About Storing Cotton.

Local Manager ShoaF of the
Gulf Compress Company is dis
trIbutlng cards, showing by com
parIson and illustration the net
receipts for four bales of cotton
held on the farm for one year and
four bales stored at the compress
warehouse for the same period.
This Is a matter of vital interest
to every farmer In Mississippi, and
the information contained on this
card IL intelligently heeded will be
the means of saving hundreds OF
dollars to the cotton producers OF
this state. While great deal of
time and money has been spent In
educating the farmer In regard to
the best method of planting and
working his crop, the kind of seed
to use, etc., q number OF them still
store their cotton In an old shed
the wood house, ont In the wealth
er, where 1t is exposed to rain and
sunshine alike.
| According to the figures giver
out by the Gulf Compress Com
lpany, the cost of taking care of {
bale Of cotton according to thil
| method, which, of course, includes
damaged cotton, loss In weight
ETC., Is $I4.25 per bale, and thi
does NOT include insurance, as th'
farmer has been taking his owl
risk. This cotton would have beef
cared for by the compress COMPANY
for the small amount Of $I.35 pc
bale for the full year.

EGG SELLING ASSOCIATION.
What II Means to Those Who Have
Eggs TO Put on the Market.


The October pay roll has just
turned more than one hundred
dollars "egg money! into the
pockets of the eighteen farmers,
who are members of the Co.opera-
tive Egg Selling Association at the
Mississippi A. & NJ. College. This
was the first egg selling association
established In Mississippi and has
been In operation for several years.
During the past year 1t has been
returning as much as $I7 each
month to some of its members.
The association secures a mark
ct. crates, and ships the eggs and
returns 81 cents to the farmer for
every dozen eggs he furnishes.
The remaining three cents covers
the cost of express and Grating, nc
4
charge being made for the services
of E. P. Clayton OF the Poultry
Department who handles the eggs
for the members. The association
is now shipping 90 dozen fresh
eggs every week.
A number of these egg selling
associations are doing good work
In the state. Without cooperating
the farmers get only the marke
price for their eggs, whereas. bs
shipping together as they are do
ling they not only get more "egl
money" from the same number o
hens but are encouraged to In
prove their poultry and TO use bet

farms.

''The Kings Business Requtreth
Haste"
AS our meeting is to begin on
next Sabbath, we take this method
of making one more appeal to our
Christian brethren. Surely "the
Kings business" is sufficiently ur-
gent toimpeI us to leave our own
business and devote at least one
week to His affairs.
We are not unmindful of the
fact that many of our men are
forced to remain at their respective
posts; but, whenever it is possible,
we ask, as a personal favor, that
our men refrain from making en-
gagements which will interfere
with the services of the sanctuary.
To those who have never felt
any special interest in the Gospel
we extend a most cordial invita-.
ton. DR.. Boyd is not only an
attractive speaker, but a lover of
men. He will present the claims
of the Gospel so as to appeal both
to mind and heart. We shall also
be pleased to have our Jewish
friends attend whenever it is pos
sible. The singing will be good.
Indeed we hope that each service
may have some thing which will
prove beneficial to any one regard.
