The boys who are so fortunate
as to have both a patch of corn
and a pig should begin to feed
that corn to the pig now. Get
the pig in shape for the parish
fair.
The following premiums were
offered to the corn club members
at the parish fair last fall:
Greatest yield per acre: First
prize, $3.50; second, S.; third,
$3.50:
Greatest profit per acre: First
prize, $3.50; second, $500; third
$3.50.

second, SO; third, 81.
Best one ear: First prize, 81;
second, So; third. 81.
Best essay: First prize. So. co.;
second, 81; third, ST..
1t was a matter of considerable
surprise last year when | attend
ed the parish fair to see how few
of the premiums were taken up.
1t looked as if somebody had not
done their duty by the boys and
girls. feel quite sure that the
premium list will be even larger
this year, and l should like to
see very member in the parish
compete for some of the pre-
miumS.
The club members who made
the best yields of corn. and the
highest profit per acre last year,
were:
Leonard Dean, Montgomery,
1884 bushels, profit SAT. %.
Ezra Arlington, Black Creef,
55.3 80 bushels, profit $41.09.
Hugh Faircloth, Black Creek,
So bushels, profit $26.97.
feel sure that more corn than
this was raised by some of the
club members last year, but their
reports were misplaced. | also
feel sure that this record will be
broken this year. All reports
should be sent to Mr.. E. S. Rich.
ardson, Baton Rouge, La.
l hope to write you an article
on the pig club work soon.

Motor Drivinq in Germany.

1t is an astonishing fact that blind
man may drive a motorcar in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Anyone who has driv-
ing license, which can be obtained on
the payment of five shillings without
any test of qualification, is entitled to
drive car whether he is able to do
so or not.
The German method is in strong con-
trast to that of England. If German
wishes to drive a motorcar he must
first take out a one months tuition
license, which permits him to learn to
drive. At the end of the month he is
taken into the heart of large city
and. with an official by his side, is
made to drive in and out of the traf-
fic.
one little slip, slight hesitation in
slowing up, and back he is put for an
other month of tuition. There are
many cases in which even three
months tuition is insisted on, and
there are others in which licenses are
refused altogether. The result of this
is that the accident percentage in
Berlin is only half that of London
Manchester News.
