FARMING EXPERTS

This Week, and Urges
Careful Study of Market
Supply and Demand For
Produce strawberry Crop
Recommended as the Most
Profitable.

About the most important farmers
meeting held in Hancock county was
conducted Monday at the courthouse by
County Agent o. W. Caswell, under
the auspices of the Extension Depart
ment of the Mississippi A. 6 M. College.
The morning session was opened by
talk by Prof Mckay. He discussed the
Importance of studying the market
supply and demand for farm produce
and pointed out the folly of growing
large supply of certain perishahle crops
than the market could dispose of. He
said that strawberries were a certain
staple truck for this section. He told
the farmers that berries grown here are
unequaled in quality. They follow
closely behind the Florida season and
several days earlier than the Louisiana
crop. He said ten thousand acres Of
strawberries here would not supply the
demand: Successful marketing OF the
crop would depend upon the organiza-
tion of strong cooperative associa-
ton. Messrs. George G. Firsching,
L. NJ. Gex, r, r. Perkins, George r.
Rea, Chas. ]. Pettibone and Joseph
Beneditto were appointed committee
of preliminary organization.
Prof. Mckay was followed by Mr..
McElroy of the L. C N. r. r. Co., who
discussed satsuma oranges and their
culture. He said satsuma was also a
safe money crop and in addition was
q great inducement to attend Northern
immigration. At the afternoon ses-
sion Prof. Harmed discussed some of
the common insect pests of garden
crops, and Miss Connie J.. Bonslagel
talked to the ladies on home economies.
The session Monday night consisted Of a
talk at the A. & G. motion picture
theatre building, where some of the
common incects pests were illustrated
on the screen by means of the electric
projecting lantern. The three sessions
Monday were well attended and have
awakened new interest in the work of
more and better agriculture, and Resi-
dent Agent O. w. Caswell expressed
himself as feeling more than gratificd
at the impetus given the work and at
outlook for results, Other meetings
were held Tuesday at Kiln and We'd
nesday at Leet6Wn.

W|THPE[R[ESSSTARS
Game of Eleven Innings
Defeats the A. & G.. Team
by Score 4 to 5---The Two
Crack Teams Will Meet
Again Sunday Week.

I The A. & G. baseball team played an
eleven inning game with the Peerless
Stars of Bay ST. Louis Sunday after
noon on the college campus and was
defeated by a score of to 5.
The game was exciting and full OF
good playing by both sides. Owing to
the A. & G. team having spen. good
time the Saturday Eefore at the picnic
at Napoleon they did not play up to
their usual form, and to this largely is
attributed the cause of their defeat.
Both sides made some awful errors,
and the A. &c G. team die some punk
base running, as on several occasions
had the opportunity to score runs but
failed to do so at the opportune time
and this and the other cause mentioned
brought about their defeat.
The A. & G. team will play the Peer
less Stars Sunday week and good
game is expected, with large attend
ance on hand.

Ansley played half the game in Aus
tins place.
The Peerless Stars OF Bay st. Louis
defeated the Everhards of New Or
leans by a score of 3 to /, Wednesday
afternoon. The hitting of Blaize and
the fielding of Egloff were features of
the game, also the .pit - of F. Luc.
The local hu.ier was slc down fdii OF
the visiting team as he had them at his
mercy. Too much cannot be said of Luc
as a first-clas pitcher, and the biggest
asset on the Peerless team. One bad
feature of the game was Blaize who
tried to do the Hans Wagner stunt, and
wanted to play the whole infield which
caused an error for the third Lbaseman.
ThePeerless stars will play team from
New Orleans tomorrow and good
game is expected. And it is the hope
of the manager that the crowd will
donate literally towards defraying the
expense to get the team over here.

A RIGHTEOUS VETO.

President Wilson vetoed the immi.

clause, under which all immigrants un.

led. The Chief agrees with the Presi.
dent that illiteracy is not of itself a
sufficient objection to warrant the clos.
ling of the doors of this great nation OF
equal rights and equal opportunities
against otherwise worthy applicants
for admission.
Congress is likely to pass the bill
lover the Presidents veto, but this will
not alter our conviction that the Presi
dent is right on the issue and Congress
lis wrong.
1t is a good thing to know how to
read and write, but there may be many
honest and desirable foreigners who
have not had fair chance to acquire
the accomplishment. Undeniably there
are hosts of slick rascals who can read
divinely and forge checks in beautiful

ALL CAN HELP.

