DR.. D. B. Leinieger. who has lately
been appointed a veterinary surgeon in
the United States Army and order to
Fort Robinson. Nebraska, will leave
Macon next week for his new station.
He leaves the Sunny South for a post
in the cold northwest corner of Nebras-
ka where winter fingers long in the lap
OF spring and crowds autumn off the
seat before it gets conf rtab'y settled.
DR.. Leininger has spent some months
in Noxubee as the Inspector sent here
from the national bureau of animal in
dustry and in ckage of the eradication
OF the cattle tick. All the dipping VI t.
in this county have been built under
his supervision. There are 80 now in
the county, more it is said than any
other county in the state.
Despite the prejudice that at first
existed toward the movement forcing
the dipping Of cattle, Dr.. Leininger
leaves nc enemies here. Bis iCvari b e
courtesy and reasonablel e IS were very
effective in removing that pre1jrd c
and the thorough way in which the cat
tie tick has been dealt with here is
largely due to him.

will be accompanied by a good delega-

Weevil in the Seed.

The theory that boil weevils de-.
pOsit their eggs in cotton seed is at
tracing general attention, and
seems to be given a full measure
of credence.
Drew R. Vanandale, a farmer
of the Camden neighborhood in
Madison county, writes to the
Daily News that he has found, af
ter careful examination, that the
weevils have been depositing eggs
in his cotton seed; that he has dis
covered several instances of infes.
tation in the late cotton he is now
picking.
"My advice to the farmers y
says Mr.. Vanandale, lis to save
the very first seed you pick fol
planting purposes next year, and
thus we will aid greatly in the
destruction of this great enemy
of ours"
1t is doubtless good advice, and
should be needed by every farmer

INDIAN CORN.

1t has been limited that the De
%partment of Agriculture contem-
plates starting a propaganda to
make Indian corn, or more properly
maize, the official floral emblem of
the United States. If so, the sug-
gesti0u should take root and grow,
for nothing more suitable from
every standpoint has been proposed
in many years. 1t is not, ofcourse,
necessary that the country adopt
any emblem of this character. But
other nations are represented by
the shamrock, the thistle, the lily,
the chrysanthemum, and what not,
all speaking more of pure senti-
ment than of any additional sig.
nifcant quality. For this country
the choice of Indian corn would be
appropriate on account of its
beauty, its utility, its nativity.
and the important place it has in
the prosperity of the country.
Indian corn is a native of America.
The Indians cultivated it when the
white man first came, and theil
legends carried it back to Maniton,
or Great Spirit, from whom it came
as his choicest gift to man. With.
out it the earlier settlements would
have persisted. 1t grows in all
parts of the United States, and in
its every stage presents varied
charms and attractions, more al.
Turing to the eye than waving
fields of wheat or rice, the whited
cotton, or the splendid sugar cane,
with which it vies in stateliness
and outbreaks in its gorgeousness
and changeful hues of green. One.
third of the human family lives on
rice, but it is not the third that
counts. The date palm is every.
thing to the desert dweller. So is
corn to the American, although
often indirectly. He eats it on tn,
cob and off, makes of it innumber
able kinds of food, turns it into
hogs and cattle, and transmute
its spiritual essence into liquid sun.

II. Agricultural High School


Editor Beacon:
It was my pleasure recently to
visit the Agricultural High School
and, as the people of the county
are naturally interested in its
progress, | thought some of your
readers might like to know what
l saw there.
The dormitory is full on the
first floor and most of the second
floor rooms are full. The matron.
Mrs. R. H. Richardson rs an ex-
cellent lady who takes a mother
ly interest in the girls and boys
under her care. She taught
school for several years before
her marriage and is a kind but
firm disciplinarian. Mr.. J. G.
Chandler, the principal, has the
good will and respect of pupils
and patrons. His work is thorough
as is that of Mr.. Jim Lipscomb,
who is in charge of the agricul-
tural department as we'll as as
sistant of the literary department
The boys working under him
are found Of him and go cheerful
ly to the work he assigns them
in the field.
The intermediate department
is in charge of Mrs. Hurst who
has taught two previous sessions
in that neighborhood and is loved
and respected by the children and
their parents. The children have
made great progress under her
instruction and take pride in it.
The most interesting department
however, is the primary under
Miss Ethel Dorroh. Little child
rem are a very interesting study
and Miss Ethel has a very inter-
esting little crowd. She has had
training under the best teachers
and is fully equipped for her
work, the little fellows are de
voted to her and are repaying the
pains she has taken with them.
They can read very we'll and can
tell the little stories she has
taught them better than many
older people. I think | can safe
ly predict that some of them will
develop into interesting story
tellers.
The children enjoy visitors and
the faculty invite them. It will
prove interesting 70 anyone to
visit the school ane see what they
are doing. 1t will also show that
the people of the country are
taking an interest in this county
institution. A TEACHER.
