New Orleans States.l

Denechaud, head Of the State Immi
grafton Office, one of the commission
ers to the exposition, left Sunday 70
San Francisco to spend six weeks IL
pointing out to the various judges tn,
superior quality of home products.
To date the victories Of Louisian,
exhibits have been remarkable N,
other statae has obtained such sigma
recognition in SO many different direc
tions. The fact that Louisiana has NJ
building at the exposition has evidentl,
played no part in the judgments Of thu
experts, who have unhesitatingly Sc
lected her products for the highes
honors bestowed.
1t was to be expected that this state
would make god showing in sugar
cotton and rice, but the medals award
ed thus far have covered a much larger
range of exhibits. If the triumphs Of
the first few weeks at the exposition
are continued, Louisiana will outstriI
her sister commonwealth in nearly
every field of competition.
The decisions of the judges have had
a tremendous effect in attracting the
attention of the country to this State
Farmers of the middle and far West
have had their eyes opened to the rich
ness of the soil which can produce
banner crops of corn, oats, hay and
other feed. The fruit exhibits also
have come in for great share of atten
ton. Other parts of the Louisiana ex
hibit which have received high honors
are caulifower, sweet potatoes, pea.
nuts, Irish potatoes and shrimp.
But these are only small part OF
the comprehensive exhibit arranged by
Prof. Robert Glepk, curator of the
State Museum. In order to see that
the remainder Of the list gets full con
|sideration, Mr.. Denechaud will be on
the spot until the last awards are
