RAILROADS AND AGRICULTURE.

1
The railroads of Louisiana have
during the last six months shown
very commendable spirit in help
ing the farmers along their lines.
1t is admitted that the purpose of
the roads in fostering agriculture Is
to develop trade, but this cannot be
accomplished until the farmer has
first profited as result of the better
methods advocated by the railroads.
In almost every instance of the
operation of agricultural trains in
Louisiana, the actual work of in
struction has been in charge of Di-
rector W r. Dodson, dean of the
college of agriculture of the Louisi-
ana State University, and has been
done by members Of the college staff.
The first train operated for agri-
cultural purposes in Louisiana was
the Southern Pacific Demonstration,
which ran from October to Is,
1910, carried eight cars, a dozen
lecturers and was visited by more
than $4,000 persons. This was fol-
lowed by a hog special operated on
the ", S. & P. in cooperation with
Mr.. Hestand of the Fort Worth
Stock Yards. Then came the series
of farmers Institutes held January
~ to February 1, 1911, by members
OF the college faculty under the aus
-pices of Mr.. L. A. Markham, agri-
cultural commissioner of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. This was followed by
the Hog and Corn Special of the
Rock Island, February Is to Is,
1911. This train was accompanied
by six members of the University
faculty, and two instructors from
the Industrial Institutes at Lafayette
and Ruston. This train was, during
the space of four days, visited by
$4,000 persons. The next agricul-
tural train in Louisiana will be run
Dy the X. c. S., February 27 to
March 2, and will be Joined at the
Arkansas line by Prof. v. L. Roy,
During the last two weeks of March
q coach will be furnished by the
Rock Island and equipped by the
College of Agriculture, and will run
from Eunice to the Arkansas line,
This train will make stops varying
from half day to awhole day
at each of twenty or more points
along the. Rock Island line, and farm
ers' meeting to be held at eacn point.
plan is now under consideration
by the authorities of the University
and College of Agriculture to equip
three er four cars and run these,
in cooperation with the railroads Of
the, State, during the winter of 1911
1912.

She wore no mask, but was painted
in true Indian fashion.

Mr. H. B. Pruden who was chosen
king of the carnival, under the title
of Chief Tamanand, is a new conner
to st. Tammany parish, in fact is
new to the South. He is a man of
great public spirit and genial dispo-
sition and has become popular be-
cause of the heartiness with which
he has received all propositions for
the advancement of the parish. He
upheld the character of his assump-
tion.
