/ Ohio railroad. It is a typical county,
of that state, excluding the delta re-
gion.
IN 1916 you will see that CALHOUN
county made 1000 bales OF cotton;
last year the same county grew only
1,700 bales The reduction came first
from a tremendously wet season and
assisted by the boil weevil
But if one can not grow cotton sue
eessfully in Calhoun county one can
do other things See the result of
what was accomplished last year
Fourteen cars of mixed hogs and cat
tel, AZ ears Of cattle alone and eight
cars Of hogs alone are good showing
/ for any one station in the cattle ard
hog business in any county.
The farmers in Calhoun couAty arc
| in good shape, says Mr.. Shelton. The
banks have the largest deposits IN
their history. The people OF CalhoGn
county are living to live They are
determined to- grow enough TO eat,
and they are determined TO sell Z sur
plus Of eatable things.
The Commercial Appeal rejoices
that Calhoun county IS pract;cing the
gospel of the Investigation dispense
ton. The work of change from a
single crop to a diversified crop sys-
tenn is necessarily slow and will all
ways be accompanied by mistakes,
but gradually the southern farmer
will learn to handle cattle and hogs
and grasses just as skillfully as he in
the past has handled cotton and cow
peas
May we suggest at this time Of the
year also to all of our readers in this
entire territory, no matter wheth III
last year they grew one bale of cotton
or 1000 bales, that this year they will
do mighty well if they plant some
potatoes, corn and COW peas and the
like? The price of food is tremen-
dously high, but we can reduce the
cost of living down here within three
months from this 18th day of January.
And if we put in an early garden we
will then be within striking distance
Of lot Of stuff to eat on our own
farms.
Germany fought the war during
1915 and 1916 on the potato crops.
We can begin to cut this high cost of
living in the South materially just as
soon as early potatoes come in.
What is being done in Calhoun
county ought to be done in every
county in the state, regardless Of
whether the boil weevil is advancing,
retiring or annihilated. - Memphis

SUCCESS AND READING

Most persons look to the successful
farmer with envy. But there is no
reason for this. The successful farm
er has been successful because of his
close application to the details Of a
business which he has studied care
fully. The advertisement for a farm
paper in a recent issue of a printers
magazine expresses the idea in this
way:
Everybody looks up to and re-
spects the successful farmer. He is
one best asset in every community.
"The rest of the world may be mad
ly engaged in feverish sort of foot
ball scrimmage for place or power,
but the man with lot of good land
paid for, home upon it provided with
modern creature comforts, a farm
possessing suitable general equipment
including always good live stock
is Americas most desirable citizen.
"He radiates thrift and the sunshine
Of better things all about him.
Usually you viii find that he is a
reader Of this magazine. Most men
of this type will tell you that the
paper has helped them forward"
Business farmers of community
will likewise tell you that they are
using the columns of their local week
ly paper to make their business what
it ought to be. Successful men read.
Successful men advertise.

DO LIKEWISE

To The Commercial Appeal;
Our county made over 1900 bales
Of cotton in 1915 and only about 1,700
in 1916-quite difference. But our
railroad station here shipped IA cars
Of mixed hogs and cattle and Az cars
Of cattle alone and eight cars Of hogs
There are two other shipping points in
the county that did well also in the
shipping of live stock.
Owing to the general Investigation
of the farmers and the various live
stock interests our farmers are in
good shape. The banks in the county
show the largest deposits in their his
tory. We sowed lots Of wheat last fall
and our people are ordering various
breeds of fine cattle, hogs and poultry
and we feel that in a couple Of years
we will be the leading county in the
state in stock-raising and farm di-
versifcation. VIM. SHELTON,

GET READY TO KILL THE FLY

Observe the fly that has lived all
winter in some crevice, either in the
house or barn. There she hides, quite
content and oblivious to the cold
weather, until about the middle of
March, when the first warm spring
days tempt her out into the sunshine
In a few days she decides to multiply
the fly family, and if a manure pile is
not convenient she searches odt the
next best place in some filthy back
yard OF privy vault or garbage can
She is aware that after the maggots
are Matched they must have filth to
feed upon to make them thrive.
She lays 100 eggs.
They hatch out 100 tiny, crawling
creatures, known as maggots.
They grow quite rapidly. 1t takes
about ten days for them to develop
into flies. They are fully matured at
the age of fourteen days.
Sixty of them lay 100 eggs each,
lust as their mother did, and by the
first Of September the sixth genera
ton Of Mrs. Fly has reached the enor-
nous number Of about 100000 OO,-
900 descendants

ing in March.

