Naturally Rickard can take no

his title. The champion is big enough
in every way to smother Dempsey,
If the latter shows any timidity in
the ring. but the latter will hardly
do that.
"Dempsey's style will worry VIII

on top of his man. After Willard
has stopped some Of those wallops

WORMS ARE CHIEF
ENEMY OF SHEEP
Sheep Not unduly Susceptible To

tions Due To Worms.

There is a popular belief that
sheep are subject to number Of dis
eases of rather difficult Identification.
This is not true, says G. P: Williams,
sheep and goat specialist, Extension
Division, Louisiana State University.
Aside from occasional attacks of in
digestion brought about by sudden
changes to succulsnt forage, damage
done by stomach worris is practical
ly the only abnormal condition. met
with in Louisiana t'nat the farmer
could not have diagnosed by careful
examination.
Occasionally sheep have been neg
lected and half starved, and this CON
dition is mistaken for disease. In
two or three parishes sheep have
sore feet, but this trouble may easily
be- identified by the farmer ii he VIII
examine the hoof. which will be
found with loose horn and sensitive
sole. Grub in the head is most com
mon; most sheep have them, Ike
cows have MARBLES. Neither grub
in the he'd nor warbles in the baci
kill the animals.
When sheep are in bad CONDITION
and no external symptoms indicat'
the cause Of the trouble. then I'M

For the benefit of Louisiana far
mers who wish to obtain good seed
corn-that is, varieties adapted to
local conditions and seed of good
quality-the Louisiana Corn Growers
Association, Of which A. F. Kidder,
professor of agronomy, L. S. u. is
secretary, has compiled list OF per-
sons having seed corn for sale. The
names and addresses of these per-
sons may be obtained by writing to
Professor Kidder.
The following varieties are incIud-
ed in this list:
Calhoun Red Cob.-This variety is
well adapted to all parts Of Louisia-
ma except the recently reclafmed
lands in the extreme southern part
OF the state.
White Calhoun Red Cob.-This IS
a new variety of white, corn selected
from the regular Calhoun Red Cob.
Hastings Prolific.-This variety Is
well adapted to all parts Of the state.
Sentelps White Dent.-This corn
should be planted only in the north
half Of the state.
Yellow Creole.-A hard, fiinty va.
riety adapted to South Louisiana.
Stewards Yellow Dent.-A good
yellow variety which is well adapted

well in South Louisiana.
Mosby's Prolific. This variety
