made that the cows running al
large be put in pastures and the
idle lots put under cultivation
without fencing them. This
suggestion did not appeal 10 the
public generally, especially the
owners of cows, and practically
nothing resulted from the agita-
ton for war gardens.
We have n number of citizens,
companies and corporations own
ing considerable property in and
around our town; this property
including many vacant lots
which have been unfenccd for
many years, growing up in
weeds, bushes, etc, presenting
a very unsightly appearance.
Many of the citizens, especially
Office men who are married, have
time To spare in the mornings
and evenings, but have no va
cant space to put out war gar
dens; they would prefer TO en-
ploy their spare time in This
good work, but il is necessary
they secure more vacant space,
especially near their home. 10

waste of land, in order to help
the Government in time of need.
1t can be truthfully said that

SPANISH FLU"
PASS The CRISIS
In WATER VALLEY

Out Of over 1900 cases of Spanish
influenza reported in the city of
Water Valley only six deaths to date
are attributable to the disease The
city doctors have worked faithfully
night and day and the remarkably low
death rate speaks volumes in favor
of their skill and the constant and
efficient service rendered the public
during the ravages of the epidemic.
The disease seemed to have reach
ed its crest or high state about Sun
day and has been gradually abating
or running out" every day since.
The men who were first stricken are
beginning to return to their work at
the |. c. shops, the Yoeona Mills have
again begun operation, and there is
a general improvement in conditions
all over the city. If the public will
continue to exercise due caution and
care it is hoped to wipe the disease
out entirely within the next 10 days.

WATER VALLEY FAIR
PRIZE WINNERS
And CONTRIBUTORS

Although there was only about two
weeks announcement the community
fair here on Oct. was quite a sue
cess. In fact it surpassed the reason
able expectations of the County
Agents as well as the people of
Water Valley and the surrounding
community.
Their were on exhibition % differ
ent agricultural products including
several of the importory clovers. The
display of alfalfa attracted quite a
bit of interest. This was grown on
Mr.. j. R. Sissel's, place in south
western part of town by Mr. "A.
Crocker, The piece of ground on
which this was grown was planted 7
years ago, and today has almost a
perfect stand.
There was fine display of sorghum
and its products. The exhibit of the
various varities of field peas, velvet
beans and soy beans was especially
BoVN diiN ShoWo Juot WHaC Soou 1Ol az =
crops can be grown here.
There was quite variety of fruits
shown, both fresh and canned, which
shows mat the folks are all thorough
believers in the home orchard propo-
sition. In order for the people to
become acquainted with disease of
peaches there were shown several
brown rot peaches (mummies, as they
are called.) These were collected
from an orchard clinging to the trees
the day before the fair. These
mummy peaches can be found n al
most every orchard in the county that
has not been sprayed for the disease.
The exhibit of vegetables only
shows that the people are complying
with the wishes of the War Depart
ment in having war gardens. There
was shown either fresh, canned or
dried nearly every vegetable that can
be grown in this section.
There were more than 70 head of
fine hogs shown, most of which were
registered or subject to registration
and all first class specimens of their
respective breeds. Hardly anyone
knew. that there were so many nice
hogs in the community. Quite few
of these were hogs that The Peoples
Bank had bought and sold. to- the
farmers and their boys to encourage
hog raising. The Elks Club has
done its bit in encouraging hog rails
ing. There were several good mich
cows and young mule colts on hand
also.
In spite of the fact that the peo-
pie had but a few days to prepare
for an exhibit of any kind the col
lections of everything did credit to
Water Valley and it is proof sufficient
that the people are prepared for liv-
ing at home and that they do not
have to depend on having this food
shipped in from other points.
Mrs. Woods, Miss Mary Agnes
Carter, Supt. J. r. Hodnett and Cir
cult Clerk, Wallace Young rendered
valuable assistance to the County
Agents in preparing for the fair.
Everybody seemed well pleased
with the days results and several
have expressed themselves in favor
of fair here next fall. So the thing
to do is to begin now for next year
for there is sure to be one. Every
body wants it. There Is no better
way for the farmers to show and ad-
vertise their stock and farm products
than at fairs. The club boys and
