| The U. S. has approximately sew
en- and a half million farmers to
Germany's nine and three-quarter
millions and but one-third of that
number, which we call our big red
barn farmers" are making two per
cent on the money invested. One
third of them are just making ex-
penses and the remaining third are
losing money.
DIR. c. G. Hopkings, soil expert of
Illinois said: Ordinary farming is
not highly remunerative occupa-
tion, but intelligent soil-improve-
ment Is the most profitable business
in which an honest man can engage" ="
The average farmer works twelve
hours day and many farmers work
fifteen, the time being regulated by
the amount of hard work applied,
1t cost $500 to supply the average
farm family of five with the chief
necessities of life according to Govt.
reports, and $40O worth of that
comes from the farm, the average
farm yielding a fair living. Is it
small wonder that many farm boys,
who have received part education,
compare the proceeds from farmers
toll with that of a city occupation
and weigh them on his mental scales?
That is one reason why sixteen per
cent of the farmers sons who receive
college education return to the
farm.
This lack of ability to wrest more
than a living from the soil is partly
due to lack of education in the past,
but now the farmer is passing from
the rule of thumb method and has
commenced to work his farm with
his head in place of his hands or
rather applying head work TO the
use of his hands.
Gone is the little log school-house
going are the small. white school
houses, and here are the large, mod

houses of the county. Vehicles of
the carry-all type make the rounds
every morning, collecting every pu-
pill within radius of five miles and
bringing them to centralized school,
returning them to their respective
homes in the evening. There is e.
economy plus efficiency which equals
results.
The consolidated country schools
are getting splendid results from the
stand point of learning, but they are
more than schools; they are social
centers. The modern. successful far

butter factories, the remainder re-
turning to their parental homes to
apply their learning to their fathers

The most important work, how
ever, done by the universities is the
teaching of the present day farmers
This is done by bulletins, demon
stration cars, field demonstrations,
lectures, and the press. The bulle-
tins are issued like the governments 8
with the same splendid results. The
demonstration cars are fitted with
every kind of practical and econom-
ical devices for farm use from the
dairy to the poultry department.
These cars stop at towns on stated
dates and experts lecture on the use
and advantages Of the various ma
chinery and devices. sometimes
forcing home their arguments with
the use of lantern slides in addition
to their demonstrations.
The high-salaried 'farm-hands"
who receive from 81 900 to $4,000
per annum for their services in the
extension dept, go from farm to
farm suggesting new methods, advis-
ing what to plant, making farm sur
veys, planning corporations, intact
studying each individual farm and
farmer and giving his expert advice.
Since the advent of the r. F. D.,
the farmers mail box is being filled
with farm newspapers and maga-
zines. The editors and contributors
of these mediums are as rule prac-
tical farmers and experts, any ques-
tlon the farmer may send in, whether
it pertains to lawsuit. stock dis
ease or grain-smut, will be readily
answered. Besides these question
columns, farm news, and advertise
ments (the latter in many cases be-
ing backed by the guarantee of the
magazine) there are also the pages
for the house wife and children,
which Is a new step in journalism.
Some papers, as we'll as fair as
sociations, hold corn-growing con-
tests tor the boys and cooking and
canning contests for the girls; and
are the direct means of keeping
many future farmers on the farm. A
large number of the boys and girls
participate in the contests, which
not only gives them an added inter-
est in the work and an incentive to
obtain the best results, but often
gives them an objective IN life which
is one thing every boy or girl needs
to make him or her good and USE

Years ago the farm boy was some
times given a calf for his own. but
after caring for it up to it's maturity
he would see his father take the

ceeds of the sale in his own pocket.

SAYS LIFE WAS THREATENED.

