The County Demonstration Agent II. J. Tyson is enc of the lvest agents of the state, and says he is now ready to begin a new work in this county, the tarracing and drainage work MT Tyson made the following statement concerning the work
 "Tho problem of drainage and ter racing Of farm lands will be taken up in the near future in Little River coun- ty, under the direction of the County Farm Demonstration Agent.
 "In view of the fact that many of the farming lands of this, Little River county. are in need of drainage, as we'll as terracing in many localities, it becomes the duties of the county agent to assist in the construction of these necessary drains and terraces, to protect the soils of this section. A small levelng instrument is being pur- chased for the purpose of laying off these Gitches wherever the land own ers want the work carried out.
 The soils that remain under water a great portion of the winter and spring months are necessarily late and cCld. Ks a result of ths c.ndition many farmers are losing the oppor- unity Of getting the crops under cul- tivation in the early season of each year. X water soaked soil is in every case ac;d. The plant life found grow ing on such lands indicate that the soil needs attention along such lines as putting in water carrying drains.
 The rolling lands are on the other hand in need of terraces to assist in retaining the soil. These terraces can ho put in with the same engineering GU fl IS as the dra.ns are laid out with.

Decatur July 29.-(Special.) -Today was

and the officers in charge announce that
every head of cattle in this county was
dipped in the watts of the county for
the eradication of ticks today.
The officers are having but little trouble

a number of farmers in the southern part
of the county refused to dip their cat
tie and several dipping watts in that Sec
