Miss Margaret M. Laekey, State
Corresponding Secretary for the
Women's Missionary Union, auxili-
AIRY to the Mississippi Baptist Con-
vention closed her report on Nov.
1st. The report which will be
presented to the Convention next
week shows a total of $58. 1886. 26
contributed by Baptist women of
the State for all objects of their or
ganization. This sum is a thrifty
per cent gain over the receipts for
last conventional year. Since her
books were closed Miss Lackey has
received more than 50, 600 addition
al.
Miss I.ackey seems to be the
woman sent to the kingdom for
such a time as this. She is the
most effective worker we know; and
everywhere is an inspiration to the
Baptist women of Mississippi who
respond to her call as they have not
to any other leader.

GROWING WINTER OATS IN
THE SOUTH...pLART NOW

| Washington, u. c., - Every
southern farmer should grow enough
oats to feed his work stock during
at least portion of the year In
addition to furnishing feed
grain at less cost than it can be
purchased. fall sown oats prevent
the washing of the soil by which
much fertility is frequently lost.
There is still time to SOW winter
oats in the Gulf States, though this
work should be done at once if good
results are to be ordained. Ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
oats sown in the Southern States
during October or the first half of
November may be expected to pro-
duce at least twice the yield of
grain obtained from spring seeding.
Winter grain may be soWn on
land which produced a crop of cot
ton, corn or cowpeas the past sum-
mer. II this land has not already
been plowed, it will be better to
make the surface soil fine and loose
with the disk or drag harrow than
to delay seeding by plowing now.
Better results are obtained from
sowing with the drill than from
broadcasting seeding, though if a
drill is not available sowing the
seed broadcast on well-prepared
land usually results in a good stand
If the preceding crop was we'll fer
tilted, 100 to 200 pounds of acid
phosphate will be all that the oats
require this fall. though a little nj.
trate of soda will help the fall
growth. especially if the soil is not
already we'll supplied with nitrogen
from the growing Of cowpeas or
some other legume. A top dress
ing of so to 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda applied when growth starts
in the spring will greatly increase
the yield.
The variety of winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is
Red Rust Proof, Appler, Lawson,
Hundred Bushel. Bancroft and Cook
are selections or strains of Red
Rust-proof which are said to be
particularly valuable in some local
tiles The Fulgham is a promising
new variety which natures week
or ten days earlier than the Red
Rustproof, and usually produces as
much or more grain AS the ker-
nels of all these varieties are large,
from 2 1-2 to l-2 bushels should
be sown to the acre, The smaller
quantity is sufficient if the seed is
drilled early on well-prepared land,
while 3 bushels or more are needed
when the seed is sown broadcast
late in the season.
The Winter Turf or Virginia
Gray is very hardy variety which
is valuable for pasture or hay pro-
duction, but which does not yield
as much grain in the Southern
States as the Red Rustproof. On
account of the small size of the
kernels, only l IL bushels of seed
to this variety are required.

A TIMELY ADMONITION TO ECONOMY
AND GOOD SENSE.

Eating has been found quite nec-
essary to .prolong life; but there
is eating and then eating! Per.
haps the Domestic Science being
taught our children has come for
just such a time as this, not to
speak of the cost of high living as
one of the results of the World-war
We want to retrench. We want
to discover the nutritious eats"
the food that will build and devel.
op; and call halt on the expen-
sive. enervating. nerve-racking
stuus we have called delightful"
and lovely" regardless of pocket
books and health, and sometimes
appetite itself.
If we do net do this, we are
gong to come to a time when we
will be compelled to, by the ex-
igencies of the times and because
of our disregard of what now is as
plain as the nose on your face.
Everything is going to come out
all right"-if we "just wait long
enough" and use common sense,
entertain practical ideas, and do
the courageous thing while we are
waiting. 1t takes bit of courage
to wear last season dress or hat or
to leave off few courses at dinner,
in full view of ones social friends
and associates; but the woman that
does do it is going to be the lead
ing lady in this drama of life we
are playing just now.
| Here in Brookhaven, we all know
each other so we'll, that it reaIlydoes
not take clothes to commend any Of
US to the rest of Us. Each one is pass
ing for just what he or she is, re.
gardless of personal adornment and
the setting of highly seasoned"
table or money uselessIy spent.
| Let's be sensible for awhiIe-a at
least until the tide comes in few
years hence, bearing on its bosom
the treasures we shall have helped
to bring by our economy: by our
intelligence; BY our thrift and fore.
sight
Prosperity is ahead: but il can.
not be enticed by reckless and ex-
trayagant expenditures for "some.
thing to wear" and something to
eat" We are hindering instead
of helping by not locking the times
squarely in the face. and learning
the lesson there plainly seen it il
the lesson our forefatbers and
mothers "knew''-the lesson Of
economyi
The future will undoubtedly take
care of itself. ii we take care Of
the present.
Let's do 1t by protecting our re-
sources. regardless of what our
FOOLISH friends may think.

NOT TOO LATE FOR OATS.
Some Interesting Facts and Figures
On Crop DiVersificatiOn by Dem
OnStratOr ParReII.

There should be at least 10, ,00(
acres planted in oats in Lincolr
County this year. There are 5124
horses and mules in the county
1896 horses. 22l4 mules, 447 horse
colts and 68 mule colts-so you
cau see at once that 10, 900 acres in
oats will be less than two acres tc
the horse or mule.
On our ordinary land oats plant.
ed by the first of December will
make more feed than the same land
planted in corn without fertilizer
OF course October or November il
the proper time to plant oats but
have seen a good crop planted the
first of December. There are lots
of catch crops to follow the oats.

Vile was charged with breach of
