Gov. Brewer Makes Public Statement
BY John Armstrong Of Jackson.

The following extract from Gov.
Brewers sreech at Pontotoc, which is
reproduced from the Pontot0c Advance,
brings out a matter that has never
heretofore been made public and that
is the statement by John Armstrong of
Jackson that he gave Bilbo 500 out of
his own pocket during the session of
the secret caucue" legislature to keep
him ''hitched" to Vardamen. John
Armstrong was one of the most Jealous
and most enthusiastic men in the state
for Vardaman and was on duty all the
time while the ''secret caucus" was in
session. Mr.. Armstrong represents the
Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co. Of Memphis
and is one of the best known and most
popular travelling men in the state.
Gov. Brewer said:
"Bilbo was telling the people he was
Vardaman's friend and voted for him
IN the caucus, but he said, if Bilbo will
show where he supported Vardaman in
the caucus, | will quit this speaking
tour and resign the Governors Office
On the other hand the Governor said, |
am going to prove to you that Bilbo
was base traitor to Vardaman. He
said during the caucus Bilbo told Var
daman's campaign committee that Per-
cy's crowd would give him 500, free
room, bath, ETC., If he Bilbo, would &c
over to the Edwards House and yor
fellows must come across if you want
me to remain with you. John Arm
strong, who was member of Varda
mans campaign committee told Bilbt
that Vardaman was hard pressed an(
needed every vote he could get and he
John Armstrong. then puleld out $l0'
and gave it to Bilbo. If you do not be
lieve this he said, write John Arm
strong, at Jackson, Miss"

MONO.DIET Is EXPENSIVE

No animal will thrive on a single diet 1t has
generally been supposed that corn was Just a
perfect food for hogs but in experiments carried
on for three years at the Alabama station It was
found that hogs fed on corn alone made a gain
of 81 pounds a day. fed on corn and soy bean pas
ture. lilo lbs. The cost of producing pork was
$76l per 100 pounds on corn alone and s2.5s on
corn and bean pasture. Corn fed alone brought
"a cents for each bushel fed; when the animals
were fed corn and kept on good pasture the corn
fed brought s4.33 per bushel.
At the Kansas experiment station IA pigs fed
on corn and water for $50 days weighed an aver
age of rs pounds. The same number of pigs fed on
corn and alfalfa for $50 days weighed 1S5 pounds
each.
AT the Oklahoma station 10 pigs on alfalfa alone
made a gain OF 26 pounds In 100 days, the same
number fed on alfalfa and corn for the same period
made a gain of 12s pounds. Ten pigs Weighing
"a pounds each at start fed 100 days on alfalfa
weighed 100 pounds each; the same lumber, same
weight. fed 100 days on alfalfa and corn weighed
2os pounds.-Northwestern Stockman and Farmer.

POTATO VERSUS WHEAT FLOUR

Recent advances In the price Of wheat flour.
and subsequent attempts to reduce the use of flour
by combining 1t with potatoes for the purpose of
bread making. have led George A.. Olson, chemist
at the Washington Experiment Station, to under
take an investigation to determine if actual econo-
my is effected by such a plan.
Mr.. Olson figured potatoes at one dollar a hun
dred and flour at $S40 a barrel Of 1876 pounds. He
estimated that the average potato contains about
eighty per cent of water. and that average flour
contains ten per cent of water. 1t would require.
then, nearly SSG pounds of potatoes to yield the
amount of dry matter contained In a barrel Of
flour weighing 1876 pounds.
In other words twenty per cent of potatoes con-
sists OF dry matter. and twenty per cent of $50
pounds Of them equals 176 pounds of dry matter.
Ninety per cent Of flour s dry matter, and ninety
per cent OF a barrel OF flour. 1876 pounds, equals
approximately 176 pounds of dry matter. A bar
rel OF flour was considered as worth $40. Eight
hundred and eighty pounds of potatoes at a dollar
a hundred are worth $3.50. So a barrel of dry
matter of potatoes is worth. on the basis of these
figures forty cents more than the same quantity
OF dry matter in flour.
Hence, on the simple basis OF relative values, no
saving is effected by Incorporating potatoes with
cereal flour.

A IN EGGS

BY November /, 1915, Minnesota's 16O, 900 farms
VIII have IL, 200, 900 hens. Count 'em, 16, 900, 900.
N. ". Chapman of the agricultural extension d.
vision, University of Minnesota, is authority for
the statement. If these 16, O00,O 900 hens lay an
average of a dozen eggs each month, and the av-
erage market price for November Ia maintained,
the income of Minnesota's farmers from eggs alone
In November should be about SIS, 1000, 900.
II the farmer is going to get his share of this
tidy sum he must do certain things:
He must keep his hens In good health, providing
coops that are clean and well ventilated, and al
lowing the chickens the run of orchard or pasture
through the day.
He must feed his hens we'll for growth and de-
velopement. They should go to roost with crops
well filled with wholesome grains, after returning
from the range. and plenty of skim milk and water
should be available through the day.
He must see that his hens have shade in which
to rest II trees and shrubs are not plentiful,
burlap or gunny sack shades should be put up,
He must keep his broody hens in airy coops and
feed and water them we'll. They will recover
from their broodiness in five or ten days.
He must gather his eggs daily and market them
at least twice a week.

