the LOUISIANA Delta FAR

The second annual fair conducted by
the Louisiana Delta Fair Association,
composed Of the parishes Of East Car
roll, Madison, and Tensas, held 1t Tai
lulsh, closed on Friday.
The fair was In every respect Q
great success. The exhibit Of live
stock, including horses, mules, several
different varieties of registered cattle,
hogs and sheep, with almost every
known variety of poultry, proved .
great surprise to the people of the
three parishes, - they did not
know and would not believe that our
section raised such quantities Of high
grade stock and poultry. In the agri.
cultural department could be found
almost every variety Of products from
sugar cane and sugar, the natural pro-
duct Of Cuba and Porto Rico, (the
gems Of the Indies,) to wheat and -four,
the natural products Of the frozen
North, showing that Louisiana can
raise the products of the different
States from Minnesota to the Gulf Of
Mexico, from which her soil is built
up.
In the ladies department was to be
seen an array of hand work OF all
kinds that caused the hundreds Of
ladies who visited the department to
hold their breath in admiration and
wonder.
OF special interest to all Of the Wis.
itors, was the splendid exhibit OF farm
products, live stock and poultry made
by the colored population to whom was
given the lower floor of the Court
House for their exhibits. The exhibits
shown in this department show what
great progress can be made by the
progressive colored citizens, and will
prove an incentive to others to try to
raise greater varieties of crops and
better crops.
The display worthy of more than
passing mention, was the farm exhibit
made by Mr.. Leo M. Shields OF East
Carroll parish. This exhibit was q
revelation, % It showed and proved
In the most positive and convincing
manner what can be raised on . farm
In Louisiana. In this collection wa
to be found al varieties Of garden
truck, in season: canned vegetables
and fruits, jellies, pickles, preserves
home cured meat, cotton, corn, wheat
and -four, soy beans land soy bear
meal, fruits Of various kinds, severs
varieties Of hay and other foragt
crops, and In fact moro than fifty Diff
ferent field and garden products. II
addition to al this, Mr.. shields had
splendid display OF live stock. II u
were possible, and We know OF M
reason Why It 10 not, this exhibi
should b held intact and sent to thu
State Fair ct Shreveport, and then b
put In . car and sent throughout tn
West and middle West % IN sdver
tasement Of the wonderful resource
OF Louisiana.
We congratulate the people of tn
Louisiana Delta on the success of tn
Fair, and We predict that the Fair o
1917 will be larger and finer than tn
ons just held.
Let every body start now and plsl
some exhibit for next year % that VI
can show the limitless possibilities o
the Louisiana Delta.
