THE CORN BELT.

Like the young lady's waistline,At the corn belt
moves erraticaly from time to time and because
1t is located at place this year is no dependable
augury that it will be located in the same place
next year, Some years ago the corn belt ran
through Iowa, Illinois and Indiana and the three
Is were looked upon as the particular home of the
corn field, Later on the belt moved through Mis-
souri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, where
the corn crib YVES the pride of these states. Ow-
ing to the caprlciousness of the seasons or the
geographical changes in agriculture, the corn belt
moved from the Middle West to louisiana Ten
neSsee, Georgia, Alabama and Texas, and for some
time this great food staple found an abiding place
IN these states, says the Memphis News Scimitar.
AT the present time the Northwest claims the
honor, and Oregon and Montana are the corn-pro-
ducng states. The corn belt in this respect does
not mean where the greatest acreage is planted
but where the returns per acre are greatest If
we once can have a rivalry between sections the
production of corn will rapidly increase, because
IN none OF the corn states is the soil made to pro-
duco its full capacity. Tennessee is a great corn
state, and corn is the chief and most important
crop that we raise; yet Tennessee could very cas-
lily double its production, without increasing its
acreage by proper care and cultivation. The ex-
farms, agricultural schools and the
boys corn clubs are teaching valuable lesson
and increasing the output of this splendid food
product at rapid rate. If the fields now planted
IN corn were cultivated to the limit of productivity
enough would be raised to feed the world.

THE WAR SPEEDS ON.

David Lloyd-George has stated to his English
colleagues that "in the dim distance we can see
the end" but that ''it would be mistake to under
rate the nature Of our task"
Former Premier Viviani has declared in Paris
that although victory is certain it will require
hard and prolonged efforts to break Prussan mil
itarism"
Winston Churchill urges that Great Britain
De organized for long war and that food supplies
and prices be put on war basis. He declares
that there is no certainty of speedy ending of
the conflict and makes the astonishing statement
that the German armies are more numerous and
better equipped than ever
In the meantime the Allied drive on all fronts
is making only desultory progress Allied losses
are high and the military experts of The New
York Times, commenting on the British loss of
l28,OOO men in August, says "at first glance this
loss is staggering and at best it is very serious
matter" and "in view of it, it is but natural to
question whether it would be possible politically
or physically for the British army to continue
along their present lines"
In spite of the experts fears, however. the
Allies on the western front resumed their attacks
last week and made some progress. In fact. this
same expert has since declared that no doubt can
exist as to the continuance of the great drive.

5000 PROFIT ON 25 GRADE HOGS.

There has been lot of talk about Yazoo's pro-
fits from hogs shipments, but there has been no
single Success to compare with the attained by
lrot. II. E. White, Of the Yazoo Agricultural High
school, gays the Yazoo Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Of
the 9Th inst
Here's Whites record: Fed and cared for 25
grade Duroc Jersey pigs nearly eight months
rad shipping expenses and cost of attention and
all other costs and derived from the sale of the
pigs profit OF nearly S20O-S19533 TO be exact
Here's how White did it:
During April and May these pigs wer grazed
on good white clover pasture" says Prof White
They We're fed at night and turned to pasture
during the day. In June, the pasture was net 50
goof but the same practice of feeding. During
july and August they were put on full feed. Self
feeders We're used for the corn, tankage, cotton
seed meal and charcoal mixture. They were kept
W from about six o'clock until o'clock the fol-
lowing day during the whole period of full feed
From o'clock to o'clock they were allowed to
run the pasture. Plenty of fresh water and
rubbing post, made Of guEny sack nailed to a
post and saturated with oil, were kept where they
could have access to them at all times"
When asked by the Sentinel reporter what
sind of an impression that this experiment would
have ON farmers in convincing them that the
roper methods Of feeding was the only profitable |
way to raise hogs, Prof. White said "The exper-
ment would indicate that unless corn can be sold |
or something over one dollar per bushel, it |
viii pay the farmer to market it through the pig"

A RACE WAR THREAT IN OHIO.

