A TIP ON

A famous authority on advertising
IN all its phases, Mr.. Chas. Austin
Bates, of New York, says: "a
great deal more than half of the
money you spend for advertising
should be with the newspapers.
Through no other medium can
you ak to so many people for so lit
tie money. Everybody reads the pa
pers, and pretty nearly everybody
who reads the papers in which your
ads appear will read your ads if YOU
make them attractive and worth read
ing Along further he saws:
Some of the most successful bust
ness men in the United States are pa
tent medicine manufacturers. Their
successes are due to newspaper ad-
vertising mor than to any other
thing. They use circulars, booklets
and almanacs, to be sure, but only
as supplementary features. Every
druggist knows d good deal about the
great patent medicine concerns. some
of which grew from small retail drug
and they ought to be big, in
obiect-lessons to them" The
moral of the above is that it paws to
advertise" and The Sentinel is at all
ready and willing to cooperate
with the local merchants and bust
ness men and help and assist them in
ne preparation of their advertising
matter.

MISSISSIPPI STEERS SOLD y
FOR .CO-NEW RECORD
A. & M. College Steers Sell at High
est Mark Ever Realized For -,
Mississippi Cattle.

A sale today of $11.0O Mississipp,
steers sets a new high mark for cat.
tie from that state. The consign.
ment included two loads, one consist.
ing of % head averaging 1870
pounds brought $11.00 and % steers
weighing $50 pounds sold for 50 rs,
The entire consignment went to Nor
ris & Co.
The cattle were fed by the A. &
NJ. College, located at Starkville.
Miss. Prof. f. R. Lloyd is director
at the College and W. X. Gayle. ami
nal husbandry man, fed the cattle.
Mr.. Gayle accompanied the shipment.
They were just well bred steers
that we picked up through our sec
ton. They were mixed Herefords.
Shorthorns and Angus and e
steer was native Mississippi born ami
mails stated Mr.. Gayle to a repre-
sentative of the Reporter.
The steers were fed since the lat
ter part of October. The $11.OO cat
tie were given four pounds of cotton
seed meal, II pounds of ear corn and
all the corn silage they would clean
up. This string gained 21O pounds.
the 1910 Dunch were led slightly diff
%ferent, being fed on a ration of six
pounds of c%ottonseed meal, and sill
age said Mr.. Gayle.
The feeding was done in a little
different manner than the usual SOU
thern routine of feeding. The corn
was used to demonstrate to southern
feedres and planters that they have a
market for the grain through the at
tie and are in a good position to make
money on their product at any stage
OF the game, and not dependent en-
tirely on cotton.
Another object the college had in
mind in the feeding of these cattle
was to prove to southern r~aisers that
the actual feeding of their cattle can
be done with greater profit than by
selling them as stockers to the north
ern buyers.-National Live Stock

Good Seed Going to Be
Scarce by Planting Time.

Farmers who wait until planting
time to buy their seed will have tc
puy left over cottonseed or take oil
mill seed, which in the long run is
the most expensive planting seed that
can be bought, due to the poor DUAL.
lty resulting in decreased yields.
IN making this statement to Mis-
sisslppl farmers, Director E. R. Lloyd,
OF the Mississippi A. & NJ. College
experiment Station and Extension
work, said: Last fall was the first
Tune In my experience when calls be-
gan to come in for seed before the
harvest was owe To keep from be-
ing caught short of good seed farm
ers must get after them now. Wher-
ever possible they should buy from
a recognized grower. When this can
not be don order from reliable seed
houses, many of which were far sight
ed enough to buy up good seed dur
ing the fall"
In this connection Director Lldyd
announces that while the college is
being swamped with orders for seed.
1t 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 Direc-
tor r. S. Wilson, and J. R. Kicks.
station agronomist. Many county
agents foreseeing this scarcity have
taken steps to conserve the seed in
their counties.
The leaders recommend the use of
standard varieties of corn, as Mos
by, Hastings, Coke 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 varieties
and the yield is too low to justify its
use. Of cotton the best varieties
for average Mississippi conditions are
Wannamaker's Cleveland, Cleveland
Big Boil, and Dodd's Prolific.

tai. These waters are held back by the
second largest dam in the world and are
used for irrigating the land thirty miles
down the mountains. Our party went I'm
to the dam in automobiles. and there took
a gasoline launch and sailed about ten
miles up the lake. where we camped and
caught as many trout as we could eat and
then we packed in ice a nice boz to carry
home with us. In this party of fishers
were several real estate men. One of them
told me of his experience with some of the
fertile lands of good old Miss. A Missis-
slppian ever loyal to his country was going
over some of these lands showing some of
the high watermarks. They came to some
trees about five feet high which had been
submerged. Now this shows the high
water mark. We went on up tor mavbe
down. the river and came to some trees
ten feet high. the tops of them looking
muddy and dirty. The loyal Mississipnian
ever ready to drop a word of announcement
to emigrants, said, This is where the hogs
have been rubbing themselves after wallow-
ing in the bog" l guess the real estate
man invested where hogs grow to that
height.

spent listening to a Sunday School lecturer

to a Christian life was: A

was placed around it TO check the outer
