points, we are not at the present time in
a position to give Donaldsonville the hene-

Story OF a Corn Club Boy.

The following story of one of the Match
itoches corn club boys. written by his
mother. will prove interesting reading
1t reveals in concrete form the possible
ties that lie in the boys corn club move
ment. Stephen is now off at school pre-
pairing to enter the College of Agriculture
of the Louisiana State University. 1t is
worthy Of note that, in spite of time lost
on account of a late freeze, Stephen cul-
tivated his corn five times. His manner
of preparing the seed bed and discarding
the plow after the first off-barring is a
great lesson in corn growing
The enclosed is a picture of Stephen
G. Henry of Melrose, La. who for the last
three years has been member of the
Schoolboys Corn Club. Natehitoches par
iih, Louisiana. Stephen enrolled in the
club when only IL years of age and has
become an enthusiastic little planter and
shows great interest in raising fine corn
according to scientific methods. He be-
gan with half an acre; and. borrowing a
team and tools from his father, ploWed,
planted and cultivated this piece of land
alone. raising 80 bushels to the acre,
which was bushels more than the
average here. On entering the corn at
the parish fair he was awarded first prize
for the best ten ears.
Feeling encouraged over these results,
Stephen took little more land and used
small amount of barn-yard manure.
He became anxious to learn the best
method of cultivating his land and re-
ceived great benefit from his agricultural
lessons and from the helps sent by the
] state and the department at Washington.
This year he averaged 40 bushels to the
acre.
With the help of his little employees,
Stephen built crib for his corn, most of
which he sold for seed corn, and, having
kept an account of his expenses. found
that he had cleared $3.50, not including
the prizes awarded him by the state and
/ his parish.
The third year Stephen cultivated 6
acres of river front land and acres of
new land. which he and his little hands
cleared and worked on Saturdays and
during the Christmas holidays. This year
| he applied all of his new knowledge. fer
/ tilizing his corn very highly and planting
several varieties of corn as an expert
ment. From his schoolboy corn he
gathered 92.3 barrels per acre, each barrel
weighing 81 lbs, and on his nine acres
he averaged 40 barrels, which is IS bar
rels higher than the general average here.
Stephen built another crib this year and
is hoping to add materially to his bank
account. Below you viii find an exact
copy Of the memoranda which he kept
last year.

To Those Who Aspire to Office

With this issue we present the
first announcement of a candidate
for office at the coming primary.
That calls to mind that The News
should announce its policy as to an
nouncing the candidacy of persoss
who will ask for nomination at the
primaries this fall.
The News being an independent
paper reaches all classes and per-
sons of all political bias or faith,
and is therefore a convenient medi-
UNI through which anyone may
reach the voters of any party in the
county. The fee for running a card
of this nature is $500 and pays for
its insertion up to the time of the
primaries. 1t also pays for space
of reasonable length in which for
one issue the friends of candidate
may present his claims for prefer
ment. The News will discuss pub
lie questions and possibly at times
refer to individual candidates as to
facts, but not as an advocate of
either party The policy of The
News is and will be that the inter-
ests of the Nation, the State, coun-
ty and the community are para
mount to either party or person.

c. e. Notes

Many interesting and helpful
thoughts were gained from the lesson
on Chrlsts, "verilies" Sunday even
ing. A good crowd was out and
the meeting good.
We were all glad to have Bro.
Hancks with us again Sunday. He
gave US some interesting facts con-
corning the convention and the
Chicago University in whose build
ings the convention was held.
The paper for the church is here
and will probably be on by next
Sunday. If any of the &. f. MEM
bers haven't had chance to help
and wish to do so you should see
the finance committee.
Miss Elma Burnett has returned
from a visit of several weeks in the
country and attended c. E. Sunday
evening. We are glad SO many
young people are taking such active
interest in our society.
One of the special features of the
program Sunday evening was solo
by Miss Ethel Innis. This is GER
tainly good way to help make the
Endeavor meetings success and
we would be glad if we could lave
something like this at every meet
ing.
The subject of our lesson next
Sunday is. "What is it to be
Christian" found in Acts 26:24:2o.
This is an interesting lesson so
don't miss it. Mr.. Fuhr is leader.
