Better Fire Protection

Fire protection is difficult PROPOSE
tion in town of Macon's size. moi
large enough to haye paid fire de-
partment and too large to deperd en-
tirely on the assistance of neighbors
with buckets.
The volunteer firemen do as well as
they can do, and render valuable SER
vice. The greatest difficulty they en-
counter is in getting to fires. If they
could get on the ground in time, theil
efforts would accomplish twice as much.
Once at the ilre, the water pressure anc
the fire apparatus are such that any
fire cfn be readily put out and the
building saved, unless it has reached
an advanced stage. Then the only
thing that can be done is to keep the
fire from spreading.
A small automobile truck, it is
thought, would do away with this
trouble and would save to the citizens
of the town its value many times 8
wear.

Unusual Law Suit,

A rather interesting and unique suit
against the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company was recently in
stituted in the circuit court hee. Mr..
J. O. Faser sues the company for six
thousand dollars damages for its faNure
to give phone connection with the city
water works plant when his house
caught fire recently. The declaration
alleges that it was fifteen minutes be-
fore he or his neighbors could get CEN
trail to answer at the time of the fire
and consequently the fire department
was not informed where the fire was
and water pressure was not put on by
the water works, whereby the fire de-
partment was delayed and could not
work properly when it reached the fire
with the result that his house and furn-
ishings were totally destroyed when
they might have been saved.

Let the Fake Boil WeeviI
~ 4, Remedies Alone

Coincident with the yearly
spring appearance of the boil wee
vii there comes a flock of boil wee.
vii remedies and exterminators,
"Warranted to put the weevil out
of business" )" We wouldn't go so
far as to affirm that these prepara-
tions won't kill the weevil, pro-
vided the weevil will eat them.
The trouble is, once cotton begins
to put on squares, that getting
weevils to eat such preparations
and then obediently die is too
much like sprinkling salt on birds
tails in order to catch them.
The best we can say of any OF
these preparations is, let them
alone. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, with a bet
ter equipped and better tained
force than any private organiza-
tion possesses, has worked in this
field for twenty years, with the re-
suit that no sort of really effective
boil weevil poison or repellant has
been found. If the government
has failed, and every preparation
so far examined by the depart
ment has been found of no prac-
tical value in weevil control, isn't
it safest to investigate very care.
fully before spending money for
such so. called ''remediese'
The real and only safe remedy
for the ills that accompany the
boil weevil consists in practicing
good farming, in the fullest sense
of the term. This means % liv-
ing at home, and not depending
on a boil weevil cotton crop to buy
food and feedstuff; (2) rich land,
from the use of clovers, peas and
manures; (3) early planting of an
early maturing variety Of cotton;
(4) rapid, shallow cultivation;
and (5) hand picking weevils and
punctured squares when the pest
is dangerously numerous.
In reality most of these "tried
and true" suggestions are merely!
what should be done everywhere
weevil or no weevil, and we pass
them on to our readers with tie
assurance that they will beat any
paVent preparation in existence. :

Mexican June Corn May
Proftably Follow Oats

With a larger acrea planted to
oats there will probably be more
June corn planted in the south
this yaar. 1t is especially adapt
ed to late planting and dry wealth
er. In fact, it does not do well
when planted early, but will make
a crop when planted so late that
the common varieties you'd not
make corn, especially during a dry
season.
There are two varieties or types
in use. The Laguna or most com
mon type makes soft grain and
a large but short ear. The grain
is white, with red or cream color
ed cobs. The chief value of this
variety is that it Will make a crop
when planted quite late, July 1 to
Is; but being soft and the cobs
containing much moisture, it is
more apt to mold and be unfit for
horse feeding unless carefully har.
vested. The dwarf type has hard
er, dent grains, which are tight on
the cob.
When the land can be quickly
prepared after harvesting the oats,
more feed may probably be made
with soy beans, but for late plant
ing, June Is to July 10, and when
corn is desired, Mexican June corn
is a good crop. Even if large
yields of corn are not made we
cannot afford to allow the lands
to lie idle during the hot weather,
and with June corn a considera-
BILE amount of forage can be made.
For real late planting the June
corns are also serviceable for sill
age. The yield is not so large as
with early planted corn or as from
sorghum, but for extreme late
planting it serves a useful pur-
pose. Progressive Farmer.