ENTRAYAGANT AND WASTEFUL.

Granting our virtues we Americans are too
eAuaFaGant and wasteful. The recent effort to

through the use Of things that are thrown away.

DO 1T BEFORE WINTER.

Paint up your house, repair the leaks in the
roof put the caves troughs in proper condition,
and make any other repairs necessary. 1t is your
castle, the place where your happiest moments are
spent, and winter Of pleasure will be assured if
yor attend 10 these things now Your wife wants
you to do it, whether she tells you so or not.
Clean out your well and see that it is in sani-
tary condition. The health of your family should
be your first consideration. And then, too, it
saves doctors bills
Perhaps you need a walk or two around the
house, leading to the front gate, or to the barn,
or elsewhere Build it. Women should not be
compelled to spend five or ten minutes scrapng
mud off Of their feet every time they step out of
DOORS for it is an uncomfortable job in cold winter
months.
Inspect your fences and make necessary re-
pairs. 1t is more pleasant to do it now than to
freeze your fingres in the dead of winter You
know it from experience.
Don't forget your stock. If there are any
holes in the sides of your barn, repair them, too
A shivering animal does not think much of its
owner and neither do most people
Get your neighbors together and look over the
public schhool. The young people do not under
stand SO well the necessity Off proper ventilation
and sanitary measures But they like comfort
and plenty of fresh air. You did yourself, not so
long ago.
Get busy on the roads. They neeed it, and
you need the fesults Of better ones Just how
would you like to be horse, and strain every mus
Gle in an endeayer to pull load through lot of
sticky mud the long and wearsome road to town
and back? Wouldn't like it, would you? Neither
does the horse.
Go after the town officials and have that hole
in the walk repaired, instead of walking around
it every time you pass along the street If they
can't see it OF their own accord it is time they had
1t pointed out to them. Do it yourself.
Make up your mind to go to church occa-
sonally this winter. Make up your mind now
and live up to the make. 1t won't hurt the church
and it will do you a world of good.
Do lot Of other things now that when winter
comes you will wish you had done in the summer
months.
Don't leave anything until tomorrow, for to-
morrow you may be dead and then you will get
the credit Of doing things that others leave

NO RAILROAD STRIKE.

The country is well pleased over the settle
ment OF the railroad situation, even if Congress
did step in and pass the very law which the labor
ers demanded The critics of this action main
tain that the eight-hour day was not involved but
that the real question was an advance in wages,
because the men wanted full pay of the present
ten-hour day for their new eght-hour day But,
they would work, if necessary, just as long as
they did before, if the railroads paid them for
their overtime.
This in essence is correct, but the principle of
the eight hour day is upheld when it is made the
standard OF measurement of a days work for
which laborer is to be paid days wages. The
question OF overtime is another matter, and can
be attended to by the worker and his employer, if
they are both desirous of cooperation together.
We are glad that the labor has gained its point
but we are rather dubious about the influence of
the example set in allowing the labor leaders to
have their way without recognizing in full the
principal of arbitration. Their failure to do So rem
ders it imperative that Congress pass a compuL-
sorry arbitration law for the settlement of indus
trial disputes which affect the public interest to
great extent, as in public service corporations.

DELTA LANDS ALWAYS VALUABLE.

Yes, the cotton crop in the Delta is short this
year, but not failure There has not been a cot

sroEod Cotton, we believe, can always be pro-
caoed in the Delta as money crop. But, the
value Of Delta lands is not based solely on the
tlct that cotton may be produced any and every
y ear but on the certainty that the Delta lands
Ell produce corn, wheat, alfalfa oats and wheat.
aJ the vegetables and fruits just little better
than they may be produced elsewhere, while the
native grasses the ample supply of water and the
mid climate give the Delta special advantages for
stock raising. In fact if not a pound of cotton
could be produced in the Delta, by a change IN
the system of planting. by producing the cereals
grasses, cattle and swine, the value of the pro-
cuctS could be made Just as great as is the pro-
