Death

Coming to Tupelo Sunday

where the road is making a fill
in one of the long trestles about
a mile east of town. He came

Sheriff Trapp and informed him.
Mr.. Trapp came to town and no

the forehead which broke the
skull.
The body was taken by the

Farmers Meetinss

| The campaign last week
throughout Northeast Mississippi
which was conducted through
the influence of the Memphis
Farm Bureau and the bankers in
the territory that was covered
bv the experts. was very success
full and at every appointment
there was a large crowd to meet
the speakers. This campaign was
put on for the purpose of bring
ing the people to a full realiza-
tlon of present conditions as
early as possible. The bankers
are not farmers, which they all
plainly admitted. but the banker
is business man who keeps up
with the conditions surrounding
him. The bankers know that the
boil weevil has destroyed the
cotton crop OF this section and
tnat there IS grave danger OF
him continuing his work of de-
struction every year. From the
cotton crop the bankers have
largely received their deposits
and without the cotton their de-
poslts Will very materially faA
on. The deposit account is the
hfe OF = bank. Without it the,
bank has q poor business, and
for thls reason the bankers are
lntekeeted III fndIhG some means
by W1ssaf the Wofkof devastation.
OF the boil weevl can be offset
by another crop which will take
the place OF the cotton crop with
our farmers
The experts who were brought
into this campaign very frankly
stated that we should not Quit
raising cotton, but they were
frank to say that the matter &c
raising a cotton crop Under boll
weeyil conditions will be very /
different from what it has been
in the past. They advise that
our farmers. just as soon as the
cotton is gathered from the field, |
to either cut the stalks for forage !
or turn them under to a good
depth and in this way destroy as
many of the weevils as possible |
before they hibernate. This has |
been successfully done elsewhere. |
An early variety of cotton is sug-
gested as the best seed to plant |
and frequent working until the
cotton is opening is advised. Not
more than five acres to the mule
should be planted. By all means

by mating small scrub bulls and scrub
cows, good mules cannot be produced
from small inferior mares nor under
sized jacks On the other hanu, al
the pure-bred beef bull can do much
to produce good beef animals from
these scrub cows, so can the right
kind of jack crossed with native
mares produce good mules. Note the
difference in the wealth produced by
a small inferior jack getting so mules
year, that under the best of treat
ment are worth, as 3-year-olds, only
800 each, or a total of $4,000; and a
big, rugged Mammoth jack mated
with the same mares and getting 80
mules worth, at three-year-old, $3.50
each, or a total of $1,000. The latter
jack is worth nearly twice as much
as the other and is necessarily stood
for high stud feed.
THE question for the farmer to ask
himself is, can l afford to breed to a
small nondescript jack in preference
to a good one for the sake Of five dol
lars difference In stud fee when 1t
makes fifty dollars difference In the
value of the mule?
Jacks like the one shown above
are fast replacing the inferior, under.
sized jacks Of few years ago, farm
ers having realized that to produce
big strong mules their mares must be
mated to big, strong, rugged jacks.

Great Poet. and Others.

AS the centuries roll on 1t becomes
more difficult for poet to reach the
first rank of greatness and more diff
cult for the world to estimate his
greatness.
Whatever is new" said Rossini,
Cannot be beautiful, and whatever is
beautiful cannot be new" Although
this is truer of music than of poetry,
it comes home to us none the less
when we compare the six pre-victorian
poets with six of their Victorian sue
cessors; that is to say, Byron, Shelley,
Wordsworth, Keats. Scott and Burns,
with Tennyson. Browning. Swinburne,
Matthew Arnold, w. Morris and Ros-
setti. AS for those other six, we know
they are great poets, and we know
their individual greatness, but what
of the six who come after?

RELIEF NOT NEEDED
Figures Refute Steel Trust Cry
for Protection"
Enormous Earnings Of the Corpora
ton Proof That Excessive Tar
IN Is Neither Necessary Nor
In Any Way Desirable.

Net earnings for the past quarter
of $51,232.7SS. or $5,729,0S0 larger
than for the same quarter last year;
dividends resumed on the common
stock at the former annual rate Of five
per cent; a surplus of $23,S00,692
above all charges and dividends;
sos, 100000 cash in bank-such is the
extraordinary story of prosperity re-
ported for the country's greatest in
dustrial corporation from recent
meeting of the United States Steel
corporation directors.
Some weeks ago Chairman Gary
gave out statement which conceded
great present prosperity but which
sounded high notes of alarm for the
future. The situation was inflated"
American industry faced after the
war "the most persistent and difficult
competition ever experienced" and
everybody must now prepare for cal
amitous consequences then unless
adequate (tariff) protection" is mean
time provided
The practical sense of that view
must have been that the Steel corpora
ton itself should go slow in any divi-
dend action on the present prosperity,
and Wall street so interpreted it.
as In a belief that no dividend or only
small one would be declared.
It is apparent that the other direc-
tors did not share these views Of dis
astrous competition from nations bled
white and industrially crippled by
war. Even Mr.. Gary himself seems to
have revised them, as he also voted
for the five per cent rate. Against
that terrible day not far ahead when
adequate protection" must be had
II the steel industry is to be saved
from ruin, neither so great steel ex-
pert as Mr.. Prick nor such good
judges of general business prospects
as Mr.. Morgan and George w. Per-
kins made any effort to conserve the
corporations cash resources as far
as possible.
The conclusion is evident. The gen.
tlemen of the steel board are practi-
cally as one in an inability to foresee
any such day.

