Letters urging that Oklahoma mi

been sent by Congressman Scot, Fer

erick Funston, commanding the troops
on tho border Brigadier General VIII

Letter Received Here.
Copies Of the letter TO Mr. Baker, in
which Mr Ferris asserts that, unless
Oklahoma troops are relieved from
border duty by Jan !, 1917 their en-
ployers-many Of whom have been
carrying them on the paYollS and in
addition hiring subsututoS-can no
longer continue such generosity, were
received here today
The letter to the secretary OF war
Is as follows: -.
81 appeal to YOU partially on behalf
Of the employers OF members OF the
Oklahoma militia on the border and
partially on behalf OF the militlamen
themselves and wan, to urge YOU with
all the earneStncsS have at my com
mand to permit their withdrawal IRON
the border between now and Jan. l.
1917. The situation in a word, Mi.
Secretary, is simply this
Positions at Stake.
"The employers Of mllluamen have
carried the latter on the payrolIs and
ha,e held their positions open tor
them throughout all the present calen-
dar year, but they arc unwilling to
continue this procedure and unwilling
to retain substitute employees and
carry the militiamcn on the payrollS
longer than Jan |, 1917 UnlcSs the
boys on the border are permitted to
return home in the meantime and re-
sumo their old positions which have
been held open for them all this time
it will work great hardship upon
them and lnilict a greater injury upon
them than they ought TO be compelled
to endure.
MANY OF the mili,iamen when they
went to the border left little private
businesses behind them and these have
almost gone to rack and ruin. The
appeals that come to me from the en-
ployers and the parents OF the boys
and others are so insStent that they
cannot be longer ignored.

Have yours vaccinated. | will
do the work free: you pay for
the serum. 1t will cost about as
follows: Pigs weighing 80 lbs,
Csc; hogs weighing 100 lbs, 45c;
hogs weighing 200 lbs., 75c.
Hog cholera is very contagious.
Burn all dead hogs and disinfect
pens and quarters. The disease
is scattered by buzzards. dogs
and on the feet of people visit
ing infected premises. Running
streams of water may carry the
disease many miles.
Use every precaution. Allow
no stray dogs on your premises.
Shoot all buzzards and destroy
their young and nests. The law
providing for the protection of
buzzards has been repealed.
Now is the time to buy your
lespedeza seed. Large quantities
of old seed were carried over
fromI1914. Only about so per
cent of these old seed will germ
mate. Demand new seed of the
1915 crop. Plant 25 pounds of
seed per acre on the oat land.
Plant any time from Feb. Is to
March Is. Sow broadcast and
harrow lightly if the soil is pack
ed; if newly plowed do not cover
al all.
Remember the County Fair.
With your suggestions and as
sistance we will make it the best
County Fair in Mississippi. We
can do it. Are you willing to
ahs!np? premium list will be
published soon. Watch for it.
Grow all food and feed crops
that you can consume, and then
plant what cotton you can work
thoroughly each week. This is
the only way to beat the weevils.
A Series of terracing demon
STATIONS will be held in the
county during February and the
first week of March. The dates
and places will be published next
week.
Lee county should have 4 live
