Dear Sir:-The time is now ap-
preaching when the crops Of Louisi
ana are maturing in the fields, and
as it is the purpose Of the immlgra-
ton division to cooperate with the
Louisiana State Museum at New Or
leans in securing first-class exhibit
Of the agricultural resources of the
state, I would be pleased to secure
your assistance toward this end.
The state .maiafains at New Or
leans the best display Of its re-
sources, an exhibit which compares
most favorably with any agricultural
esaasplay in the south, ard 1t is our
idea to have this exhibit replenished |
this season.
We also desire large amount of
samples of Louisiana products for
exposition purposes. It is possible
Louisiana may have an agricultural
exhibit at the San Francisco exposi-
ton, and if so, it will be necessary
that we have thoroughly compre-
hensive agricultural exhibit.
We wish also to obtain material
Tor other exposition purposes. such
as at land shows; then, too, we may
have an exhibit at the Internationa,
Dfy Farming Exposition at Wichita,
Kansas.
Our object in having these exhib.
IT'S IS to show to the homeseeker and
the investor just what Louisiana has
to offer.
VIII you be kind enough to use
your best efforts to secure material
from the crops that are now growing
II The territory traversed by the |
IeSas and Pacific Railroad and hayel
same sent to Prof. Robert G1enk,
curator of the Louisiana State
Museum,