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 26. - Police of.
ficers of the city were called to the
eastern section of Biloxi late Sunday
night in the response of a telephone
call stating that a large number of
men had threatened the life of Toby
Mathews, member of the crew of one
of the boats bringing shrimp to the
packing plant of the Foster-Fountain
Company. Mathews claimed that a
large number of men, presumably
me- 'bers of the striking shrimpers,
had 'hased him from his residence
threat, ling to take his life.
Mathews took refuge in the yard of
J. F. Wentzell, foreman of the Dun
bers, Lopez & Dukate Packing Com
pany in this city, and it was by the
efforts of Mr.. Wentzell that the band
of men were dispersed, but at the re-
quest of Mathews and his father, who
recently returned to this city, they
were both locked III the city jail for
the night for safe-keeping.

have the National Highways go
through some other state Citizens of
other states get out en- masse and
get teams and shovels and petition
and use every means at their com
mand to get National Highway to
come through their state and their
locality. Such a highway means not
only having the attention of the ma
ton called to our state, and the con-
sequent coming of thousands of peO-
pie to it, but it means a great i'm
provement in our agriculture with a
vast increase in the wealth of the
state. 1t is almost equal in benefit to
a railroad. On account of the large
amount of uncultivated land in Missis-
sippi which pays very little tax and
of the lack of wealth generally in our
state, it is a difficult matter to get
roads built, and every citizen in Mis-
sissippi should put their shoulder to
the wheel and boost and not roast
good road efforts"
Mr.. Lyle also stated an effort
would be made to extend the mem
bership of the road association and
assess a small annual fee against the
members, the proceeds to be devoted
to the betterment of roads.

room, and Immediately retired. The
man attracted practically no attention
about the hotel, Or about Richton.

morning, and stationed himself in
front of the hotel. He had been there
but a few moments when Bradley, on

is quoted as having said.
Witnesses declare that a look of
surprise came over the face of Brad
ley, but this later changed to one of
relief as the Louisianan continued his
conversation. The two men talked
between themselves for some minutes,
when the pair started up the railroad
track toward Bradley's home. Leverett
placed his arm through the right arm
of Bradley, and in this position the
pair strolled away, apparently the
best of friends.
When a short distance from the
hotel, the men were seen to stop, and
after exchanging a few additional re-
marks, each turned as if to so in diff
ferent directions. There was re-
port of a pistol, followed instantly by
another explosion. Leverett was seen
to have hold of Bradley's right arm
until after the first shot, when the
sawyer broke away and started to
run. Two additional shots were fired,
and Bradley tumbled to the earth
Leverett gave one look at the PROSTATE
form, turned on his heels, and return
ed to the hotel, still carrying the hot
and smoking revolver in his hand.
Bradley, it developed this after

'The criticism of the newly
logged road to Hattiesburg made
by Postmaster and Mrs. n
ID. Goodwin, of this city, who
recently made the trip by motor from
| the Hub City to the coast, is some
what misleading" said NJ. Lyle, Sec
rotary of the Mississippi and Gulf
Coast Highway Association, to a rep
resentative of The News today. "Such
criticism, unless explained, would
lead people to believe that it was bet
ter not to have had log made of the
roads, and not to work them.
''The road over which Mr.. Good
win travelled from Bond to Hatties-
burg had been recently worked and
the dirt scraped by road scraper to
the center of the road" continued
Mr.. Lytle. Immediately following
the placing of the dirt, we had some
extremely heavy rains which soften
ed the clay and made it sticky. Such
would be the case anywhere on earth.
A few days of sunshine will make the
dirt solid and the grading and ditch
ing will run the water away and make
a much better highway.
las a matter OF fact, no place in
the world can have a road suitable
for first class automobile traffic after
rains such as we have had recently
unless the roads are gravelled or mac
adamiZed. But before this can be
done they must be properly graded
and ditched. The good road from
Gulfport to Lyman, about which Mr.
Goodwin speaks has been graded and
gravelled and the Gulf Coast and Mis-
sissippi Highway Association, which
logged the road to Hattiesburg, with
out a dollar of funds on which to
work, is lending every energy to have
the road graded and graveled Bonds
have already been issued in two of
the counties along their route to
gravel the road entirely through their
counties and the work will soon begin.
