Jack Dillard, agricultural editor of ''The Shreveport Times'', noted that Wallace not only created ''This Week in Louisiana Agriculture'' but developed and produced  the series. "He had the ability to tell the farmer’s story and always passed the credit on to Louisiana farmers and the Louisiana Farm Bureau. He will go into the history of Louisiana agriculture as one of its most honest and dedicated 'man of his time.'