When one realizes the enormous
waste going on in the war-zone, not
only in actual, but in potential values,
the non-planting of crops alone involv'
ing tremendous loss and causing future
distress, it becomes a duty in this land
of peace and plenty for every one to
raise more than was ever attempted
before in order to counterbalance the
disasters of that waste. He, who raises
so much as an extra peck Of potatoes,
bushel of corn, or one hog or calf, helps
along in off-setting the worlds waste
1t is an inspiring thought that any one,
anywhere, may help in this way to re.
pair the ravages Of war. No one Is SC
humble that he cannot do his share.

BOOST YOUR NEIGHRoRs.
lThe Progressive Farmer.l

(The Progressive Farmer.)
Here's little rule for the New Year
which will help you and help your
Ineighbors: In speaking about anybody
put the good word last. Don't say
"Neighbor Jones is public-spirited, I'll
admit, but he is mighty high-tempered."
Say "Neighbor Jones is rather high
tempered, Of course, but he is man
who is helping the neighborhood for
ward" Don't say, 'Tom Brown is a
Woodworking fellow and good-hearted,
| reckon, but he has been mighty low
down, wild and drinking" Instead say,
"Tom Brown got pretty low once, wild
and drinking, but now he's hard
working, good-hearted citizen" In
other words, wind up with the en-
phasis on the good trait rather than
the bad one.
Or better still, when you hear some
body's name mentioned and it's on the
tip Of your tongue to refer to some
blunder or failing you know about, just
| try choking it down few times, leav-
ing it unsaid, and see If you don't feel
better inside Then next time go a
little further and try speaking of some
good deed he has done instead Of men.
tioning the time he made mistake
(even though you yourself have never
made any mistake), and see If you
don't feel happier still.
If the farmers in any neighborhood
will begin to boost one another's
worthy deeds, they will soon find them
selves living in better neighborhood
than ever Beforehand the fine part
about it is that by adopting this method
they will find themselves living in a
better neighborhood without having to
move from where they are!

PROTECTING CORN FROM INSECTS

Professor w. R. Dodson makes the
following reply to an inquiry as to
what to- do to prevent damage to corn
from insects:
Regarding the preservation Of corn
in the crib, would say that If you will
paste paper on all of the cracks on the
side of your crib so as to make the
walls gas tight, you can kill out all of
the corn weevils by using carbon bisul-
phide. The weevils are the only in
sects that will seriously damage corn.
If the crib is not sealed, you can
cover the corn with tarpaulin, or heavy
cloth of any kind and put the carbon
bisulphide in an open vessel on top
of the pile Of corn and allow 1t to
evaporate, keeping in mind, Of course,
the fact that the carbon bisulphide is
very explosive. The gas is heavier
than air and will go down through the
corn and kill the weevils.

eyes cast more intently upon the al

reveals the unhappy predicament that
the Governor is thus thrown into by
the detection of the men who should
be his coadjutors All that goes wrong
during his administration will be
charged to him by public opinion,
which is usually careless in tracing
events to their true cause, while they
are in many instances really due to in

COLONIAL WOMEN'S TEA
BOYCOTT.
(Woman's Journal)

1t is interesting that when the old
colonies protested against the unjust
tea tax, women took stand as well as
men did. Even before the men of
Boston dumped the tea into the harbor,
800 women, according to Mary Caroline
Crawford in Social Life in Old New
England" did what was in those days
an unprecedented thing They prepared
an agreement" regarding tea, in which
they said:
1--WE, the subscribers, do strictly en-
gage, that we will totally abstain from
the use of that article sickness ex-
cepted) not only in our respective
families, but that we will absolutely
refuse it, if it should be offered to us
upon any occasion whatsoever. This
agreement we cheerfully come into, as
we believe the very distressed situa-
ton of our country requires it, and we
do hereby oblige ourselves religiously
to observe it, till the late revenue acts
are repealed"
In this spirit women helped at the
birth of a government in which women
to-day have no voice.