Good Fishing.

1t used to be thought, several years
ago, before the lakes and ponds about
Macon were properly protected and
stocked, that to enjoy some real pisca-
torial sport. one would have to 60 to
Burnside lake. in Neshoba county, near
ly fifty miles distant, where the water
is not limey, and every summer a large
party, with all the ingredients for a
good time would 60 there and camp out
for week or two. But nowadays the
disciples of Isaac Newton can spend an
hour or two at Howards' lake or Eiland' s
pond and nearly always bring home a
good mess of as fine Dream or trout as
ever came out of Burnside or any other
lake. The Dream fishing this season
has been especially gooo. and IL is {
damp, bad day when either Tom White
Crigler, Val Yates, DR.. Lowrey Glenn
ent, Jim Swami and several other
minor lights don't have fish for supper.
The latest enterprise in this line is
the Macon Consolidated Fishing club,
that has put trap in the river behind
the light and water plant. They ex-
pect to make a big catch later in the
spring when the ellis return to the gulf,
as they do every four years, to spawn
in the deepest part of the ocean, the
young returning to the rivers, where
they remain until grown. Mr.. Card,
who has trap near the Chandler bluff,
caught over 1900 ellis in a couple of
weeks about four years ago.
The officers of the above club are D.
Patty, president; Jos. Scott, secretary
and treasurer, VIM. Bush, manager;
Thos. Bush, attorney.

Hull Crop Of Boil Weevl

The cotton crop in Noxubee county
fully three weeks late, and this fact is
responsible for the late appearance Of
the boil weevil, but they are here in
full force in every section Of the coun-
ty. feel that we are going over the
old ground in making an appeal to the
farmers and pointing out the necessity
Of fighting the weevil right now. This
county made splendid fight last year,
and it was we'll worth while, as a bet
ter crop was made than in any county
adjoining this. and many of the best
farmers in the county will testify to
the fact that the methods used in COM
batting the weevil were found profta-
bic.
It was thought by many that the
low temperature on several occasions
during the past winter had reduced the
number of weevils so low that the
crop this year could be made without
a persistent fight against them, but
there seems to be heavy infestation
over the entire county, and | want to
emphasize the value of fight against
them NOW. If every row of cotton is
carefully gone over about twice before
the squares form. the weevil will be
reduced so that we shall make some
profit from cotton. There is but one
way to get the weevils, and that is to
pick them off the young cotton. You
maJ not do this, but if you expect to
get even part of cotton crop this
yea: it is absolutely necessary to do
this work right now. / hope every
tenant in the county will be advised of
the necessity of the Importance Of
this work being done Immediately.

\ Cop Conditions In NOxubes

1h'' aty planted tremendous
winter and this spring.
- Gather of last month hurt
- vest good deal, coming just
as the plants needed the moisture to
head up well. However, the rain came
in time to help, and fairly good yield
is being gathered. The wheat crop,
several hundred farmers having plant
ed few acres each, is in fine condi-
tion. The corn crop, which is unusu-
ally large. is in the best of shape, the
weather lately having been exactly
suited to it. The cotton in the county
is in good condition, though the pres
ence Of the boil weevil in numbers in
every part of the county is reported,
and much uneasiness is felt by the
cotton planters. Last years acreage
in cotton was cut fifteen per cent.
A careful estimate shows that Noxubee
is now planting only sixty per cent. of
the cotton 1t did five years ago. The
alfalfa and other hay crops are show
ing up splendidly. one cutting of alfalfa
having been alreadv gathered and an
other almost ready for the mower.
Cattle raising is still forging ahead and
will soon he our most important indus
try. In the last two years $40, 900 has
been spent in the purchrse of blooded
cattle from other points and much more
than that sum in silos and additional
fencing for pastures. The Macon
creamery pays monthly $1,000 to the
farmers of the vicinity for cream.
