The Tired Woman's Epitaph.

Here lies poor woman, who al
ways was tired; she lived in a
house where help was not hired.
Her last words on earth were:
"Dear friends, ] am going where
washing amt done, nor sweeping,
nor sewing; but everything there
is exact to my wishes, for where
they don't eat there's no washing
of dishes. I'll be where loud an.
thems will always be ringing, but
having no voice, I'll be clear of
the singing. Don't mourn for me
now, don't mourn for me never
Pm going to do nothing for ever
and ever"

Aftermath of the Alfalfa Campaign.
Letter from Prof. Rusk.
Editor the Beacon:

Editor the Beacon:
. In response to your request for q
statement Of the impressions l gained
Of the Black Belt while guest Of your
good people during the recent alfalfa
campaign. take pleasure in assuring
you that believe your country is one
of great possibilities-possibilities the
significance of which we hardly realize
as yet.
Zone thing at a time and do that
we'll" was certainly exemplified in the
recent alfalfa campaign. Yet, potent
as this campaign must necessarily prove
in the agricultural development Of
northeast Mississippi, It did not give
the broadest view Of the country's pos
sibilities. As see it, alfalfa 10 mere
ly a stepping stone to the ultimate de-
velopment Of the Black Belt. The eff
cient and profitable utilization of alfalfa,
rather than its production, will come
nearer marking the goal in your agri-
cultural development.
A truly successful system Of agricul-
ture must meet the problem Of market
ing the produce in such a way that as
much Of its fertility value as possible
will be retained upon the land. One of
the most effective methods Of accom- /
plishing this end is to market the crops
through live stock. and it is the possi-
bilities in the production of live stock |
that attract me to your country most.
The long pasture season, abundance Of
moisture and variety Of nutritious
grasses appeal to me as wonderful natu-
raj advantages for stock farming. True,
you have the problems of tick eradica-
tion and improvement Of native stock,
but the same enterprise that builds
good roads and creameries and conducts
alfalfa campaigns will readily master
these difficulties.
The people who live on the land are
of more import in the agricultural de-
velopment than the intrinsic value of
the soil. A country which continually
sends the best and brainiest Of it's chill
dren to be leaders in the city cannot
reach the highest pcsSiblc agricultural 7
development. Community spirit, de-
yeloped by cooperative handling Of
problems. the spirit that
prompts one to say "oUR creamery,
DUR roads, OUR churches, OUR schools,
DUR problems, etc'-the spirit that :
eads to healthy rivalry in making for
Ehe community good. will attract and
iold the best and brainiest children of :
any land. And I believe I saw that
spirit in Noxubee county. It bespeaks !
prosperity for her agriculture.
Yours very truly.

Only Two Zones.

More than fifty separate seasons for
migratory birds were provided under
statutes in force in 1912. This multi
plicity of regulations or zones To suit
special localities has apparently had
anything but beneficial effect on the
abundance of game. The effort to pro-
vide special seasons for each kind Of
game in each locality merely makes a
chain of open seasons for migratory
birds and allows the continued destruc-
ton of such birds from the beginning
of the first season TO the close Of the
last Ii is believed that better results
will follow the adoption of the fewest
possible number OF zones and so rcgu-
lating the seasons in each as to include
the time when such species is in the
best condition or at the maximum Of
abundance during the autumn.
For this reason the country has been
divided into two zones as nearly equal
as possible. one TO include the states
in which migratory game birds breed
ar would breed IL given reasonable pro
lection. the other the states I'm which
comparatively few species breed. but
I'm which many winter. Within these
zones the seasons are fixed for the
principal natural groups-waterfowls
rail. shore birds and woodcock In no
case does the zone boundary cross a
state line. and except In very rare
cases the seasons are uniform through
out the states. Deviation from this
rule leads ultimately tn the recognition
OF a multiplicity of local seasons.

RULES FOR BIRD
FATHERED.
Interest OF Birds Rather Than
Hunters Is Given First
Consideration.

Asst March federal law was
passed placing game and migra-
IL tory birds under the protection
or the department of agrScul-
ture and authorizing that department
TO form and publish such regulations
rs would assure the desired protection.
The department has issued its rules
and an explanation, so sportsmen need
not go wrong.
Preparation Of the regulations was
intrusted To a committee OF members
Of the biological survey appointed nv
the acting secretary of agriculture
March II, 1913. This committee con-
sists of II. ;. Palmer. assistant chief.
chairman; \. X. Fisher. in charge of
economic Investigations, ana W. w.
Cooke. migratory expert. This com
mittee went into the matter thorough.
ly. examined data on file. had maps
prepared. collected special information
and then made up their rules. which
they duly reported to the secretary.
The committee went on the theory
that regulatory laws heretofore enact
eel for the protection Of game birds
had provided long open seasons and
had been favorable To hunters rather
than to the birds. In the rules pro
posed the committee sought 10 reduce
the open season TO reasonable limits
and To give the birds the benefit Of the
doubt. These regulations differ from
the ordinary restrictions under state
laws, since they take into consdera-
ton the entire range of the species and
the condition of the birds at all times
OF the year, and not merely the local
conditions when certain species Is
most abundant in some particular
state or region. The regulations will
become operative on and after Oct. !,
