was the little tube of radium!

French Proposes That Brave Deeds of
Steeds in Battle Should Be
Properly Rewarded.

While the doors of deeds of lofty
daring and high courage in the great
war in Europe are rewarded with
decorations of various kinds, worthy

injustice of making human beings the
sole beneflciaries in this recognition
of valor, has addressed to the grand

for this hippic order scarcely seems
fitting. The Order of Bucephalus, aft

All members and officials of
the Paris. Business Mems Club
are urged to be present Tuesday
night, April 20 at general
meeting of the association, in
the association rooms at 7:30
promptly. In addition to a vol
ume of business, there will be a
smoker and refreshments. Let
every member be present on
time.
The men and boys of Henry
county desiring to join the Hen
ry County Corn Clubs are urged
to be present Saturday at the
courthouse in Paris, promptly at
1o'clock. This is important, and
will mean something to those in
terested. Come and lets get
started right and see abuot our
seed corn. Now is the time to
make all arrangements. We
want to know just what boys
and what men are going into the
contest so that we can start ear
ly to get up the prizes for the
two clubs.
Members of the Henry County
Truck Growers Association will
please report by post card or in
person, not later than Saturday,
April II, just what acreage they
have actually planted in tomatoes
These reports must be correct
and prompt in order to stay
close to our prospect markets.
Mr.. DeBerry will be in Paris
Saturday and will give any addi-
tional information necessary to
members of the Henry County
Truck Growers Association.
Secretary Daniel is a believer
in boys and pigs. He is willing
to furnish a certain number of
fine Henry county boys with
three fine pigs each, fine blooded
stock, to raise on shares. He
believes that pigs and boys are
the finest investment in the
world. He is a firm believer in
American boys and Berkshire
pigs.

Give at Home and Board at the
Same Place"

Make your farm feed itself
this year, Mr.. Farmer. Every
passing week only adds new evil
dence that there is safety in no
other plan.
There is every prospect that
on account of the advance in
cotton prices as compared with
last falls low levels, farmers by
the tens of thousands will plant
as big an acreage of cotton as
ever. The negro tenants know
no other crop, and the line of
least resistance is to continue cot
ton. Moreover, thousands of
supply merchants will insist that
their men raise cotton and buy
supplies from the store
There is also grave danger that
the acreage in tobacco and pea
nuts will be excessive. Farmers
who raise peanuts for their hogs
and market their crops on the
hoof" will get their profits all
right, but we hear from many
sections the fear of an overpro-
duction of market peanuts this
year.
And as for tobacco, we fear
that overproduction there is al
ready assured. The old tobacco
sections realize that prices are al
ready low, and are not likely to
increase acreage, but many new
sections are going to risk planting
tobacco instead of cotton. The
new sections sold tobacco early
last year before prices slumped
and do not realize how badly
prices did drop.
In view of all these things we
repeat that the only safety this
year and next lies in living at
home and boarding at the same
place. The Progressive Far

and the cast of production by
keeping only the best stock to be
had.
Pedigree does not add a cent to
the value of the hog for pork,
producing not a pound of meat
and lard to the weight of the car
cass. The farmer, there, is in
| clined to pay no attention to such
details and often thinks that they
are of no value to him, yet he
will make money by watching
carefully for the pedigrees of the
ones he breeds. The Individual
ty of the boar or sow is of great
importance, but even that is of
little value unless the good points
! of the individual can be trans
mitted to its offspring.
Right here is where the value
Iof the paper comes in. They
guarantee that the animal is from
a long line of ancestors bred to a
lype and for certain definite OBJ
jects. If kept pure and the best
animal selecteds for breeding,
there is practical certainty of
attaining the objects sought.
| Chesters and Durocs have been
bred for size and quality while
Berkshires have been bred with
the idea of a streak of fat and
a streak of lean." Crossing these
breeds has been attempted to get
the best points of each breed
combined in the individual but
while the first cross has given
some satisfaction, it has failed to
give uniform results. Some of
the animals are as good as either
parent, but others fail to give
the best Of either breed and pro-
duce the least desirable traits of
both, and that in an exaggerated
degree.
Breeding crossbreds is seldom
satisfactory. The nearest to a
success has come from using pure
stock on one side, thus grading
up again, and even that has sell
dom if ever brought as satisfac-
tory results as pure blooded ami
mails.
Just as soon as a cross is made,
not only is the blood mixed but
the result of generations of breed
ing, feeding and selection are
mixed and the definiteness of in
heritance is sacrificed for a game
of chance.
Even in the best strains of
blooded animals, there is a tend
ency to bark back to remote an
cestors. The Duroc will produce
a black spot on an occasional pig
and the Poland China is not yet
free from a tendency to show red
in places. The old blood will
come out at times, even after
culling and sitting for forty gen.
erations.
Form, like color, will frequent
ly tell on the progeny of pre-
potent animal, many generations
after he has found rest in the
pork Darrell. 1t is important,
then that the desirable form,
habits and tendencies of growth
should be inherited from the en-
tire line of ancestry.
Blooded animals feed out to a
more economic advantage, giving
a larger net profit per pound and
they feed out with more uni
formity, and with fewer runts.
The feeding question is less of a
problem, and there is not so
great variety for the feeder to
plan for, in order that the less
thrifty may have a chance to
make the needed gains. There
is less waste in feeding.
The full blood has the advan-
