ter of warning to the fraternity.
A very insidious attack is now being
stealthily made upon the Farmers
Union of Mississippi by those that
never exhaled a cubic inch of air in
real sympathy with him who tills the
soil in all their lifetime. This ele-
ment, really all that is left of the OLD
ring politicians that used to stock
conventions and manipulate our poll
tics for the few, is pretending to de-
sire the election of the head of the o.
ganization in this state to the highest
office within the gift of our people.
But the farmers know them and see
the wooden horse in their pretensions'
AS a member of the union, and as a
life long friend of the honored head OF
the organization in this state, we feel
that we can assure these Greeks VINO
come bearing gifts" that our worthy
chief is too wise, too discreet ana
| loves the union too much TO be ue
ceived by their suggestions. Tie
| knows that in the heart of hearts oil
this clan, his election to the office
mentioned is not desired and that
this same clan hates the power OF the
farmer in politics almost as badly as
the devil does holy water. Our ofticla
head knows, too, that if he were t.
walk into their trap that it would be
but repeating the old story of the
spider and the fly and we are sure tina
he is too much enamored of the UnloI
to permit it to furnish feast for the
worst class Of politicians that exist il
the state.
We feel safe in saying that this
coterie of scheming politicians VIII b'
disappointed and that their blandish
ments will fall on deaf ears as re

The Texas fever tick is the one
great obstacle standing in the way OF
cattle production. Yet at a slight eX-
pense of time and money this ban to
the cattle industry can be kept in
check. He may and should be eradi-
Gated but until this is done the appli-
cation of crude oil to herd as often
as required will keep him easily in
check
But why should Mississippi farmers
grow good beef cattle? To this there
are many good answers. The state
does not produce sufficient meat for
its own uses. What beef is grown is
of a very low grade and of limited
profits. Growing beef diversifies
crops. 1t enables a more profitable
use of what are now waste lands. 1t
bkrings to the farm large amount of
much needed fertilizer By feeding
cotton-seed meal to cattle fully the
cost of it obtained in the manure. The
corn stalks, oat and other straw be

of being allowed to rot Beef max

are some of the reasons why.

There is no question as to Missis'

TEACHERS HELP
OUR FORESTERS

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Teachers
throughout the country have been in
vited by the United States Forester
to cooperate with the forest service in
an effort to obtain more definite
knowledge of the characteristics of
the most important forest trees of
the United States. To do this it will be
necessary to obtain a large number
of volunteer observers who will col
lect material on the time of leafing,
blossoming, and fruiting of the vari
GUS kinds of forest trees. In his let
ter inviting the cooperation of the
teachers, Forester Pinchot says:
knowledge of this kind is greatly
needed and will be of value from the
standpoint both of education and of
practical forestry. For educational
purposes the results obtained for
each species, averaged and presented
graphically by means of colored
charts, will be available to all who are
interested in the subject, and partic-
ularly to schools They will form
virtual tree calendars" and will be
valuable aids to nature study.
Children can readily be interested
in the actual work of obtaining rec
ords. This should form an attractive
outdoor feature of the school work
that should serve to develop the fac
ulty of accurate observation, and at
the same time to promote an interest
in forestry which may lead to a bet
ter appreciation of its aims and meth
DDS. 1t may also prove to be a profit
able addition to botany courses for
older students.
"A study of this kind will be Of
great value to practical forestry
since the proper treatment of forests
depends partly upon a knowledge o
these characteristics of trees. Fol
example, the time OF year at which
a tree leafs out and blossoms is one
of the indications as to whether o
not it is frosthardy in a given region
and the length of time that a tree is
in leaf influences the growth it i
able to make during the season
knowledge of the time when seed
of each species ripen in various lo
calities is of great value to those VIII
are collecting seed, since seed oftel
deteriorates or is eaten by squirrel
and birds if not gathered and Store
as soon as ripe.
Another result of this study wi
be more intimate knowledge of cl
mate as manifested b. plant growth
, for differences in climate are show
by p,ant life as well as by instrume nj
and preliminary idea can thus b
gained as to whether a given regio
is suited to a valuable tree which
is desired to introduce there. Man
such examples could be given, BIT
sufficient has been said to show ths
the results of these observations wi
be a real help to practical forestry,
addition to their general interest an
educational value. Volunteers Will la
er be supplied with publications an
charts containing the information the
help to gather as a return for tn
services rendered"
On request, the forest service wi
be glad to send forms upon which t
record data and a pamphlet contaiI
ing full instructions as to the natul
of the observations and how they ar
to be made.

How About Oiling the Harness?

Harness oiling is a rainy-day job on
the farm and a regular part OF stable

It's q vitality necessary part, too.
There's no trouble about spelling a

flexibility and "s~nappiness' OF harness

checks which eat into the leather and

Every man who owns or CrlVeS a
horse knows these conditions and
knows that from an economical stand
point. Eureka Harness Oil is the only
oil worth using.
We saw that Observation-Disclosures" is
the most economical harness oil, and
here-outside the fact that it never

Injurious to leather-is the real rea-
son.

the. appearance of the harness, by
keeping it black. which means keep

OF course, if you use oil that keeps
a harness soft and pliable twice as
long as another, it's the cheaper or
