purity and wholesomeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable

"Louisiana with her fertile
soil and her mild climate ~ffers
more to the progressive farmer
than any other state in the
Union. The more I see of the
other states, as great as they
are, the more I am convinced
that ours is the garden spot of
the United States."
Dr. Lazaro considers the
health and happiness of the
farmers of the most vital im
portance. He stated that organ
ization and co-operation by the
farmers are the surest way to
success; they should co-operate
with one another and induce the
merchants and business men to
co-operate with them. "Third,"
he said, "cheaper money and
longer terms on which to oner
ate your farm. I believe the
last Congress passed a sound
banking and currency law which
will prevent in the future such
panics as, we have had in the
past-for instance the panic of
1907. I believe it means better
financial, commercial and indus
trial conditions in the United
. States. It provides for the mo
bilization of the resources of all
the member banks, thereby
keeping them liquid and quickly
available in case of emergency.
I expect to see the next Congress
pus a rural credit bill which will
give the farmers of this country
the same advantages that the
farmers of Germany and France
have enjoyed for many years
and which would help our agri
cultural resources, which is the
foundation of all prosperity."
St. Landry's distinguished son, I
who has been representing the
district in Congress for the past
two years, spoke to th farL..
about good roads, advising them,
to take advantage ,' `he gŽi
roads law and c:;st: e modl
highways. Hed,,l -:.in.r
on the importact :
gap between the sc, -. a:, i

and the practice ,a ..Siiu,
-as iwe find it on !'
He praised L:, . :
`best state in the , yi.
that more people
as soon as they reaizs what thet
farmers of Louisiana are doing
to better conditions.
R. D. Bowen, of Paris, Texas,
praised Mr. W. B. Thomp.;,, cf
New Orleans, for his eLfort in
perfecting the NA\ ." -. '
warehouse plan, savinge that this
plan would be the greatest boone1
for the farmers. He seRereiy
·criticised those dealing nm utures
telling the farmers t. ; it was
only through their lack of co
operation that the gamblers made
their big money.
A,. C. Davis, natioial secre
tary, was one of the principal
speakers on Tuesday night. Mr.
Davis is from Arkansas and
pointed out to the Louisiana far
mers the progress made by their
Arkansas brethern, He said:'
'You must co-operate and work
with other farmers' union. Your
problem is the problem of the
entire United States; to economi
eally produce and distribute food.
Transportation and marketing
are the big problems for the Lou
isiana farmers now to solve."
Superintendent of state pub
lic schools T. H. Harris delivered
a masterpiece on the education
of the farmers. He pointed out
the many deficiencies now in the
present system and stated that
ithe day would come when the
princil i ' every country school
would ho a man who owned his
own F1me arid plantation, next
to the school, where the young
farming generation would be
taught scientific farming. Mr.
Harris spoke in a masterly man
ner, his voice resounding all over
the courtý'cn::1; his listeners ap
preciated his talk exceedingly.
After Tuesday night the con
vention went into executive ses
sion, but occ:si.ally a speaker
would be allowed to address the
delegates and the public. One
of the most interesting talks de
livered on Wednesday was that
of W. C.A Chevis, able manager
of the Southwestern Louisiana
Developerment Bureau. He spoke
in behalf of the tick eradication,
showing the farmers that the
cattle in this state would bring
more on tihe market if they were
free from ticks. He also spoke
conside taliy on drainage.
President I. M. McCollister in
his annual report expressed the
belief that the larmers' union,
with several thousand more
members in the state, would not
only reduce the cost of high liv
ing for 'he farmers but' would
make the Louisiana farms a big
paying proposition. The farmers
he pointed out, should co-operate
and the best way to do so is to
follow the precepts of the Farm
ers' Union. If the farmers were
organized they would send their
own Congressmen to Washington
to take care of their interest.
He said that the Union was on
the right track and was already
succeeding in getting better
prices for farm products.
Mr. McCollister viewed the
work performed in this state;
saying that he often neglected
his own private business to pro
mote tne interest of the organi
zation and that he would continue
doing so as a private, when his
successor would be appointed.
Thf'e were fifteen new locals
organized and over four hundred
added to the membership of the

comm itees made their reports.
Mhis H:eser Oubre, chairman
of the committee on education,
reporte,, thbat proper education
was very essential to the f rm
ers. This committee reported
that the State University should
be so located that the people
would have easy access to it, and
that tnis university should have
.two hundred acres of ground,
where the studerts could be
taugh,: ow to farm scientifically.
ine committee on cotton and
cottonseed recommended a suffi

enable farmers to raise their own
home supplies and thereby make
cotton the money and not the
mortgage crop.
The executive committee,
through chairman Mills, reported
the appointment of J. H. Craig,
as general cotton and cottonseed
agents.
The committee reports were all
calculated to improve the condi
tion of the farmers and the mem
bers of these committees took
special pains to have every im
portant point incorporated in the
report.
On Wednesday evening little
Bobbie Dunbar, who was the
center of one of the most sensa
tional and unique kidnaping cases
was brought into the courtroom
and every delegate allowed to
shake hands with the boy of
mystery.
After a most interesting execu
tive session the convention ad
journed on Tuesday night until
Thursday morning. The first
speaker that day was Father
Grace, president of St. Charles
Colldge, who spoke on education.
Father Grace had been asked to
say the opening prayer; after he
had performed this duty he was
asked to speak on education.
Father Grace spoke on the im
portance of education, explaining
to the farmers that education
meant leading out of ignorance
into culture and refinement.
In order to make farming a suc
cessful industry in this state the
young country boy and girl had
to be given an education. With
out education, Father Grace said
that scientific farming was
out of the question.
Assistant Agricultural Agent
Star, of the Texas and Pacific
railroad, chose live stock as his
subject. He explained that if
the farmers of Louisiana were to
raise live stock in connection
with their farm, they would
quickly solve the high cost of
living question. He laid stress
on the fact that the farmers
should raise only the best, as the
markets demanded standard
goods.
The three day convention was
successfully closed on Thursday
night, when President McCol
listee struck his gavel and in
formed his brother members that
the best of 'friends must part,
All the officers were rejoicing as
they were all unanimously re
elected. Following are the of
ficers chosen last Thursday
night for the ensuing year:
President, I. N. McCollister,
Many; vice presidentJ. M. Davis,
Rayne; secretary-treasury, Miss
Minnie E. Carron, Eunice. Ex
ecutive committee: R. Lee Mills,
Opelousas, chairman; S. B. Da
vid, Sharpsburg, secretary; J. H.
Craig, Grand Cane; H. A. Mor
gan, St. Elmo; T. H. Hale,
Rapides parish.
By Friday evening every dele
gate had left Opelousas satis
fied that they had never been
treated in such a hospitable man
ner, since the organization of
the Farmers' Union in this state.
They claimed that this conven
tion even surpassed the one of
1909, when they then pro
nounced Opelousas as the ideal
convention city of Louisiana.
Canned Goods.
Mr. Lawrence Pitre, who re
sides about two miles from this
city on the Washington road,
brought into town on Tuesday
morning exhibits of the canned.
goods he had put up from off his
own farm during the year. Mr.
Pitre was most successful this
season in the canning industry
and bids fare to reduce the high
cost of living by continuing
using his Sthal's canner, which
he recently purchased.
Mr. Pitre left a sample of his
goods at the Clarion, which was
very highly appreciated.
Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Decuir, of
Anchor, were the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Yves Andrepont for
several days this week.
Miss Pauline Andrus, of Crow
