in demand among the boys. One ev.

'I've had a bully time," he said.
"and I want to keep track of you.

This was assured today when, fol-

"sUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

wa remember an old-fashlolleu
,arlor of the long-ago with its 1or-
Kidding horse-hair sofa, ancient pric-
obrac and china; its vases OF wlen-
ered erasses-the mere sight OF whlon
enoendered hay-fever; its curtains
sncrusted with dust and yellowed oy
ace. it's red brussels carpet with an
snormous fleur-de-lis in the center
In the room was marble-top table
.nd on this table were just two books
the Bible and a copy Of Sunshine
and Shadow" Why the name, both
cred us in our youth, when the 'Bl-
HE was sadly neglected, while we
literally roamed through the pages Oh
the latter book, culling much Oh
shadow and little of sunshine. For
Il was one of these "beware-ye" pub
l;cations dealing with city life.
We are inclined to believe that the
lurid tales we read from the pages o1
"sunshine and Shadow" preJudlced
us against city life for all time. MOI
that a little bit Of wickedness was
not appealing; but conditions as pic
tu-ed, were entirely to Machiavellsm'
Nav ,urotections of all kinds safe
guard urban life. The lure is taken
away when the city becomes a nurse
to it's indwellers.
We know at the present time that
conditions were never as bad IN ohe
city as gained by youthful impress
sion. But we are thankful for that
book which early turned US back TO
the country for impressions which
satisfied then and have grown and
developed into a fuller appreciation
of the blessings of the big-out-o1-
doors.
And we believe that more and
more people are finding a fulfllment
of hopes and desires in the country
which the city could never furnish.
There is understanding, and COM
radeship and spiritual blessings with
out number, not to mention health
and pecuniary returns to be found in
rural life. While in the city there
is isolation of spirit and worn bodies
and minds.
Sunshine and Shadow" are now to
be found on the farm. The lure is
all the other way and so are the sub
stantial opportunities. For it is not
to be understood that country life is
wicked; there is just more romance
in it. And since conditions have
been bettered by schools, more mod
ern living arrangements and the
promise of good roads the pull is
strongly for the farm.
The Indianapolis News makes the
following interesting comments:
"The theory so commonly held a
few years ago that the farm home
stead should fall to the least ambi-
tious son, to be managed and ex-
plotted as best he could, has been
largely exploded by the son himself,
who turned out in many cases to be
a better man than the brothers and
sisters who made mothlike descent
upon the bright city. In the wreck
age of this theory can be seen many
thousand good farmers dragging
themselves through futile routine of
city office work. Of course. what
they are doing is useful and neces-
sary, and to the outsider perhaps
quite glittering. The exiled farm boy
in the CITY knows better"

The fact that corn is being
shipped out Of a number Of the
northern counties Of the state
indicates its availability for feed
ing purposes. and the highest
prices secured for corn in these
counties has been where it was
sold through hogs. Tankage is
being used generally over the
state as a supplement TO corn in
the grain ration. Another very
promising feed and one which
the Animal Husbandry Division
at Washington has been making
efforts to bring upon the market
is fish scrap. Ifmade available in
quantity this feed should take
the place of tankage in sections
adjacent to the coast. In the
sou thern part of the state sweet
potatoes can be grown very eco
nomically and can often be har-
vested and marketed very profit
ably with hogs.
The Extension Department of
the Mississippi A and M Col
lege is supervising demonstra-
tions in all parts of the state
along the lines of management,
feeding and breeding. Forage
crop rotations are being pushed
to provide grazing at all seasons. |
The purchase Of hog wire is be-
ing urged as a means toward |
the establishment of pastures
and the greater utilization of
bean and pea fields for the pro-
duction Of pork. Demonstra-
tion5 are also being conducted in
the selection and mating of
breeding stock.
The rapid growth of the swine
industry has been due to several
causes; notably, the introduction
Of improved blood, the adoption
of better methods of feeding
and han ding. and above all to
the realization of the advantages
Of fertile soil and a superior
climate in the production Of
hogs. Assisting in the develop
ment have been the county agri-
cultural agents, the state mar
ket agents, the pig clubs, the
boil weevil, and occasional low
prices received for cotton. &C. |

Hatch Chicks Early

When the time of Matching is
early, the period before cold
weather sets in is longer than il
the chicks were late hatched.
It is during this period of spring,
summer and fall weather that
the chicks should make their
growth and the pullets mature
and get ready to lay eggs. The
earlier the Matching, therefore,
the longer the growing season
for the young stock, and the bet
ter chance they have to make a
full growth and reach maturity
before cold weather sets in. A
long growing season is especially
important with the heavier
breeds which are commonly kept
on the general farms, such as
the Plymouth Rocks, the Wyan-
dOtts, the Rhode Island Reds
and the Orpingtons. Pullets of
these breeds viii require at least
six or seven months in which to
mature and begin laying, and
some individuals will require
longer If the pullets are to
make their growth and com
.mence to lay in the fall. they
must be hatched early. Here in
Mississippi, January, February
and March are the logical
months to hatch chicks to make
fall and winter layers. Harley

