Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless.
He was resolute. decisive, quick to act

failed to get his man OH only one occa-

tenderness Of heart that was always 4

Wheat, Barley and Rye.

The acreage Of wheat, barley and
rye In Louisiana has not been sufti-
ciently large so far as to be considered
worthy Of note by either the state or
Federal agricultural authorities. The
difficulty has been to get varieties that
would stand the climatic conditions,
but we now have Abruxzes rye and
blue stem wheat that seem to have the
power of developing under Louisiana
conditions. There is no special variety
of barley that can be recommended
There has been an increase in the acre
age devoted to these three crops In the
last few years and the coming years
will. no doubt see still greater ad-
vancement,
To produce satisfactorily, the variety
cf these crops must be strictly South

have been grown in Louisiana for,
number OF years. The Abruzxes Ii the
