enough to show that there has

when the enforcement of the law
suddenly deprived habitual drug
users of their accustomed supply,
there would be a serious outbreak

The new national law requires
that the physicians who prescribe
opium or its derivatives and the
druggists who sell it shall take
out special licenses. The pre-
scrlptions must be written on
special blanks. can be used only
once, and must be kept on file for
two years. Druggists must keep
their prescription records and
their stocks of narcotic drugs
open to the inspection of govern
ment officers, They can get such
drugs only from wholesalers and
under certain restrictions. The

In recent years the use both

Corn and Sorghum as SiIdRe.

There are quite a few crops
that NAV be used for silage, but
corn and sorghum have general
ly given the best results. Both
Of these crops make a high quail
lty of silage when put up proper
ly and at the right stage.
Corn has generally been con-
sldered the best of all crops for
this purpose. but recently sorg-
hum has made a deep impression
in Mississippi with most of those
who have tried it. 1t is true that
corn analyses the higher of the
two and is worth more per ton,
but will not produce so great a
Tonnage per acre, Then too, sorg-
hum is a surer crop to follow oats,
clover and other winter crops as
1t will withstand more drouth.
1t can also usually be cultivated
at less expense than corn: so these
things will frequently more than
offset the advantages of the corn.
AT this station the relative
values of different silages were
tried. Corn stood first in pro-
ductlon of beef per ton but the
steers on sorghum were a close
second, taking just as good finish
or rather selling for the same
price in st, Louis market and
made almost as good gains.
THESE steers were divided into
lots of five and fed the same
amount of meal and silage. Those
receiving corn silage and meal
made a total gain of 1919 lbs,
while those on sorghum silape
made a total gain of 1884 lbs, or
a difference of only 125 lbs in a
lao day feed period.
The Kansas station carried on
this work for three years, TAX
ing into consideration the Weld
per acre also. The average weld
per acre with corn was II tons,
while sorghum was II tons. The
results were practically the same
as here, the corn giving some
what higher gains per ton but
figured on acre basis sorghum led
by 80 per cent.
Under average Mississippi con-
dltlonS sorghum will yield from
.ne-third to one-half more ton,
mage per acre if the right variet-
les are used; that is one of the
growing varieties such as
neck, Japanese Sorghum
and Texas ribbon seed sorghum.
the latter one usually giving best
results. 1t would be we'll to get
Mississippi grown seed if posi-
ole.

Tor sllage be sure to let it ripen

II % can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their
doubling, too;
II you can wait and be tired by wait
ing,
Or being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to
hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise.
II you can dream-and not make
dreams your master,
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two imposters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
WORKOUT tools.
II you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk II on one turn of pitch
and-toss.
And lose. and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe a word about
your loss;
II you can force your heart and
nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is moth
ing in you
Except the VIII which says to
them: Hold on"
If you can walk with crowds and
keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the
common touch,
II neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
II all men count with you. but
none to much;
II you can fill the unforgiving min
With sixty seconds worth of dis
lance won
Yours is the Earth on everything
that's in IL
And-what is more-youm be a
man, my son.
-Kipling.
