COMMENCEMENT K. HIS.
Excellent Program Well Render
ed The Class Address Fine
HonOrs Awarded

AS a general tnlng, cOnHience-
ment exercises are of interest
principally and generally to
those who have relatives on the
program, but there was an ex-
ception to this general rule at
the court house Thursday night
of last week.
From the opening march to
the benediction the numbers on
the program were well rendered
and well received by the more
than crowded house.
Seldom has there been a sett-
ing more beautiful for the pur-
pose of lending charm to an oc-
casion than that arranged by
the young women of the gradu-
ating class, assisted by young
men in and out of school. The
stage, if such it could be called,
was indeed bower of beautiful
flowers so arranged that they
gave most enchanting sur
rounding for the youth and
beauty destined to walk forth
into more rugged scenes from
the close of the exercises.
The opening march by Miss
Maude Rucker indicated the
high class program which was to
follow. After the invocation by
B. G. Rudd who has a style
which he suits to the occasion,
Miss Edith Taylor's number, a
piano solo, in no wise disap-
pointed those who had encored
Miss Rucker's selection. The
quartette, Misses Hulda Taylor,
Mary Thrash, Donna Byerly and
Emma Clifton Rucker, violin
numbers from Schuman and
Bvordk, delighted the audience.
Miss Roberta Parks selection
piano solo, Les Myrtes, Wachs
astonished her friends as well as
delighted them and the young
girl was recognized as a coming
artist.
The number of the evening
was the valedictory, Miss Kath
crime Sigloch not disappointing
the expectation that the address
would distinguish the entertain
ment. Her subject, Edgar Allel
Poe was handled in way tina
would have done credit to
finished writer. We will hav
the privilege of publishing tn
article in full, tho not befor
next week, as it now appears
but whenever we can give it t
our readers, we commend it t
their attention.
The vocal solo by Prof. Ere
Cowles was splendid and on
par with his best efforts in song
We have had class addresse
and again class addresses but
ever, there have been few time
indeed when an address to tn
graduating class at this city ha
so pleased the class, teachers
audience and sightseers. Rev
Fred V. Loos will have a crowC
ed house every time he appear
here until he quits public speal
ing. Prof. Gibbany popularize
himself by mis- selection for tt
address and Elder Loos estaI
lished himself in the estimate
of the community as one Of IL
most pleasing speakers it hi
been our good fortune to liste
to. In some way Elder Loo
remarks at certain points lie
the impression that he was
democrat, andif he was given
fair opportunity, he could 81

WET SPOTS MADE VALUABLE
Soeey Patches Can Be Drained and
Profitable Crops Raised-Few
Suggestions on Drainage.

Couldn't you turn into money-mak-
ing patches those soggy spots on your
farm-marshy spots where the young
corn turns yellow and has the
drowned out" look? Such spots are
not only inconyenient to work around,
but are expensive as well.
Tile drains as a rule have proved
to be the most economical form of
drainage, as they last indefinitely and
give satisfactory returns. Daniels
Scoates, agricultural engineer of the
Mississippi A and NJ. college, offers
the following suggestions to farmers
who have drainage to do:
Use good tile.
Use an engineers level in putting in
your tile.
Use four-inch tile or larger for ordi-
nary purposes.
Have the size of your mains calcu-
lated.
Before you cover your tile test the
grade with level to see that the
drain has the proper fall.
Protect your outlets against Gazing
banks and burrowing animals.
Get assistance in putting in tile II
you don't understand how it is done.

good practice with such breed to sim

then fix the hopper, so that they will

main things in egg production. and the
entire system of feeding should be di.

After salesman pupils have guessed
every official about the establishment,
the superintendent explains. No. no,

of some live stock in advance Of the
wee i invasion we would be better
able to stand the invasion.
No man who is unaceustomed to
handling stock is going to be as sue
cessful the first year as he might 9th
erwise be. Livestock growing is as
big a job as cotton growing, and even
harder to learn. Then, too, the help
around place must be - familiarized
with the job. 1t is thing that ought
to be tackled with some caution and
on a reasonable scale.
A man who is going into the cattle
business who is to raise Sleeper hogs,
and gradually change over from one
crop planter to a farmer with diversi-
fled interests, had better do a lot of
studying while he is getting his start.
He should read everything he can lay
his hands ON that will tell him any
thing of the management of cattle I'M
der southern conditions. He ought to
visit some farm in his home region
where stock is being successfully
handled Seeing thing done is the
pest possible Training IOI uOlHS IL lOi
yourself.
Cattle growing is an industry that
should succeed in most of the cotton
districts. Rough feeds and ordinary
pasture will push a bunch of cattle
along toward maturity and profit. Hog
growing may be even better for many
planters. The average man knows
more about hog breeding and growing
than he does about the cattle industry.
Corn and cowpeas will furnish the
staple feeds necessary to make pigs
into home-killed pork or fit them for
the markets.
Along with the livestock growing
we should keep up the planting of cot
ton. Cotton is our crop, and while the
weevil may whip us away from it as
the sole wealth producer, we should
keep right on with it, reducing the
acreage If necessary. the weevil-fight

The feeling of panic that used to be
so common when the boll-weevil terri.
tory was extended is not quite so com,
mon any more. We are not quite so
much in fear of the boil weevil as we
were ten, or even five years ago
writes Ed Beyier of Georgia in Farm
Progress. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has helped us. the
state officials have been of great serv-
Ice, but more than anything else, is the
growing conviction that even though
the cotton crop must go it will not
mean the end of the world.
Live stock possibilities are causing a
lot of people to do great deal of
thinking When the weevils cut down
the yield and bring what looks like i'm
mediate ruin to our one great industry,
there are some people who despair, but
more will accept it philosophically. We
have great section for livestock
growing and all we need is a little
more familiarity with the caring for
and feeding of live stock.
Anywhere in the cotton country we
have short winters and long grazing
seasons. A man from the lower Michi-
gan peninsula was telling me last sum
