IN REPLY TO MR. LEWIS.
In another column will be found a letter from Mr. Lewis. While it is
addressed to the spublic, there is a tone of aggrievedness directed towards
the recent editorial in The Farmer criticising the manner in which the
St. Tammany exhibit was displayed at the Farm and Stock Show in New
Orleans. We believe the editorial in question was justified. We criticis
ed a condition that should not have existed, and we placed the responsi
bility for this condition upon no particular shoulders, leaving it for in
vestigation to show who was responsible. In fact, we stated, We do not
know who is responsible for this fiasco. We only know that some one
is responsible and that the matter should be sifted."
.Mr. Lewis' exposition in his letter is a questionable alleviation of the
responsibility of business management. Under the same circumstances,
a representative of private interests would have been espected to make
known at headquarters that those interests would suffer if means were not
provided to relieve conditions. It may have been that circumstances
necessitated some tall hustling to put St. Tammany on a display footing
with the other parishes, but the game was worth it. The late date at
which Mr. Lewis' letter was handed to us has prevented further investiga
tion, and these remarks are based entirely upon his letter and conversa
tion with him. W'hen the question of his re-appointment was lip, we ad
vocated his cause, having confidence in his ability, but that does not limit
the right to discuss matters of importance to the parish, even though it
may be sensitizing to him.
To criticise is not pleasant. It is an anomaly that unwelcomely creeps
in but that still must serve its purpose. The necessity for it is the thing
that must be regretted.
The complaints came from responsible citizens and members of the
Fair Association. It is stated that the exhibit was taken from the parish
fair, and was shipped by Mr. Lewis to himself instead of to the Farm and
Stock Show, which necessitated the hauling spoken of. Mr. Lewis had
behind him the Fair Association, the Association of Commerce and the
parish, and had his needs been made known provision could have been
made. As for advertising in The Farmer, we carried an abundance of it
for the parish fair, and a first page article stating that the parish would
exhibit at the Farm and Stock Show. There is much we could say if we
cared to go into it, but we have no ill feeling. Simply wish to show justihi
cation.

NOTICE TO FARMERS AND STOCK
MEN.
I am hereby not fyi all to whom
my work may concern, that on Jan.
1st, 1918, I will no longer ,ll the
office of Farm Demonstrator. I am
on this date (Nov. 28th) tendering
my resignation to take effect on that
date. I will go to fill a position
where I can make more money with
less worry and expense. The posi
tion of Farm Demonstrator does not
pay a salary to enable a man to live
in town and keep up with all expens
es connected with the job. Not only
that, but I am out $70 in cash money
this season for seeds that farmers
and gardeners failed to pay me for,
and over $100 for serum that has
not been paid for. I thank all
friends for favors and wish one and
all well. Some have said I knew
nothing about farming. That can be
seen the coming year. I am going
to farming in this parish or at least
run a farm for one of the best
equipped plants in the country.
With best wishes to all, I remain,
Yours very truly,
G. C. LEWIS,
Farm Demonstrator.
