PROTECTING THE TREES

In attaching fence wires or woven
wire fencing to trees, nail n strip of
wood from one TO two inches thick to
the tree. Then fasten your wire with
staples to the strip Of wool and not TO
the bark of the tree itself. If the wires
are fastened directly to the bark OF
the tree the tree will grow over the
wires and over the wound and serious

Read What Mr.. Wilson
Says About the Food Supply

There is a shortage of food in
the world now. That shortage
will be more serious a few months
from now than it is now. 1t is
necessary that our land shoulC
yield more per acre than it does
now. 1t is necessary that not
plow or spade be idle in this coun'
try if the world is to be fed.
Woodrow Wilson, the President
of the United States, said these
words last night.
Every banker, merchant, farm
er, every workingman, every
! southerner, should Ionder over

The Ship Purchase Bill.

No one pretends to say that the
policy of government owned and
conducted freight carriers is a good
one under normal conditions, but
when public interests are suffering
for lack of commercial facilities
not provided by private or corpo-
rate enterprise, it is the duty of
the government to intervene with
it's enormous resources. The coun-
try must not be beggared or stran-
gled in order that administrative
ethics shall be maintained. The
movement is practically compul-
sorry, and finds it's defense and vim
dication iD the needs and distress
of the people. No other defense
than necessity and expediency is
urged.

Thoughts From the

Road MointGnence,

With our enormous Fourth dis
trict Investment in good roads the
cost of maintenance is hardly to be
considered. A single seasons neg.
lect may result in demand for re
construction and discourage exten-
sion. We do not want to be un-
derstood as intimating neglect or
carelessness in this behalf, but the
subject is one that cannot be too
often discussed and that engages
or should engage the thought and
attention of every resident of the
district. We do not believe our

perly maintained without the fire.
quent use of a steam roller, and
we know that steady service of an
engineer will be a cheap invest
ment for the protection of the
enormous outlay. Road construc,
tion is one thing, maintenance is
another-it takes both to spell
''good roads" and build up coun-
ty and city. No district in the
state has a better board of com
missioners and they are entitled
to assurance of Endorsement in
every effort and expenditure for
road maintenance and protection.

Next Cotton Crop.

Nothing can be more preposte,
rous and inconsistent than the
plea of Subsidy urged in oppos
ition to the ship purchase bill, by
men in Congress who favored that
widest schemes of subsidy "free
tolls" for American coasting ves-
sells through the Panama Canal.
The ship purchase bill is to meet
a terrible emergency: relieve
American products from the graft
of foreign sharks, and enable our
products to reach foreign markets
on equitable terms with their
wheat. cotton, corn, etc., while
the "free tolls billn demanded that
the canal built by taxation of all
the people, be thrown open free to
a handful of ship owners, while
the government paid OUT several
hundred dollars for the privilege
of pulling each "free ship"
through. OF course there are argu
ments to be made against this ship
purchase policy, but the plea of
Subsidy" comes with poor grace
from congressman who favored
"free tolls" for American coast
ing vessels.

If cotton was subject to the gen
eral estimate of changes, it could
be said that the forces of nature
had combined for reduction of
the crop in 1915. But little plow-
ing has been doue and the rain,
fall has been excessive. But cot
ton is a willful weed, always
freaky, and often giving the heav-
lest harvest under the most un-
propitious circumstances. 1t can
be plausibly argued that the heavy
rainfall on our lined soils has been
very destructive to alternating
insects, but no one can foretell the
future of a cotton crop or make a
reasonable guests until a "stand"
is in sight; yet cotton as lottery
offers as many chances as any 9th
er shaking of the dice of human
industry.
While we hear of a few unwise
lend owners in our section an.

Uniting their farms to 60 untenant.
