FIRES DUE TO CARELESSNESS

The greater part of the annual fire
waste in the United States, amounting
to nearly $3.50, 100000 Il year, is due to
carelessness. Much of this is personal,
for which property owners are directly
responsible, and much is municipal.
through the federation by the authori-
ties of dangerously lnfamable construc-
uon, laxity in the enforcement of build
ing ordinances and the regulation of
explosives and infamables, failure to
insist upon rubbish being cleaned up,
etc. The average citizen should have
impressed upon him his personal re-
sponsibilitY for his share of the prevent
able fire waste of the country, which is
draining the national wealth. Every
man can at least see that paper, old
boxes and rubbish are not allowed to
accumulate in dangerous places or out
of-the-way and can keep an eye
on his lighting and heating appliances.
If these alone are attended to properly
uedily udll Iue lreS Coulu oe prevented.
In foreign countries the owner of pro-
perty is made responsible for fires origi-
mating on his premises and can be held
for damages done the property of his
neigbor. American independence may
not yet be ready for such a degree OF
regulation, but its necessity could be
avoided if each citizen would feel his
personal responsibility without waiting
for a law to enforce it.

While McCumber, Gronna and Hedge
son have been hollering their heads
off against the new tariff law and pre-,
dieting dire disaster to the country as a
result of it, Congressman Norton OF the
Third district takes a different view of
the matter. In an interview in Grand
Forks the other day, Mr.. Norton stated
that while he did not approve of the
bill, and voted against it., the measure
should be given a far trial and not con.
demned until it had a chance to prove
itself.-Stutsman Co. Democrat.

CHAT WITH OUR JONES
COUNTY FARMERS
The Profit in Tomatoes.

One day last week Mr.. James Nc
Donald, of Hattiesburg, came into
our office to advertise tomato plants
for sale. We found that he largely
grew tomatoes for market, and SO took
advantage OF his presence to inquire
as to the profits, etc, of the business.
Mr.. Mcdonald says he will this
year plant five acres in tomatoes,
and finds ready sale for them at the
cannery in Hattiesburg. He also
raises plants for sale. He says he
has made this business a careful
study, and finds the best tomato to
be smooth -skined, not unusually large,
but with firm meat and very hardy.
He says on ordinary land you can
grow IS tons of tomatoes on an acre,
and the cheapest price he ever sold at
was 80 cent per hundred pounds. This
is about 800 per ton, and which
amounts to $3.50 per acre. Some years
they bring more than this price, and
on rich land the yield can be largely
Increased. He simply gave an average
yield on ordinary land. There is no
more trouble to set out and cultivate
an acre of tomatoes then an acre of
cotton, while there is no comparison
in the profits from the two crops. He
says there is a ready demand for all
the tomatoes grown, and farmers will
have no trouble whatever in dispos
ing of their crops. The only draw
back is that in wet spells the fruit will
sometimes pop open, and are then
worthless.
Mr. Mcdonald says last year from
one-eight OF an acre he made $3.50.
He planted the land first in onions,
and sold them as soon as ready for
market, he then sowed it down in
radishes and mustard, the radish
ripening first, he pulled them out
and marketed when the mustard comes
on
This shows that our Jones county
farmers are not dependen ton cotton
for money crop, for there are many
other things they can grow with tar
less labor and reap much larger in
come.
Mr.. Mcdonald says the finest to-
mato land in the country is found In
Jones county, and it produces that
popular vegetable to the greatest
perfection. He says If our farmers
would turn their attention to raising
tomatoes, they would have money
to burn as it were. They can estab-
lish canneries, and the demand is
great for them.
There is more money in the business
than anything he knows.
The Jones County news., 1913-03-27
Cattle Raising.

This is natural cattle raising
country, and we ought to sell every
year thousands heads Of fat beeves.
We can raise cattle here, With our
mild climate and natural pasturage,
for one-third less than the Western
farmer. And Just here we must say
that those sections that are kicking
against the Supervisors dipping
cattle, on account OF the expense in
CURED, are standing in their own
light. We can never get rid of the
cattle tick and Texas fever withou
this precaution, and the sooner we
eradicate that plague the better. One
old diseased COW or yearling will in
feet a whole section and cause the
loss of>thousands of dollars to cattle
raisers. But let us once free our
county OF the tick, and which can be
done in one year, and then uuaran-
tine against sections that have not
dipped cattle, and we will be all
right. MIR. Wyatt Collins, few weeks
ago, carried herd of fat cattle to
New Orleans and got about six cents
per pound for them. Now, had those
cattle been infected with the tick,
all the feeding he gave them would
have been thrown away, and then il
allowed to be carried to market,
would have brought about three cents.
But when we rid our country of the
Texas fever then we can all safely
and largely embark in the cattle busi-
ness and supply the markets. Then
cattle Will bring us more money every
year than the cotton crop before the
boil weevil came.
You must not try and block the
wheels of progress. When the Super
yisors take such steps as to rid our
county OF the tick, instead of kicking,
you ought to give these faithful and
and wide awake officials your ardent
support. 1t costs no more to raise a
blooded COW or steer, that's easily fat
tened and will bring the highest price
for beef in market, than TO raise one
of those little runty, skin-and- bone
yearlings, for which you can only get
a few dollars. The same thing ap-
plies to hogs, sheep and all manner
of stock. With the same feed you can
make good blooded hog weigh twice
as much at killing time as an old
razor-back. We have seen it tried.
The best hog for this section is the
Berkshire crossed with the Poland
China or Jersey Red. The best cattle
for beef is the Red Pole, or any OF
the large breeds.
Jerseys and Guernseys are only
fit for milk They are not good beef
cattle.

Following in Old Ruts.

There is an old saying that 1t Is
hard to learn an old dog new tricks
Our Jones county farmers have al
ways confined their attention to corn
and cotton, with potatoes and oats
as side crops When the boil weevli
came they were knocked out so lar
a. cotton is concerned, aud have been
depending on syrup, sweet potatoes
and timber and wood for their cash.
INT II Is time that they turned their
attention TO other crops, ana Tor
which there is ever ready market
Potatoes and syrup are all right as
so;Lar-in. hut the market is uncertain,
and the demand not SO great as TO IN
sure ready sale for all that is grown.
We must not put all of our eggs in
ona basket. but cultivate new crops,
40 as where one fails we have others
to fall back on. This section is
natural trucking region, and our
fsrmers ought and can become the most
independent and prosperous people
nm earth. We can here produce any
.nd avsrvthing needed to feed the
world. and with the high price OIL
provisions, handsome profits can be
made. We must quit depending on the
homa m arket, which is uncertain and
soon supplied, and begin to plant Tor
export. We ought to organize ana
an,oint committees to investigate the
different markets and see for which
.crop there is the greatest demand
and where we can sell to the best
advantage. The outside "orid Is
hungering for the good things we can
produce here, and in nine-tenths oil
them there is more money than IN
cotton. We must get out of those old
beaten tracks and follow new roads.
Just because our daddies, when they
went to mill, put pine-knots in one
end of the sack and corn in the other,
is no reason why We need now follow
their example. There il not an acre ol
cut-over land in Jones county bu'

bark extensively in the trucking
