Short Talks on Thrift.


tG. T. Howertou. Miss. A. q n. College,,
In the far west was a new town;
this was not unusual. In this town
a widow and her daughter kept a
boarding house. At this boarding
house some two score of young men
took their meals. Among these fell
lows was the agent for the railroad.
This young fellow was a natural
leader and his suggestions were usu-
ally followed. One day he remark.
ed to the boys that it would be a
nice thing to make the widows
daughter a present. He therefore
suggested that the very best present
would be some cash. The time for
this display of generosity was set for
the next day at dinner. The young
agent started the plate around and
dropped on it $50 gold piece. This
made all the boys open their eyes
and do their very best for the col
lection. The sum taken up was
5000. In less than two months Jim
Hill married the daughter. In this
he showed his good business sense
in more ways than one. He not
only got the boys money but he
married the woman who was life to
his successful business career. So
long as j. J. Hill lived this woman
cooked his meals with her own hand.
She was not only the wife of her
husband but the mother of his for
tune. Any man can make money,
but it takes two to save it, and one
of these must be his wife, Any boy
can make some money, but he needs
a mother to help him save it. The
families are no thriftier than the
wife and mother. 1t is said that the
women spend so per cent. of all
money spent. They must therefore
save large part of what is saved.
If our mothers and wives are not
saving and thrifty. our State will
never be so.

Good Seed Going to Be Scarce
by Planting Time.

Miss A. & NJ. College T.. r. Lloyd Director
Farmers who wait until planting
time to buy their seed will have to
buy left over cotton seed or take oil
mill seed, which in the long run, is
the most expensive planting seed
that can be bought. due to the poor
quality resulting in decreased yields.
In making this statement te Mis-
sissippi farmers Director E. r. Lloyd
of the Mississippi A. & M. College
Experiment Station and ExtentiOn
Work. said: Last fall was the first
time in my experience when calls
began to come in for seed before the
harvest was over. To keep from be-
ing caught short of good seed farm
ers must get after them now. When
ever possible they should buy from
a recognized grower. When this can
not be done order from reliable seed
houses, many of which were far
sighted enough to buy up good seed
during the fall"
In this connection Director Lloyd
announces that while the college is
being swamped with orders for seed
it has no field seed of any kind to
sell.
This prophecy of an extreme scar
city OF seed. especially in counties
having no county agents is backed
up by State agent and assistant di-
rector r. S. Wilson and ]. r. Ricks
station agronomist. Many county
agents forseeing this scarcity have
taken steps to conserve the seed in
their counties.
These leaders recomend the use Of
standard varieties OF corn, as Mosby,
Hastings, Cox's Prolific. and Ten
nessee Red Cob. The small early
yellow corn is not recommended for
field use as it is only about three
weeks ahead Of the standard yarie-
ties and the yield is too low to JUS
tify its use. OF cotton the best va
rieties for average Mississippi con-
ditions are Wannamaker's Cleve-
land. Cleveland Big Boil and Dodd,s
Prolific.

One Days Work On 4 Country
Schoolhouse.

By Roswell w. Rogers. b. g.. A. M
It took just one day of eight hours
according to the United States Bu-
reau of Education. to transform a
Tennessee rural school house that
was in a bad condition into build
ing of which any community would
be proud. What was accomplished
in this instance by community CO.
operation could be carried out eff
fectively by any county superintend-
ent, teacher or school Improvements
association. A band of teachers and
patrons marched out to the Neil
school in McMinn county early in
the morning to begin operations. An
official photographer was taken
along; he made photographs of the
school grounds and building and the
interior at 8 a. M, before the work
began. and again at p. M, when
the days work was completed. The
before" and after" pictures made
it looks as if miracle had taken
place. The building at 8 a. m. was
in as disreputable condition as it
could be and still be used for school
purposes. The workers were armed
with shovels, hoes. axes, carpenters
tools, paint, whitewash and soap.
They nailed on new boards where
they were needed, painted the build
ing, built chimney, cleaned up the
rubbish, scrubbed the floor, reno
yated the entire interior, construct
ed bookcase for the teacher, tinted
the walls a pearl gray color and
hung pictures. The old desks were
removed and new ones supplied by
the school district. were placed in
the building. =.
The outlay. aggregated in cash,
$33. 1t included IL gallons of paint,
nSc SdllOilS VI IluSccu OIl, AOOI paint
brushes, One-half bushel of lime, So
= ~ 4 weather boarding and lath-
ing,A 20 pounds of nails. four win
dow shades, material for sash cur
tains, four pictures. number OF
books to start a school library and
one American flag. When the work
was completed the building present
ed as attractive an appearance as
the best one room country schools.
One of the most delightful features
of the day was the social enjoyment
that resulted from the gathering-to-
gether of such large group of work.
ers, at noon a picnic dinner was
served by people in the neighbor-
hood of the school
How many communities in Miss
issippi could not accomplish this
much? 1t is suggested that the
Mothers Club of the community de-
it's value by showing how
quickly it can get results equal to
that of the above community.

The passage of the flood control
bill places the United States
government at least in the atti.
tude Of a national protector of the
people who live in the part of oul
country drained by the national
river, the Mississippi. Heretofore
the improvement has been without q
general plan. and much money has
been wasted. Argument has pre-
vailed, and latter a campaign ol
nearly seventy years." as the New
Orleans Times-Picayune puts it,
Congress has consented to protect
the lower country from the twenty
three states above that pour their
drainage into the Mississippi and
against which the lower river cannot
financially prevail. The Times
Picayune says:
The bill will prevent the heavy
losses from which the country
has suffered in the past through
floods. and will aid the whole
people by opening to cultivation
millions of acres of the most fer
tile and productive regions in
the world, will add millions to
our crops and will thus help to
prevent the conditions of food
scarcity from which America
and the rest of the word have
recently suffered SO seriously"
The bill apprOpriates $45 900, 900
of which uot more than ten millions
is to be spent in any one year; and
none Of it to be used for construc-
tion and repair of levees unless the
protected local interests Estates,
countries or communities) contrib
ute a snm equal to one-half the
amount allotted by the commission.
No doubt is entertained of the will
ingness of these interests to bear tbs
much of the burden.
Little, if anything. is said about
the probable effect upon NAVIGATION.
but that is an important feature.
particularly since the efforts making
to reinstate through traffic by water
between st. Louis and New Orleans.
Any flood control system must pro-
viz xnifnrsn and continuous levees
ia restrain the flood waters. Hence
there Is : prospect that the waters of
the Mississippi will for the first time
be confined and made to scour a
channel throughout its length. in
stead of spreading as they now are
allowed to do at a number of points
and creating bars that impede nav
igation.
There is widely accepted theory
that the higher the levees are built,
the higher is the bottom of the river,
and that the higher the bottom the
higher the rise of the flood; and so
there must be still higher levees; fol-
lowed by still higher bottom and still
higher flood; and so on ad infinitum.
But, it is answered this is because the
levee system is not complete. Let
the waters be held in at all points.
and they will have the tendency to
cut . deep passage; and the leyees
can be lessened in height in course
of time. Whether this answer is
correct or not, we are not able to say.
but it will have a test when the flood
control scheme now adopted by con-
gress is put into effect.-Mobile
