Study Sickness Problem.

+ Sacramento, March Miss Bar
bara Nachtrieb, secretary, and Mis-:
E. Cooley, statistician for the state
social insurance commission, started
today upon an investigation of hos.
pitfalls and industrial plants in Sar
Francisco, to ascertain the approx
mate rate of sickness and the extent
of assistance now given by employ

The data will be used in deciding
whether the recommendation should

form of social insurance, backed by
the state, in cases of sickness, as now
is used in industrial accidents.

BIG LAND DEAL
HAS COLLAPSED

It was discovered today that the
sale of the Whsle property at trus-
tees sale for $4,000 is void, and C.
E. Sprouse, after working for three
months to finance the deal, finds his
labor lost.
The order for the sale required two
publications each week for three
weeks of the notice of sale, and one
week the notice was printed but once
in the paper to which it had been
given.
Newspapers look on legal advertis-
ing as requiring exceptional care, and
this incident serves to illustrate the
fact.

WHY ROB THE SOIL !?
BY r. p. WHITE, Agriculturist,
Forrest County Agricultural High School.

1t is an evident fact that, we, as
different crops remove different food
elements from the soil, we must, of
necessity, rotate crops. The old prac-
tice of letting cotton follow cotton,
year after year, must be abandoned.
Cotton once was our only money crop,
and would be now were it not for the
boil ,weeyilo But this condition does
prevail and probably will under all fu-
ture agricultural conditions. So it be-
hooves us, as farmers, to adopt a
rational cropping system which will
give us living, and at the same time
increase the fertility of our soils.
The success of farming in South
Mississippi depends entirely on the in
dividual Anyone who will work intel
igently to build up his soil and to
add more to the soil each year than
is removed will make a successful
farmer. One of the crying needs of
our section of the country is more
live stock. Live stock can be srown
successfully and profitably here. To
have an abundance of baw-yard ma
nure to apply to the 5oil will mean
more to the soil thar any thing else.
There is always a market for cattle.
So why not grow stock and grow le-
guminus crOns TO feed them on? In
this way we could soon have very pro
ductive soils and develop a wonderful
trucking industry. This seems to be
the only solution for South Missis-
sippi,
in order to grow and market truck
and live stock successfully the farm
The Hattiesburg news., 1916-02-03

ers must co-operate-work with each
ether. In helping some one else one
helps ones self. 1t. seems to me that
the best plan for US to follow this time
is for every farmer in each commu-
nifty to contribute toward getting pure
bred bulls, boars, jacks. rams, etc.,
and place at the head of the commt-
nifty herds. BY this practice we de-
velop up our stock, whereas the re-
verse is not true. Take for example
a pure bred bull and breed to scrub
COW. The first offsprings would be a
half breed or so per cent pure. Then
a second cross would result in three
quarters or IS per cent pure, The next
an S7b per cent pure, etc. Lets see
if the reverse is true. Take pure
bred cow and breed to a scrub bull.
The first result would be half breed,
or so per cent pure, then a cross be-
tween the scrub bull and the half
breed would result in a one-quarter,
or 20 per cent pure. a next cross
would result in 121s per cent pure,
next 6A per cent, etc. Thus the nee
essity of the former practice.
We hope to produce enough hogs
and ''baby beeves" this year in For
rest county TO ship out several car
loads. Not only these, but we expect
to grow lots of truck crops. But let's
not forget to add more to the soil than
we remove each year. By following
this practice our soils will become
more fertile and more productive. Our
farmers become more intelligent and
more progressive.

that the machinery of our cotton seed

of soy bean meal and oil. The soy
bean straw is a good stock food and
the fertilizer resulting from feeding
the plant is of much value. The roots
and nodules left in the soil improve
the fertility. Millions of acres of land
hitherto barren and unproductive may
be restored to it's virgin fertility by
proper use of this plant and a .nomi-
