SCARCITY Of COTTON
SEED FOR PLANTING
PROMISED.

Good, early, planting cotton
seed promises to be scarce next
spr,ng, especially in the large
territory where the weevils got
in their worst work this season.
The NH price being high, and
cotton scarce, not enough seed is
being held in many localities to
plant The next crop. The Oleve-
land Big Boil seed is especially
going to be in demand This va
rlety has shown up well for sev
eral years and this year has given
especially good results as a cot
ton to plant under boil weevil
conditions. The State Expert
ment Station places 1T in the
first rank as ah early variety.
On Mississippi prison farms 1T
made larger yields han any 9th
er variety this season. 1T has
shown up well among gl6wers IN
nearly every part OF he state.
We would suggest that all people
having this variety where il has
produced well, save it carefully
and il they will report to us the
quantity they have we will be
able to put them in connection
with those who wish to buy
There are some inquiries now,
but there will be little trade be
fore the beginning of the year.
Some other varieties, as Triumph
Miller Big Boil, and Cooks I'm
proved class up very well, and In
view of the promised scarcity we
would suggest saving some plan,

gardless of name, as they may
be needed,

DOES THE RURAL CRED.
ITS LAW REACH THE TEN.
ANT.

Many are asking if it is pos si-
BILE for tenants to use the new
rural credits laws 'does it reach
the man without land or money
To this question, Professor
T. j. Brooks, Rural Eco nomist
of the Mississippi A. and M.
College, is sending out the follow
ing reply The law reaches the
man without money or land on
condition that this man can get
the seller of the land to accept a
half payment of cash and sec
ond mortgage for the remainder
II is not necessary to own land
before making application for a
loan. The only requirement is
an affidavit concerning the land
which is to be purchased. Ii
this is satisfactory first mort
gage on the land is given to the
loan association. half the val
ue of the land may then be bor-
rowed, and paid 10 the man
from whom the land was pur-
chased. This covers half the
purchase price and second NOR
tgage for the remaining 81 per-
cent OF the purchase price may
be given ON such terms as me be
agreed on by the seller and buy
er.
The only cash that the bor-
rover must have is 5 percent OF
the loan which must be invested
in the stock of the loan assoola-
alton. This stock will pay q
rate of interest equal at least to
that paid on the expense OF clear
ing the title of land. In the case
OF second mortgages being given
however, the law requires that
the purchase price OF the land
be the same as the appraised val
ue set by the associations loan
committee, and approved by the
inspector OF the federal farm

SOMETHING ABOUT MAY
By Observer

Just where or how the month of May
derived its name is not easily deter
mined. What is regarded as authority,
however, says the name originated
from the word Mairoes, the senate in
the original constitution of Rome. The
old version that May was named in
honor of Mair, mother of Hermes, is
now said to be erroneous and was
merely surmised because of the SINH
larity of the two names.
With the exception of Decoration
Day, on the 30th, the month is without
holiday or day given special inn
portance either by tradition or history.
Up until half a. century ago, the open
ing day OF the month was almost uni
versally observed as MAY Day." when
outdoor festivals were held, and when
May pole was the central attraction
On the evening before May 1st, baskets
OF flowers were distributed from friend
to friend, the distribution generally be-
ing in secret. The baskets were left
OH the door steps after night had fallen
There are different versions of the
origin OF Decoration Day. Tradition
has it that German soldier who, COM
ing to this country at the time the Civil
War broke out, enlisted. After the
war was over he remarked that in Ger
many it was customary to scatter the
flowers on the graves of soldiers once
year. This is supposed to be the
the origin of Decoration Day. In May,
1868, Adj. Gen. NJ. p. Shipman suggest
ed this custom to Gen. Logan of the
q. A. h. who Immediately issued an
order in which he named the 30th day
of May 1S6S-"For the purpose of
strewing with flowers or otherwise
decorating the graves of.comrades who
died in defense of their country and
whose bodies lie in almost every city,
village, or hamlet churchyard in the
land.
