Tammany Parish.


Orleans proved greater success
than was anticipated, which Is say
ing a great deal when it is consid-
cred what great things were promis-
ed for it. 1t was one of the finest
exhibitions of stock that has ever
been made in the South, and must
have made an impression that Will
give encouragement to that industry
in Louisiana, which, although in its
infancy. is showing remarkable pro-
gress.
Aside from the great lessons to be
learned in stock raising, the Farm
and Stock Show is an exhibition OF
the willingness and desire OF New
Orleans to do something for the de-
velopment of the country surround
ing her. She has shown that she Is
aware of the fact that her future de-
pends largely upon the prosperity OF
the whole State, and in placing with

he accomplished by the adoption OF
methods that have prospered the
farmer and stock raiser of the North,
East and West she has made greater
progress in securing the friendly
feeling and cooperation of the rural
people so necessary for the benefit
of both.

As to the merits of the Farm and
Stock Show, we cannot do better
than to give the remarks of Mr.. NJ.
Nielsen, who is thoroughly cOmpe-
tent to speak on the subject. He is
Covington citizen, known to the
farmers of this section, and educat-
ed in the cattle business:
BY Mr.. Nielsen.
A visit to the National Farm and
Live Stock Show, now being held in
New ORLEANS, ought to convince the
most skeptical and doubling individ-
ual that the South not only can but
does compete and even surpass other
sections of the country in the pro-
duction of live stock and swine, as
well as agricultural products.

or arethe Kings and Queens of ami
maitland. Beef cattle, dairy cattle
and swine from the North and the

OF the Florida Parishes have to see
here what really good cattle and
swine look like. to say nothing OF
the wonderful agricultural, horticul-
tural and other displays brought
home to our very door. Are we
awake to the opportunity offered?
We have been reading about those
very things in the papers and heard
others talking about it, wishing that
1t might come near enough for us to
attend. Here it is, right now. The
i people in and around Covington
seem to be awake, Judging from the
number that daily visit this great
educational fair.
The most singular and outstanding
feature OF the entire show is that the
nnest OF the finest swine and cattle
are produced by Southern States
Louisiana not excepted. thereby re-
pudfating the often expressed idea
that fool notion that the South can
not produce live stock ard swine to
compete with other sections OF the
united States, when as a matter OF
lact we can do better than any other
section, ii we want to. Now let Us
see II this is so:
