Bureau, in charge of v. L. Roy. 1t
is claimed that one of the reasons
why Louisiana's average yield of
corn per acre has never yet come
up to that Of the country as whole
is found in the lack of properly bred
seed corn. Among the plans that
are being worked out for The i'm
provement of seed corn in this state
is the proposition to have this work
undertaken On the state convict
farm.

Piled her hostess, as she fiecked a bit
Of dust from the Gobelin tapestry. "All
the common folks in town seem to
want to crowd into our church lately.
It's too bad they amt satisfied to stay
where they belong. How did you ike
the sermon?" well, as a sermon it
was fairly good, but do wish Doctor
Goodman would quit splitting his In

nervous, but can't keep from being
shocked every time he does it" i
never let them kind of things bother
me, but that's where the Episcopals
have the advantage of US. If our
preacher would wear a long robe ne
could split them and we would never
notice it."-Kansas City Star.