VIctory Liberty u an to Pay For
Lives { we'd

The forthcoming Fifth Liberty
Loan viii be called the Victory
Liberty Loan. because it is to
be largely used in paying for
those things which brought
victory to our army so speedily.
National War Loan Director
Lewis B. Franklin, says:
No one was planning on the
Germans quitting in 1918. We
expected to deliver the knockout
punch in 1919. The stage was
set and the properties were
ready. The Germans ia the
front lines had discovered the
unbeatable fighting qualities Of
our men, but the German gener-
al staff was moved to ask for
peace for an additional reason. A
AS a final cure for German
.viciousness in 1919 we had as
.sembled ready for the coming
campaign more than ten tons OF
gas for every ton the Germans
could make; a tank for every
feet of fighting
front; batteries by the thousands,
where we had but one before;
.aeroplanes in the same proper
tions. and millions of grim, de-
termined fighting men ready to
start for Berlin. But this cure
that had been mixed with de
termination in the mortar of
American industry became pre-
vention.
The German general staff
knew more about this cure than
the American officers themselves.
The magnitude of the dose, with
the proved ability Of the men
who were to administer it,
decided the German staff that it
was quitting time, and so it
quit.
BY ending the war in Noyem-
Der. 1918, instead of 1919, more
than half a million American
lives were saved. The coming
Victory Liberty Loan is to pay
for saving these lives, and the
fact that the bill will be heavy is
because the pound of cure be-
came a pound prevention, in
stead of an ounce.
] do not believe we are going
to be troubled with this loan,
when the people come to under
stand what it is for and the
pressing necessity for it. do
not believe that the American
people are going to hold back
and say, The war is over and nv
duty is done, and I have done a
great deal. / believe we
we are going to have the same
kind Of patriotic enthusiasm that
we had in previous Liberty Loan
campaigns, just the same kind
of magnificent response. And |
look for at least 2O,0O0,0O0 sub
seribers to the next loan. We
must let the peopleof the United
States know why there is need
Of a Fifth Loan, what the money
went for and what it did. We
must tell them that it brought
back a half million American
boys, for the most part safe and
sound, instead of leaving them
IN France, sleeping forever on
its hillsides

OkOlOna Is TO Have
a Potato Drying House

Last week we held a series Of
meetings as advertised. They
were we'll attended and great
nterest was manifested. At
(he meeting at the court house
Thursday, Mr.. Robinson made
a very interesting talk to the
farmers and business men in
joint assembly. The importance
Of raising the Nancy Hall potato
was explained as was the neces-
sity Of a drying kiln and the
advantage of having same on
the railroad track.
At this meeting the business
men pledged themselves to take
care of the potato crop if the
farmers would only plant it.
Since then | have received the
following communication from
Mr.. W. A. Ellis which dispels all
doubt as to the certainty of the
project going through.
"Okolona, Miss,

vator.

dpotatoes they will make. Now

pare the land ard / will take

The Hog Industry in
Mississippi Moves Upward

mated at 2, 2S9, 655. In the un.
ion Of states Mississippi ranks
thirteenth in the number
Of hogs. As indicative Of a viii
lingness, in the great national
need, to comply to the fullest
extent with the requests Of the
Food Administration and the
United States Department Of
Agriculture, the farmers and
hog growers of the state made
an increase in the number of
hogs during the past year of a
little over 20 per cent, or 3S7. .655
herd. Since Jan. 1. 1914, hogs
in the state have shown an in
crease of slightly more than 56
per cent.
The number Of hogs shipped
to the st. Louis market from
Mississippi in 1915 was 8,757,
in 1916, SO, 999; in 1917. 88, ,73O;
in 1918, 81, 700. In 1917 there
we're about $4,000 shipped to
New Orleans and Natchez.
These figures but partially
measure the growth Of the swine
industry in the state. The
greater amount of local and
home butchering and the larger
consumption of pork prucuced is
difficult to estimate, as is the
enormous saving Of money that
formerly went outside of the
state for pork products.
Today Mississippi hogs are
selling of the St. Louis market
on a par with those from any
section of the country, and they
are recognized as superior to
those from any of the other
great cotton states. Shippers
from other states have not al
ways been above using the trade
name mississippi Hogs" to in
crease the selling price of
of droves from sections
known to produce soft of inferi-
or pork.
The recent series of pure bred
sales held in this state and the
prices brought by the hogs con-
signed indicate the quality Of
the stock hogs which are being
produced in Mississippi. In the
Pine Crest Sale held at Charles
ton, Miss, January 18th, sol
head averaged $5O1. sc. At the
white sale at Columbia, January
18th, As head averaged S358.88;
while in the Enochs sale at
FernwoOd, January 18th, So
head averaged $672.51.
Due to the mild climate and
long growing season in which to
produce forage, there is no sec
ton of the country where pork
can be produced more ecOnomi-
cally than in Mississippi, and
these features give the state a
marked advantage over sections
not so favored. The large vari-
ETY. of forage and pasture crops,
such as alfalfa, soy beans, pea
nuts, and the various vetches
and clovers, abruzzi rye and
bermuda will supply grazing
throughout the greater part Of
the year. Supplemented with
corn and tankage these crops
produce pork quickly and eco
nomically, making it possible to
place hogs on the market before
the heavy runs from the corn
belt have forced the prices to
the lowest point of the year.
Cottonseed meal and corn are
being used successfully TO finish
hogs grown on peanuts and soy
beans The hogs are put into dry
lots for about 30 days and are
fed a ration of q pounds of
corn and 3 cottons eed meal daily
per 100 pounds live weight, or
have access to self-fee3ers con-
tanning these feeds. This finish
ing period proves profitable both
from the standpoint Of economy
of grain and the degree of finish
attained.
