prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Cottonseed meal is one of the most
concentrated feedstufs that can be
obtained today. 1t contains according
to analyses made by the United States
department Of agriculture, from 38 to
40 per cent of protein. The only feed
OF vegetable origin which has anything
like this percentage is linseed-oil meal.
Inc relative prices of these two feeds
should be the chief factor in determin-
Ing for the farmer which one to use.
Cottonseed meal has. of course, been
1ed extensively for many years in the
South, but its popularity in the North
and West is comparatively recent. In
n past a very large proportion of the
meal produced in this country has
been exported, Europe taking about
four hundred thousand tons in 1913,
despite the fact that it's cost was con.
siderably increased by the freight
across the ocean.
Experience in this country has
shown that ~cottonseed meal is not a
good feed for very young calves, or in
large quantities for bulls. 1t can be
fed to the latter, however, in quanti-
ties OF from two to three pounds a day
throughout the winter with little dan
ger. For breeding COWS. on the other
hand. there is no feed which equals
cottonseed meal in small quantities.
b two pounds of the meal per
head a day, with some silage, stover,
or other farm roughage, will carry the
herd very economically through the
winter. A similar combination is also
economical for stocker cattle. Expert
ments In Alabama showed that cattle
which derived all their feed from
ranging in old cotton and cornstalk
fields and waste land lost about 1O3
pounds per bead each winter, while
those which ran on q similar range
but received in addition "a pounds
OF cottonseed meal and 81 pounds
OF cottonseed hulls. weighed as much
in the spring as they did in the previ-
u fall. In Indiana, also. 1t has been
ascertained that the average rations
al be greatly improved by the add
ton Of ~ pounds of ~cottonseed meal.

animals appetite and they consume

That the Smith-Lever extension law
has already been productive of much
good to Mississippi farmers and If TAX
en advantage of will mean. within the
next few years, great improvements in
the states agriculture and much in
creased wealth, is shown in a report
just given out by E. r. Lloyd. director
of extension, in which he briefly sum-
marizes the results accomplished dur
ing the past year.
AS provided for by this federal stat
ute Mississippi will receive $29,330 for
the year from July. 1915. to July. 1916,
on condition that the state appropriate
a like amount. In order to prevent
Mississipip's being outstripped in this
work by her neighboring states that
were taking immediate advantage OF
the privileges Of this law. the United
already advanced it's share Of the first
years extension fund with the expecta-
ton that the present legislature will
provide a like amour as the states
part. To enable this and other states
to make the best use of their agrtcul-
tural resources the Smith-Lever law
increases the amounts made available
each rear for seven years by $16.1OS
to each state that will offset this with
a similarly increased appropriation for
extension work. Thus in 1861, IL
Mississippi meets the requirements,
her citizens will secure from the fed
eral government $45.43S for farm and
homo development.
The value to the state Of these funds
70 be used for upbuilding the farms
and homes can be estimated from the
results already accomplished by the
first appropriation. According to the
directors report the people OF the
state are receiving aid through four
teen different channels Of extension,
among which are the following:
Farm demonstration work. including
the work of the state, district. and
county agents; home economics. in
GLIDING the work Of the state agent:
homo science specialists, and county
agents, and canning club work: boys
club work in corn clubs. baby e

GLIDING aid in drainage, terracing. and
in building barns and silos; commun-
ity organization; cooperative market
ing club organization: dairy improve
ment work; horticultural and home

management, and an information serv-

ton to the state through bulletins and
the press.
Reports from each Of these depart
ments show that they are working at
full capacity with a steadily increasing
demand for their work from the farm
ers OF the state.

BOONE COUNTY FAIR.

The Young Aeroplane Company has
the contract for our Fair and will
send Monte ROlfe the famous English
aviator here. Rolfe will do his SEN
sational stunts the same as he has
been doing in all of the other cities
in which ne has flown.
Aviator Rolfe will arrive here in
time to have his machine set up and
ready to fly a day ahead of time.
Rolfe says he knows what we want
and he is going to give it to us.
The machine used by Rolfe resemb-
les a Curtiss Biplane, but it is in reali.
ty, a copy of the machines used by
the English government in the war
against Germany.
Rolfe is we'll known all over the
world, and has taught a great many
aviators to fly, both in Europe and
America.
The Young Aeroplane Company had
to pay Rolfe a big sum of money to
get him to remain in this country and
give exhibitions this year, and it is
Rolfe's intention to return to Eng.
land at the end of the flying season
here and go to the front. This he will
possibly be compelled to do as soon
as he finishes his contract with the
Young AerOplane Company.
Big things are expected here from
Monte ROlfe, and judging from what
we hear, he will be able to give us
all the flying, and thrills we want.

ILLEGAL SIGNATURES.

Investigations that have been made
Of the petitions for the repeal of the
statewide prohibition law, according
to the officials of the Arkansas Anti
Saloon League, indicate that fully one
half of the signatures are illegal. Not
all of the verifications have been COM
pleted, but enough has been done to
show that if illegal and irregular sig
natures were eliminated, there would
not be enough names left for the ini.
tiation of the bill
But one name on the petition is
given from Boone county, D X. Jones,
of Harrison. An investigation of the
records show that no such man lives
here, and the name does not appear
on the poll tax lists of the past four
years.
