HON. THOMAS c. ASHCROFT,

The people Of Lee county all
rejoice in the fact that a Verona
boy has been called to the may.
orally of the city of Memphis in
the person of Hon. Thomas C..
Ashcroft.
Mr.. Ashcroft was born and
reared at Verona, and received
his early education under Drs.
r. M. Leavell and ]. G.. Dupree.
afterwards professors in the
University of Mississippi for
many years. Mr.. Ashcroft be-
gan life as telegraph operator.
He was so gifted in this vocation
that his rise to eminence in the
employ of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad was marvelously rapid.
The Associated Press of St. Louis
realized his great capacity for
rapid and accurate reporting ard
sent him to Washington City,
where for years he was congress
sional reporter for that organi-
cation. Later he was transferred
to Memphis, where he managed
the Associated Press office for rs
years. He resigned that position
a few years ago to enter the
banking business.
Mr.. Ashcroft was recently
state senator from Shelby county
and served as chairman of the
finance committee of the Tonnes
see Senate, which position he
filed with signal ability. Under
his wise leadership the financial
affairs of our sister state have
been very greatly improved. He
resigned his seat in the senate in
Novem Der last to become a city
commissioner. During his brief
service as commissioner he dis
played those splendid qualities
which have characterized him
from boyhood.
The Journal predicts that his
administration as mayor will
prove highly beneficial for the
Bluff City. Our congratulations
go to Memphis; our good wishes
to Mr.. Ashcroft.

Suggestions on Safe Farming

Tor every family on the farm
and can sufficient of the surplus
vegetables that cannot be raised
in the winter for your and their
family use. Sell your surplus
canned stuff to your neighbors,
who appreciate quality You can
not expect to compete in the
open market with the large can
neries. Let each family produce
sufficient Irish and sweet pota-
toes. as we'll as molasses.
Second. Produce corn neces-
sary to support all of the people
on your place and the live stock.
Make sure Of your corn supply
by planting oats. After oats are
cut a crop of something else can
be produced. Contrary to past
belief, wheat planted in the south
yields and grinds as we'll as that
of other sections. Try an acre
for your own use.
Third. Produce hay and for
age sufficient to supply all of the
live stock on the farm. Use le-
gumes, such as clover, cow peas,
velvet beans, soy beans and al
falfa, where practical, as they
enrich and build up the soil with
nitrogen and homus. Remember,
too, that naturally strong or built
up lands respond better to COM
mercial fertilizers than poor lands
do, prairie lands excepted. Keep
your lands built up by the use of
commercial fertilizers to raise
the crops with.
Fourth. Produce meat neces-
sary to supply your people. Make
your waste lands productive by
gradually building up your herd
and breed of cattle. 1t is cheap
er to raise a good bred animal
than a scrub, and if you haven't
a high grade male, there is doubt
less one in your neighborhood.
If not, get together with your
neighbors and buy one, and To-
cate him convenient to all. Every
family should raise poultry. Cot
ton seed meal with other feeds
is the finest and cheapest of all
known feeds for hogs, cattle,
horses, mules and poultry. Cot
ton seed meal, cotton seed bulls,
silage and native hays cannot be
surpassed as a balanced ration
for cattle. Formulas can be OBJ
tanned from the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, Agricultural
College, Miss, or from the sec
rotary of the association.
Fifth. Gradually build up to
intensive farming. tits cheaper
to produce the same amount of
stuff on 10 acres than it is on 20
20. This can be done by putting
humus in the ground, proper
preparation of the land, proper
cultivation, use of commercial
fertilizers and constant work.
Sixth. After all of the above
has been provided for produce
cotton for the market. tits your
and the south's money crop,
and when you get the money
spend it for stuff grown, made
and soldin Mississippi.
The selection of seed is just as
important as preparation and
cultivation
