Progressive Association.


We have noted that several of
the towns of this State have fol-
lowed the move started in New Or
leans some time ago, by organi-
zing in their midst, associations OF
their most enterprising and public
spirited people, under the name
of Progressive League, and every
one of these leagues is doing good
work in its locality.
The State Bureau of Agricul-
ture is also benefited by these as
sociations, through which valuable
information and assistance is OBJ
tanned, concerning each locality,
and in view of this fact, the State
Board of Agriculture and Immi-
grafton have addressed the follow
ing letter to Mayor Fournet, with
a view of encouraging the organi-
cation of similar organization
here:
Baton Rouge. March 8, 1903.
Dear Sir:
In replying to yours Of recent date.
This Department would be glad to have
you take up with some Of your citizens,
the organization Of an association to
encourage immigration and to induce
the investment of capital in your town
and parish. This organization need not
necessarily consist entirely of town peo-
pie. The farmer should be as much in
terested in this work as the merchants.
There Is every indication that both
capital and immigration are looking
Southwark. A great many Of the towns
in the State have already organized and
much good has already been accom-
plished. This bureau. the railroad COM
panies and others often want special
information and data about some parti.
cular section; but In community like
yours there IL no one to apply to, aud
the chances are that the data and In
formation we would like to'get has ne
yer been collected.
The ST. Louis Worlds Fair to be held
in 1904, will be an opportunity to expli-
cit and advertise our resources never be-
fore equaled in our history. The Com
mission will need the cooperation and
assistance Of citizens in every cOmmu
nifty to assist in collecting exhibits and
getting up advertising matter. An or
ganixation to take care Of such matters
as these, and all other propositions f0'
the general welfare of your community
will. In my opinion. bring about mucl
good.
| This Department will gladly co-0pe
rate with you and assist you In ever!
way it can. II you desire 1t. We viii
have representative from this Depart
ment present when you organize to en-
courage and help you In this work. Al
we ask is that you give us ample motto
Of time and place Of meeting.
Hoping that your afforts will b
crowned with success, / am, with bes
wishes, Very truly yours,
Il J.G. LEE,

CUT OUT THE "MIDDLEMAN.

A general betterment Of farming con-
ditions is most desirable. Nobody will
deny it. Farm products often are
much too low in price at least the farm
er gets too little for his investments and
his labor. "Middlemen" stand between
him and the public and take a large
share Of the profit that should go TO him,
as the producer. But it is doubtful if
any grand union of the farmers of the
country can be of benefit, even if the div
ersified interests of different sections
could be brought together and kept to-
gather One thing, however, seems toll
erably sure When the farmers want to
organize such union they will proceed
70 orgonize it themselves. they are
quite as capable of undertaking such a
movement as are the city men who are
trying to drive the farmers into tie
