FitzSimons Grocery Company St. Tammany Farmer ID. B. Mion, Edmtor - Propriftor. 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. NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! FOR SALE-Car load of good young mules. Cheap.

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.