THE CAUSE OF DREAMS

Psychologists have given consider
able thought and study to the subject
of dreams, but there are many ques-
tions concerning them and phenomena
associated with them, the actual state
of the unconscious mind and the rela-
ton between the mind and the body
when we dream, ETC., which have never
been answered satisfactorily. 1t is
impossible to say why we dream in all
cases or to account for the nature of
some of our dreams, as when we
dream about things we never saw or
thought Of or experienced, things that
never existed and that, to our waking
minds, are utterly preposterous and
foolish.
The cause of most of our dreams can
be determined with fair degree of
certainty. For example, when we have
dream that frightens us--a night
mare-it is usually caused by distress
and uneasiness in the stomach result
ing from indiseretion in eating. In
many cases, it appears, dreams are
caused by some sensory impression re-
ceived by some center of the brain,
such as that of hearing, touch, smell,
etc.
Results of a number of interesting
experiments dealing with the causes
Of dreams, conducted by Alfred Mau-
ny, are recorded in a recent number
of the Scientific Monthly, essentially
as follows: In one test the expert
menter caused himself to be tickled on
the lips and inside the nostrils while
he slept. This resulted in dream that
he was subjected to terrible punish
ment, mask of pitch being applied to
his face, then roughly torn off, re-
moving with it the skin of his lips,
nose and face.
When pair of tweezers was held
near his ear and struck with pair Of
scissors, the sound impression caused
him to dream that he heard the ring
ing of bells. A bottle of perfume
held near his nostrils caused him to
dream that he was in perfumer's
shop. In another experiment, burn
ing match was held near his nostrils
while wind was blowing through the
room. This caused him to dream that
he was aboard ship and the maya
zine had blown up.
When he was slightly pinched on
the nape of the neck, he dreamed that
a blister was applied and this recalled
to his mind physician who had treat
ed him in childhood. A red hot iron
held close enough to his body for a
slight sensation of heat to be felt
caused him to dream that robbers
were in the house and that they were
putting the feet of the inmates to
the firetin order to make them disclose
the hiding place Of valuables.
The word "Lenoe" was spoken and
when he awoke he recollected it and
found that he had attributed it to one
of the persons who had conversed with
him in his dream. When a drop of
water was allowed to fall on his fore
head he dreamed that he was in Italy,
that he was very warm and was drink
ing wine. A light, surrounded with
Ered paper and repeatedly placed be-
fore his eyes, caused 6 dream in which
tempest and lightning figured.

ABOU BEN ADHEM

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in
creased
Awoke one night from deep dream
of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in
bloom,
An angel, writing in book of gold
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem
bold,
And to the presence in the room he
said,
what writest thou?" The vision
raised it's head,
And with look made all of sweet
accord,
Answered, '"The names of those who
love the Lord"
And is mine one? 2" said Abou. Nay,
not so",
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more
low,
And cheerfullly still, and said, Il pray
thee then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow
men,
The angel wrote and vanished The
next night
1t came again, and with great awak-
ening light,
And showed the names whom love of
God had blessed,
And, 10! Ben Adhem's name led all
the rest.

TO STOP HOG CHOLERA
PUBLIC CAN HELP MUCH
DR.. ]. Nj. Jacob, State Veterinarian,
Tells Of State Wide Educational
Campaign.

'To anyone interested in or identi-
fed with live stock sanitary control
work it is apparent that success in
the control ana eradication of trans
missable diseases depends in great
measure on intelligent public cooper
alton. This is especially true with
diseases that are widespread, and of
which hog cholera furnishes a most
excellent example, said DR.. M. Jacob,
state veterinarian, when interviewed
on this question.
I'm those communities where we
have been able to develop deep inter
est and intelligent appreciation OF the
true nature of hog cholera, most ex-
cellent progress is being made and the
LOSSES materially lessened. For the
past year or more we have carried on
an educational campaign, principally
in the form of public meetings and
demonstrations carrying the work in
to those sections where it appeared
to be most needed. The results Of
these meetings were so apparent that
we decided to strengthen our plan in
such way that it could be carried
into all parts of the state as quickly
as possible under the most advantage
eous conditions.
ITO do this an agreement has re-
Gently been perfected between the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry, the Division of Extension Of
the College Of Agriculture, University
of Tennessee, and the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, as the three CO.
operating forces to carry on a hog
cholera educational campaign to be
Immediately directed from the office
of the state veterinarian. By this ar
rangement, two veterinarians are de-
voting their entire time to hog chol-
era, namely: DR.. ROBBERY Jay, who
represents the United States Bureau
Of Animal Industry as hog cholera
specialist, and DIR. G. Dillon White,
who became associated with the State
Department Of Agriculture during the
past year as assistant in hog cholera
control. It is our present purpose to
carry this work into every county in
the state during the next twelve
months, and it will consist Of lectures
and demonstrations which, under
proper conditions, will be supplement
ed with stereopticon views.
an those counties having farm
demonstration agents, working under
the Division of Extension, all arrange
ments for the holding of educational
hog cholera meetings viii be made
through them. Where there is no
county agent, the meetings will be
arranged through other actively in
terested channels, such as progressive
farmers, commercial bodies, banking
institutions, merchants, etc. Every
phase Of hog cholera will be dwelt
upon, but laying unusual stress on
how to prevent, control and eradicate
this disease on a given farm or COM
munity.
"We are exceedingly optimistic re-
garding the future of this work,
which can be retarded only by lack Of
cooperation on the part of the var
ious forces interested in the conserva-
ton and development of our live
stock industry"

LIME AND HUMUS WORK
TOGETHER MAKING SOIL


The organic matter in soils is con-
stantly breaking down and humus is
being formed. This decomposition,
which is quite essential in a fertile
soil, is promoted by an application of

indirectly, by increasing the bacterial
growth
Humus is necessary for a product

Ii does not seem SO many years ago
since "Wilp' Shelton came 'to town"

If / remember correctly, these five
young men organized the Supply Com

been with it continuously since.
1t is no unusual thing for young
men to leave their native towns and

and we often see new men come to a
town and, taking advantage of oppor-
tunities overlooked by the home boy,
build up a prosperous business. But
do not recall another instance where
a few young men, without heavy finan-
