CAN "ANY FOOL FARM?
WELL, HARDLY, NOWADAYS

1t is an old saying that any fool
can farm and this was almost the
truth when farming consisted chiefly
in reducing the fertility of new, rich
land secured at practically no cost
from generous government. But to
restore depleted soils to high produc-
tive power in economic systems is no
fools job, for it requires mental as
we'll as muscular energy; and no apol.
ogies should be expected from those
who necessarily make use of technical
terms in the discussion of this teehni-
cal subject, notwithstanding the com
mon foolish advice that farmers
should be given a sort Of parrot in
struction in almost baby. language In
stead of established facts and prin-
ciples in definite and permanent
scientific terms.
The farmer should be as familiar
with the names Of the ten essential
elements of plant food as he is with
the names of his ten nearest neigh
:. ll-a .
pors. Safe and permanent systems of
soil Improvement and preservation
may! come with intelligence
with ignorance the part Of the
land owners.
When the knowledge becomes gen
erai that food for plants is just as
necessary as food for animals, then
American agriculture will mean more
than merely working the land for all
that's in it. This knowledge is as
well established as the fact that the
earth is round, although the people
are relatively few who understand or
make intelligent application Of the \
existing Information. Cyril G. Hop

slLAeE WINS FOR cows;
BEST, CHEAPEST succul EMF

The best and the cheapest all
around succulent food for cows in the
northwest is silage, asserts Prof. c.
Larsen, of the South Dakota State
College. He states that silage is the
one feed that every COW owner should
tie to.
i feed it to the college dairy herd
every day during the year. We have
four silos at the dairy barn that hold
about 459 tons. Thirty-three acres
produce enough corn to fill these silos
and furnish succulent feed for SO cows
and some young stock.
If the SO acres were used for pas.
ture they would not feed over 20
COWS for four months. The economy
of not pasturing, but feeding silage
instead is readily SEEN
Silage will keep. 1t can be fed
any time during the year. 1t can be
led any year. / have fed silage sew
eral years old and it was just as pal
atable as that only one-half year old.
On account Of this keeping quality OF
silage the diary farmer never needs
to be in need of feed.
There never has been a time In
the northwest when feeds tf some
Kind could not be grown for the silo
while there have been seasons when
grain crops have been failures.
The initial cost Of the sflc and
necessary harvesting and cutting ma
chilnery have delayed some in SIMPLY
ing their cows with this almost ideal
succulent feed. The expense should
be regarded as profitable invest
nent. In some sections, such as the
ssmi-arid localities, the pit siio IS
success. The cost OF such e silo Is
a'gely represented in the form Ok

Business Mems Club Organized

Thursday night of last week
quite a number of business men
met at the court house and or
ganized "The Okolona Business
Mems Club" with a membership
of about half a hundred, which
was more than doubled by the
committee on membership by
the second meeting Tuesday
night. This was decidedly the
best public meeting we have
ever attended in this city. The
spirit of get-together pervaded
throughout with every man, ap-
parently, willing to work for all
and all willing to work for every
man. The officers elected were
as follows: R. J. West, Presi-
ident; B. F. Ellis, President;
w. E. Savage, Treasurer; w. E.
Roberts, Jr., Secretary; and w.
E. Savage, A. L. Jagoe, R. w.

The question of securing a
farm demonstrator for this Sec
ton was brought up and the
unanimous opinion was in favor
of such a demonstrator. In
about 20 minutes the money
guarantees were made and the
authorization for employment
given.
The organization of this body
means a great deal to the city as
whole. Most of the business
men have enlisted in the move
ment. We should be glad to see
all do so, but if you will not and

No law has ever been passed in
our statutes that has done so much
to suppress the unlawful sale Of
liquors as the law known as "the
Quart t-at-a-Time Law" The i'm
portation of liquors by express
has been reduced over so per cent
in my district, to be accurate, 50
per cent. In one town the number
of packages has been reduced 78
per cent. The number of cases
against blind tigers now on file as
compared with same period last
year under gallon law has been
reduced rs per cent. Nearly all
the liquor brought in under the
quart-at-a-time law is for private
consumption, and not for sale.
This law is a clean knockout for
blind tigers. 1t is true automobile
lists are bringing liquor through
the country at night from the ISL
and at Vicksburg, but this can be
stopped. The quart at time law
does prohibit, ard this is the rea-
SON why the liquor men in New
Orleans and Memphis are making
the fight for its repeal.

Fall Gardeners Wage
War on Turnip Louise


Owners of fall gardens in
many parts of Mississippi are
finding that to secure the great
est benefit from their vegetables
it is necessary to make war on
the Turnip Louise, or False Cab
bage Aphis. Thousands of these
tiny, greenish, soft-bodied in
sects are attacking crusiferous
plants such as turnips, radishes,
cabbage, mustard, kale, cauli-
flower, collards, wild mustard,
wild radish, and shepherds
purse, sucking the juice from
the leaves. They are found in
all parts Of the country and are
dependent for food on plants of
the cruciferous group, and are
now especially damaging tur-
nips.
These insects can be controll-
ed by thorough spraying with
contact sprays at intervals of
about a week, beginning before
the plants become badly infect
ed, :" says r. W. Harmed, State
Entomologist and Professor of
Entomology at the Mississippi
A. and M. College. "As most
of the lice are on the under side
of the leaves" he continues,
they are best reached with a
lead of hose from ten to fifteen
feet long fitted with an exten-
sion rod of four feet and an an
gle type nozzle attached by
means of an elbow. Prof. Pad
dock, of Texas, says: The Sc
cret of success in spraying
against the turnip louise is the
use Of the angle nozzle and the
elbow For satisfactory re-
suits a first class spray pump is
essential.
Soap solutions and tobacco
extracts are recommended for
use against the pest. The for
mer may be made of ordinary
laundry soap, l pounds to Z gal
Ions of water. The soap is shay
ed and boiled is two gallons of
water until it is dissolved. E.
nough water is then added to
to make Z gallons.
Tobacco extract is most COM
monty used in the form of
'Blackleaf 49, which contains
40 per cent nicotine. One part
of this is used in 1900 parts of
water, with the addition of one
pound of soap to ten gallons of
the solution.
"Other measures that will
help in reducing these insects
are, ID rotation of crops; (2)
keeping down by clean cultiva-
ton such wild cruciferous plants
black mustard, pepper grass,
and shepherds purse; (3) de-
stroying all of the first insects
that appear; (4) early plowing
of fields where crops affected
have been grown. L."
