of the State Penitentiary and
with the Pardon Board only
| Three Hundred and Eighteen
have been turned out of the Pen
itenliary, which makes differ
ence of about Seven Hundred.
These Seven Hundred were
either turned out because a
proper hearing and investigation
could not be made by the Gov
ernor being busy with other af-
fairs of State, or they were
granted as a result of political
pressure and obligations.
The Pardon Board cost only
Twelve Hundred and Fifty Dol
lars a year and the services of
two men kept in the Penitentiary
are worth at least this much to
the State; in other words, by the
misuse of the Pardoning Power
the State lost upon its farms dur
ing the four years just before the
Pardon Board was established,
the services of nearly Seven
Hundred convicts which, in dol
lars and cents. would amount TO
about Fifty Thousand Dollars
per year. Therefore. from a
financial standpoint the Pardon
Board has saved the State at
least Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars, while il cost only Twelve
Hundred and Fifty Dollars q
year,
The greatest saving to the
State, however, is stopping the
abuse of the Pardoning Power
and thereby causing the people
to have more wholesome re-
spect for the majesty, dignity and
enforcement of their laws, the
general elevation of society and
the guarantee of law and order
among the people of Mississippi.
Another great advantage of
the Pardon Board is that ii saves
at least half of the Governors
time which can be devoted to
the greater problems of peace.
progress and development of the
State with all its interest. Any
Governor who wants the Par
doning Power and knows any,
thing about it must be either a |
fool or a crook.
The objection that the Pardon
Board can only recommend is
not well founded for the reason
hat all Pardon Boards in nearly |
All the States Of the Union have

Cattle ticks innumerable have in
tested this country and made the
life of the ambitious cattleman a
burden while for the poor cattle, no
human can even describe their bodi-
ly sufferings. The problem of elm
mating the pestiferous tick seemed
to be too strong for solving. Along
came the experts, "doped-out" the
dipping business and with its perfect
ing away went the tick. With its
practical application throughout the
South, hundreds of thousands of
miles of once, quarantined territory
has been released and cattle, once
speckIed with ticks, are now smooth
and free of the parasite and are
growing in size and flesh daily. The
dipping has solved the problem and
with its solving the South, and es-
pecially Louisiana, is bound to be-
come the greatest meat producing

common sense have done much to-
wards attaining this end, and the
activities of men and the smooth
running future can and will bring
harvest of wealth from this long
neglected branch of farming.

CANNING CLUB GIRL

A canning club girl in Sabine

the annual short course which was
held at the Louisiana State Uni
versity in August for members of
agricultural clubs: "Our agent,
Mrs. Stille, took four girls from
Sabine parish to Baton Rouge to
attend the short course.
Upon arriving there, we went up
to. the university and got assigned
to rooms and also to classes. We
have been enthusiastic club men,

TO be sure the cotton production
this year is short-very short. In
fact, there is hardly third of the
normal production, and within few
days of seasonable weather there
will not be another lock Of the
staple left in the fields to be picked;
All this may be disappointing and
has worked hardship on many far
mers who have been accustomed
the past few years to possessing
"money to burn" this season of the
year.
But in every cloud there is rift,
a silver lining, and the same thing
will hold good in the matter Of
crop production in old st. Landry
this year. Cotton is undoubtedly
short. Corn has been some what
damaged but the production is not
altogether disappointing. Sugar cane
is fairly good and therell be lots
of ''long sweetening" this coming
year. The hay crop is a heavy one
but weather conditions delayed far
mers very much in harvesting it and
some viii lost. We believe and we
hope, however, that enough will be
saved to supply work teams and
stock with dry forage the winter
and in 1920. Sweet potatoes
are immense and if the next few
weeks prove to be dry the yield will
go long way toward making up for
the great amount of cash lost in
the cotton crop. For be it known
that Eaters are getting to be some

fit only for kids, cattle and hogs. Of
course many grown-ups eat the roots
but when it came down to COM
mercial PROFESSIONALLY that was
all a Joke and not even the wisest
of the wise ever dared to put in
words such a far-fetched dream that
the day was coming when Eaters
would bring a handsome price on
the market and there would be an
ever increasing demand for them.
Every state in the entire south is
producing larger and larger crops
of sweet potatoes each year and
millions of bushels are being shipped
north each season. Once the des-
pissed potato could be bought for
a song and the buyer could sing
the song himself. That is thing of
the forgotten past and today it
takes a man of some bank account
to buy the roots by the barrel or
even bushel. This year the demand
is even greater than ever and the
price has been advanced until it is
out of the question for a fellow to
think about buying them on large
scale for home consumption and
the kids, who used to eat the Eaters
in great quantities because they
were cheap, have to curb their thun-
drous appetites Tor dad can not af-
ford to buy in such large quantities
as he did when a measly dollar was
considered high price for the roots.
And then there is that awful pro
duction of rice grown throughout
the state this year. The acreage is
the greatest ever planted and the
yield has been simply phenomenal,
