communities have adopted the practice
of distributing flower seeds to chill

and paintup propaganda.
The children are instructed in the
planting and care of flowers and also
in the simple methods of digging gar
dens.
The practice is known as 'the town

after being cleaned up becomes a spot
of real beauty when a flower garden
d~ecorates it. Even a back yard can
be made a pleasure to the eye in this
way.

The average cost of growing and
feeding succulent green food by the
above system at the New Jersey Sta
ton was only 5 cents per 0 e-pounds;
whereas during the same period soil
crops grown on outside land and car
ried to the birds cost II cents per 100
pounds. In addition to providing
green food it kept the soil purified
and in a sanitary condition.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-04-24

In following the above system the
rye and vetch seeded in yard B after
September 20 should be allowed to
grow until planting time in the spring
when it will furnish green food for the
birds until spring planting crops are
ready for forage. Two p~lowings,
spring and fall, are sufficient for
most soils. A c%ultivator will serve
for covering the seeds when they are
sown broadcast. Birds should not be
allowed to feed on these crops until
the crops are from a to 6 inches tall;
otherwise it will last but a day or two.
For North Jersey conditions where
the seasons are shorter and the soils
are heavier, the following rotation is

A CROP ROTATION FOR THE
POULTRY YARD.

Experiments at the poultry plant
of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station have shown that if
the poultry flock is to be ket in a
healthy and producing condition in the
summer, the run must be kept cover
ed with a green growing crop. Where
only a limited area is available for
the birds, the Experiment Station au-
thorities suggest that this be divided
into two yards, A and B. Quick
growing crops should be rotated in
these yards, the birds feeding first on
one and then on the other. The fol-
lowing system, worked out after
much experimental effort, applies par
ticularly to South Jersey conditions
where the seasons are fairly long.

The export Of American crude oil prod

into analyne colorings Is the crux Of a
plan to relieve the dyestun shortage in
this country now being advanced by the
Department Of Commerce. Arrange
ments for this reciprocal system are
now being perfected through American
commercial and diplomatic officials in
France.
Ambassador Sharp at Paris has noti-
fed the State Department that Ameri-
can shipments for Switzerland via
France will be passed bv the French
authorities upon a satisfac ctory guar
sntee that they would not find their
way into Germany or Austria. This
guarantee, according to Ambassa dor
Sharp, must come from the government
of Switzerland. and he has accordingly
recommended that further negotiations
be conducted through the Swiss legation
in Paris.

ton to the dyestuf shortage problem

SPE|SfR'S SCALP TONIC

A noted scalp specialist
speaking of the prevalence of
dandruf and similar mani
festations of an unhealthy
scalp, recommends first of all
that hair brushes, combs,
etc., be kept perfectly clean.
The daily use of Speiser's
Scalp Tonic is strongly urged
as it prevents the drying of
the scalp, the primary cause
of dandruff, itching, etc.
The use of soaps or any
other preparation which con-
tains alkalis, must be strictly
avoided. Alkalis have a ten
denCy 10 ury tne scalp, which
only makes matters worse.
Cocoanut oil and all foaming
solutions should not be used.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic cor
rects abnormal conditions,
kills dandruff, and relieves
itchy, irritated skins. This
wonderful preparation sells
for Soc and is personally
guaranteed by the proprietor

0kOlona, as a candidate for the leg
islature, subject to the votes Of the
Democratic party next August.
Mr. Abemethy was born in the
county Of Pontotoc, but moved to
Chickasaw when a small boy. Liv-

Abernethy has made a wide repu-

ful farmers Of Chickasaw county
and with all good farming interests
he is prominently identified for its
upbuilding and general prosperity.
He is the successful farmer in the
true sense Of raising his food at
home with much to sell in the mar
kets Of the season. Not many men
have the facts behind them to say
they are successful farmers.
He is a genial good mana mix
era well Informed, neighborly,
kindly, christian working man. A
man whose frienos are glad to call
him FRIEND. He attends to his
business with a vim and vigor that
makes for success and in that ca
pacity mas le; med the ways
and needs Of men.
Mr.. Abernethy was a member of
the Board for four years and no
man was ever truer to his commits
siOh from the people than he and
in every act his first and foremost
thought was for the general good
and prosperous uplift of Chickasaw
county. While on the Board he
served as one of the Court House
Commissioners and the people still
remember his loyalty and duty well
done at that time.
He now desires to represent you
at Jackson and The Hummer be-
Ieves that he is eminently qualifi-
ed to fill the position with honor
and credit to lOU Consider his
claims at the polls when the big
