be Well Considered

The Covington Cemetery has been
in great need of care and attention.
The raising of funds and the care
of the grounds has been qquite a
large task. 1t seems now that with
the aid Of Mr.. =. M. Bourgeois some
thing is about to be accomplished
that is worth while. 1t is to be
hoped that the call for a mass meet
ing will be answered by the citizens
in numbers that will show the public
interest the matter should have.
Mrs. j. C. Burns makes the fol-
lowing announcement in the matter:
Mass Meeting Called for Cemetery
Work March Doth.
We believe that at last a project
will be launched whereby our Gov
lngton Cemetery will be cleaned,
drained and beautifed.
Mr. Lawrence M. Bourgeois has
become deeply Interested in this work
and in cooperation with the Pro-
gressive Union bias volunteered his
services as general manager and
supervisor for one year. A meeting
was called by him March 18th and
plans outlined for beginning the
work. At his suggestion an associa-
ton was organized with Mrs. Preston
Burns, president; Mrs. +. Vaughan,
vice-president; Mrs. Alice Wilson,
chairman and assistant supervisor;
Miss Kate Eastman, secretary; Mrs.
j. c.. Burns, corresponding seere-
tary; Mrs. Il. NJ. Bourgeois, treas

matter what am doing. always
find it so interesting.
am especially interested to note
the great strides being made by the
people Of Covington, and st. Tam
many parish in general, in their ef-
forts to get a better system Of good
roads, In my estimation, this is the
first step to making our parish one
of the greatest agricultural sections
in the South. It is impossible for
farmers to raise products and after
all their work to not be able to get
it to market. As to the drainage
and irrigation there is no question
as to its necessity Just look up

NOT EXPENSE.

Editorial from New Orleans Item)
The parish farm and demOnstra-
ton agents went under wave of
economy that swept over the ST.
Tammany police jury at it's March
meeting and even enveloped the con-
stables and justices of the peace.
How the police jury expects to make
the st. Tammany fair success with
out the aid Of these two agents, not
to speak of the promotion of better
and more profitable farming general.
" in the parish, we don't know.
Several other parishes have tried to
do without them and have confessed
failure.
The Covington Association of Com
merce has guaranteed the salaries of
these two farming aides until the
police jury can be asked to recon
slider it's action. Not only the bust
ness men Of Covington, but the
farmers look upon the discontinue
ance OF these two agents as a mis-
taken sort Of economy.
Calcasieu has just secured as farm
agent Mr.. Fondren, who has served
jefferson Davis in that capacity for
eight years. During his tenure OF
office, the farmers have bought
through him, from 5000 to 5000
head of standard grade Of cattle and
the livestock industry has been built
up to fine proportions. Fifty-tWo
silos were erected and cholera, char
bon and other livestock diseases have
been held In check
When a police jury looks upon a
parish farm agent or a parish dem
onstration agent as an expense, !" it
is taking the wrong view of things.
These aids to agriculture pay their
own way, with compound Interest,
by increasing the meme from the
parish farms. II they don't do that,
the police jury should accept their
designations and get agents who can
pay their own way" We don't
know anything about the st. Tam
many farm agents, but they have
probably brought to its farmers

to grow on poor soils, provided they
are specially prepared by lining,
manuring, and inoculating. In gen
eral, however, crimson clover is g
crop for maintaining soils which are
already fairly productive than one
for inducing productivity in soils
where it is quite lacking"
Crimson clover is perhaps the most
important winter 1egume available
for this section. and as it provides a
balanced, ration for grazing with any
of the winter grains, it is obvious
that the farmer here should quickly
get his land in shape for it if he
wants to engage in the most profit
able kind of general farming. A
Well-drained soil and an enriched
soil, which are necessary for crimson
clover and also for the winter grains,
emphasize the value of drainage.
crimson clover does not thrive on
soils which are very poor, but On
well-drained soils in productive
condition crimson clover frequently
makes a vigorous growth, even
though the soil may show a high
lime requirement" which illustrates
the fact that drainage saves much
of the cost for commercial fertilizers.
Fertilizers and Drainage.
The following discussion copied
from Farmers Bulletin No. lib,
"Fall-Sown Oats" shows how much
money can be saved by the farmer
who goes into the business of grow
ing his fertilizers instead of depend
ing chiefly on commercial fertilizers;
it supplements what was said in last
weeks article by giving a practical
suggestion of good farm methods,
particularly as applied to- the oats
crop. "The kind and quality Of fer
tilizers to use for oats, as for other
crops, depend, largely on the nature
and fertility of the soil. Barnyard
manure is not usually available. in
sufficient quantities in the South to
be much of a factor, and therefore
dependence must be placed on green
manures and commercial fertilizers
The crop most commonly used for
green manuring in the South is cow
peas, though climson clover, vetch,
velvet beans, bur clover, peanuts and
red clover are among those available.
Cowpeas, soy beans and velvet beans
are among the best available crops to
Immediately precede oats. These
crops may be cut for hay, turning
under only the stubb'e and roots,
or the entire crop may be. used as
green manure The fertili4ng effect
on the following croHsis about the
same whether the stubble or the en-
tire plant is turned under, but the
vines add considerable humus and
improve the physical condition Of the
soil Z sIf the soil has been Hberat-
3y fertilized for other crops, phos-
phoric ac;d and potash need not be
added for oats. = Nitrogen is usE-
ally the limiting element in the pro-
duction Of oats on Southern soils.

There is much in St. Tammany,

demonstration agents to do. It's
farmers have an almost illimitablo
market for their products at hand.
BY showing them how to raise the

methods of marketing them, st.

RURAL "INFERloRITY"

In former years many country
people have had a feeling Of inferlo-
nty They felt abashed and behind
the times when they met city folks.
If any country people still feel that
way. they should get over 1t right
on City life dulls mentality, since
it has SO little to develop peoples
initiative. People sit in padded seats
at shows, and see some one else do
things. They do one thing over and
and over again in their work, and
they rarely get chance to plan for
themselves,
Country life gives people chance
to develop their own resources and
originality, both in its work and its
play, City people who come out In
these progressive times, should feel
behind the game, as they see how the
wide awake country folks keep In
touch with modern life and go ahead
I'm all directions.
