MANY PREMIUMS ARE
OFFERED FOR CORN

Corn growing is steadily improv.
Siag In Louisiana It's Importance
cannot be overestimated This is the
view entertained by the State Fair
Association, which offers approx
matsly s.. 900 il cash premiums Tor
the best specimens of corn at this
years State Fair, October so to No
vember 4. Inclusive.
Some years ago corn was consider
cd only secondary crop in many
sections OF Louisiana. but the situa-
ton 10 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 possibili-
ties connected with the production Of
this product. The premiums are Of
fsrsd, not only to encourage more
farmers to raise corn on large
scale, but to impress the corn grow
ers with the necessity Of using adj
vanced methods, selecting good seed
and following other modern plans tor
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. r. 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 q bullet for the Kaiser. The
State Fair is a school for learning
how best to product it.

MODEL DAIRY WILL
BE FAIR" FEATURE

One of the most important features
of the cattle division of the State
Fair of Louisiana, October 80 to No
vember 4, inclusive, will be the model
dairy, which will be under direction
of experts. Visitors will be given

Will be prepared to answer questions,
and will take pleasure in doing so
with view to stimulating greater

With the nation at war and the
demand for food products greater

ter farming methods is important.
