Decoration Day at Soule Chapel.

Decoration Day at Soule Chapel
church and cemetery has long been
made notable day of the calendar in
Noxubee county. by the annual custom
of the people of that neighborhood in
clearing off their beautiful cemetery
grounds, decorating the graves of their
departed ancestors, loved ones and
friends, holding appropriate religious
ceremonies and inviting their friends
from all over the county to come, and
when they come, giving them dinner
second only to the welcome and good
heartedness that characterize the occa-
sion. It's an honorable and graceful
custom these people have established.
and gracefully and honorably do they
carry it out. The fresh and living
flowers spread upon the graves of men,
women and children long since dead,
only symbolic the fact that the old and
ancient virtues of former times still live
in the community. and love and rever-
ence for the loved ones that are gone
before still are fresh in the heart of
the present generation.
The Soule Chapel cemetery was es.
tablished nearly a hundred years ago
ard is one of the oldest, if not the old
est country churchyard in the county.
Many representatives of the Oldest and
most distinguished families of Noxu-
bee are buried there. 1t is beautiful
ly situated on a hill. and the church has
been newly covered and painted.
The committee on arrangements this
year were Messrs. E. F. Anderson, now
himself patriarch of the community,
W. j. Barnhill and Leland Hines.
Something like three hundred and
fifty people were present at the annual
celebration Thursday, the 9Th. The
day in everyway was the equal of form
er similar days, the dinner as good, the
hospitality as cordial and the spirit of
the occasion as inspiring.

Uncle Cornpatch
Presents a Problem

Uncle Cornpatch dropped in The Pro-
gressive Farmers Office the other day
and put this problem up to us: "In
travelin' around now, l see that whole
passel O. my neighbors who got natal
ly ct up by raisin' all cotton last year
and mighty nigh had to go to the pore
house, are plantin' all cotton agin; ain t
got no gardens, amt preparin to have
their own corn crib and smokehouse
and are gettin' ready to pay time prices
for everything same as usual. Now,
what bothers me is this: I'm a mem
ber in good standin' at Bethany Church
and have been for nigh on forty year,
and cussin amt in my line. But |
have always heard this, that sensible
folks learn from other folks mistakes,
but fool has to learn from his own.
So when / find folks that won't even
learn from their own mistakes, it stands
to reason that they amt just the plain
ordinary ev'rv day sort of fools, and
I'm wonderin' how man can rightly
place just sich an extraordinary brand
of fool without putin some kind O.
profane an ungodly handle on to the
name"
None of The Progressive Farmer
staff were able to help Uncle Corn
patch reconcile his religion and common
sense on this point, and we pass his
problem on to our readers. Progress

Gee! Amt it Hot?

Every once in while you will see
some chronic growler mop his brow and
exclaim, Gee! amt it hot?'
Yes, it's moderately warm, but just
supposed you lived in Washington, De-
troit, Cincinnati, Toledo, or some other
place where it gets sure enough hot,
then you might have some cause to
complain, but not here in mississippi,
where we have the finest weather in
the world.
While people are only beginning to
perspire here, they are frying in the
north, having jumped right out of the
ice box into the frying pan.
While we are having nice. temperate
days and cool, pleasant nights, the sum-
mer has set in early in the northern
section of the country, and the places
mentioned are already experiencing a
temperature we'll up in the nineties,
and mucn suffering has resulted, IN fact
in some of these cities. deaths have al
ready occurred from heat strokes
Instead of beginning this early in the
season complaining, why not rejoice
that you are not compelled to undergo
the hardships of those in less favored
sections. for while these northern cities
are sweltering under temperature all
the way from ninety to ninety-four,
jackson is comparatively comfortable

Corn will be scarce and high-priced
in the spring of 1916. as it is now.
Much of it will be fed to hogs this fall
at a loss, while the next spring the
work stock will have their allowance
cut or corn will have to be bought at a
high price. A bushel of corn saved is
one made, and the time to both make
and save it is now. Make the corn by
planting large area of the best land
and save it by planting soy beans, pea
nuts, and cowpeas and velvet beans in
the corn, to fatten the hogs this fall.
An acre of sweet potatoes or artichokes
to balance the soy beans and peanuts
will still further save the corn.
If corn is to be fed the hogs, why not
plant the corn and peanuts or the corn
and the soy beans together and allow
the hogs to gather both? 1t will be
cheaper than gathering the corn and
feeding it alone in dry lot.

There is nothing better than a good
liberal acreage of sorghum to help out
or supplement the dry, short pastures,
which are almost certain to come later
in the season. If it is not needed for
soiling-feeding when green-it makes
good silage or splendid dry roughage
for late fall or winter feeding. The
sweet sorghums are not appreciated or
used as largely as they should be in the
humid south. AS the non-saccharine
sorghums, milo, kaffir. feterita, etc.,
are more valuable, because more Ger
tain and productive than corn in the
