what a State platform convention
should be held prior TO the August

Gratis may do. The platform pledges
may determine whether many voters
will desire to participate in the pri-
mary or not. Men do not vote Tor
the candidates but for the things for
which they stand. 1t would be a
strange proceeding to nominate a
set of candidates and then put a
platform under them. regardless OF
whether il is a fit or misfit. Be

a sense of barrassment in stand

nv all means. let us have an early
convention to make a platform and
our candidates will have due notice
to run or not run. No party should
fear to announce its principles. and
IL is rank cowardice to wait to know
what the other fellow thinks.

RAISE BETTER HAY.

Macon, Miss, July 15.-Walter E
Stokes of Macon, president of the
Mississippi Hay Growers Association
has just returned from Niagara Falls
where last week was held the 1916
meeting of the National Hay Growers.
He was accompanied by w. H. Carter
of Columbus, who represented the
chamber of commerce of that city.
These gentlemen carried with them
samples of hay from this section and
the national association tested, CLASH
fed, graded and standardized John
son grass hay, Bermuda hay and les
pedeZa hay, and the grades the asso
citation established of these hays for
the first time will be published in
its official grade book which is used
by every broker and dealer in the
markets of this country and Europe
The lack of this Standardization of
hays has initiated greatly
against the STABILITY of them, and the
action of the National Hay Associa-
tion is of inestimable value to this
section.
The samples carried to Niagara at
tracted much attention and favorable
comment, and were novelties to many
of the northern and western delegates.
Some had never seen Johnson grass
hay, it's feeding value being the cri-
terion, showed it two points better
than timothy. Mr.. Stokes carried
sample of Noxubee alfalfa from
George Richardson's prairie farm, and
it was adjudged the best over hun
dreds of samples of other alfalfa.
The Mississippi Hay Growers AS
ISOLATION meets next Thursday at the
and Mechanical College,
and the president is anxious that all
parties interested in hay growing at
tend. Ample and technical informa-
ton of the action of the national as

dustry will be given at the meeting.

will remain at the island for a week

at Ship Island for several DAYS they
are likely to make a visit to Biloxi. If
they decide to leave the island. they
will proceed at once to New Orleans.
Capt. Lewis said that the mosquitoes
are thicker at Ship Island than they
have been in years. He states that a

winds are coming from that direction
to bring the mosquitoes. He is I'M
