MANY PREMIUMS ARE
OFFERED FOR CORN

Corn growing is steadily improv'
ing in Louisiana. Its Importance
cannot BIO overestimated. This is the
view entertained by the state Fair
Association, which offers approx.
mately $1,000 in cash premiums for
the best specimens Of corn at this
years State Fair, October 80 TO No.
vember 1, inclusive.
Some years ago corn was consider.
ed only secondary crop in many
sections Of Louisiana, but the situa-
ton is changing. due to the efforts Of
the State Fair and other agencies
working for the greater upbuilding
Of the states resources, and there
seems to be no limit to the p6ssibili-
ties connected with the production Of
this product. The premiums are Of
fered. not only to encourage more
farmers to raise corn ON a large
scale, but to impress the corn grow
ers with the necessity Of using ad-
vanced methods, selecting good seed
and following other modern plans for
developing the industry.
That wonderful strides have been
made will be evidenced by the big
exhibition at the State Fair. 1t will
be in charge Of Prof. A. F. Kidder, of
the chair Of agronomy, Louisiana
State University
With the country at war and the
need for food production the largest
In history, Uncle Sam is looking to
the farmers to produce more than
ever before. Every ear of corn pro-
duced Is bullet for the Kaiser. The
State Fair is a school for learning
how best to product it.

 My precaution served me In good stead for had come out in the main street of the village and within twenty feet of me. sitting on some bricks where they were building little store, could see the dim outline of a Ger man spiked helmet,
 could not cross the street and the only thing to do was to back track. It meant making lung detour and losing two hours of precious time and effort, but there was no help for 1t. so I plodded wearily back, curslng the Huns at every step.
 The next night while crossing some fields l came to road. IL was one of the main roads of Belgium and was paved with cOhble stones. On these roads you can hear wagon or horse about q mile or two away. l listened intCntly before 1 moved ahead and hearing nothing concluded that the way was clear.
 As I emerged from the field and got my first glimpse of the road, got the shock of my life, In either direction, as far as l could see. the road was lined with German soldiers! What they were doing In that part of Bel gum I did not know, but you can be mighty sure didn't spend any time trying to find out.
 Again 1t was necessary to change my course and lose certain amount of ground. but by this time I had be- come fairly well reconciled to these reverses and they did not depress me as much as they did at first.
 At this period of my adventure. If a day or night passed without It's thrill I began to feel almost dialpointed, but such disappointments were rather rare.

THE SAVING OF NEWSPAPER

The government, actng through the Federal Trade
Commission and the War Industries Board, has made
some plain statements to newspapers in an effort to avoid
FAMINE IN news print paper.
AT the present rate of consumption the supply would
be exhausted before the end Of the year and many small
er papers would be forced to suspend publication entirely
The government is greatly averse to any Interrupt
ton in the wide distribution of newspapers because in this
way only it succeed in getting the proper support
for the various activities.
. Without the newspapers explaining the workings Of
the draft laws the tax laws the food regulations the
thrift campaigns the Liberty Loans the Red Cross and
hundred other government activities, it would have
been absolutely impossible to have gotten the unity of
action and understanding that has made all Of these
things successful.
~ The War Industries Board has ordered all newspa
pers to discontinue all free papers of every kind dis
continue the exchanging of papers with other papers, the
increased of paper the consumption of last year
and numerous other wasteful practices.
One blessing, indeed for which the public be most
thankful is that it forbds the harassing circulation
tests and the of premiums to get subscribers No
sample copies other extraordinary efforts to be
made to secure circulation for newspapers.
These rulings go Ito effect Monday July Is. From
now on the keynote Of every newspaper office will be
to save news print paper
