the barry NousTRY.

According to the last year book
of the Department Of Agriculture,
there are q, 10000 mich cows
in the United States. and these
are worth TOP, 945, 600, The
magnitude of the industry can
perhaps be best understood when
it is considered that these cows
produce yearly about.$1, O0O,OOO,-
10000 worth of dairy products.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture so import
ant to the progress of a COM
munity. The fertility of the soil
can best be maintained by the
liberal use of barnyard manure
and dairy herd not only makes
this possible, but dairying is also
more remunerative than other
branches of farming when
properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
modern creamery and the con-
sumner of butter has not only been
benefited by being furnished a
more wholesome and palatable
article of food, but the wife in the
farm home has been relieved of
the drudgery incident to making
butter on the farm. Where for
merly the cream was ripened and
churned into butter under condi-
tons not conductive to fine quail
ty in the finished product, and, in
the majority of cases, by unskilled
hands, now the most of the milk
or cream is delivered to a modern
creamery, where conditions are
suited to the purpose of making
butter, and the result has been a
wonderful Improvement in the
quality of our dairy products. As
the quality has improved, con-
sumption has increased, and the
progress of dairying has been
remarkable during the past de.

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.

The past eight or ten days has
brought much Improvement in the
way of cotton weather, and the
busy planters have been down to
it with their hoes and plows.
The past week of hot dry wealth
er has given the farmers consid-
cradle opportunity to partially
weed out the grass. The recent
rains have slackened up, and most
of the hands have jumped on the
opportunity to give cultivation.
Every available negro has been
corralled on the plantations, and
there is no excuse for a negro to
remain idle in this community dur
ing the cotton season.
All that is asked is a continuance
of the present kind of weather.
Much strength has been added to
the plant, and its growth has been
precipitated, except in parts where
the grass has not become too
much of a menance.
Blooms and squares are making
teeir appearance, and the good
stands attract the observers as
they ride through the county. If
the weather man will only come
clean and even up by giving us
plenty of the proper weather, the
crop in Leflore will be a splendid
one, and will aid materially in off
setting last seasons shortcomings.

If you have endoavorod within

your duty to spend your coin. Mer.

dence moro than eyer to bear its In

that have caused many persons tt

CITY LIMITS EXTENDED.

1t is with pleasure that we note
the extension of our city limits by
the City Council at a recent ses-
sion. A compromise was effected,
all objections removed, and more
room was given for expansion.
Another good act was their or
dinance forbidding the extension
of light and water conveniences
outside of the city limits. This will
keep many wads within the
corporation and make them bear
their part Of the taxes and other
burdens.
For the past year or so citizens
residing at the edge of the old linn
its and just outside, what should
have been incorporated, have
been deprived of service due
them.
The present city limits gives
our city plenty room for proper
expansion and should not deprive
any of our citizens of service that
is due them.
Now it is hoped that the author
tiles will get down to it and pro-
vide ample water and sewerage
connections for those within the
corporate limits.
Don't let these matters escape
attention any longer.

Finance at the present stage in
our community is not exactly fren-
zied, but its everything but a tame
affair. The combined effect Of
too much expense, the short crop
of last season, the high cost of liv-
ing, is showing itself. It takes an
artist to get loan; and unless the
weather man gives us: a square
deal, we are going to see a few
hard times.
