Eighteen business men of Middle.
bury town and village answered the in.
vitation of Phillip Manchester to meet
with him in the Womans Club room
last Friday evening to discuss the or.
ganlzation of a local Golf Club. So
lively was the interest shown in the
discussion of the project that definite
plans were made for the promotion Of
the club by the pledgng of a charter
roster OF 10 members, the immediate
lease OF links and the breaking of
ground.
Phillip Manchester was elected presi

Blackmer vice-president and H. Har.
Old Stone secretary. These officers
and Professors W. S. Burrage, P. N

as a committee on membership and in

report that they have been very sue
cessiul in their drive for membership
and are hopeful Of readily attaining
their mark.
1t was resolved to break ground
within week or ten days, as soon as a.
location could be secured Several
sites were proposed for the course. but
he choice was made of the Porter
Field tract ii the lease of the land
could be obtained from the college.
This field was approved of by ali
particularly because OF the water haz.
ard provided by the small pond. There
are about 30 acres in the proposed
course In the event of the failure to
secure the permission of the college for
The Porter Field course, the members
made a second choice of large mead

ora, and statesmen look right
straight at some figures which
we're taken from the census of
1910, compared with that of 1920,
and study them long enough for it
TO soak in as to just what they
mean. Now put on your glasses
and take a good long look.
Less than II per cent Of all the
area in Washington Parish is be.
ing cultivated. That means that
less than Il acres out of each 100
is being pIowed, Less than two
per cent of all the area of St. Tam
many Parish is being cultivated.
That means less than two acres
out Of each 100 acres is being
powed. In 1910 there were in
Washington Parish 1,715 farm
units, or separate farms. In 1920
there 2, 1855 farm units in Wash.
ington Parish. This shows an
increase Of 450 units covering a
period OF ten years.
In 1910 there was in st. Tam.
many Parish a total Of 626 farms,
and in 1920 there was a total of
672 farms. This shows an in
crease in st. Tammany Parish
over aperiod of ten years of 46
units.
Now what does the above fig
ures signify? Does it mean that
the lands in these two parishes
cannot be farued profitably? By
no manner of means. Yet at the
same time we do not want to fool
ourselves by thinking that our
faretathers and the people who
have gone before US in this coun-
Try, covering more than a centu.
~ Of time, have fooled themselves
in not putting some of this land
10 cultivation.
The point we make is, that
where the conditions have been
such to make farming profitable
the land has been cleared, and is
being cultivated. Location and
tasmarketing facilities contribute
almost as much toward successful
growing of ordinary farm crops
and track as does the character Of
he soil make for successful agri-'
allure. Farming conditions it is
very true, can be improved, and
ought to be improved steadily in
any community. Farming is a
aggressive game. The progress
ave farming methods are more
likely to decrease the acreage by
extensive cultivation, rather than
lHogease the area.
In analyzing the situation in
ms Parishes in question, Wash
lngton and st. Tammany, and in
''ylng to apply these things We
Will make in the future for safe

ing with reference to the land
owned by the farming class of
people, has now practically all
oeen denuded of its trees, and
that per cent Of the land owned
oy the lumoermen is being rapid,
ly denuded of its trees. The de-
nundation of trees has gone on
with little or no thought in the
past OF a regeneration and a re.
stocking of the cut-over areas.
This neglect has begun to tell
nightly in our climate. The fill
ing in OF our beautiful brooks and
streams, caused by excessive rain.
falls, and the washing away of
the hlllsldes are destroying our
fish. Added to which comes along
our annual wildwood fires which
destroys vegetation and the pos
slolllty OF refOrestation, and has
driven the wild game from their
native haunts.
One of the lessons we should
get by thus reading the book of
nature, is that unless the people
at once turn their attention to-
ward such protective measures,
that will guarantee restocking
OF all waste and idle lands with
trees, cant expect for a long time
to come to reap a full benefit by a
maximum production from the
soil. 1t matters not what our call
ing or profession may be, we must
all depend ultimately and finally
on the production of the soil.
When the lumbermen have fin.
ished their cut in Washington
Parish according to the 1920 GEN.
sus figures, We will then have in
Washington Parish SO loafing
acres to each II producing acres,
and in St. Tammany Parish we
will have 50 loafing acres to two
producing acres, These statistics
will no doubt to a large extent,
hold good in all of the piny wood
parishes of Louisiana and Missip
pi. Think We that 12 producing
acres out of each 100 acres will be
sufficient to support our towns
and cities, and schools and build
good roads, and furnish sufficient
