the courtroom; his listeners ap-
preciated his talk exceedingly.
After Tuesday night the con-
vention went into executive ses-
sion. but occasionally a speaker
would be allowed to address the
delegates and the public. One
of the most interesting talks de-
livered on Wednesday was that
of w. CT Chevis, able manager
of the Southwestern Louisiana
DEVELOPMENT Bureau. He spoke
in behalf of the tick eradication,
showing the farmers that the
cattle in this state would bring
more on the market if they were
free from ticks. He also spoke
considerably on drainage.
President I. bI. MeCollister in
his annual report expressed the
belief that the farmers union,
with several thousand more
members IN the state, would not
only reduce The cost of high liv-
ing for The farmers but would
make the Louisiana farms a big
paying proposition. The farmers
he pointed out, should cooperate
and the best way to do so is to
follow the precepts of the Farm
ers' Union. Ii the farmers were
organized they would send their
own Congressman to Washington
to take care Of their interest.
He said that the Union was on
the right track and was already
succeeding in getting better
prices for farm products.
Mr.. McCollister viewed the
work performed in this state;
saying that he often neglected
his own private business to pro-
mote the interest of the organi-
zation and that he would continue
doing 50 as a private, when his
successor would be appointed.
There were fifteen new locals
organized and over four hundred
added to the membership Of the
Farmers Union during the past
yean.
After Mr.. McCollister deliver
Ell his presidential address the
convention went into executive
session once more and the various
committees made their reports.
Miss Hester Oubre, chairman
OF the committee on education,
reported that proper education
was very essential to the fsrm-
ers. This committee reported
that the State University should

of the men who control America
to-day, and will always be.
Louisiana with her fertile
soil and her mild climate offers
more to the progressive farmer
than any other state in the
Union. The more | see of the
other states, as great as they
are, the more | am convinced
that ours is the garden spot of
the United States"
DR.. Lazaro considers the
health and happiness of the
farmers of the most vital i'm
portance. He stated that organ
ization and cooperation by the
farmers are the surest way to
success; they should cooperate
with one another and induce the
merchants and business men to
cooperate with them. Third,
he said, cheaper money and
longer terms on which to oper-
ate your farm. I believe the
last Congress passed a sound
banking and currency law which
will prevent in the future such
panics as. we have had in the
PASTOR instance the panic of
1907. | believe it means better
financial, commercial and indus
trial conditions in the United
States. 1t provides for the mo-
bilization Of the resources of all
the member banks, thereby
keeping them liquid and quickly
available in case of emergency.
I expect to see the next Congress
pass a rural credit bill which will
give the farmers of this country
the same advantages that the
farmers Of Germany and France
have enjoyed for many years
and which would help our agri-
cultural resources. which is the
foundation of all prosperity.
st. Landry's distinguished son,
who has been representing the.
district in Congress for the past
two years, spoke to the farmer
about good roads. advising them

New Orleans, for his effort in
perfecting the Nv
warehouse plan, SAVING that this
plan would be the greatest boone
for the farmers. He severely
criticised those dealing IN futures
telling the farmers t.i it vas
only through their lack of CO.
operation that the gamblers made
their big money.
A. G. Davis, natiot al secre-
tary, was one of the principal
speakers on Tuesday night. Mr..
Davis is from Arkansas and
pointed out to the Louisiana far
mers the progress made by their
Arkansas brethren. He said:
You must cooperate and work
with other farmers union. Your
problem is the problem of the
entire United States; to economi-
cally produce and distribute food.

Superintendent of state pub
lie schools I. Fl. Harris delivered
a masterpiece on the education
of the farmers. He pointed out
the many deficiencies now in the
present system and stated that
the day would come when the
