Farmers who have been doing their
best to exterminate the barn swallow
will feel pretty cheap When they learn
that the swift. winged little fellow is
one Of his best friends. It is his
misfortune and not his fault that his
nest IL infested by suspicious look
ing bug. But the entomologists have
discovered that this bug, IN spite of
his resemblance to the one that ''gets
there just the same Is q different
breed and wouldn't stay in a bed even
if put there. Nests are Ito specially.
So let the barn swallow live and pur.
sue its insect pests to his hearts con-
tent and the farmers profit.

nine inches in height, was heavy set,

For money to change hands in q gambling

nor the country any good whatever. This
covers not only cards, dice and SO forth, but
the speculation in farm products. Plausible

and under present conditions of marketing the
crops there is force in some of it. But IL such
organizations as the Farmers' Union, the
Southern Cotton Association, the Tobacco
Growers Association and other producers

control the marketing Of the product, then
future dealing or the lack of future dealing
cannot Affect the price, as IL now does. In the
final analysis of the question as to whether or
not speculation is q benefit to the producer, Ii
is reduced to this, "Can two men on the out

of selecting candidates, 1t will always be the

in the hill section, where the timber is being

departed, particularly the timber interest; and
IL we would continue to have prosperous
