FACTS FOR FARMERS

Nearly six million dozen eggs were
imported into this country in 1911, ae,
cording TO Commerce and Navigation
Of the United States. 1914" oniy a
million ard half dozen were import
ed in 1913. OF dried yolks and frozen
eggs there were imported in 1919
only 22s,00o pounds but in 1914 the
importations grew TO 100000. an in
crease Of 500 per cent. Why this
increase? In 1913 eggs paid an i'm
port duty Of FIVE cents dozen but in
1914 were free. Yolks and frozen
eggs were kept out by Is per cent
ad valorem duty in 1918 but this was
reduced 10 10 per cent in 1914.

And some in far Japan;

the Democratic party may be that we

Heretofore England imported, these

London papers state that the exhi-

edly why the plan OF the government
is meeting with opposition He stated
that Sir William Perkins had sold his
factory in 1874 not only because he
wanted to devote himself to his scien-
tihic Investigations, but also because
he recognized that his products could
not compete with the rising German
competition as long as they did not
have number OF competent chemists
for the development of the methods
in use, and especially for new inva>.,
tions.
No Available Scientists
Such recruits were sought in vain
at the English universities, for many
of these. especially oxford and Cam.
bridge, but also the Scotch universi-
ties, had not contributed anything in
the last half of the previous century
to the advancement of organic chem.
istry, whereas in Germany, as soon aa
the great importance of tar products
had become known, special schools
for that purpose were established by
such teachers at Liebig, Wohler. Ke-
kule and Baeyer.
Professor Perkins expressed his ap-
probation of the fact that a few
newly founded English universities
had devoted more attention to or
ganic chemistry. but expressed his
great disapproval of the existing Eng
lish dye works. A comparison with
the German works would rebound
greatly to the discredit of the former.
They would have TO be equipped very
differently and made uniform.
For this reason also the proposal of
the government to take over the pres
ent works was of very doubtful value..

WORKING FOR CROPS.

Scooba, Miss, July 81. - Farmers
through here have been doing some
strenuous work in their crops since
the continued rains of three weeks du-
ration ceased. None to amount to any
thing has fallen in about a weeks
time. Grass had gotten decidedly the
upper hand of everything, but crops
are now looking much cleaner. Some
corn was planted the first of July.
This is now up and growing nicely.
Other crops such as peas. ribbon cane,
sorghum, peanuts. etc.. are growing
nicely. Corn of all ages is good, par
ticularly the old corn. Never before
has there been such a crop of sweet
potatoes planted. Almost every plan
ter has a good deal of land planted to
them. Irish potatoes. that were in
many instances a failure early in the
spring are being planted again.

method of teaching the lessons, said
Mr. Leavell, "a child knows no more
about the Bible when he gets through
the six years as he did before he be-
gan. We should have maps to aid us
and we should teach the lessons with
an idea of their forming a systematic
study of the Bible and not as an iso-
lated item. To get the best results,
teachers must take the initiative.
They must do home study of their
own. The man or woman who studies
only the quarterly had just as well
throw his efforts to the winds. The
teacher must know what he teaches
as teaching the Sunday school lessons
is a deep business"
Tomorrow morning Mr.. Leavell will
devote ten minutes of his time to an
swering questions pertaining to Sun
day school work.

ell with another of his soulstirring

the ministers try to preach in their
