The Good Government Leagues sug-
gestion that candidates be required to
answer categorically the several ques-
lions relative to their individual rela-
tions with the New Orleans ring,
said suggestions being offered by the
Leagues Executive Committee, and
published in these columns to-day. The
temper of the country is that there
shall be no coalition between it and
the New Orleans machine. The man
who depends upon the ring for his
election, and to whom he must give
important appointments is plainly not
the man the country wants, nor is he
the man that good citizens, whereso-
ever living, want for their governor.
Very important therefore are the ques-
tons, and most illuminative will be
the answers if sincere.

The Vermilion News thinks agricul-
tural instruction in school and college
waste of time and money, and sings
the old refrain: "The place to learn
farming is on the farm" True, if there
be some one there to teach it. Farm
ers, there are, who by thought, expert
ment and observation have wrought
out for themselves a theory and prac-
tice in farming efficient and successful.
But all men are not so wise, observant
or perseVering. For such as these, is
it not better to get their knowledge
more expeditiously and with less effort
through the experience of others? Is it
not better for every one, who would
farm, to get such information as others
may give him, rather than from bitter
experience? For what the schools
teach is only what has been discovered
by the experience of practical farmers.

Lovers of the good old days when
the word of Sanders was omnipotent
in Louisiana must have rejoiced to
read the roll-call of names of those
present at the ostensible conference in
New Orleans in the interests of Rufin
G. Pleasant. Every one of 1.-The old
guard" was there to answer, Here"
From every parish came at least one
of the happy brotherhood that signs
for a return to those days of power,
when everything was going their way.
Mr.. Pleasant may have construed the
demonstration as tribute to himself,
but others with longer range of vision
see it for what it was: gathering of
the Sanders clan, recruited by few
malcontents, and all working in the
interests OF the old chief, who is trying
to come back over Peasants shoulders.

CORN FOR EXHIBITION.

The corn exhibits at the fairs usually
have. the most perfect ears, that have
developed under conditions better than
those under which the general corn
crop is grown, and, also, that have
been carefully selected. Perfect ears
of corn are beautiful, and, as long as
we care to look at them, corn shows
will be held.
When corn is prepared for exhibit,
each ear should be as nearly as pos
sible like the others. and, in order to
have the same type in large number
of ears, careful selection Of seed
through many years must be made, as
a type is not established in one or two
years.
All corn exhibited is judged from
the standpoint of type, uniformity,
color, and soundness, as we'll as shape
|of the grain. Therefore, for one to
have a winning exhibit where there is
competition much care should be ex-
ercised in collecting it.
The corn score card, as adopted by
the Louisiana Corn Growers Associa-
ton, is given below A full explana-
ton of the score card will be given in
the Bulletin of next week.

that business men, bankers

these people criticise such a camapign
as this and stay away"
The subject of the evangelist's SER
