Bossier Corn Wins Prize.

Mr. Il. S. Burt, farm demonstration
agent for Bossier Parish. while a caller
ut the Banner office yesterday said that
corn grown in Bossier Parish last sea
son and exhibited at the International
Live Stock. Hay and Grain Show. held
at Chicago, had won third prize. II
will interest some readers of the Ban
her to learn that this corn was grown
near, Benton. and very much interest
one North Rossier reader to learn that
it was ten ears of Stewards Yellow
Dent. Mr.. Burt knew of ten other ears
of corn grown by Mr.. +. f. Yickers,
of near Bellevue exhibited at the 1920
rarsh and State fairs that he consid-
cred even better than the ten ears here
mentioned, but could not secure it at
the time it should have been forwarded
to Chicago. Many residents Of the par
ish will recall that Bossier Parish corn
won second prize at the big Chicago
show of 1919.
