plicity and yet very effectively,
and with power, it was hard to
reslat. And withal not a word
that would create the slightest
suspicion of criticism of any

were IL accessions, 29for baptism

led by James T. Jolly of Dallas,
Texas was a very interesting
feature of the meeting. How he
did enlist the little folks and how
they did sing was som citing
wonderful. Such a thing has
not come to US before and
and may never come to Us again.

this he is correct, as the writer OF
this has Mr.. Humble's visits and
has been greatly helped. But,
lets see if the plan you submit is
practical one. You say he
should visit every farmer. DO
you know that there are 1900
farmers IN this parish? Now, to
visit every farm and spend suth-

require more time than it is pos

Say our agent visited 100 farms
a month, then it would take him
~ months to get to you Mr.. Red

you would get muth benefit out

called at your farm every nic-
teen months?
If yon had been a reader Of our

thereto, you would have noticed
articles written by Mr.. Humble
from time to time in which he
has stated that it was impossible
tor him to visit every farmer:
that he would gladly 90 so if he
could; that he had an office in
