Why Not A Parish Fair?

Prof. V. L. Roy will be here on
Tuesday, May 9Th, to meet and
discuss with the people of this
parish, regarding the ACCESSIBILITY
of organizing a Parish Fair.
There is no doubt about the
good that would come from a
movement of this kind. Our far
mers need just such an educa.
ton as they will get from a
parish fair. The corn club has
done much good, but the farmer
needs to branch out into other
lines. Our sister parish, Tangi.
pahoa, has a money crop in
strawberries alone that brings
her more money than our cotton
crop, under the very best con.
ditions and at a price of 25 cents
per pound. would bring to this
parish. We need to learn how
we can make other crops pay.
We need to learn more stock
raising. chicken raising, etc.
All of these things will be en-.
couraged by a fair of this kind
It is of vital Importance for the
banks and other business enter
prises to become interested in
this movement. We are passing
through a crisis and if we ac'
wisely, the boil weevil will prove
to be Of great benefit to US.

The Truck Growers AssOcIa.
ton of Franklinton, made several
shipments of beans and Irish
potatoes. In our sister parish,
Tangipahoa, the strawberry crop
alone has amounted to more than
three million dollars this year,
besides the many other profitable
crops. We can see no reason
why this parish could not do just
as well. There is no question as
to the adaptibility of our soil.
We believe that the time is not
far distant when truck growing
in Washington parish will be the
money crop.
