10 whom have also written.
We believe our people, in gen.
eral, business men as we'll as plan
ters should give every assistance
possible to make the institute a
grand success, and particularly in
attendance, we should use every
endeavor to get the farmers attend
the institute.
Farming in st. Martin parish is
progressing, and with improved
implements and new methods of
cultivation, our farmers have rea-
ched point of success which we
can term prosperity, as we believe
the farmers of st. Martin parish
as prosperous to-day as those of
are any other section of Louisiana,
and perhaps any other state.
Our farmers can learn more by
discussing agriculture with the
conductors of experiment stations,
and by exchanging their own
views and their manners of cult
waiting their own crops and the re-
suit they have attained.
The Messenger favors those in
stitutes, and it would like to see
our people take a lively interest
in the matter, and at once too. If
any assistance is given to Mr.. A.
A. Morrow the President of the
Farmers Club, we can safely pre-
dict that the institutes will be sue
cessful.
A meeting of the Farmers Club
will be held to-day to prepare and
fix programme, and to elect Off
GERS for the ensning year. All
the members are earnestly reques-
ted to be present.
