beans. Crushed velvet beans in
the hull and corn in equal pro-
portion make a balanced ration
for hogs, cattle, or horses, and
the vines are worth as much as
SIT an acre for fertilizer. The
meal from the beans in the hull
is worth about one half as much
as high grade cotton seed meal,
testing about 4 IL percent Of fat
and IL to Is percent protein.
The yields Of this crop are
enormous. Even after severe
storms $500 pounds Of beans in
the hull were harvested per acre,
at the Mcneil Branch Station,
and it has been no trouble to
make as much as 5000 pounds to
the acre. The harvesting is not
expensive as a good hand can
pick from 500 to 800 pounds a
day and the usual rate of pay is
about Is cents d hundred.
This crop will mature in ex-
IRENE northern part Of Missis-
sippi. The beans should be plant
ed after the land warns up or
about the middle Of April The

I. w. Shields returned yester-
day from Rush Springs, Okla,
where he has been for the past
ten days winding up his affairs
preparatory to opening moving
picture shows at Brandon, Pc
lahatchie and Morton. He
was accompanied home by
Mr.. Wade McCrary, an expert
enced electrician, who will have
charge of the installation Of the
machines and other equipment
necessary for the operation o
the high class shows that Mr..
Shields expects to put in. Three
of the most modern plants have
been ordered. and as soon as they
arrive, which will not be later
than next week. the attraction
will begin. The building former
ly occupied by the Newe has
been secured for the Brandon
show. Brandon has long needed
a pace of amusement Of this
kind, and we believed that Mr..
Shields will be accorded a liber-
al patronage.
Pursuant to the recommended
tons made by the ladies Of tn
civic league, the mayor and
board of aldermen at their regu-
lar meeting last Tuesday after
noon adopted a resolution requir-
ing all property and lease owners
ir the town of Brandon to have
their premises and vacant lots
cleaned up and put in absolute
sanitary condition within ten
days from this date. Failure on
the part of those in charge OF
property to have this work
promptly attended to, the resolu
tic adopted by the board en-
powers the town marshal to
have same cleaned and put in
sanitary condition, and charges
for same will be made against
the property. The marshal's at
| tention was also called to the
violation of the ordinanc9 against
| throwing trash and debris in the
streets, which is being practiced
by many of our citizens. He was
instructed to strictly enforce this
ordinance in future. We believe
| that our people fully realize the
necessity of cleaning up the
town, and will lend their cordial
support to this campaign. Re-
member, next week with be de-
voted to cleaning up, and every
body is expeced to do their part.
