EXCELLENT CORN EXHIBIT
Will Be Made at the Louisiana Stat,
Fair This Year.

The fact that Louisiana in the past
few years has come to the front as a
grain producing state has been dem
onstrated in a number of ways lately.
but in no manner has the demonstra.
ton been more convincing than it\siQ
be by the great corn display that IS
going to be shown at the state Fair
this year. Indications point to an un-
usually big collection in the exhibit
and the attention that the farmers and
business men are giving this product
nowadays gives assurance that there
will be throngs visiting the corn di-
vision.
considerable portion of the prem
ium appropriation has been set aside
for the corn exhibitors, as will be seen
from the catalogue which any person
can obtain by making request of Secre-
tary l. N. Brueggerhoff of Shreveport
The best ten ears will win sS5. But
this is only one of many offers that
are made. All that. an exhibitor is re-
quired to do in order to get his corn
on exhibit at the fair is to fill an en-
try blank by October % and ship his
corn prepaid to the State Fair AS
ISOLATION. The management of the fair
will do the rest.
Prof A F. Kidder, of the department
of agronomy at the Louisiana State
University of Baton Rouge, will be the
judge in this department. He is well
posted on grain products and is con-
sidered admirably fitted to perform the
duties required of an expert judge.
This exhibit will be separate from
the exhibit. of the boys corn clubs.
though both displays will be in the
same building, the agricultural hall.
which promises to be one of the most
popular at the fair. The corn industry
Is growing in popularity. The citizens
generally are interested and many will
come to the fair chiefly to see the corn
on display and get pointers about bet
tering their crops and profits.
Send for a catalogue for more data
about the corn exhibit at the fair. to
be held at Shreveport, from Oct. 80 to
Nov. 6.

The Parish Fair at Pollock.

The Grant Parish Fair has been
in successful progress at Pollock
four days this week, but owing
to an unusual press of office work
the Chronicle has not been able
to have a representative present.
We trust, however, that the man.
ayers will supply US with a full
list of the prizes awarded, and
we will be pleased to publish the
names of the winners.
Friday, the last day of the
fair, was School Day, and quite a
numerous contingent of the pu-
pills and citizens from Colfax and
this part of the parish, in auto
mobiles, buggies and other vehi-
cles, were present to take part in
the days exercises, either as par
Elephants or as patrons.

hoped that this uprising among
these down-trodden and abused
little countries will result in this
desired event.

Seven Years of Plenty.

1t is said that in the usual
course of events we have seven
years of plenty and then seven
years of famine. Old timers
tell US they have observed that
the seasons of fasting and feast
ing move in regular cycles every
seven years. We hope it is true
because we have undoubtedly
just passed through seven years
of famine in this country, with
the money panic, boil wevil, etc.,
aid now we are all in good trim
for seven years of plenty and
1912 looks like good beginning.

Last Monday night, Oct. ID, as
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was en-

ed 10 Oklahoma City until after
the year 1913; that contrary to
their expectation, you, as gov.

aud without their knowledge or

therefore, they were unprepared
