Baton Rouge, April 20, 1916.
Messrs. Herman Schultz, President
Police Jury: E. E. Lyon, Supt. OF
Education, Covington, La.
Dear sirs:-The following state
ment Of the lines Ct work and duties
OF the parish demonstration agent is
made on your request for such in
formation.
The purpose of the demonstration
Work is 10 teach by objes. lessons.
These object lessons are to show the
results that can be obtained by the
application of better methods Of
farming. The farmer learns by do
ing and the demonstration agent
teaches by showing.
Each object lesson is a demonstra-
tion and may be OF corn, oats, hay,
truck or any other crop. The plan
OF the work is for the agent to have
from fifty to one hundred demon
strations located in the different
wards Of the parish according to pop
ulation and the cooperation that the
farmers chow him. The demonstra-
tions are located as publicly as
possible along public roads with the
farmers who will agree to follow the
demonstration methods in working
their demonstration crops. The idea
IS to influence as many people of the
community as possible to do better
farming through the success Of the
demonstration. The farmer is the
important cog in the machine as he
ls the demonstrator-the one who
does the work and who does the
proving or demonstrating. The DEM
cnstration agent is the one who acts
i Tor both the farmer and the farm
demonstration work. The agent
nr'ngs the message Of and informa-
elon about the better farming meth
ods, and helps the farmer to put tn
information to work on the demon.
stration. The farmer does the
work and reaps the benefit.
Live stock demonstrations are also
carried on with the farmers whe
want them by the parish agent and
ssae specialists from the Vuiversit,

in a peculiar situation, last week.
There should have been an election
for mayor and aldermen April Is,
but the town slept on its rights and
no election was ordered. To correct
this oversight it was decided to call
an election on May T. But there
we're legal difficulties in the way Of
this procedure, so petition was cir
culated asking the governor to order
an election. Meantime the officers
holding over are in doubt as to their
