Stewards Yellow Dent Corn

Some days ago as we passed up the
IinGin. who said he had something to
show us. Now. it happens that Mr..
Silliman operates Il grist mill ut his
shop OH saturdays. ana knows our fail
ing for cornbread made from home
ground meal. SO what he pointed out
was nothing more or less than several
barrels of yellow corn. Golden yellow
it was. fired with red. and it looked
like it might make Il good meal that
might make up Unto mighty good
pone of bread. We ventured to ask If
it was Stewards Yellow Dent. but Mr..
Sillimn,n said it was not. 1t was just
merely yellow corn perhaps grown
from Western seed.
But. anyway. this set us to thinking
about Stewards Yellow Dent. and the
:ireless ende;,vorS of our Ward Four
friend to improve it. SO We again re-
solved to publish something Of the
history" of this corn-if it could he
procured-;llways desiring to champion
those things produced. made or grown
here in Rossier Parish. We haven't
since seen Mr.: Stewart or any one
from his section We thought could give
in the full story. but we remembered
that we had Oh file Il copy of Il hOOklet
published during 1915 by the Louisiana
Corn Growers Association and that 1t
had something to say about the yellow
dent variety of corn being developed by
Mr.. Stewart. SO we are going to say
that much in the Banner-;tnd here it
Is as we find it:
This is one of the most promising
varieties Of yellow corn being devel-
oped in the state. It's origin Is due to
Mr.. n. W. Stewart. Plain Dealing. Ia.
who has improved this corn by straight
field selection from a strain Of ordi-
nary yellow corn. 1t is very much Of
IL local variety ut the present time.

which have Il prominent dent III the
top. The kernels have Il strong incli-
nation to be rough. The color Of the
kernels is not pure yellow, but shows
Il number of white caps. When these
white caps are present the ears are
usually not IL uniform yellow. hut vary
from light to Il dark yellow. BY
careful selection the nOll-uniformity in
color could easily he eliminated and a
pure yellow variety established. ,-.-s.-
This variety has been developed OH
the sandy soils Of North Louisiana and
Is best adapted to them te.day, produc-
ing in good seasons two ears on Il
stalk. When planted on the alluvial
soils the stalk grows too tall and the
yield is lower than one would expect.
1t will do well on the poorer soils i'll

So much for Stewards Yellow Dent.
IL corn developed right here in the par
iSh that Is attracting statewide attell.
ton. and then some-and that will
slow Il good yield even on poor sandy
soil. And that prompts us to say that
there is yet another BOSSier Parish VA,
riety Of corn that Is attracting much
attention. and we are going to give II
notice. too-perhaps IN next weeks
issue. Its grower is not now u resi-
dent Of the parish. but he was born
and reared here. and the original seet
of the corn came from the parish, w
think.
Here with us corn Is a big crop AM
it is becoming more SO with the passin:
of each season. All Of which Is righ

A New BOSSier Well
High Grade Oil Test
Rush on for Acreage

What the oil people seem to believe
is the real thing in the way of an oil
well developed Sunday evening ut n
depth of 2tiOO feet ut the prospect well
Oh the Red Chute plantation. owned by
Mr.. ]. II. FullilOve. of Shreveport The
site Of the operations is in the south
east quarter Of northeast quarter Of
section q. township ~. range IL. and
the well is Il result Of the promotion Of
MesSrs. X. &. ROiSSeau and o. q. Col
Inns. who got together about 5000 acres
Of leases. which acreage was given to
induce the drilling of the Well The
well came in late In the afternoon. lust
account of lack of crude oil for fuel.
The facts SO far developed in regard
to the well are that the oil flows slowly
when the cap is removed and oOzes
from the valve when the cap iS on.
The gravity Is very high-43 degrees
Raun,e-and the estimates of probable
production from the well rang from 70
to 400 barrels per day.
The drillerS say that the 4h-inch
liner now in the well will be pulled and
~ inch casing set and cemented. This
they say. will take fifteen days. After
the casing has been set test will at
once he made.
Mr.. NJ. A., Baggett has drilled the
well from the beginning. and has been
four months on the job. Mr.. Sam
Richardson. son of Mr.. ID. C. Richard
| son. we'll known In North Louisiana oil
circles. IL the drilling contractor. Ac-
cording to their statements. strong gus
pressure was encountered at $40 feet
and again between the 245O and 900
foot levels.
The well lies about five miles little
east Of south Of Benton. and the Bos-
sier Parish Court House has been alive
with leaSe-seekers ever since Monday
morning. following the strike Of sun
day evening. The prices that had 10
| far prevailed for acreage up to last
night ranged from $50 per acre for
leases within mile Of the well to SD
l'er acre six miles from the well. Most
of the leases 80 far taken are east aud
northeast OF the new well. but high
prices have been paid for acreage lying
west and north and. In fact. in all di-
rections. The largest single check given
In Benton yesterday. however. 10 far
as tx known, was 5000 for 40acre
tract one mile north of the WELL What
was done In Shreveport il not yet fully
known. but 1t IL known that the I'm
lNrtance Of the strike Is not under
estimated In oil circles there and some
heavy trading IL known to have oc-
curred. '
II While the full measure Of the. strike
| will hardly be known for some weeks
