Letter of Appreciation
REV. E. N. BaOYLES,
Macon, Miss.
Ny Dear Mr.. Broyles:

Macon, Miss.
My Dear Mr.. Broyles:
The campaign in Noxubue County has
been watched by me with great inter-
est, and | am most appreciative of the
splendid work on the part of yourself
and your associates in the campaign.
Yours is one of the banner counties in
your state, in the amount of oversub-
scriptions in accordance with your
quota, and indeed in per capita distribu-
tion, and | compliment you must highly.
In accordance with our figures
which may or may not be absolutely
correct, your subscribers total SIG 90,
and your sales represent an oversub-
scription of approximately 178 per
per cent. This is a most gratifying
record.
The State of Mississippi, with ar
oversubscription of approximately 1SS
per cent is also to be congratulated.
The Eighth Federal Reserve District
has been advertised throughout the
nation as foremost in the contest fol
supremacy, and l felicitate you or
your part in bringing about this great
measure OF success.
/ realize the great amount of work
which your Organization has put in
perhaps the many difficulties which
YOU had to overcome. 1t has been q
real fight but the people have re-
sponded well, and it is comfortable
feeling to know that national gooc
has come out of the effort.
Yours sincerely,
w. r. COMPTON,
Chairman.

sistant chairmen from each voting pre-

teous manner, accepted the flag for the

graciously accepted the flag, and on be-
half of the Woman's committee, thanked
Mr.. Broyles, county chairman and Mr..
G. W. Cunningham, local chairman, for
their untiring efforts in securing the

The next feature was the auction of
produce, live stock and fancy work.
Mr.. Lon Freeman and MIR. Jno Will
kins acted as auctioneers, assisted by
Messrs. Henry Gay, Leroy Bate, with

Noxubee County Farm Notes
Pure Patriotism

Pure PGtriotism
Thse are times that try mems hearts.
Men and women are responding to their
country's request for money and great
services, Men ard women are even
offering their lives. However, we are
not shrinking from the "acld test.
1t is in humble, laborious service.
To win this struggle we are asked to
go into the field, garden and kitchen
a, d do menial tasks with our own
hands. Is it not honorable? Then dis
honor has come to thousands of Amer
lean citizens who have laid aside wealth
and station for the service that might
come to them. and dishonor has come
to thousands of French women who are
even pulling plows in the fields-pro-
tecting our homes from the Huns, ana
dishonor has come to thousands OF
English women who have taken the
place of husbands, sweethearts and
brothers.
There is little doubt but that the peo-
ple of Noxubee County will always go
over the top" when giving her money
and sons for battle. but will she still go
over as the conflict stiffens, labor is
called away and the cry comes Tor
more food? In this war there are
three uniforms aprons, overalls and
khaki; we may wear either with honor,
: or either with dishonor.
Vaccinate for Black Leg
Many farmers have suffered severe
from neglecting to treat their calves-4
months to years old-for black leg.
This has come from neglect wholly, as
few even question the value OF the
treatment which is very simple! Even
the loss of one animal will repay
the trouble for a year. ANY good
druggist handles the vaccine. A new
double treatment has lately originated,
which is promising of good results.
Surplus Cow Peas
There is surplus of COW peas in the
country. The market is very low
about 81 per bushel. They are worth
too much Ms feed to sell at that price.
bu. corn has 4,26 lbs. protein.
| bu. peas has 1908 lbs. protein.
That is the peas could be used to
supplement the corn Spr feeding hogs
J ual;ing a better saianced ratio !, feed
| ing about fourth ration of peas.
Or better still more extensive seed
ing of peas in corn, cotton, and un-
planted ground would be advisable. A
bushel of peas should give at least a
ton of peas-fxing at least 80 lbs,
nitrogen from the air. gain in soil
fertility. At pre-war prices this would
cost 20 cts. per pound or amount to
$500.
On sandy soils crop of peas plowed
down and 300 lbs. acid phosphate cost
ing about 800 should add 10 bu. to a
|, wheat crop for 1919. 1t should add 1O
bu. to a wheat crop on prairie soils
without the phosphate.
To the Club Members
Watch your pig for lice. Most hogs
are very badly infected from lice.
Lice suck blood and keeps the pig un-
thrifty. Kill lice with Kreso dip.
Now is the time to keep weeds out
of your corn. They take moisture and
plant food from your corn.
