With a substantial increase in pre-

Besides the regular State Fair pre-

dividuals and firms interested in the
progress of the Agricultural High
School movement in Louisiana.
At these schools the students are
given the benefit of practical lessons
in farming. They are instructed in
the most modern methods and shown
how to get the best results from their
efforts. That they have made wonder