CORNER OF THE HEART.

Since we parted yester eve
1 do love thee, Love, believe,
Twelve times dearer. twelve hours longer,
One sun surer-thus much more
Than loved thee, Love, before.
Where is the lad who does not want
all of the heart, when he asks lassie
to be his wife? He forgets that there
Is no heart that is not tenanted by
many. The young woman must re-
serve a portion of her heart for ia
Their and mother, sisters, brothers,
uncles, aunts and cousins.
He should be thankful to receive q
corner of his sweetheart's heart at the
outset. One by one the love ties snap
asunder. She turns to her husband
transferring the major portion of the
love that has been thrust back upon
her heart. The time comes when she
has no one else to look to but him.
Then he has her whole heart, unless
she has children, each one of whom
has its niche.
This same holds good with the hus-
band. Girls make their boast that they
will not marry unless they are sure
they have mans whole heart They
miss many a good man whose par
ents are leaning upon him for love and
consolation in their old Age. The
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1916-02-25

Love that is too hot and strong,
Burneth soon to waste,
Still 1 would not have thee cold,
Nor too backward, nor too bold.
Love that lasteth till tits old,
Fadeth not in haste.
Everybody adores the saint-at
least they say they do. We couldn't
get along without the saints to Offset
the pranks of the sinners. Yet, many
man says that taking saint to wife
has it's drawbacks as well as its pleas
ures. The poet knew what he was
talking about when he said, "The best
sweetheart of ali Is she who is not too
good for common food" He meant
that of the girl who could enter into
the life of everyday folks with it's joys,
sorrows, ambitions and disappoint-
ments.
When a man marries he wants a
companion-a loving woman to sit
with him at the fireside, and to talk
over their mutual interests. Every
man wants pious helpmate, but If it
is the nature of a particular man to be
full of fun, loving company rather
than quiet, he would have to have the
patience Of Socrates If the angelic
wife of his bosom insisted that he
should go to the Bible class Monday
evening. praper meeting Tuesday eve.
ming, Wednesday evening conference,
Thursday evening, Sunday school
teachers meeting, Friday evening to
church revival-and only let out on
Saturday evening because there is
nothing going on.
Even the best of women can carry
their fervor for good too far. A HUI
man being feels uncomfortable and in
ferior in the presence of saint. Ev.
cry woman should be just as good as
she can be, but she should take care
not to parade ito work in quiet, I'M
obtrusive ways to better the lives of
those about her. One does not have
to dress in sackcloth and ashes to be
great, good, noble and true. Many
homes entertain an angel unawares.
The world is full of wives who make
no outward show of the great good
they accomplish. They know that
their husbands are doing the best they
can. 1t is their duty to devote certain
portions of their time to him, as well
as to their home folks. The babies at
home need attention quite as much as
do the heather abroad. Every man
will tell you that he has married one
of the best women in the world. No
woman can be too good. They are
happiest who strike a happy medium,
letting their words and deeds proclaim
them for what they are. Angels can
be divided into classes, but those
whom we love most are those who
bring sunshine into our homes, who
love us unselfishly, and whom we
adore and could not live without.
Patient wives are saints, the mothers
who save, work, denying themselves
for husband and children, are saints,
as are those who reform the fallen
and unfortunate.

Nothing counts in mule like size
and quality. Proper breeding will give
these.
The use of well-bred jacks and big
mares In mule-raising is on the in
crease, and every year brings improve
ments in the states crop of mules.
The farmers have put the scrub mule
in the same class with scrub cattle
and razorback hogs, and say these
must all go. Since Embarrassing is the
states most valuable livestock indus
try, its Improvement means increased
wealth to the farmers.
''The farm value of mules alone in
Mississippi 10 equal to the total value
of milk cows, beef cattle, sheep and
hogs. The farm value of horses and
mules in the state is nearly twice as
great the value of all other livestock.
In view of the financial Importance of
horses and mules no form of livestock
deserves more careful attention"
This is the statement of H. X. Gayle,
in charge of animal husbandry at the
Mississippi Experiment Station. Mr..
Gayle predicts that since this Expert
ment Station has demonstrated that
mules can be raised for one-half the
cost hitherto paid on the open mar
Ike for mules brought into the state,
the production of the right kind Of
Mississippi mules will be greatly
Increased.
"For the same reason" he states,
-..:ttss.at good beef cannot be produced
