A good number of farmers frou

Noxubee county farmers can reasona
bly, expect from their lands If devoted
to grazing grade beef cattle and to ii.
versified farming.
There are a rumber of counties in
the state that already have live stock
associations Some of them are doing
good work, while others are not doing
any good.
| wonder why? Failures are usually
attributable to men who make up or
CARNATIONS. 1t vas thought best to
form an organization broad enough
to embrace every phase of progressive
agriculture in the county or that may
be developed later. The name "Nox.
ubee County Farm Club" was given
the organization, and the intention of
the organizers is that it shall incoi por-
ate into one consistent body beef cattle
farmers, dairymen, hay-growers, seed
men. truckers and any other line of
farming that has any element of prog
ress in it.
1t is not SO much the good lands in
Noxubee county that is attracting 80
much attention now as it 10 the men
who r on these lands. There are
other good lands that are begging buy
ers at $40 an acre; lands as productive
as these. but the progress in evidence
here is because of the men on the lands.
This association Of farmers is good.
Good men were nominated az officers,
men who believe in cooperation and
progress. A nominal society Is more a
determent to a community than the
lack of progress in one man.
The following officers were named:
j. L. Ormesbv, President. breeder Of
shorthorn cattle; Mr.. Cresswell, Vice
President, breeder of shorthorn cattle;
M. Coffman. Secretary, dairyman.
District Officers: F. e. Carleton,
breeder of Aberdeen Angus cattle; Le-
land Hines, dairyman; T. w. jackson,
dairyman; Ed Robbins, breeder of Red
Polled cattle; Minor Russell, breeder of
Aberdeen Angus cattle.
Regulations governing the organiza-
ton will be drafted by Prof. Smith i'm
mediately and forwarded to the secre-
tary.
Every man in the county who loves
the best interest of Noxubee county is
to join this society and help us

From Agricultural Commissioner

This is a year of with
cotton growers in Noxubee county. 1t
should be, too. II this crop is not dam
aged very much and season conditions
are normal, | should never be afraid to
try cotton as a large part of my crop.
Every farm in the county had a heavy
infestation of weevils last September
and October and the winter was mild
and dry, conditions favorable to insect
life in Information.
But to make cotton this year there
are several things you should empha-
size very clearly; When you expect
the army worm you don't hesitate to
prepare tor It's invasion; a d | warn
you now that the boil wevil is more de.
structive than the army worm. The
first thing necessary is to begin cult
walton as early as cotton comes up, or
before, if the land is in good enough
condition to use section harrow or
weeder. The crop doesn't receive a
more beneficial working the whole year
than this.
When the crop is thinned out and
plowed, a close, diligent look should be
made for the weevils. l don't mean
that every stalk should be examined,
but that every man, woman and child
should be instructed where to look for
weevils, and when the first one is found
a closer examination should be made at
once to find out if your field is infested
generally. If you find that it is, then
you should use every available hand to
make a row-to-row search for weevils.
Every stalk should be examined. That
is the important fight, and if 1t is done
well you will make some cotton. The
next thirty days is the time to make
your most effective fight.
am anxious to help every man in
the county, bit l can't go to every
farm and ask permission to help. If
you want my services, write me what
day I can meet you and your neigh
bors and your negroes and l shall do
my best to answer every call. l have
about 80 men | am working with, but
in any community where l haven't a
demonstration, if a call is made for me-,
I'll do my best to answer it.

Editor of the Beacon:
Macon people have followed, with a
good deal of interest, the career of
Prof. J.. w. Sewell, who began lis
work as a teacher in this city. They
will, therefore, be interested in the an
nouncement that he will have charge of
an important part of the work in Eng
fish in the summer school of George
Peabody College for Teachers at Nash
vile, Tenn, beginning June Is and
continuing to August a.
Prof. Sewell's special work at the
summer school of George Peabody Col.
lege for Teachers will be instructing
teachers in the best methods of teach
ing composition in high schools. He
has been engaged in. that character of
work for many years, is the author of
a series of text books or English sub
jects and a recognized authority in his
speciality.
Indications are that the summer
school of the George Peabody College
for Teachers, which will be its first ses-
sion in its new buildings and with it's
endowment of So, 25O, 900. will be the
biggest summer school ever held in the
South.
President Bruce R. Payne has select
