MR.. o. J. HURST OF THE NEWMAN
LUMBER COMPANY, IS
PLEASED.
One OF The GOOD SIGNS
Production Being Cut Down In Some
\Sections-Campaign Of
Advertising.

1Of the newman LumDer Co., WIN
headquarters in Hattiesburg, states
that the lumber market is improving
rapidly, and he expects still better
conditions in the near future. Mr..
Hurst says that the shipments from
Hattiesburg and vicinity during the
past month have been large and en-
couraging.
One OF The Good Signs.
One of the good signs that the lum-
ber manufacturers are calling atten-
tion to during the past week is the
fact that several of the large line yard
concerns of the Southwest have got
into line on prices after holding out
for go days and are placing numerous
orders on the best market prices GO
ing. This demonstrates to the manu-
facturers that the price situation is
righting itself nicely, for the men who
have begun paying the price for lum-
Der are those who are most expert in
buying for the lowest prices possible
and who are bears from the word
go"
Cutting Down Production.
Several of the large manufacturing
firms in other states are helping the
good cause along by making less than
normal amount of lumber at their
mills and helping in this way to boost
the price-getting campaign. This is
done by shutting down the mills about
one day in each week, in this way re
ducing their production one-sixth.
Yellow Pine Men,

sociation is preparing to start it's cam
paign of advertising to increase the
consumption of yellow pine. 1t. will
do so by advertising the merits of the
wood directly to the consumers
throughout the United States by means
of popular magazines, newspapers

hopes to create an added interest II

people to demand it of their loca

Yellow pine will be advertised spe
cifically in this way, the various prod
ucts of the tree being expoited. One
of the points that will be worked OF
will be the yellow pine block pave
ments. 1t is believed that through
proper exploitation the cities of the
country can be brought to use this

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHINC

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she Vas taken with a very
Irritating breaking out, which came on
her face. neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and On her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her fac nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then l
wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment at the drug store. I did as l
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let. and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months. and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since b was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

Training Young Trees.

Training the young orchard Is more
needful than pruning. and should
consist mostly in shaping the trees or
keeping them in form and properly
balanced. Very often the side opposite
the direction from which the prevail.
ing winds come become heavier than
the side toward the wind, and the re-
movai OF some of the branches and
heading in Of others becomes neces-
sary.
Some shoots become too rampant
and need checking to preserve the bal
ance OF the tree, and others can be
bent and tied to fill the open spaces.
Work OF this kind, and the removal
OF water sprouts may be done in the
summer. A bush or clustered habit of
growth Is not uncommon, even in
quite young trees, and needs to be
corrected ny the removal of surplus
branches.

WATER FOR ORCHARD
Number OF lrrigations Depend on
Capacity of Soil.
"nere There Is Good Supply Of Moist

4 heavy application at longer inter
sals Is best. likewise a heavy rain
which saturates tse soil below the

take the place of one artificial water

ooes more harm than good. Cultiva-
ton often takes place of irrigation.
Unless the burrows are cultivated in

AS a rule young trees are irrigated
oitener and earlier than mature trees,
says the Northwestern Stockman and
Farmer.

opment OF fruit buds for the ensuing
yea Where there Is a good supply
OF moisture in the soil rapid growth
takes place, which is evidently at the
expense of fruit bud formation. Fruit
buds are best developed when there
Is a moderate supply Of moisture and
plenty OF available plant food. Bear
ing fruit trees should make very lit
lie growth after the middle of July.
and II the orchardist wishes to pro-
mote fruitfulness he should no over
'rrigate. The growing crop, however.
cannot be sacrificed in order to insure

Ing year, but rampant growth is not
essential to the proper development of
fruit.
Excessive late irrigation may re-
lard the proper coloring of the fruit.
Inc aim should be to bring the fruit
up to size early in the season and
then promote coloring by withhold
ing water. Then the late irrigation

be mature before frost, and if some

Orchards that have dried out IN

Fall blowing is almost always de-
'irable in orchards, as it holds the

settle. Spring blowing leaves the
ground too loose and If it is not

ORCHARD NOTES.

An orchard neglected for one yea
virtually puts 1t back three years.
Never cut a limb from a fruit tree
unless o know just why you do it.
II the rabbits have gnawed only
the outer bark. wrap the wound with
cloth.
1t Is a sad mistake to neglect an
orchard when it is not producing a
crop OF fruit.
There are no conhlcting opinions
among growers on the effects OF Gov
er crops on peach trees.
If you think Of setting out an or
chard and have had no experience
better hire a man to show you how.
Whenever a large limb is sawed
from the tree the wound should be at
once covered with wax or thick paint.
Always buy clean, straight trees
with short stems, and even Their do
not be afraid to prune before plant
ing.
More depends upon the right
choice OF kinds of fruit to set than
upon any other factor as to profit In
the orchard.
While the orchard is coming into
bearing try vegetable growing as a
side line. This makes one of the
surest and best sources of income.
Three years of spraying. pruning
and cultivation will bring an orchard
that you are ashamed OF into a con-
dition that you will be proud of.
II you can get a man from your
state experiment station you will In
deed be fortunate. II not, then try
to get the man who grows the best
fruit in YOU county.
Peaches and piums. owing to the
small size OF the trees as compared
with the apple and pear. are more
generally thinned. but it will pay to
thin them when too full.
The inexperienced planter thinks
he is getting a bargain when he buys
trees three or our years old, but
experience will show him that year.
lings are better and he should never
plant over two-year-olds.
Ailanthus trees are easily cut, |
sawed and split, and while the wood
them will not burn as long as
woods. 1t answers fairly well in
this respect. but does best when used
with other woods. such as locust.
hickory. chestnut. etc.

success in leading backward or un-
willing pupils along the rocky road to

beyond belief. 1t took their new
teacher a long time to get at the root
OF the misunderstanding, over which
they whispered in corners and be-
cause of which they treated her like
a bitter enemy. At last, however, she
drew from the most pliable youngster
this indignant, fearful admission:

years. The benefit Of his long expert.

ers In the form of a farmers bulletin,
recently issued by the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. Mr.. Grub
places great emphasis upon proper
preparation of the soil. The mainte-
nance of soil fertility is the basis of a
successful crop In his experience. He
mas grown clover or alfalfa often for
three or four years previous to break.

This alfalfa or clover sod is plowed

In order that the root system of the
young plants will be enabled to secure
plant food. Cultivation is begun as
soon as possible after the potatoes are
planted.
In soil which Is reasonably porous
1t will be sufficient to irrigate every
alternate row. A V-shaped trench is
made midway between the row with
an . or 10-inch lister. and a small
stream OF water turned down each Of

to give the tubers plenty of time to

Seed selection is the most important
point of all the factors influencing
potato growing. For IL years Mr..
Grub has been trying to improve and
develop certain strains of potatoes by
the same methods which he followed
in breeding Shorthorn cattle and
sheep. He used the best
methods of selection and gave his seed
plots the best possible care as to cuI-
tivation and irrigation. Each year he

considered nearest the ideal. and has
used these individual tubers for seed
the following year. For this improve
work he used the variety known
as Perfect Peachblow. which. it was

Green Food From Lawn.

A small lawn may be used to ad
vantage in supplying the poultry with
green feed during the summer by
cutting just enough each day to meet
their daily wants. Feed them all they
will eat, but do not cut more than
they will consume. or then you are
wasting valuable feeding matter.

To feed meat to chickens with best
results it should not be cut into tiny
pieces so as e require practically no
effort on the part of the chicks to get
