Gail for Defenders.

From the Chicago Post
What is needed in these parlous times
is more Defenders. At night our patriotic
sumber is hideously broken by grim
sounds Of wrack. 1t is the Constitution
strained by rash hands. A certain great
man is at the ruinous work with all his
fell crew.

IMPROVED FARMING METHODS
IN MISSISSIPPI

According TO customs Of just a few
years ago farmers in this country quit
work as soon as the cotton was picked
and did nothing until about the lst OF
March. but luckily these Old customs
have changed. No blowing for the
next crop was done until spring opened
not so now. Farmers break their land
in the winter. turning all weeds and
trash under, thereby getting advantage
of an extra amount Of fertilizer and
making the land much easier To work.
Improved farming implements have been
introduced, the old time single stocks
having been discarded. No other IN
dustry has been advanced more within
the last few years Farming Is now one
OF the best professions in this country
and good judgment is exercised by the
boy who sticks 10 the farm instead OF
going out as one horse merchant or
