| w. ". Martin, Professor o
Agriculture, attended the Stat,
Fair at Shreveport the latter
part of last week. Mr.. Mar
tin was formerly. in the employ
OF the United States govern
ment in the service of the CroE
Pest Commission, which had al
unusually fine exhibit at the fair
and it was partly to keep il
touch with the new movements
in agriculture that Mr.. Martin
took advantage of this opportu-
nifty.
The State experiment stations
and the Crop Pest Commission
paid special attention this year
to the tick which causes Texas
fever among cattle, and every
hour Prof. Dodson, Director of
the experiment stations, deliver
ed lecture on how to free the
State from the Texas fever tick,
using a moving picture machine
to furnish the illustrations. On
Friday, Mr.. Martin states,
there was meeting of all of
hclals of parish fairs, together
with Col. Schiller, Commission
er of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton, and Col. Barrow, Secretary
of that Department.
All sections of the State sent
in glowing reports OF the ad
vancement in agriculture since
the organization of parish fair
in their midst, and plans were
laid for the organization OF
number of others. The rail
roads of the State, thru repres-
entatives at the fair, promised
to give very low rates to pas
sengers, and to freight which
might be shipped from one fair
to another. Dates for future
parish fairs will be arranged by |
the Commissioner OF Agricul-
ture, so that none will conflict,
and it is expected that the more
exhibits from each
fair will be seen at every other
one.
Miss Amy f. Young, who
was graduated from the steno-
yraphy department in 1906, is
now occupying the position of
'tenograPhy for Mr.. A. T,
Moursand, resident engineer of
he Southern Pacific system at
Lafayette.
