Mrs. CHARLES ELTINe,

A fine rain visited us Sunday night,
which made the farmer and the house
wife smile. 1t was accompanied by
some wind and sharp lightning. Burn
ing grain could be smelled, but it must
have been some wheat shocks as no re-
port has been given of building or
stacks being destroyed. Corn was in
need of rain very much, gardens were
beginning to dry up and look like the
vegetable canning would not amount
to much, but now we see prospects of
roasting ears and green beans plenty.
Only few ill in the neighborhood at
present and those are mostly just get
ting over the Fourth celebration. The
Fourth was very quiet, but all enjoyed
the day. Chesley Lunt, Theo. MITCHELL

VELVET BEANS FOR FEEDING
One Of Best Feed and Fertilizer Crops
Southern Farmer Can Grow,
Says an Expert.

Director e. r. Lloyd of the Missis-
sfppf experiment station and extension
department Of the Mississippi A. & NJ.
college says:
Zone of the best feed and fertilizer
crops our farmers Gun grow is velvet
beans. Crushed velvet beans in tho
hull and corn in equal proportions
make balanced ration for hogs, cat
tie or horses, and the vines are worth
as much as SIT an acre for fertilizer
The meal from the beans in the hulls
Is worth about one-half as much as
highgrade cotton seed meal, testing
about Az per cent Of fat and II to 10
per cent protein.
The yields Of this crop are enor-
nous. Even after severe storms $500
pounds of beans In the hull were har-
vested per acre, at the Mcneil branch
statfon and 1t has been no trouble to
make as much as 5000 pounds to the
acre. The harvesting is not expensive
as good hand can pick from 500 to
600 pounds day and the usual rate
Of pay is about IS cents a hundred.

WHICH SHALL We BELIEvE7

The liquor interests continue to send
broadcast false statements concerning
conditions In dry states. This Is one
Of them:
an Colorado 5000 were rendered
Jobless by prohibition; they glutted
the labor market; Industrial condi-
lions became chaotic; wages were re-
duced; thousands were thrown on pub
lie charity"
The Colorado state labor commits
sioner, Mr.. Alex Swanson, thus re-
plies:
Prohibition did not make $1,000 job
less. When the 1000 Colorado sa-
looms closed Some 10000 persons were
affected. This number included bar
tenders, pOrters, walters, brewery
workers, etc. They were quickly as
simulated In other lines. There was no
Cutting of the labor market. Our
great trouble has been to get men
enough for the jobs. Wages have not
been going up. Thousands were not
thrown upon public charity. Perhaps
a few saloon hangers-on were, who
would not work anyway. You will al
ways find such in any town. There
are more demands for men to fill the
Jobs since prohibition than there are
men to fill the jobs"
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-06-01
why CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"The answer is easy to give" says
Mr.. l. j. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active In the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibit
tfon. 1.-The grange is constructive
forwurdfoolfn organization. The
first plank in the grange platform Is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and In America. This high purpose
leaves but one course of action that
the grange could possibly take in a
moral issue. II must be on the right
side Of the question.
"ghe grange, state and national, Is
for absolute prohibition, not for ia
natical or sentimental reasons, but be-
cause common sense and the cold
facts In the case conclusively demon
strate that while the saloon Is the
greatest enemy Of the church and the
home, 1t is also a great enemy of ru-
raj progress, Of national development
and the best things in life."

Temperance
lssNOte5a
This FRoM "coLLIERs,..
ICOhducted by the NutiOnAI WUIIIdH
Christian Temperance Union)

In few years the statisticians
ought to have some curves showing
what no booze really means to our
big cities. Under decent and good
government the results are startlingly
similar. For example, here are Seat
tie and Birmingham In opposite cor
ners of the United States, different in
almost every detail of racial makeup,
business interests, etc, but both tell
ing the same ''dry" tale. About one
half as many arrests, fewer murders
and suicides, but more bank clearings,
less fire and more building, Increased
trade and emptied jails-such are
few of the items. The drug problem
iS easier because whisky hasn't done
any subsoil blowing for 1t. These
facts, and more like 'em, are noted
by such papers as the Manufacturers
Record and by keen business men who
wonder now why on earth they ever
thought prohibition would hurt bust
ness. probably they had read it in
the liquor adsD The sameness Is
tiresome except to those who like to
note social progress. and to the I'M
fortunate women and kids who some
times wonder drearily how long 1t will
be before their homes, too, are In out
of the wet.
