NEGRO WORKMEN GET $l75
WEEKLY FROM GOVERNMENT
President Ferguson, of Newport News
Shipyard, Tells of Waste in
Daily Ship Building.

CHICAGO, April 26.-Importance
of the American merchant marine in
the development of the export bust
ness of the country was discussed
today by speakers at the sixth ma
tional foreign trade convention.
Homer L. Ferguson, president of
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
DrydOck company, referred to the
huge sum expended by the govern
ment in shipbuilding during the war
as result of lack of preparedness.
He said the total already has reach
ed $4,0OO,0O0,OOO. The value of the
entire sea-going shipping of the
world, he said, does not exceed ST.
000,000,000.
He criticised the war wage sched-
ules which the government imposed
upon shipbuilders and said that to-
day there are negro workmen in his
plant drawing SITS a week wages.

GRAIN OF WESTERN FARMERS
WORTH MANY MILLION DOLLARS
Government Must Pay Huge Sum to
Farmers on Price Guarantee for
Big Wheat Crop.

The government will pay farmers
millions of dollars to keep up the
guaranteed price of 1925 a bushel
on the winter and spring wheat crops,
according to reports from Washing
ton.
Announcement that the winter crop
will reach 837,00O,00O bushels has
started speculation on the cost to the
government. The winter crop will be
worth 1851, 100000.
Government officials believe there
will be a big foreign demand to take
care of the country's surplus.

MOSQUITOES ARE
VERY DANGEROUS
THEY GIVE YOU MALARIA, BUT
WILLIAMS NO. 1O1 TONIC
TAKES 1T AWAY.

Billions of mosquitoes will come
this spring from the low, marshy
places which were watered by the
torrential rains in March. Fifty years
ago these pesky "varmints" were
looked upon as a nuisance only. But
in recent years scientists have found
that they transmit malaria-and that
it is transmitted in no other way
Williams No. 101 Tonic is a recog-
nized specific for treating malaria
and is being used extensively and
successfully in the malarial sections.
1t contains Quinine, which is deadly
to the malarial germ; also Iron, which
strengthens and invigorates the body,
and Magnesia, which keeps the bow
els regular and healthy. 1t is a good
general tonic and a bottle of it should
be in every home in malarial dis
trict. Get a bottle from your drug
gist. Refuse to accept any substitute.
There is no other medicine like it.

WARNING AGAINST FAKE
FRUIT TREE PEODLERS

Practically every summer 1t
becomes necessary for US to warn
the people against the unscrupu-
lOus methods employed ba a GER
tain class Of itinerant fruit tree
agents.
The most conspicuous fake
practiced it that where AN agent
takes farmers order for trees
charging him fifty cents to a dol
lar q piece for the trees and pro-
posingato prune and spray them
for a period of three years. So
far as the writer knows, nurser-
les which agree to do this thing
have never in a single instance
fulfilled their obligstions.. In
other words, what hal pens is
that these people get about three
prices for their trees, deliver the
trees to the farmer and are never
heard of again. 1t is difficult to
single ont just what nurseries are
practlcing this sort Of business
because 30 many of this type of
nurseries operate under one name
this year and next year under a
different name so as to avoid
having their crookedness exposed
It is surprising how many people
will intrust their orders with
such men, paying several prices
for their fruit trees without once
stopping to investigate the relia-
bility of the company. These
fake agents are operating in Mis-
sissippi today and have been OPP
erating for the past two months.
Our advice to any farmer who
has already given his order to
such an agent, is to Immediately
countermand that order. The
farmers neat step is to get in
touch with his County Agent at
his county seat or with the Elk.

AMERICAN COTTON
ASSOCIATION IS.
SUES NOTICE ON
COTTON

Atlantic, Georgia, August --
eve earnestly urge that the cot
ton farmers and the holders of
cotton be not stampeded by pro-
paganda now beiug issued by
bear spectators and parties who
desire to buy cheap cotton, but
that they stand steady and refuse
to sell their staples at present
prices," the executive commit
ee Of the American Cotton Asso-
citation says in statement issu-
ed at headquarters here. The
committee further says: ''The
Association deplors the organic
effort now being made to depress
and send the price of cotton to
the bottom. In spite of the fact
that cotton goods have greatly
advanced, cotton prices have
gone down twenty dollars to
twenty-five dollars per bale. To-
day the staple, measured by the
price of manufactured cotton
goods, is intrinsically worth more
than thirty. five cents per pound
and even at that price it is the
cheapest commodity being sold
in the worlds market. As soon
as the American Cotton Associa-
tion is fully organized with its
million members, it will immed-
lately begin as organized fight in
behalf of cotton"

DAIRY FARMING N
NESHObA COUNTY.


the boil weevil and the extreme
ly high price paid for food stuffs
are causing many former cotton
growers of the county to convert
their farms into live stock and
dairy farms.
Our cut-over pine lands are
cheap and grow excellent pasture
crops. Hill lands that wash bad
ly when planted to cotton may
be pastured proftably. About
one third of the county is in rich
bottom land. This land which is
being cleared and ditched rapid
ly, makes ine crops of corn small
grain and hay. Our growing sea-
son is long and our winters are
mild. Expensive barns are un-
necessary. Pure water may be
had from numerous springs
without pumping.
No agricultural lands can be
made and kept fertile without
the aid of live stock. More plant
food is sold from the land where
crops are sold directly than where
they are sold through animals.
Crop rotation, including restora-
tive crops can not be carried on
as successfully without live stock
US with them.
A dairy farmer should also raise
hogs, chickens and do some truck
farming for the by-products of
one may be used by the other.
Much feed is thus utilized that
would otherwiseabe wasted. Dali
Iry products in Lauderdale county
last year sold for more than their
cottan Lrodncts.
A dairy farmer can offer en-
ployment for twelve months in
The year and thus secure more
efficient and reliable labor. Dai.
ry farming encouraged farmers
to own their own farms and to
live on them. Ii encourages 4e-
groes to migrate to sections where
labor is better suited to their
Characterization, and encourages
q better class of white farmers to
come and live among Us.
BY feeding corn and hay to
cattle, a better price is secured
than could be had on the market,
and most of the coil fertility is
returned to the soil. Forty per
cent more food value may be Sc
cured from corn fed rs ssilage than
where it is fed dry. If q dairy
farmer can only break even with
the sale of dairy products proper
the increase in his herd and the
increased fertility of his soil will
pay him q handsome profit.
A weekly cream check will en-
able farmers to do business on a
cash rather than q credit basis,
and thus eliminate our infamous
credit system.
There is no milk market in the
county at pesent, but there are
four more than . hundred cans
of cream shipped to near by cre-
ameries weekly, and this number
is growing rapidly.
Dairying is not q lazy man. g
job, but work in properly con-
structed dairy barn is not hard
and 1t is faE from q drudgery. 1t
is a real pleasure to handle well
bred ''ladies" that are 30 respon-
sive to kind treatment. It's q
gentleman's job if properly con-
Quoted in Neshoba county, it will
at least enable, us to be gentle
men enough to pay our debts,
which in the good old days was
one of the prime requisites for
putting one in this class.
