GOVERNMENT WILL HELP,
Uncle Sans Demonstration Agents at
tha Louisiana Fair


Louisiana owes as much, perhaps, to
the cooperative farm demonstration
work of the United States department
of agriculture as to any other agency
of modern times, and to give a fair
without some attention being shown
this work would be to omit a very i'm
portant feature pertaining to the de
velopment of the states Resources. Put
to omit this feature is st eZactis
what the management. OF the fair *
not going to do. Instead, the farm
demonstration work is going to come
in for prominence at the fair, Oct. ga
to Nov. 6.
In order to have the exhibits of thie
department displayed 70 good afvan-
tage the association has set side a
portion of the agricultural hail.. It ;s
expected that the space will be filled
as the government never loses chance
to encourage movements that tend Ia
help in the development of agricultul
al pursuits and considers state fa.r
one of the hest for this purpose. Mason
