We learn from j. G.. Lee, Com
missioner of Agriculture, that it
y contemplated to hold session
Of the State Farmers Institute at
Opeiousas about the latter part of
July provided our people evince a
desire of having the same here.
The session of this body held here
Few years ago was one of the
most successful in its history and
aHorded our agricultural friends
much valuable information on the
improved methods of scientific
work in their line through a most
interesting exchange of ideas and
experlence of its leading members.
\ Ihe people of Opelousas should
not allow this opportunity to
secure the Institute here to 90 by
without making an earnest effort
V do so, and no time should be
