Protect the Birds.

Now that the Mississippi Supreme
Court has declared the Richardson
game law unconstitutional, lot of
folks are taking it for granted that
we have no game laws at all, and
are engaging in wanton slaughter of
birds of all kinds.
As matter of fact, the game laws
on the statute books prior to the 1915
session of the Legislature are still in
full force and effect, and ought to be
faithfully observed by all citizens.
An illustration of this wanton
slaughter is shown i'm the killing of
robins around here. This is the sea-
son Of the year when both robins and
black birds make their appearance
here, and the former are very much in
evidence. They are the first heralds
of spring, and, as every farmer
knows, their work is most beneficial.
They eat all sorts of bugs and worms
that come out in later winter and
early spring to feed on vegetation.
They are worth real money to farm
ers and townsfolk as we'll
And yet there are some people,
who. with gun in hand, will 60 out
and kill robins and consider it
SPORT. What kind of mind is it
that finds sport, in the murder of
an innocent and beautiful bird that
does a great deal of good in the
world? What kind of nature is it
that finds such a practice entertain
ing?
The killing of robins is against the
law. If you see a man killing rob-
ms tell him that it is against the
law. If he does not stop. then re-
port him to the authorities. You
will have doIe a good service to the
community by reporting such an in
dividual to the proper authorities,
Kill robins is not only against the
law, but an economic wrong against
the community And more, too it
is moral wrong for the robin has
its right to live just as you have your
right to live'-Jackson Daily News.

by which exhaustion may result;
also avoid extremes Of heat and cold.
One should get plenty of fresh air,
avoid crowded and over-heated

number of cases and deaths, 1t is
on the increase, for 1915 showed
only 1,489 deaths in the. State,
against 1853 for 1916.
Since pneumonia is known to be
transmissible, the use of the COM

ease. The common dipper in the

vented largely by the prudence of
the individual and every means
should be used for the prevention of
ordinary colds. bronchial affections.

Fourteen thousand nine hundred
acres of lespedeza were planted on
1852 Mississippi farms under the d.
rection of county agents last spring.
This was an increase of almost 800
per cent. over the 1915 crop, which
amounted to 5.O92 acres. The aver
age yield was 2.77 tons to the acre,
valued at $2O.41 ton.
Red clover is coming into popu-
lar favor among the farmers of Mis-
sissippi, statistics from eighteen
farms showing 1889 acres planted
this winter. as compared with 1854
acres last winter. The 1915 crop
yielded an average of LIS tons an
acre, with a grazing value of $11.24
a ton.
Wheat is beginning to take a
prominent part in Investigation in
Mississippi, 80 farmers having grown
S35 acres under the direction of
county agents. with yield of about
u bushels to the acre last summer.
That 222 farmers cooperating
with county agents raised G, 1863 acres
of oats with an average yield of 80. s.
bushels an acre, shows that this crop
is coming into it's own not only as a
forage crop, but as a cash crop SUBJ
stitute for cotton.
To improve the livestock crop of
the state, "a jacks, Is pure bred
stations and 1877 brood mares were
imported in 1916 as a result of the
advice of county agents. 81
Following the advice of the county
demonstrators, the farmers of the
State imported last yeor so pure
bred bulls ard PIT cows and heifers

in the beef cattle industry

ROOT CROPS IN CELLAR

F5 & - - X
Root crops may be kept indefinitely
in the home cellar by packing in earth.
a stout box, placed in the cellar where
the light does not fall directly upon it
makes an excellent receptacle. In
this box layer of earth several inches
deep is placed. SIS
The vegetables are then arranged in
rows, the alternate rows in the same
direction. Each row is covered with !
thin layer Of earth, and a space Of two
inches entirely around the box between
the boards and the vegetables, is filed
with earth.
Root crops have been kept in this
manner as late as the first Of April
without any deterioration.

awaited them. The tables were pro-
fusely decorated with roses, ferns and
smilax and in the center of the head
table was an enormous wedding cake.
Silver candelabras with golden candles
helped to heighten the effect.
A. J. Alvin, an .erstwhile neiehbor of
the, Pennings, acted as master of cere-
monies and certainly acquitted himself
in a most admirable manner. He paid
the Pennings glowing tribute for their
admirable qualities of man and woman
hood, their neighborliness and their I'M
swerving loyalty to their friends. He
drew on his imagination and ted of
the counting days of the venerable
couple and did it so effectively that every
one present including the jubilarians
themselves felt that Alvin had been
an eye witness to their love-making.
Mr.. Alvin also recited several poems
which made hit: Mrs. L. G. Bell
recited beautiful poem appropriate to
the occasion and there were songs by
the Cloverleaf trio and by the entire
assemblage. There were also short talks
by, Miss Payne, LIE Roy V. Alvin and
Capt. Albert Steinhauser. All Of the
remarks were highly complimentary to
the jubilarians.
After the party had returned to the
lounging room there was another song
by the quartette and solo by Mrs.

written for the occasion. After a few
more songs had been sung by the as
