OPPOSES "PErTIcoAT" SENTIMENT INTRODUCED IN LEGAL
cAsEs-eoINe AFTER POOL ROOMS MACHINES

Pointing out the urgent necessity
of enforcing the laws of the state, lit
orally, without fear or favor, and ire
spective of personal feelings, and of
consequences, Judge Paul B. Johnson,
in his instructions to the grand jury
at the opening session of the Novem-
Der term of the Forrest county court
today, declared that lax enforcement
and carelessness in seeing that law
breakers get their dues, breeds an.
archy.
"a continuation of such condi-
tion," he declared, will undermine
and finally wreck the state, and even
tually the nation"
His instructions were the most
forceful he ever has given since he
was elevated to the bench. Besides
covering the entire field of crime of
the more fragrant nature, Judge John
son dwelt in detail on the petty and
minor violations of the Mississippi
laws. By permitting the young and
petty culprits to escape, he declared,
the state is cultivating criminals.
"You, of the grand jury" he con-
tinued, must see to it that the laws
are enforced. A majority Of our vio-
lations of the law are due to the fact
that the violators have escaped in the
past. 1t is the duty of grand jurors
to investigate closely and carefully
every violation. and IL the violator is
guilty, indict him. No one should es-
cape. Penitentiary sentences, and
even death sentences may result from

The yards are the same width as the

the front wall. The height of the
front wall is seven feet, the entire
building, outside wall and division
pens, up to height of feet 6 inches
being of cement. The remainder OF
the building is built of timber. The
division walls being built of cement
instead of wire has done away with
all trouble from hogs breaking through
from one pen to another.
This building is giving splendid re.
suits with winter filters at the present

We Should Grow
Our Own Nitrogen
Using Legumes In Our Crop Rotation
Will Save Buying Nitrogen
Fertilizers.
w. E. HANGER.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment


Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The air we breathe is made up of
about 80 per cent. nitrogen, yet every
year we are spending thousands of dol
lars on Maryland farms for nitrogen
to feed our crops. If we could use
this nitrogen in the air, we would
never need to worry about using UP
our supply. On the other hand, the
commercial nitrogen we buy costs
from Is to Is cents pound, and is
easily lost from the soil. So we need
to look for a cheaper and more lasting
form of nitrogen supply.
Certain plants known as legumes
such as the clovers, alfalfa, cow peas,
vetch, and soy beans are able to take
up this nitrogen from the air in small
quantities and store it in their roots.
Beside the nitrogen stored in this way,
we get from to pounds per acre in
the rain fall which may be largely
saved and used by our crops if there
is plenty of humus in the soil. This
last amount is about what we put on
the land in using 200 pounds of com
mercial fertilizer containing per
cent. of nitrogen. Now, when it is
possible to add nitrogen in this fashion
at practically no cost, can we afford
to spend our money for commercial
nitrogen at 20 cents pound?
