that is the one and only argument

Boys and Girls Enrolled for the Pro.
ductiOn of Food.

When the United States enter
ed the war an urgent appeal was
sent to the farm and home DEM
onstration agents in the Soutl, r.
push the enrolment IN the en-.
rollment Of boys and girls for the
production of food and feed.
In response to this appeal the
enrolment In the regular boys
clubs was increased from rs, COS
in 1916 to 115,7 45 in 1917. In
the fifteen Southern States there
were 40, 1874 corn club members
who produced 1,135, SIG bushels
OF corr obtaining an average
yield of 1877 bushels per acre.
The value of this corn is conser-
vatively estimated to be 81, $685.
355. Owing to the drouth Texas
made the lowest yield per acre
and Louisiana was next lowest
for the same reason. There
were 31,875 pig club members
whose animals were estimated to
be worth 81. l60. sos.

The War Industries Board has
adopted some very stringent reg
ulations for the newspapers. All
weekly newspapers have been or
dered to cut their circulation
down Is per cent.
The order goes into effect Sept.
Is, and the Chronicle is making
arrangements to come within the

charitable and elemOsenary insti-
tuti0ns.
On September first bills will be
mailed to all persons whose sub
scriptions are past due or will
fall due during the month of
September, and we shall expect
them to pay up by Sept. Is. All
subscriptions are due and payable
at the rate of $1.50 in advance,
and subscribers who fail to re-
new and pay in advance will be
dropped from our mailing list.
In order to get in needed cash
and induce payment in advance,
we make the special offer to give
two years subscription for $3.50.
This offer holds good until Sept.
Is, and persons who desire to do
SO may pay for A years for $500.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
BY R. L. Sloan
About the Growing of Wheat.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

AOOos sAtS 0AOWihS VI w hSoss
Owing to the difficulty of Sc
curing flour thousands of far
mers will sow wheat this fall
who never grew the crop before.
While the parish has neither the
soil nor the climate to compete
with the commercial wheat belt
it will doubtless be worth the
farmers effort to grow a few
acres.
In the first place select stiff,
rich land on which to SOW wheat,
as it will not do well on very
light sandy soils. Wheat may
follow corn or cotton but will do
better after cotton. When sowed
on land that has been in cultiva-
ton this year it should be plow-
ed very shallow and then harrow
ed until well pulverized. The
seed can be sowed broadcast and
narrowed in between Oct. 10th
and Dec. LIST. Wheat culture is
very much like growing oats.
Either wheat or oats put into the
ground by a grain drill will out
yield those sown broadcast. But
/ would not recommend the pur-
chase of an expensive grain drill
for seeding wheat alone where
only a small acreage is to be
sown. However. l do believe it
it would pay to buy one-horse
drill for oats that might be used
to advantage for seeding wheat
also.
s0{ al}rvarieties I'm the parrish
last year the Nicaraguan yielded
best. producing about twenty
bushels per acre on Capt. Teals
place, beside Blue Stem and an
other variety sowed same time
and making about five bushels
per acre. Mr.. Chas. Dale sowed
a lot of wheat on the Bynum
place which he brought with him
from Missouri, that yielded fairly
well considering late sowing on
weed land, but not to compare
with Nicaragua.
Beardless varieties of wheat
usually recommended for this
State are Bluestem, Red May.
and Fultz. Bearded varieties re-
commended are Fulcaster and
Nicaragua. The Nicaragua is a
macaroni wheat, and the quality
is not considered SO good as the
other varieties.
Prof. A. F. Kidder, agronomist
for L. S. u, states that wheat
run through an ordinary grist
mill and sifted through a sieve
that will not cost more than fifty
cents will make excellent hot
cakes and very good bread. In
other words if we have wheat
we may have wheat bread with.
out sending to expensive mills.

various agricultural CLUBS.
O'Quinn is the Man.
The Lake Providence Banner
Democrat which is one of the
best weekly papers in the State,
has the following to say in its
issue of August II:
We don't believe that Mr.. Bridges
will get a single vote in East Carroll
and he ought not to get single vote
in the four river parishes, nor in the
district. Mr.. Bridges has never done
thing in the interest of the people as
long as he has been member of the
Railroad Commission, and he is not en-
titled to reelection. We understand
the railroad attorneys are solid for his
reelection. Why shouldn't they be,
when he and the others of the commits
sion do not attempt to do anything for
the people, especially those Of this Sec
ton of the State. Let US center upon
one of the other candidates opposing
Mr.. Bridges and vote for him to man,
and the vote will amount to something
in helping along his defeat.
Now, if the people of East
Carroll and the four river par
ishes want a Railroad Commits
sioner who will represent them
enc. stand by them until they get
what they are entitled to by all
the laws of justice and equity,
they should vote for James j.
O'Quinn, of Grant parish, who
is opposing Mr.. Bridges.
Mr.. O'Quinn had ten years
service in actual railroad work
and knows tariffs and all manner
of traffic in every detail. He
has been clerk of court of Grant
parish for twenty years, and is a
man close to the masses, ready
and willing to stay with the small
towns and country districts until
the railroads give them a fair
deal. Vote for him and you will
never regret it.-Pollock Press.
Suggestions on Selecting Seed Corn.
Field selection of seed corn is
of too much Importance to be
left to the average laborer; it is
almost always good plan for the
farm owner to supervise the
work. A great deal more corn
will be pulled than is needed,
and it should be re-selected in
order to get the ears that con-
form to a type.
There is no argument tho,
can be used against - o,s lind -
seed selec...on," says A. F. Kid.

State University. because il
means more corn and better corn.

HOW COLOSSAL LIVING FLAG
WAS BUILT

Photographs of the wonderful civ
ing" flag recently displayed at the
Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton have been widely distributed,
but few have any conception Of how
the masses of men were arranged to
present the banner in perfect per-
spective, even to the "1wave" in its
folds. The work was executed by
Mr.. Arthur Mole, young photogra-
pher of Zion City, Illinois, assisted
by Mr.. John D. Thomas. Aside from
its human interest and grandeur,
the flag was an exceptional exam
pie of mathematical photography. 1t
was planned in strict accordance
with the laws of perspective and in
volved great amount of delicate
work that had to be executed with
the utmost accuracy. This is best
understood when it is repembered
that three men standing near a
camera will occupy as much space
in a picture as 100 men photo
graphed at a distance of 100 yards.
Furthermore if one describes a cir
Gle on the ground and photographs
it, the figure will appear oval. Civ
en- an oval, however, the reproduc-
ton will be circular.
Only by giving consideration to
these and other facts on which per-
spective drawing is based, is it pos
sible to conceive how the seemingly
absurd dimensions of the living"
flag and its details, as given in the
February Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, could result in the perfect pic
ture Of the Star-Spangled Banner,
which accompanies the article.
