H. Humble. Era-Leader: Is I have read with no lice interest or pleasure the articles me that have appeared in your pa- rot per relative to the Farm Demon- I stration Agent, this is a matter votc that should have been kept out as I of p)Olitics entirely. But. my Ide, good friend bA Red Neck" out could not get his egg bag easy the until he jumped onto the Demon stration Agent with both feet, .IUr just to hit Mr. Smith for voting pay for the aplpropriation of the mag- wa niticient sum of "))0. of 1 This alone shows "A Rlied No Neck" to be a man of very nar- out row guage, and shows his total yo1 lack of knowledge of what thelcul Demonstration work stands for. ¶ When he said that he needed the kit help of the Demonstration Agent up I knew then that he way playing toi politics on Mr. Smith, as his ry second letter clearly shows that tro - he would not have accelpted my to Sadvice had called at his farm, as, lo he says that the trouble could be in remedied by employing a prac tical farmer, therefore, he does w not consider me a practical dt farmer, and as I am not a prac- to e tical farmer he would have no eli use for my advise. SNow, I don't know who you tE d are and dont care to know. I d f have tried to reach men who e ,s have broader ideas than you 11 have. I have no time for a 'x4 li j. man in any business. I r As to my not being a practical et farmer. I would like for you to define what you consider a prac- t tical farmer, if working on a farm for twenty-five years does not make a man a practical farmer what does it take to do so? !rs You say that 1 went ,t fishing. I certainly did and en or- joyed the sport very much. Now I suppose you figure that 1 owe ir- you iu particular tihe time I lost. ut, of Wcll, the government allows me a as many holidays as it does other id- employees, about six since I be out gan work in Washington Parish, and I have taken one, on the hasis of you i whlinings the P0 lice jury and ,ovj!rnmiODt Ow 5 me for tive days work thiAt I id not get. I am free to say that if every voter in Washiington parish was as much 0p1 ))Used to piLugreS iVe ideas as you are tihey would vote out time DemIonstrationl Agent if the l)Alris.h paid nothing. And yoU say that the polike jury hay's k;;c and the iople : pay the balan(-e. Well, tile onay way that you could p;ay any part of the salary is thru tile tari:V. ] Now, you sit down and nta i e out Imow Im uefl tarill you 1'ay and 1 you will have something to ',c a cupy you. If you are a fair sample of the e kind of peol)le who are to standl it up for the farmers of Washing g ton p)arishl God knows I am sor s ry for them. fI know to the con it trary., the good men of Washiing y ton parish don't need such fel s, lows as you to do their "Be-half e ilng." .c You may kick as much as you Ss wish but you will never stop the al demonstration work in Washing c- ton Parish, because, there is not no enough of your kind. The pur'l)se of this letter is to ou take a controversy off the shoul 1 ders of "A Demonstrator" who ho ever hlie is. ou The r most regretable thing x4 I in this whole matter is that I consider myself "A ied Neck" cal and have to be classed with a to man who knows so little about ac- the subject that he is trying to a write about. Now, for your in >es formation I shall say that the ical department of Agriculture In do structs me to take only fifty as demonstrators, in 1914 I bad ,ent fifty in corn and thirty-four in en- cottor, so you see I fudged a `ow little on the government. owe W.
