Farmers, AttentIOn.

In parts of the North and North
west, there has been a terrible
drouth this SUMMER, and the hay
yield very much reduced. The ef-
feet of this will be to increase the
price of hay for 1871. Timothy
hay at Memphis is quoted at SIG
to $2I per ton, and Arkansas prai-
rie hay at $1s. So to $3.50. The
consumer must add to this freight
and credit prices, both of which
make a big increase to this already
high price.
In 1908 the average yield of hay
per acre in Tennessee, Arkansas
and Mississippi was ~ tons, and
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois was
I 5a-I6o tons per acre-practically
the same yield. The first three
states produced 100000 tons of
hay, while the states OF Ohio, In
diana and Illinois produced 49,
o83,ooo, or about thirteen times as
much. If our Southern farmers
can grow per acre as much hay as
the Northern and Western farmer,
how can we afford the ruinous
method OF buying hay every years
No farmer has any excuse for
not having ample hay for his needs
for next year. If you have not cut
a pound of hay to this date, you
still have time before frost to save
ample hay for your stock. Ber-
muda grass and lespedeza both
grow wild and make good hay. If
you have no land growing hay,
your neighbors have, and you can
cut it on shares. DON'T say you
have no barh to put it in. You
can bale it, or can put il in stacks.
When our hay grows wild, surely
we should have foresight enough
to cut a supply ample to feed our
live stock.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal. Sept 18th.

Tick Killing Cattle.

DR.. Edward Horstman, U. S.
veterinarian in charge of the cam
paign for the eradication of the
cattle tick in Adams and Jefferson
counties, has authoritative infor-
nation that cattle are dying of tick
fever in Lafayette county, to an
extreme extent.
His informant further stated that
&c. C. Curtis, who is running a
dairy at Oxford, has lost by reason
of the cattle tick fever $500 worth
of dairy cows in the last ten days.
John Walker has lost IA head Of
COWS valued at $500.
The cattle buyers of that county
report cattle dying everywhere
from tick fever.
Mr.. Curtis is contemplating 60
ing out of the dairy business unless
the county does something to Grad
Icate the tick.

Crooked Work by Teachers.

Fayette, Miss, Sept. Io.-Be-
cause it is believed that answers to
questions put to negro applicants
for teachers examination held here
yesterday and to day were received
here before the questions arrived,
County Superintendent L. L. Po-
sey and the examining board threw
out all papers this afternoon and
declared the examination void.
Conditions show that the leak was
in Jackson and the officials here
believe the carbon copies of the
answers TO the questions were sent
to Claiborne county. as twenty FIVE
of the eighty three applicants came
from that division.
Mr.. Posey's suspicious were
aroused yesterday morning when
such a large number of Claiborne
county applicants came here to
take the tests. Not only that, but
many of the applicants were taking
the examination for a first grade
certificate when heretofore they
could get no better than third.
These suspicious were confirmed
when the papers were turned in,
as many Of them would have to be
graded 100 per cent, as they were
absolutely correct. Many were
alike in each detail. An investi-
CATION followed and carbon copies
of the answers were found.

A Poor Mans Troubles.
Respectfully,

Vet. Inspr.

Editor Reveille:
The tick eradication work in
Claiborne county is a perfect farce.
There is no co operation between
the inspector and the people-and
therescannot be any success in this
undertaking unless the inspectors
do their duty and see that the cat
tie owners observe The quarantine
regulators. The rich men break
the law mere than the pe6r men.
You can go along the. roads and
ask the. Ok drivers if they have a
permit. They will tell you NO,
and their oxen have ticks on them.
What is the use of having a
stock lawP 1t is not observed.
Landowners and tenants turn their
hogs, their cattle and their horses
in the fields. They trample on the
rights of men who want to make a
living in bolt weevil times. 1t is
disagreeable to have outs with your
neighbor because of his trespasses.
The only way to enforce ones
rights is at the point Of shotgun.
There is no protection to property,
property rights and person. On
account Of these hard times, which
are poor timest it is impossible to
fence ones place with expensive
woven wire.
l have a small place and want to
make a living. l owe the banks
and want to pay them. want to
live and let live. | want to plant
crops that grow in winter and coy-
er the ground, but what's the use
(without killing some one) to
maintain my rights by my neigh
bors' stock running over and de-
stroying my crops. must sub
nit because of a cruel unwritten
law that ones neighbors must live
and be supported by my crops.
The cotton crop is thing of the
past and thin reel to rely on to
pay my debts. l had planned to
plant crimson clover, vetch, cab
bage and onions. I will have to
give up, sell out and go elsewhere
where l can live without resorting
to the violation of the ten COM
mandments, and where the laws
protect a man in his person and
property.
If the tick eradication had been
enforced in the right manner we
would have been practically free
Of ticks like Adams and Jefferson
counties, and we would not be get
ting such small prices for our cat
tie.
We.must get up and be doing if
we expect to march ahead of the
procession in agricultural progress
and civilization.

Cotton in California.

That cotton can be successfully
grown in the State of California is
the testimony of Mr.. Charles Wat
son, former Misslssippian who
has been in that state for several
months directing the installation of
cotton gins.
Furthermore, says Mr.. Watson,
the farmers of California are taking
up cotton growing in earnest, and
are demonstrating that it can be
successfully and proftably grown
in certain sections of. Southern Cal
ifornia hitherto regarded as insult
able for other crops.
Mr.. Watson says that the Cali
tornia soil does not appear to be
fertile, yet he saw cotton fields
with stalks six feet in height, and
in many places 275 bolls to the
stalk. Unimproved land adapted
to cotton sells at ninety dollars per
acre, while improved land is sold
at from $3.50 to $1,000 per acre,
which makes it hard to understand
why any person should want to
engage in cotton growing in Cali
fornla when land equally or better
adapted to the staple in Mississip-
pi can be bought at from S. to $40
per acre. Jackson News.
