Information For the Farmer
BY r. p. WHITE, AgricuturaIist,
Forrest County Agricultural Higs School,.

I take pleasure in answering the fol-
lowing questions for the benefit Of
those farmers who desire this infor-
nation. Any further information will
be Just as freely given. The questions
sent in this week and answers to same
are given below:
Question: When would you put out
a peach Orchard and what varieties
would you suggest for this section?
J. L. H.
Answer: Peach trees may be put
out any time during the winter
months. But the best time Is in the
fall. Trees planted at this time grow
off more rapidly in the spring because
their root system is better developed
and the winter rains have settled the
soil firmly around the roots of the
young. trees. Fewer trees are lost by
early planting and better growth fol
lows the next spring. Trees may be
planted any time during tne Wlntei
months. however.
Peach trees should be planted in c
well-drained, sandy loan soil, will

ulty, however, of adapting itself to al

NEW PARCEL POST RATES
REDUCE HIGH LIVING
CHAMP CLARK TO ALSO URGE
FEDERAL LAW FORBIDDING
VEAL AS FOOD

Washington, Nov. 2s.-Officials of
the department of agriculture and the
postoffice department have agreed to
ask congress to provide for an extern
sive investigation of the high cost of
living, with view to using The par
eel post to bring the consumer and the
producer closer together. No defn-
ite plan of action beyond requesting
funds for the inquiry have been form
ulated.
The late session of congress appro-
priated $4,000 for parcel post ex-
pertinent of foodstuffs but that is be-
lieved to be too small sum for an
undertaking to result in adequate in
formation. Three general PROPOSE
tions are suggested by friends Of the
parcel post system:
THAT the postage of food stuffs
be lowered so as 10 induce farmers to
supply the nearby markets.
Think Farmer a Victim
2-Enlarge the service out of cities
into rural communities where spe-
cialty is made of food products, and
3-Increase the size of food stuff
parcels from so TO 100 pounds.
Department of agriculture officials
do not believe that the farmer is
boosting the prices, but, on the con-
trary, is the victim equally with the
consumer, Of the middleman.
Champ Clark, speaker of the house,
who returned to Washington today,
issued a statement taking issue with
Representative Fitzgerald, who would
apply an embargo on foodstuffs. The
speaker believes that the high cost of
living is the direct result of con-
spiracy, which should be checked by
immediate and drastic action.
Nailed Ears to Door
81 believe there is a criminal con-
spiracy to raise the price of certain
articles of food" said Speaker Clark.
II do not refer to those staples which
have been affected by climatic condi-
tions, but to others, such as eggs and
butter While / have not examined the
criminal statutes in their bearing up
on the subject, it would seem that
there ought to be some way to reach
the conspiracy thru the law.
"In olden times, in England, the
man who conspired to boost food
prices was called regis err and the
people did not bother with appeal to
the law, but led the offender around
to the blacksmith shop and nailed his
ears to the door.
Every state Legislature ought to
prohibit the sale of veal within the
state; it is not proper food, anyway.
81 intend to urge the PASSAGE at
his session of congress of the Hamil-
ton bill, prohibiting the interstate
shipment of veal, and propose to
= write to the governor of Missouri
. asking him to recommend that the
; legislature prohibit the killing of
]. calves in Missouri"
. Representative Fitzgerald is not
dismayed by the opposition which has
S developed.
S "The fight for an embargo has not
{ yet begun" he said today.
