A POPULAR APPOINTMENT.

The appointment during the
month of the Delta Insurance
Agency of Greenwood, Mississip-
pi, as General Agents of the Pan
American for the Delta Section of
that State, is regarded as one of
the most promising appointments
of the year. Shelby S. Steele,
ce-President of this Agency, is
a man of keen foresight, strong
personality and business acumen,
and with his ability to organize
should be able to get permanent
possession of that field and build
up strong and valuable agency
for the Pan-American in a COM
paratively short time.-From New
Orleans Pan-American Life.
The Pan American Insurance
Company were particularly fortu-
nate in making this appointment
for the Delta territory, as Mr..
Steele and his associates are live,
up-to-date and enterprising in
surance men, and will prove busi-
ness-getters for the Pan-American
in this section.

BANK GUARANTY Law.

We note with interest that the
first bank failure in Mississippi has
occurred since the guaranty of
bank deposits act went into effect
a year and a half ago, and that all
depositors in the defunct institu-
ton were promptly paid in full out
of the state guaranty fund MAIN
tanned for that purpose. In this
connection, it is noteworthy fact
that in Oklahoma, where a similar
law has been in operation for a
number of years, that to date not
single depositor has lost nickle
through bank failures in that
state. There have been bank fail
ures, of course, but in every case
the depositors have been paid out
of guaranty fund the full amount
due them. In both these states
these acts were bitterly opposed,
but to us they appear to have
been excellent pieces of legisla-
ton. We believe the farmer, or
any other man, for that matter.
has a right to demand that his
money will be safe when he de-
posits it in a bank, and so far these
laws have served their
purpose Well.---The Progressive
Farmer.

CULTNATES TREES
 TO KILL ROOT ROT

Replying to an inquiry as the cause of fruit trees dying, Dr. R. II. Forbes. director of the agricultural experiment station says: So far as I can tell from your letter it looks as though your trees were affected with root rot, which attacks the trees at a distance below the surface of the soil and works up to within few inches of the surface, when the trees, being deprived of their root system. sudden ly die This disease is favored by over irrigation and lack of cultiva- ton. these being conditions which re- suit in insufficient aeration of the soil Inasmuch. therefore, as root rot thrives with insufficient aeration, the best preventative measure Is to apply sufficient, but not too much, irrigating water and to cultivate thoroughly after every irrigation. These precau- tions will contribute materially to the health of the trees. There is no posi- tive remedy that can be suggested for diseased trees and the infection, since it lives in the soil. is very difficult to get rid of. Irrigate with care. there fore, and cultivate thoroughly in order to lessen the damage as much as pos eible

Idea that the business can be followed

idea that the business can be followed more intelligently, the proper laying strains can be selected, and the weak points and pens eliminated. An illus tration of this is the experience of one pen of w. T. Akers. northwest of town.
 MT. Akers secured 80 eggs from the White Leghorn pens from the Palm Olive Poultry Ranch, owned by w. o. Ferris, of Glendale. Twelve of the eggs proved to be clear and 66 of the so eggs matched chicks. The records show that one large yellow hen alone raised 56 of the hatches. These chicks were matched August 15, 1915; laying was generally commenced with the pen early in December 1915. The records show that the eggs were large and that the laying was maintained in satis-

Akers is sat isfied that as soon as the molting sea son is passed that laying will begin again, and that he will get good results from this pen. Mir Akers recommends to other poultrymen the keeping of careful account of all the elements in the business. In this way any particu- lar pen of chickens will show valuable data for the future guidance in the selection or rejection of any strain, conditions or other ideas. Chicken raising in Salt River valley, like dairy ing, is assuming large proportions as result of better breeds and more care full handling.
