Jasper Boyett

Is a Winn Parish product and a man fast coming into prominence in his time, and 
while he is a farmer, operating a farm five miles north of Winnfield, this is 
practically his headquarters on account of the excellent rail road facilities.  

He is an older brother of J. W. Boyett, Jr., so well known throughout the state.  
He was born and reared in Winn Parish and made a success on the farm.  He is 
now state organizer in the Farmers' Union.  He has organized 94 local units in 
12 months and has been instrumental in erecting 22 warehouses at a cost of 
$ 50,000.  

The Union in the state is increasing at the rate of $ 1,000 a month, largely due to 
the unusual energies of Mr. Boyett in north Louisiana.  He has an excellent 
constitution, full of enerty and it is not a wonder that the Union has harnessed him.  
He has a wife and five children.  It is hoped that Winnfield will develop and attract 
more like him.