SCHOOL GARDENS

The National Bureau of Education has great
faith In the child's garden. Agents have been APP
pointed to promote garden work In city school
throughout the country. 1t is hoped in the course
Of a few years to include garden work among
the studies in all public schools.
Commissioner Claxton, head OF the Federal
Bureau Of Education, has visions of almost fabul-
GUS wealth springing from children's gardens in
the city schools alone. He reduces his optimism
to dollars:
Experiments already made by the Bureau Of
Education show that with proper direction an aver
age child between the ages of six and twenty can
produce from an eighth of ali acre from fifty to
one hundred dollars worth of vegetables. A third
OF the children I'm the city schools might easily
produce $500, 600, 900 worth a year." While this
estimate must be discounted fifty per cent be-
cause of practical reasons, 1t serves to bring at
tention to the value of the garden movement.
The child is likely to think only of the money
values of such production. though these are the
least worthy of consideration. Read the stories
of boy and girl achievement as we publish them
under the heading Farmers of Tomorrow; then
turn to The Child's Garden, and your inspiration
Will be complete. The great future benefits to be
reckoned In terms Of health, education and the
awakening of an intelligent interest In things
that grow are incalculable.-The Country Gentle

KENTUCKY FARMERS GO A-vIsITING

Early In June a party composed Of farmers and
farm demonstrators from Central and Eastern
Kentucky, state and Government officials and
newspaper men. about $50 In all. chartered a
special train and made a little journey to see how
farming was done In the western counties OF their
state. They learned n lot Of things and made a
lot of friends. and Bradford Knapp. who is the
head Of Uncle Sans farm-demonstration work In
the south. said before he returned to Washing
ton that he would that the farmers of
every state adopt the plan and annually so a
visiting and find out what other farmers are doing.
The Kentucky trip was directly due to the sug-
scstion OF Godfrey Morgan. state agent for farm
demonstration work, who was county agent In
Christian county until last fall. Mr.. Knapp said
OF him; II would rather do what Godfrey Nor
gan has done In Christian county than be governor
Of your state"
When Mr.. Morgan went to Richmond. Kentucky,
his headquarters. and began to tell OF the wonders
and possibilities of western Kentucky, the blue
grass farmers ridculed him. He let them talk for
a while and then suggested that they so to west
ern Kentucky and see for themselves. They
agreed. and Mr.. Morgan wrote a letter saying:
"The people OF central and eastern Kentucky think
Western Kentucky is only a land of night riders,
'possum hunters. sage grass and sassafras bushes.
l want to show them that It isn't" That was how
the trip came about.
Warren and Christian counties received the
visitors. The Government paid the expenses of
It's farm demonstrators. but each farmer paid his
own way. At the county seats the citizens en-
tertained the guests in royal style. In automo-
bles tho visitors were taken for tours of the farm
ing sections; there were dinners and a barbecue,
and speeches and public meetings.
The visitors were amazed at what they saw. In
wai.'n county they learned much about the profit
In strawberries. The growers have a coopcra-
tive association, and this year about 100 carloads
were shipped. Also the visitors saw many fine

cattle, and mules, and fields of alfalfa, and modern
barns, and silos, and SPLENDID roads.
On the second day of the trip, in Christian coun-
ty, ninety-nine machines started from the botel
at Hopkinsville. carrying at least 500 men. The
days trip covered about a hundred miles, all the
way through fields of wheat, corn, tobacco. barley,
alfalfa, clover, hay, and 80 on.
In both counties the visitors learned what real
cooperation between town and country means.
They saw the townspeople working as enthusiast
tically for the country as we're the farmers them
selves. and they found the country people proud
Of the towns and deeply interested In their well
fare and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. E.. Bacon, in

A factor that contributes to success I'm farming
10 that Of quality, and this is subdlvided for the
purpose Of comparison. Here the farmer COM
pares his yields with those of the average. the
best and the poorest farms. He can see the num-
ber Of acres necessary with his yields to produce
what the average did on 100 acres. The yields OF
his corn. wheat, rye. oats and hay are tabulatec for
comparison with the yields of other farms.
An item that has . distinct bearing upon the
labor income is livestock receipts for each 800
worth Of feed consumed. A farmer may have
good yields. and still. by poor feeding Of good
crops or by feeding good crops to poor livestock.

 That dance halls Bridgeport are ton made by MT. Potter in the fol- lowing: Dance halls supply g. popular form of amusement. There are seven in the city where public dances are held weekly or oftener. The owners are required to take out licenses, but beyond that there is no regulation. In three halls liquor is sold openly In six moonlight dances are frequent, and conduct is unsupervised.
