Pursuant to announcement, Hon.

When Mr., Alexander first began
his race before the caucus. he

defeat Yardaman, or because ~he
was more opposed to Vardaman
than to other candidates. but be-

was voted out of the running by
his allies in the combine, he was
offered and accepted a position on

for the long term to begin March,

prospect for great yield and better
quality, as farmers were more careful In
selection of seed. The campaign made for
better corn and greater yield has awakened
a greater interest in corn growing. Already
farmers have cultivated twice and are
ready to cultivate the third time. Many de-
clare that they will pillow their corn -four
