The Farmers Institute.

AS was seen by the communion
tien published in our last issue,
there will be held in Opelousas on
Monday, June Oath, a Farmers
Institute, conducted by Prof. w.
c. Stubbs, director of the Louis
lana Sugar Experiment Station.
We have on several previous
occasions had these Institutes in
our parish and the information
disseminated thereby was such
as to be vastly beneficial to our
agricultural population, hence we
urge the farmers throughout the
parish to be on hand for the COM
ing Institute.
In the ante-bellum days, when
practically all 6f our farmers
owned large plantations and nu-
merous slaves to work them, it
made very little difference how
little science and economy were
introduced into our agricultural
pursuits, as even poor crops un-
der those circumstances sufhced
to maintain the planters in lux
ury, and farming was, therefore,
to great extent carried on in a
slip-shod fashion. But those days
have passed, and to be a success
full farmer today one must be
thoroughly abreast of the latest
agricultural methods. The time
has passed when physical exertion
was the only factor necessary in
successful farming, and today
there is in none Of our great in
dustries & greater need for brains
and education than in the pur-
suit of agriculture. Intensive
farming and the application of
scientific methods in everything
connected with the farm is max
ing it possible for large part of
the agricultural class of our
country to realize much greater
returns for their labor, and if the
farmers of our particular section
desire to do likewise they must
study modern methods.
Among the ways open to the
farmers for educating themselves
along the lines of up-to-date agrl-
cultural methods, the Farmers
Institutes, conducted under the
State Bureau of Agriculture, stand
in the front rank. At these
Institutes the best methods of
farming are discussed by lectur-
ers, who, besides being highly
educated, are practical farmers ;
views upon all subjects relating to
agriculture are exchanged, and a
true and genuine interest is
awakened among our farmers at
these meetings. Valuable indeed
are the lessons learned from them.
The farmers of this parish
should take a deep interest in
this matter. Let all attend the
Institute here on the Oath and
engage in the work seriously,
and they will necessarily be ben
efted thereby.
