being introduced by Congressman L.
IL. Morgan. The governor paid com

interest and display. He reviewed
the resources of Louisiana, showing
that it was one of the first In the
Union in this respect. and he. PAID
especial stress upon Its great agr1'
cultural value and the scope OF tts
future development.
In speaking of the cane exhibit ir

no idea that we could raise such
cane in st. Tammany parish. He
said there is a great future for this
industry, and that every effort should
be put forth for it's development.

were warmly received and heartily
applauded.-
The people appreciated the gov.

both having cars at his disposal.
