AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST

There is very simple and interest
Ing chemical test by which to detect
impurity in paint materials. Thou
sands and thousands of people, all over
the country, are making this test 1t
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Any one
can make the test-all that is needed
is a simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit includes also a set of color
schemes for exterior or interior paint
ing, or both, if you wish, and a book
of specifications. No houseowner
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect satisfactory paint
ing job without pure white lead. There
is way to make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the key bears National Lead Com
pany's famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is positive guarantee of
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National
Lead Company know.

Cutting Up the Big Farms.

A State of land owners is a more pros
porous and happy one than the State of
big plantations with renters and share
pi has been the home of big plantations
for many years, but the average size has
been diminishing for some time The
owners are beginning to realize that the
small owner is preferable to the tenant
and movements are under way in several
localities to cut up the big plantations
and sell to desirable citizens.
One of the most prominent moves in
tina. direction has recently been made by
a number of enterprising citizens of
Greenwood. The plantation of w. c.
George, lying just across the Yazoo river
from Greenwood, and containing approx
imately 1000 acres, has been purchased
by a syndicate and is being plated in
fer settlers who desire to own their
homes. A concerted effort will be made
to sell this land to good white people
and build citizenship in that section
thoS VIII mean Sicao uSoi W 1ic iuoui z
prosperity of Greenwood and the Yazoo
delta. There should be little trouble ex-
perienced in securing buyers for this land.
1t is rich alluvial soil, right at the cor
poration line of large and growing city
and offers especially attractive induce
ments to the man who would own his
home.
1t is expected that a great deal of
work of this character will be under
taken in the delta during the next few
years. more intelligent class of farm
ers is demanded there by prevailing con-
ditions and change will eventually come
about. The health and other conditions
are favorable, and if that great section of
our State is to come into its own, a
great many just such movements as in
augurated by the Greenwood people will
have to be made

Boil Weevil Legislation.

Hon. G. II. Afford, member of the
legislature from Pike county, has indi-
4. Gated that he will introduce a bill at the
January session of the body, authoriz-
ing compulsory orders for the burning of
cotton stalks to suppress the boil weevil
in infested sections, and in an interview
on the subject says: eff the farmer
wants to kill the adult weevil, the insect
weevil in immature states, and destroy
the food supply of the few weevils that
escaped the fire so they will be weakened
by starvation and without sufficient
: ,arength to pass through the winter, he
can do SO by this method. In the boil
: weevil literature issued by the depart
ment, the burning of stalks in autumn
is urged, but few farmers follow this ad-
vice. The passage of this bill will en-
'sAable boards of supervisors to enforce the
laying out of government ideas where
~ see fit. l am satisfied that the
&ers of the legislature from the delta
ver counties will favor the passage
Sthe bill, and that the planters in
most Instances will be willing and anx-
1ous to have it carried out"
~The proposition of Representative Al
ford Is d unique one, and while its merits
have not been Investigated, it may be
worthy of consideration and the support
of the agricultural people. Mr.. Afford
has been the author of much favorable
legislation for the benefit of the farmers
and this measure may prove of benefit
also. 1t is well worth the time and at
tention of our people, and should they
not deem it what is wanted, the author
would no doubt comply with request
to change it according to their wishes.
