TO SAVE YOUR CORN.

A gentleman Of this city who has
followed the pillow eighteen or TWEEN
ty years requests this paper to tell it,
readers how to guard against corn
rottlng in the field. He says the
farmers may all know It, but few of
them have thought to try it. BY
bending the stalk just below the ear,
SO the small or open end will hang
toward the ground, the water sheds
off and the corn is preserved sound as
a dollar.
It is worth while for the farmers
of the country to act on this sugges-
ton. The corn is rottiog badly now,
aud every precautlon should be taken
to save the balance .-Clarion Ledger

LOUISIANA STATE FAIR
And Shreveport Exposition,

ma ohFeVep0rt Exposition.
They are SYNONYMOUS terms. for
the Shreveport exposition is the State
Fair Of the Pelican State.
The PROGRESS has always endeav-
ored to further the best interests of
the farmers, the agriculturalists,
upon whom. strictly speaking, the
welfare of the country depends.
They are the producers of the me-
cessities of life, and upon their toll.
their skilled knowledge of how to
induce Mother Earth to yield tbs
best and largest products of the
labor, depends the question as to
whether or not the great masses OF
the people can live comfortably. or
barely exist.
1t is the farmer who plows the
ground, who plants the seed, who
cultlvates the growing crop, and who
should reap the harvest of his toll,
which from the grain fields of the
West, the cotton and sugar farms or
plantations of the South furnishes
primarily the subsistence and cloth
ing of tho millions of not only wage
earners, but even the wealthy capi4
falists of the world.
To the farmers then, especially,
should tho State Fair prove particu-
larly attractive. They are not fairs
in the strict sense of the word, but
exposltions-an illustration of what
brother farmers are doing-a plain
practical showing of what common
sense, experiments and good judg-
ment can do in procuring best results
from the least outlay in tilling the
soil, in fact in interchange of ideas
as regards profitable farming.
TO accomplish this desirable result,
an Exposition, such as Shreveport's
has always been, and the next one
will be, is a veritable school of knowl-
edge, or an agricultural college in its
exhibits.
1t offers premiums to the farmer
especially in all Of the departments
which would prove of especial inter-
est to him. 80
Send to Secretary Koran for cat
alogue, and look at the list-the Az
ricultural, the Horse. Cattle, Swine,
Sheep, Poultry and horticultural de-
partments-all offer splendid pre-
miums to the farmer to make exhibits
of tue best result of his labor in each
and all, while the Ladies, the Floral
and the Art Departments offer strong
attractions to his wife and daughters,
as does the Educational, to not only
his children, but their parents for
them.
Mechanics, and the improvements
in the line of labor saving machinery,
also form, and will be an important
feature of the Exposition. while as
all naturally wish pleasure combined
with instruction, the managers of tbs
Exposition have already secured such
varied attractions, including exciting
races, delightful music, brilliant
pyrotechnical displays, and in fact
everything that can be obtained to
please all tastes, az to make a thor
ough]y enjoyable time assured to all
who attend Shreveports Ninth An

the tendency is upward. Last year
at this time it sold at % cents, and
was almost drug at that price.
Western farmers have made the

save their corn and then use it as
