Here and there state legislators have

from the milliners trimmings. The

To the Noble Womanhoed Of Mississippi

Greeting:
An invitation is extended to all
Ladies to attend the Cattle Tick
Eradication Convention to be held
in the Hall of the House OF
Representatives at the Capital,
Jackson, Mississippi, October 81,
8 a. m.
There is no movement in which
the irresistible forces of women
are actively felt that bids fair of
achieving earlier and absolute sue
cess than the production of the
sanitary COW, which furnishes the
milk supply to nourish the future
men and women of America.
In every state and nearly every
city rigid inspection is main
tained over cattle, barns, dairies
and the handling Of milk to insure
the consumer ofan honest, noursh.
ing and germ free food.
In my observations of several
years, seldom have | seen ticks on
cows cared for by women.
The cattle tick is producer of
a disease in cattle that causes an
intense fever and the milk from a
cow while in that condition is un-
fit for human consumption and
especially dangerous to children.
Mothers! feed your children
milk from COWS free from ticks.
Insist on your babies diet being
clean and free from disease.
Very respectfully,
j. A. KIERNAN
Inspector in charge.

Some idea of the way in
which the boil weevil cuts down
the cotton crop, even when exper-
fenced fighters are making the cot
ton, is shown by the receipts of
Lincoln county. In the season of
190S-1909 the county produced
31,S12 bales. Then the weevil
came. The season of 1909. 1910
the total receipts were IS, ,17s bales
somewhat of a drop. In the
season of 1901 there were 1882
bales-and the indications are that
the CROP OF. the present season now
beginning the crop year of 1911.12
will not equal that of last year.
And yet there are cheerful and
joyous individuals in north Miss
issippi whose land the weevil is
fast approaching, who scout the
idea of it being a serious menace,
and are taking no steps toward di-
versifeation, or getting in shape
