nous loan of a collection of Flemish

and paintings. Among the latter are
st George and the Dragon" painted

TO Be PLENTY OF BROOMS
Kansas Broom Corn Acreage
Has Been Doubled, Says --latest
Report of Secretary Mohler.

The Kansas farmers wife Is to have
her new broom. The Pullman porter
can buy a new broom for his patrons
if the strike doesn't hit him. Then
there will be lot of extra brooms for
the town brides who work out their
own servant problems and for the
wives of the shopmen.
Out in the southwestern counties
the farmers are coming to the rescue
of the housewives and the Pullman
porters. The Kansas broom corn
acreage has been doubled. according
to ]. C Mohler. secretary of the state
board OF agriculture.
Propaganda and demonstrations OF
the vacuum cleaner folks didn't worry
the broom corn growers in the least
They just tilted the game a couple
of chips and increased the acreage.
1t may mean cheaper Drooms. 1t may
not In any event it will mean moro
brooms and the old family broom VIII
survive for another season or two IN
spite of the inroads and heterogeneous
of the patent seekers and machine
makers. The Kansas farmer is stand
ing UP for the sallow faced housewife
who finds her daily diversion while
exercise in swinging broom -Whlle
her husband uses a mashie or mia
iron. Kansas, it seems, is ever to pc
classed as a gallant and considerable
state.
Assessors reports from seventy
seven counties show total OF
1855 acres in this crop, broom corn'
in 1922. Last year the report record
ed only 1915 acres in the same coun-
ties.
The current report hardly doubles
the previous figure, yet there are
twenty-eight counties which have made
no returns as yet. This list included
Allen, Hamilton. Linn and Morton
counties, which are prominent in its
production.
The southwestern part of the state
has always led in broom corn produc-
ton. This year is no exception. The
dry, clear air of the southwest section
is favorable to the growth of the
crop.
Stevens county leads this year in
acreage. 1t reports 4.159 acres.
Kearny reports 2,204 acres, Stanton
1916 acres; Seward 1891 acres and
Grant SIS acres. Altho neither Hamil-
ton onr Morton has reported, it is evil
dent that this southwestern section
will produce over two-thirds of the
states crop.
Kansas ranks well with Illinois.
Oklahoma and Texas as a foremost
broom corn territory. Thus these few
counties uphold the honor of the state
as a broom corn producer, in quality
as well as in quantity of the crop.

The Old Subscriber.

Dear ib: You will find enclosed
two dollars for my renewal to the dear
old Banner for another year." So reads
a brief but appreciated note that has
just come to the Office from Mr.. W. s.
Dalrymple, who resides about three
whoops to the east Of the Midway old
store.
A year or so hence Mr.. J. n. Thorn.
ton. then an employe in this Office,
asked the writer why the Banners
subscribers, particularly It's old sub
scribers, apparently usually found
pleaure in renewing their subscriptions
and why they SO often accompanied
their remittances with a note rejecting
their friendly attitude toward the
paper. We were unable to answer. Per-
haps it is because the Banner has all
these years remained in. one family, or
because 1t advocates the same sound
doctrines from year to year, or because
Of party fealty, or just merely because
it has been here in Bossier Parish so
long. Again, it may be all these things
taken together. But we. started out to
thank many old subscribers for stick
| ing with us so faithfully and not to
| exploit the Banners success In any one
direction.
Around the country newspaper Office
the contributor to the papers success
who is most appreciated is the old sub
scriber, the man who had his name
placed ON its subscription list way
back yander' and who keeps 1t there
| always so promptly paid up from year
to year that the Office force never gets
| chance to drop him. Others come,
and drop out, but he sticks on, a bear
for good results and when he comes In
for call is always as friendly as a
hungry hound pup. Bless the old sub
scriber. How would we newspaper
folk get along without him? He is the
backbone Of Que existence, the main
stay Of our inspiration, the wellspring
ef our happiness, and when he calls an
atmosphere Of content pervades the
whole Office and fingers around after
he Is gone. Bless the old subscriber, a
good fellow wherever found.
Thanks. Will; thanks to all Of you
fellowsewho were subscribers back In
the old days and who still stick on with
us. The season is appropriate to say
this and we are pleased that the oppor.
tunity is presented to do SO. II we had
J to give up one Of you we would have
our regrets: If we had to give up al
of you we would feel inclined to quit
the game.
