The extension forces Of the Mis-
sissippi A. and M. college are making
elaborate preparations for 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.
Diversificatfon 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 chief
feature of more and better live stock,
pure bred stock which man can i'll
afford to turn out on open range.
Fencing-good, substantial, permanent
fencing-is therefore very much need
ed. Hundre-s of acres of good for
age and pasture land is only stocked
tc half It's capacity because of the
lack OF fences. This Is a 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. It
Is no longer so plentiful that neigh
bors can keep their herds separated
by distance instead Of by fences.
Good fencing has many advantages
1t will conserve our forage crops.

MORE AND BETTER FENCES

It will increase the number Of nvA
stock in the state.
It will improve the grade Of live
stock.
1t will prevent the loss Of vast
number Of animals yearly.
1t will reduce the help needed to
care for this stock.
1t will materially enhance the value
of 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 start the sale Of wire will
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 a 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.
