To Farmers. Progressive Leagues and
all whom it may concern:-
The time is exceedingly pro-
pitiOus for greater stimulus
being given the subject of Agri-
cultural Fairs, throughout the
State.
Our State is again in a pros
porous condition, and it should
behOove every patriotic citizen,
endowed with civic pride, to
make his parish, cites and
towns Innre progressive and ag-
gressive than ever before in their
history. Other Southern States
are moving actively along such
lines, and many Of them, notably
Georgia, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina and Virginia,
have succeeded in holding most
creditable fairs, both of a State
and local character, comparing
most favOrably with similar Or
CARNATIONS in other parts of the
country.
IL many of the parishes of the
State successful permanent fair
organizations have already been
established. Still there are
others who have not. as yet,
given sufficient serious consider
alton to these important institu-
tons. 1t is to be sincerely
urged, therefore, that all such
parishes should seriously con-
slider the matter. look at it from
the standpoint of a business
proposition, work earnestly and
concertedly in behalf of. first,
the parish fair, secondly, the dis
trict fair, and ultimately an or
ganizatiOn that will be worthy
the name of a great State agri-
cultural and livestock exhibition.
Our business men and farmers,
with the promised cooperation
of the railroads, manufacturers
of farm machinery, implements,
etc., are awakening to this inn
p0rtant method of publishing to
the world the splendid resources
of their respective parishes. In
fact the latter are only awaiting
the opportunity to cooperate
with the former, which would
mean mutual benefit. The far
mers are already being much
impressed by this progressive
and are anxiously de-

exhibit their products in this
