stock although that perhaps the only kind of freight

Farm Demonstration Agent.

Mr.. Editor: / have read with
great pleasure the very timely COM
munication of County Superintend-
ent H. H. Bullock, in your last issue,
on the subject of farm demonstra-
ton agent, as also the very able edi-
torial endorsing the same.
Week after week, the papers TEEN
with the cooperative activities of
our neighboring counties, showing
the marvellous results in agricul-
tural, cattle and hog shipments,
through the agency of farm demon
strators. Rankin county is entitled
to the same privileges, and advan-
tages accruing to her sister coun-
ties, yet she is one of the few coun-
ties in the state, that is denied this
valuable adjunct-a farm demon
strator. Our people have to shift
for themselves, selling in unknown
markets, without Cooperation, even
though a beneflcent Federal law
places half the expense of this
agent on the government. Only a
few days ago, lear, a citizen of the
county passed through Brandon, en-
route to Jackson, with a few hogs to
join a cooperative shipment at
Jackson; for quite awhile portion
of our county has relied on Kinds
county fer The advantages Of CO.
operative shipments. Does Rankin
get the credit for these shipments?
1t is as good hog, cattle and agricul-
tural county as the average, but for
some reason its citizens are denied
the services of an agent who would
not only stimulate progress in agri-
cultural lines, but would find a
market for any surplus products.
The want Of this market has been
the stumbling block to the farmer,
but these demonstration agents have
solved this question, intelligently
and we'll.
True, we had demonstration agents
in the early days of the movement;
perhaps our people were not ready
for it then. The beauties and advan-
tages of cooperative buying and
selling in approved markets, were
not then within the purview Of the
agent; certain it is the work was not
appreciated; now we have the ocular
demonstrative proofs of the great
benefits coming to the counties hay-
ing demonstration agents. hope the
articles referred to may encourage
our Board of Supervisors, all of
whom are farmers, to give Rankin
an even chance with other counties
Give us first elias, up to date DEM
onstrator, gentlemen, so that our
farmers may enjoy that prosperity
commensurate with their labors and
the people will rise up and call you
blessed"
Do it, because it is right; do it be-
cause it is progressive; do it be-
cause it is justice to your people.
Let us have demonstration.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.

The Rankin county Teachers As
sociation will meet at Brandon Sat-
,urday next, Dec. s. Every teacher
in the county is urged to attend. An
and instructive program
has been arranged and social hour
provided for, after lunch furnished
to the teachers by the school.
II is to be hoped that the patrons
of every school will see to it that
every teacher in that school has a
way to come to the meeting. The
community will be fully repaid by
the inspiration the teacher gets from
the Association.

Thanksgiving Celebration at Fannin

Although there was an unfavora-
BILE turn in the weather the day be-
fore the program for the ''Grown in
Mississippi celebration at the Fan
min school house On the Goth, was
carried out very pleasantly. Quite a
crowd listened to the hearty words
of welcome from Mr.. Brown and the
inspiring address from the speaker
of the day, Hon. H. L. Whitfield,
president of the Industrial Institute
and College at Columbus. There was
a splendid display of exhibits of
fancy work, knitting and canned
products, besides an unusual show
ing of general farm. products and
live stock from this and neighboring
communities.
A basket ball game in the after
noon and a concert program at night
finished up the day of feasting and
merrymaking. Every one went away
feeling that in spite of the weather,
''alI's we'll that ends WELL"

The Typhoid Fight.

There is a campaign on in Missis-
sipi against the dangerous disease
of typhoid fever, which is killing
scores of people in the state every
year. Typhoid is filth disease, and
is absolutely preventable. Every
person who dies of it dies because
someone is either criminally care
less Or dangerously ignorant.
DR.. H. l.. Crook, health officer for
Kinds county, has drawn up the fol-
lowing simple set of rules, which, if
observed, will reduce the typhoid
cases to a reasonable minimum.
They are:
1. Take the anti-typhoid serum
furnished free at the state laboratory
of the Board of Health.
2. Keep your body and your
home clean.
3. Do not use alcoholic drinks, for
they lower. ones vitality, and give
the typhoid bacteria a better chance
to find lodgment.
4. Always wash your hands be-
fore and after eating.
5. Do not eat at restaurant
which you have cause to believe is
insanitary.
6. Drink only pure milk, and be
certain it is pure.
7. Be careful of your water sup
ply. It must be pure if you would
avoid typhoid.
s. Keep flies >out of your home
and away from your food by careful
screening.
9. Make your privy vaults abso-
lutely fly-proof.
10. Eat only pure, Well-cooked

because we must have more hogs,
SO that the ultimate consumer shall
at all times get an adequate supply
of hogs at the lowest feasible price
We shall establish rigid control of
the packer. Fair prices to the farmer
for his hogs, we believe, will be
brought about by the full control
which the Food Administration has
over the buying of the Allies, our
Army and Navy, the Red Cross. the
Belgian Relief and the neutrals,
which together constitute consid-
siderable factor in the market.
The first step is to stop the sudden
break in prices paid for. hogs at the
central markets. These prices must
become stable so that the farmer
knows where he stands, and will feel
justified in increasing hogs for next
winter. The prices so far as we can
affect them will not go below a min
imum of about $3.50 per hundred
weight for the average of the pack
ers droves on the Chicago market
until further notice.
We have had, and shall have, the
advice of a board composed Of prac-
tical hog growers and experts. That
board advises that the best yardstick
to measure the cost of production OF
the hog is the cost of corn. That
board further advises that the ratio
of corn price to hog price on the
average over a series of years has
been about twelve to one (or a little
less). In the past, when the ratio
has gone lower than twelve to one,
the stock of hogs in the country has
decreased. When it was higher than
twelve. the hogs have increased.
That board has given its judgment
that to bring the stock Of hogs back
to normal under present conditions
the ratio should be about thirteen.
Therefore, as to. the hogs narrowed
next spring, we will try to stabalize
the price so that the farmer can
count on getting for each 100 pounds
of hog ready for market, thirteen
times the average cost per bushel of
the corn fed into the hogs.
/. Let there be no misunderstanding.
1t is not a guarantee backed by
money. 1t is not promise by the
packers. 1t is statement of the in
tention and policy of the Food Ad-
ministration which means to do Jus
tice to the farmer.
