Orange Harrington, Of Jones county,
a prominent and educated farmer, does
not believe that geese would be worth
a great deal to cotton fields infested
with johnson grass, from the fact that
it gets tough so soon that they could
not eat it. However, he cites experiences
to show that crab grass can be kept
down in this way. He cites the expert
ence of Mr.. C. H. Bush, who lives near
Laurel. Mr. Bush planted piece of
land in cotton; made four bales the
first year, five the next and six the third,
and there was never hoe put into it.
It was kept clean by the geese.

Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the most IA

was the target of the political wits.
During his last campaign for parlia-
ment Sir Wilfrid was greeted as Il
''peregrinating pump handle" IAN old
cracked teapot" "a coniiscatory molly
coddle," "a washed out water party"
"a pop bottle pump orator" "the
apostle of slops," "a maudlin mounte-
bank" and "a ''foon." The last
epithct was so often hurled at Sir
Wilfrid that he remarked It reminded
him Of "Selah" in the Psalms. His
hatred of war and rum led to an epi-
gram which has frequently been re
peated. "The country" he said, sis
governed by two heather deitles-
Bacchus and Mars, or, in other words,
by the god Of bottles and the god of
battles"
