CROW, DANGEROUS ONLY IN
NUMBERS.

The one danger from the crow, &C
cording to Department experts, lies in
large numbers. If the number can be
kept down so that it's normal food is
sufficient, there is every reason why
farmers should encourage the bird to
remain about their farms. Not long
ago an agent of the Department was
watching crow feeding In a corn
field. 1t seemed that the bird was pull
ing up young corn and carrying it to
a nearby nest to feed its young. After
the crow had left the nest the agent
climbed the tree and secured the young
birds. An examination showed that
instead of young corn or the kernel of
the corn, the older bird had been feed
ing the young ones with cut worms
gathered from around the corn plants.

is HUMANITY WEARING ITSELF
OUT?

Wichita Beacon:
The average span of human life il
being slowly prolonged and at the
same time human life is growing
shorter.
You ask, "How can this be-" Lei
us explain the paradox.
Suppose that of 10000 persons dy
ing so years ago, 5000 were babies
who died in their first year; 1000 be-
tween and 10; 1000 between 10 and
40, and the last 1000 above 40.
Then, suppose that 10000 deaths dur.
ing 1914, only 5000 were to he OF
babies, the others so distributed as to
make, for the whole 10000, larger
totai of years of life than was enjoy
ed by the 10000 of so years ago; but
with the expectancy of life at the age
of 40 actually less than ever before.
This would give longer average
span of life, but it would also show
that human life is growing shorter.
And that is what is happening, the
experts tell US, in every country in
the world except one-Sweden.
We are conQuering the epidemics,
those whirlwinds of disease which
sweep humanity away by the thou.
sands.
But we are being gradually con-
quered by the organic diseases, the
wear and tear of unwholesome living
conditions upon bodily organs not yet
adjusted by evolution.
Our nerves, our livers, our stomachs,
our hearts and arteries are not hold
ing out as they did in days of old,
when life was easier, simpler.
Fewer die when very young, but
more die ere they have become very
old.
The reason Sweden is actually pro-
longing life is because the people of
Sweden are learning to live normally
and are making health rather than
wealth their prime consideration. The
people of Sweden are refusing to wear
themselves out in a crazy rush for
gold. Moreover the Swedes are an
outdoor people. They toll to live.
They don't live to toll.
We can lengthen our lives when-
ever we want to. There is nothing
mysterious about the process. Almost
every child can tell you how to do it.
It's the doing of it that sticks.

INDIAN STRAIN HELPFUL TO
CATTLE.

Woodville Republican:
An eminent stock breeder says:
While we are hoping to drive the cat
tie ticks out of the Southern States
entirely, it will take some years yet
to do 1t, and even then think that a
cross of Indian blood on the cattle of
the Gulf coast would be exceedingly
valuable"
The cross-breeding of the Brahma
cattle with Herefords has been carried
on for several years past most sue
cessfully by Hon. R. e. Thompson, of
East Feliciana parish, and his son, Mr..
R. e. Thompson, Jr., is following the
same ideas in his cattle raising indus
try in this county. The cross between
the Brahma and the Hereford produces
fine specimens which are not only
strong and active but grow very rap
idly under ordinary conditions. 1t is
unquestionably fact that these cattle
are found to be practically free from
ticks even when cattle of other breeds
in the same pasture are covered with
the parasites. OF course the Brahma
cattle have their disadvantages, prom.
inent among which is the fact that
great care must be exercised in hand
ling them. However, a trial OF cross
breeding Is well worth the money ex-
pended to those who are engaged in
stock raising.

STILL THE ALL-LEvEE QUESTION

lCountry Review:
| What the people of the Mississippi
Valley demand is protection from over
flow. AS we understand it, what the
promoters of the convention, called to
meet in New Orleans the latter part of
November, demand is levees three
feet higher than they are at present.
Thereby perennial provision will be
made for political spoilsmen, but the
breaks, when they do occur, will be in
finitely more disastrous than now, be-
cause of the vastly greater volume of
water piled up between the levees.
The people have listened to the all
levee engineers and have been harried
with destruction, death and bankrupt
cy as their reward. Their great river,
once the mightiest highway of com.
merce on earth, has become almost
dry branch in autumn and an over
whelming and irresistible torrent,
bringing desolation and death in it's
wake, in the spring and early summer.
Keep this up and the politicians and
contractors will thrive for the next
thousand years, but the people will
drown and their substance will be
wasted. A change is urgently de.
manded. Outlets, bank protection,
reservoirs--everything provided for
by the Newlands bill, and then some
If necessary, are the things the people
want. Politicians have ridden this
question quite long enough; it is time
for the people to have an inning.

SAME OLD ELBOW GREASE USED

Claiborne Guardian Journal:
Mr.. Tom Beene told us few days
ago of a negro, Jim ellis, who made
a little over bale of cotton per acre
on old hill land, with less than 500
pounds of commercial fertilizer per
acre. And we believe we have refer
red to the negro, Jim Tins, who has
made seventeen bales of cotton, four
hundred bushels of potatoes, and corn
in like proportion, with two pillow mules
on what is known as the poor farm
near Homer, the greater part of the
land having been cleared fifty years.
