Excerpt from Circular No; 2. Of the Louisiana Crop Pest Commission: Proceedings of the Second Annual Meeting
"The convention at Dallas resulted in a call by the Governor of this State for an extraordinary session of the Legislature. At this session, the Crop Pest Commission was organized, with a view of dealing with the subject, as well as with other insects calculated to injure our agriculture, and the sum of $25,000 was appropriated to carry on the work of the Commission. The last session of the Legislature also made ample provision for pushing the work of the Commission.
"The work to be accomplished in this State should be carried on under the direction and supervision of this Commission, which is composed of conservative men fully qualified to deal with the subject.
"The prosperity of the cities depend upon the farmers. In order that the cities may grow and prosper, it is necessary that the agricultural portion of the country produce a rich harvest, and upon the farmers' plow depend the future growth of this city.
"This city has developed from a small trading point to a great commercial center, with fifteen miles of well paved streets and a magnificent city railway service.
"It is to be hoped that when the sun shall have gone down on the finished work of this convention, that some solution will he suggested that will enable our people to continue the cultivation and production of cotton.
"Our business people have contributed liberally to entertain this convention, and in behalf of its officials and citizens, we hid you a most cordial welcome."
