LOUI..i ANA DEMONSTRA
ton TRAIN WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
Flood Destruction Will Carry
With the Building Aleng
New Lines.

The Louisiana Demonstration
Train has completed it's itinerary
and is being returned to Baton
Rouge for dismantling. The
authorities Of the several state
institutions represented on the
train express the hope that their
long continued efforts with the
train and the whole venture,
have accomplished their mission.
1t is positively ascertained that
over one hundred thousand peo-
pie visited the train during its
two months trip over the State
and that from the interest
demonstrated at all stops, the
! train must have proven Of bene-
fit to the communities visited.
The demonstration to the people
of the state of the possibilities of
the state when exhibited in the
form of actual results and the
resources of the various rural
industries developed through
scientific exploitation placed in
indisputable ocular evidence be-
fore their eyes, will not alone
teach lessons where they are
wanted in certain lines of agri-
cultural industry, but also bene-
fit the entire state through open
ing the eyes of the people of the
populated centers who have but
little knowledge of what the
rural sections are doing except
when adversely causes a short
age of the crop upon which these
communities and the entire state
depend.
The operation of the demon
stration was a singularly fortu-
nate event in that it preceded
the disasters resulting from the
overflow of the Mississippi and
tributaries which has caused
many of the parishes adjacent to
these streams to become seas of
water and therefore total agri-
cultural losses. These parishes
and communities must necessarily
enter upon a period of recon
struction and recuperation under
changed conditions and the les
sons taught by the demonstra-
ton train will come in timely
and opportune, for if there is to
be a rebuilding, that rebuilding
must be done along lines that
will promise an improvement
over the old regime, in many
ways defective.
As there is no cloud without
its silver lining and behind the
darkests mists the sun is still
shining, so may the present de-
plorable conditions wrought by
the visitation be utilized in some
measure to bring about reforms
in the rural sections which have
long been in demand and which,
if accomplished, would prove of
benefit to these sec
