SUSIE v. POWELL,
State Agent Girls Clubs.

Have just had a letter from the
Farm Canning Co., saying that 1t
will hold the price of Gamers
through the season as listed In the
little booklet
am anxious for my poultry
club members to read pages 8 and
Q of Circular No. 2o8. And make
a homemade egg tester and test a
setting of eggs. Write me an &C
count of how 1t was done. am
going to Hattiesburg on the 4th Of
June to the Government Demon
stration School, and Miss Powell
will be sure to ask me how many
of my girls made the test. Let me
hear from you at once.
Don't forget. girls, about the
prize of that barrel and half barrel
of flour-24 jars In glass shown at
the County Fair. Begin now to
put something of everything as 1t
ripens. The berries are or will be
ripe soon. Put up few jars OF
berries-jam and canned berries
and jelly. Be sure and label 1t. ]
hope we will have quite a compete
ton for these prizes. A barrel
of -four these hard times Is
worth working for. You know
that almost everything that can
be canned In tin cans can be put
up in glass jars. The collection
should be fruit and vegetables.
II any of the giil-' tomato plants
did not do well, ii IS not too late tc
plant now for canning have {
few papers of seeds. If You wan
any just drop me card and I vii
send them to you.

Farmer Neglected.

"Our great financial concerns
have not planned to meet the agri.
cultural demands for capital as
they have those of the commercial
and industrial interests. The farm
er has been woefully neglected IN
this, and has largely been left to
work out his own salvation. Until
farming and finance are as closely
related as commerce and finance,
our great agricultural resources
will never attain their full fruition,
nor our Nation reach its largest
measure of prosperity"
The foregoing from an address
delivered by Mr.. ]. N. Fisher, re.
firing president of the Tennessee
Bankers Association, plainly states
a we'll known fact. The largest
and most important vocation in the
world has been given less attention
in the past than almost any other,
but this condition is rapidly
changing. The financial interests
are coming to recognize its short
sightedness in this respect.
1t might be said also that agri-
culture has been given less study
in the past by those engaged in it
than any other important occupa-
ton. When man failed at other
things, it was thought that be
would have no difficulty in sue
ceeding as a farmer = anybody
could farm. Yet, it has become
an established fact that farming
requires more study and planning
than almost any vocation.

Education the keynote.

The Memphis Tri-State Fair, In
Issuing Its prospectus, thus tells
the object of the fair, which is the
same as that which the Claiborne
County Fair Association adopted
from the beginning:
"The modern agricultural fair
has ceased to be looked upon solely
as an amusement enterprise; edu-
cation Is to day the keynote OF the
successful fair and he progressive
management is devoting It's ener-
giles to developing the fairs edu-
cational features. The agricultural
fair Is primarily a farmers show
and to be useful must give promi-
nence to those features in which
the farmer Is largely interested.
The exhibits must not only be pleas
ing, they must be instructive, they
mast convey to the visitor lessons

successful practice. The fair mus

Tha! c. c. Smith, president OF
the board of penitentiary trustees,
will not be an applicant for the
position of United States marshal
in this district was announced
yesterday when a letter from that
gentleman to Senator Vardaman
withdrawing bis application for
the place was made public.
The letter is self explanatory
and is as follows;
"After a careful consideration |
have decided to withdaw nay ap-
plication for United States mar
shal for the Southern District of
this State. There has heen so
much stir and insinuation in re-
gard to penitentiary affairs reflect
ing on the trustees, have decided
to stay in and serve my term and
ferret TO the bottom and show the
people there is nothing in it except
by a few who would like to see
something crooked especially on
me, and l am sure will be able
to show, since my connection with
the State penitentiary, that my
every act has been for the best in
terest of State and / defy any man
or set of men to show to the con.
trary, and l for further reasons
will state to you when | see you. |
ask you to withdraw my applica-
ton with the President. Clarion

Mississippi with a less acreage
in hay than Alabama. Georgia or
Oklahoma, produces more tons
than either. BY the 1911 reports
OF the Department of Agriculture,
as compiled in the New York
World Almanac, Mississippi grew
2o8. 900 tons on 100000 acres.
This leads every state in the un-
ion in tons per acre, on this side
of the Rocky mountains. Vieks

WEEvILs PLENTIFUL.
Though Decided Increase in Acreage
on Theory That Damage Would
be Decreased.

The boil weevil is making its
appearance in large numbers in
various sections of the county, and
cotton planters are growing uneasy
as a consequence.
Cotton is backward, the cold
spring causing a slow growth, and
in many places, making re-planting
necessary. This makes the case
more critical.
On the assumption that the
weevils gradually pass away af
ter four or FIVE yeras tand this idea
was well grounded, for this has
been the history of other sections
where the weevil has been) large
increase in acreage had been plant
ed in Claiborne-estimated from
IS to IS per cent increase. II the
weevil does as much damage as
formerly the result will probably
be that less cotton may be planted
next year than ever before. The
loss of the crop this year will be a
great hardship to many planters.
However, it may be that the
weevils, though here in large num-
bers, might not do as much dam
age as formerly. This is said to
have been the case in many Sec
tions of the weevil territory.
The past few warm nights have
caused cotton to grow rapidly.
The season, except being cold,
has been ideal for cultivation, and
crops should be in excellent con-
dition.

A NOTABLE FEATURE.
Interesting illustrated Story Anent
Confederate Reunion.

All of our readers are more or
less interested in the great Con-
federate reunion, which is to be
held at Chattanooga, Tenn, May
27-2o. The ranks of the veterans
are fast thinning out, and each
year the interest in their gatherings
becomes more intense. The site
Tor this years reunion is particu-
larly appropriate, as it was the
scene OF some of the most noted
battles of the Civil War. Real
izing the importance of this event,
the Reveille will publish a highly
interesting illustrated article on
these famous battlehelds, written
by James Polk Smart. historian of
the Chattanooga. Chickamauga Ma
tional Park Commission.
