lack Of firmness in dealing with fooC

STEEL FENCE AND LIGHTNING.

National Crop Improvement Service;l
In the summer time when the thun.
der caps appear In the sky and the
storm sweeps down on the farm, the
farmer thinks less of his safety than
he does of his live stock.
When the stock Is In the field during
the storm, it may happen that the
animals drift against the wire fence
which may be heavily charged with
electricity and are shocked to death.
The ordinary fence built on wooden
posts should be grounded every sixth
post. TO "ground the fence" means
to twist a piece of wire six, or eight
feet long around all of the line wires
of the fence and then dig hole in the
ground near the post and bury the
other end of the wire. The hole should
be dug deep enough so that the wire
comes in contact with moist EARTH
A fence so grounded, offers no danger
to live stock during the thunderstorm.
The wire fence built on galvanized
steel fence posts is already grounded
at every post and no thunderstorm with
It's discharge of lightning can injure
the cattle inclosed by such fence.

BURNING OUT WEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Dirty fence corners and fence lines
are the spots from which weeds are
distributed over the farm. Cleaning
the corners by hand, pulling the weeds,
takes care of the corners, but the ex-
tensive fence lines cannot be handled
in this way.
Anyone who has tried cleaning fence
lines erected on wooden posts, by
burning, knows the danger and anxi-
ETY. of the work. However, when the
fence has steel posts, there is little
danger in burning.
To burn a fence line select day
when the wind is blowing across the
line, and fire the vegetation when dry,
from the windward side.
If there Is large accretion Of dead
vegetation along the line the fire will
be very hot and may damage the wire,
10 remove any brush heaps, etc. be-
fore burning. The burning Of the ac'
emulation of one years growth will
not injure the wire.

E National Crop Improvement service.1
The extension forces of the Mis-.
sisslppi A. and NJ. college are making
elaborate preparations for a statewide
campaign to urge farmers to build
more and better fences.
More and more people are coming to
realize the value of live stock In con-
nection with their systems Of farming.
Diversiication is being preached by
every advocate of better farming. Daily
newspapers, county papers, farm pa
pers and agricultural magazines are
filled with advice, all making q CHIEF
feature of more and better live stock,
pure bred stock which q man can i'll
afford to turn out on open range.
Fencing-good, substantial, permanent
fencing-is therefore very much need
ed. Hundre..s ..s Of acres of good for
age and pasture land is only stocked
tc half its capacity because Of the
lack of fences. This is great waste
of feed. The roughage which keeps
our live stock nine or ten months of
the year is an important item and de.
serves better attention than that. 1t
is no longer so plentiful that neigh
bors can keep their herds separated
by distance instead Of by fences.
Good fencing has many advantages
It will conserve our forage crops.
The Era-leader., 1919-10-30
MORE AND BETTER FENCES

It will Increase the number Of I've
stock in the state.
It will improve the grade Of live
stock.
Il will prevent the loss Of a vast
number of animals yearly.
It will reduce the help needed to
care for this stock.
It will materially enhance the value
Ok lands fenced.
The drive for fences has been ap-
proved by the Retail Hardware and
Implement association Of Mississippi
and local dealers in nearly all coun'
ties have agreed to order carload lots
Of fencing during the week of the cam
paign at practically cost. Once fenc'
ing gets a start the sale OF wire VIII
continue. The county agents and spe'
cialists of the extension force will
canvass the state early; in the interest
of this drive.
Three or four types Of fence WILL
be presented to people for their choice
which will in many cases be deter"
mined by the cost. From these types
the fence needs of every farmer in the
state should be set and at figure
most nearly TO suit his finances. Types
of post, such as creosoted, concrete
and steel, will also be considered as
against plain posts which rot out In
brief period of years.
We predict many hundreds Of miles
of fence as result Of this drive.

POET INDICTED ON
TREASON CHARGE
FOR AIDING HUN

New York, Jan Sherman
Scheffauer, poet and author, a ma
tive of San Francisco, born of Ger
man parents, was indicted yester-
day by the federal grand jury for
treason.
He is accused of having aided the
cause of Germany against the Unit
ID States while in Berlin by writ
ing articles for the Continental
Times, a newspaper published by
the German government propagan-
da bureau.
"Dear "" Letter Evidence.
The Indictment says his activi-
ties in behalf of Germany and
against the United States were con-
tinuous from the date his country
entered the war until the armistice
was signed AS an overt act the
Indictment mentions an open letter
addressed MY Dear "" and signed
by Scheffauer with his pen name,
'Sagittarius," and articles entitled
THE Serfdom of America" and
Speak Out, Germany"
The open letter to My Dear w."
which, it is alleged, he caused to be
printed in the Continental Times
on Dec. 81, 1917, reads in part:
You say that l turned upon a
country to which 1 professed allie
glance in favor of country now
its deadly enemy. 1 have never
2rofessed allegiance to any coun-
try. To England 1 owe none. To
America, as a born citizen, l owed
it only according to. the dictates
OF my conscience. oppose the pol
icy of America now-or that of the
powers which have my unfortunate
country in thrall-as have always
opposed the English policy which
dictated it, because l knew it to be
hopelessly, damnably wrong"
Now in Berlin.
In furtherance of the propaganda,
the indictment explains, Scheffauer
aided in the distribution of the Con-
tinental Times from Germany into
France and the United States with
the purpose of weakening the NOR
ale of soldiers and sailors. Schef-
fauer is said to be now in Berlin.
Papers containing the alleged
reasonable articles for which he
was indicted were dropped by Ger
man airmen from balloons and
planes over the allied lines and in
France, and were smuggled in Sc
cret ways into the country, it is
charged.
