The hummer. (Houston, Miss.) 1914-19??, 1915-11-12

Messrs Walter Chandler and j. L. JagOe of 0kOOna,
Harry Bays of Woodland and O. M Harr of HOulka and
Messrs L. T. Fox and W. E. Scott all prominent bankers
and business of their respective localities in
Houston Wednesday if government expert Demon
stratOn Agent could be secured for Chckasaw county
large number of counties in the state have these
and you only have to read the papers to tell the
difference in the progress of those with them and without
them News from all the of big crops of
this and that things grown on one acre where the old
timers worked Dozen and many other startling results
where scientific farming made good Poor old Chickasaw
gets prize nice mention like other
counties who have agents at the call of any farmer in his
district Chickasaw must come across.
This generally gets 81 800 per year for he an
EXPERT and worth it. Ghe government furnishes $500
and the rest up the county He goes from house to
house. makes talks farming at every crossroads Or
small store and has ready for any question the
farmers might ask him any farm subject He teaches
them how to make daryng pay hog raising poultry cat
tie mules sheep goats horses how put up sOs how O
do everything the farm at the least expense He
KNOWS his work for the government has tested him and
the department always send man who can HELP in
whatever way the farmers desire He has been in many
states studying SOIL incubation growth here and there
under all conditions just what soil needs by analysis just
how certain lands should produce certain crops and how
other fellow has made good In that way he gets practi
cal training like that is worth unlimited good to
the people
Where these have worked in other counties they
have made the most progressive strides ever known to
Mississippi agriculture We get dozens of county papers
and always tell whether the county of each publ
cation has demonstration man not If that county
fortunate to get him the results of his
good work reflected in the pages of that particular paper
Where county doing things the papers just naturally
tells about it, for it means much to the paper and
much to its readers Right here say that
the people should appreciate county paper than
do do of
gress of the county If farmer in his paper where
Bill Jones' who lives miles up the creek has raised
extraordinary crop of a certain kind he unthOughedy
stores away desire to beat that JOnesfeow next year
Rivalry among farmers results bigger and better crops
The paper plants the seed weTe and the farmer reapS
the benefit That why this paper wants the farmers
tell of their big yields of certain crops that may
print them thereby letting the other know what he is
doing This paper goes into many homes outside of Chick
asaw and we wish it could be filled with BIG D0INGS of
the farmers
The demonstration man also helps in another way
Outsiders will hear of his work read his reports and write
him concerning home in the county. His recommends
ton worth much he gets cooperation among the peO
pie home We need more capital coming into the
ty-we need more farmers who know how to raise
things than cotton and two nubbins We need
progressive who will cooperate with their neighbOs
This pulling against each other pure cussedness-why
can't Chickasaw get out Of the RUT? COOPERATION is
the remedy-please take dose NOW
So these bankers who are interested in farming
decided help pay part of the expenes the Board would
do their part Instead of the county paying ST 200 make
up the $780, the bankers will pay $500 leaving county
to pay $500 You just how interested they in
it. Right now the bankers and stock holders of Chickasaw
pays wo-thirds of the and they willing pay
this $500 more just get good man to 60 about the
county DOING GOOD Any farmer call him at any
time is that farmers receive government itera
farming farm papers sample copies and other
good literature benefit the reader if he will only read
and practice its teachings Literature Of tins kind in
tensely PRACTICAL and it will teach any man how to
