Fumigating Nursery Stock.

A wooden box such as dry goods
box lined with building paper makes
a convenient receptacle for fumigat-
ing the plants. Calculate the space
inside the box in cubic feet and allow
one ounce of potassium cyanide for
each 100 cubic feet. Place the stock
loosely in the box and do not fill too
full. On top of the plants put an old
tin can or earthenware crock contain
ing one and one-half ounces of sui
phuric acid and two and one half
ounces water. Wrap the weighed
cyanide in soft paper and when every
thing is in readiness drop it into the
diluted acid closing the lid i'm
mediately. Fumigate from 30 to 40
minutes after which raise the lid and
air out the contents.
The gas generated is extremely
poisonous and under no circumstances
should be breathed. 1t is necessary
to use pure cyanide. Lump cyanide
often contains as low as 40 per cent
actual cyanide while the pure cyanide
contains about 95 per cent. If the
pure cyanide is not obtainable make
allowance for the weaker material.
Cyanide and sulphuric acid can be
purchased through any druggist. The
strength of the cyanide is usually
prin ted on the container.
For CRAFTS and scions it is we'll to
use less cyanide, say, two thirds of
an ounce to the 100 cubic feet.
Fumigation should be done before
buds open. Do not try to fumigate
evergreens.

About six months ago the company
established a retail market at West
lake Avenue, the report showed that
1t had been run at loss but a change
of management has been made and the
market will be continued. There is
every reason to believe that it will at
least pay expenses from now on and
furnish a outlet for the large amount
of poultry and fruit which is sent to
the main store.

Stockholders Meet.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Producers d Con-
sumers' Union, best known as the
Grange Store of Seattle. was held on
Tuesday, January 9th, at the Labor
Temple in Seattle. The meeting was
attended by more than one hundred
men and the interest was intense dur
ing the entire day.
It was shown that the stock holders
now number about 900 and that about
$50. 600 worth OF stock has been sub
scribed. 1t was shown that $50, 600
worth of business was done at the
Western Avenue store since July.
The store has been esta blished only
one year. The plan is to take farmers
products and handle on a commission
of ten per cent, similar to the regular
commission house. The books had
been exported by accountants and
showed that about $1,000 had so far
been lost on the store, but that good
financial standing had now been
established and the members were
satisfied that it took no more money
than that to establish the business.
1t is believed that it will pay from
this time.

Why Not Attend Winter
School This Year.

Most of the Agricultural Colleges
have winter schools for farmers.
These schools are being more and
more generally attended by young
men and women as we'll as by farmers
of mature years and experience.
They are planned to come at the season
of the year when farm work is least
pressing and when a trip away from
ness men take their vacation in the
summer when their trade is lightest
and seek the recreation which will
best fit them for their work during
the rest of the year. Why should
not farmers take six weeks at the
winter school as a profitable vacation?
The winter school at the State
College at Pullman is being planned
for this year to be especially attract
i've. The courses are arranged SO as
to give six weeks of thoroughly practi

production, in fruit growing, in live

to this special illustrated evening
lectures, plays, musical programs
and other pleasant attractions are
hejnp arranged bV the faculty and

GOOD ROAD LAW.

Among the laws passed by the
Legislature, just adjourned which
are of special interest to Noxubee
county, is the Barbce Road Law,
providing that where public high
ways of a supervisors district are
being improved or constructed un-
der the 1910 road law, such roads
passing through incorporated
municipalities shall have as much
spent, per mile, within as without
the corporation. This includes no
side-streets, and provision is made
for the town to add as much more
money as they may elect toward
the Improvement of such road
within its borders.
This is only just; and besides it
helps good roads in that it dispos.
es the voters of a district who
live in such towns to vote for
bonds or otherwise for good roads.
The author of this law, Mr.. J..
W. Barbee of DeSoto county, met
much unwise opposition to his law,
but it was successfully passed,
greatly to his credit. =

AGRTCUL TURALLSTC
POLITICS

Several times during the late
session of the Legislature the at
tention Of thinking men was
sharply called to the fact that
neutrality-suspicious. often unwisely
voted against laws which were
for the farmers benefit, The
same sort of thing now bobs up
in country opposition to the pro-
posed good roads movement in
Noxubee.
Of course good roads are a
great pleasure to owners of auto
mobiles and their friends, but
they have no heavy loads of hay,
cotton or corn to haul in the win
ter months. The good that auto
mobiles are doing in the way Of
good roads is in making men
good, big taxpayers generally,
interested and willing to be taxed
for good roads, who a few years
ago were Indifferent or opposed
to spending much money on pub
lie highways.
The farmer is the man vitality
interested in good roads. If bonds
are issued he will only pay his
proportionate part of the expense
along with the merchant, the
banker, the lawyer, dentist. CAPT
talist-the butcher, baker and
candle stick maker.
Let's see how much he is taxed
now with bad roads. One prai
RE farmer this week sold several
tons of hay at his farm for Sc a
ton, which same hay was selling
at the railroad station, six miles
away, for 500 or $12a tor. That's
what he paid-without improving
the road either. Nor is this an
isolated case.
Annually the farmers of Noxu-
bee county are being heavily
taxed by the bad roads, without
any compensation whatever. In
the name of common sense, let
them be taxed lightly along with
all other citizens for a term of
years and be a hundred-fold COM
pensated by fine public highways.
