Ten years ago, the man who would have proposed that corn be raised in LouisiaRa would have been laughed at as iditoic or weak minded.
 Five years ago the farmers of the Pelican state had advanced sufficient ly to try it, but one and all announced that 1t was impossible to make of corn crop that would bring money.
 In 1913 Louisiana raised S0.00o. .8ee bushels of corn, taking rank with Illinois and Iowa and other corn Gates.
 Ten years ago Loaisiana raised little except cotton, ssgar and rice.
 Today, Louisiana's cotton crop is a comparatively small factor. Her rice and sugar crops are virtually equalled in value by her corn crop alone, while her crops of peanuts, al falfa and peanut hay. hogs and cattle are astounding aesieulsuraI ssatistiei- are. 9
 At Baton Rouge, within the past fortnight, the cattle exhibition peas prepared at big fair were found in sufficient in sise to hold half the cat tle seat h fer exhibition. aad svss more remarkable was the fact that all the livestock displayed was thoroughbred stuff.

 A. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
 45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradlctlng and blaspheming.
 46. Then Paul and Barnabas waXed bold, and said, It was necessary tha' the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put u from you, and judge yourselves un- worthy of everlasting life, To, We turn to the Gentiles.
