COTTON EASILY DAM
AGED BY WEATHER
Should Be Stored Under Cover
Big Loss to South
From Rains.

A bale of cotton is just as sensl-
tive to damage as a bale of hay or
corn is the shock. Every year mil
lions of dollars worth of damage is
done to the cotton crop by the sheer
neglect of the growers. This year,
in spite of the high price of cotton,
farmers and others have permitted
cotton to lie in the open until much
of it is thoroughly rotten.
A lot of cotton was taken up at
Corinth, Miss, few days ago. Some
of the bales had as much as zoo
pounds of rotten cotton. A great deal
of cotton was taken up at Blytheville
day or two ago. The damage to
some of the bales ran as high as 100
pounds.
1t is not safe to pile cotton on
skids and let it rain on it. 1t is not
safe to leave the cotton exposed on
the platform of a gin. Any prudent
farmer can put up shed costing no
more than 500 that will keep so
bales of cotton entirely weather
proof.
Some one said few days ago that
southern people know no more than
anyone else about cotton. Certainly
it is that about three-fourths of the
cotton growers have no realization
of the damage that can be done cot
ton after it is baled. This damage
can be prevented by little work.
The damage, therefore, results from
unintelligence and sheer laziness.-

Prol. P. H. Easom Resigns
from Demonstration Work

jackson, Miss, June 30.-Prof. p.
H. Easom, assistant to J. Ed Run,
farm demonstration agent for South
Mississippi, has resigned to accept
the superintendency of the Consoli-
dated High School at Arkabutla,
Tate county, a place he held and in
which he gave great satisfaction
prior to coming to Jackson, and be-
fore which he had been in the army.
Professor Easom has made a great
many friends during his stay in
Jackson, all of whom regret to see
him leave. The vacancy made by
the resignation has net as yet been
filled. but Mr.. Ruff is looking the
field over for another good man.
The Boy scouts of jackson have
planned a hike to the Old Country
Club lake, five miles out on the
Brandon road, the Fourth of July.
They will spend the day fishing and
swimming, eating and rambling over
the woods under charge of Scoutmas-
ter Moore.
The farmers in this section are
raking the city of Jackson for farm
hands to help them kill the grass,
and are offering heretofore unheard
of wages for such labor. Boys of Is
years OF age, and under, are being
paid 81 per day, and women are Of
fered $3.50 to 50. Even at these
prices the Ioafers around town are
hard to get out into the grass plots,
even when autos and wagons are
sent to get them.
Governor Bilbo has returned from
Amory, Monroe county, where he
spoke Saturday to large audience
in defense of the State Tax Commis-
sion. The governor declares it is
his conviction thatSthe great major
ity Of the people in that vicinity are
heartily in favor of the continuance
of the tax commission. believing II is
tha Only agency that VIII ever get all
kinds Of property on the assessment
rolls at anything like real value.
Henry Cotton objected to chop
ping cotton on the new farm in Quit
man and left for parts unknown a
day or two since. He is described on
the prison register here as rs years
of age, five feet six and one-half in
ches, weighs $50 pounds, is dark
brown color, and has a large scar
from burn on his right leg, and from
cut on right shoulder. He was sent
from Lauderdale county in August,
1917, to serve three years for burg
larry.

MUST APPROVE WHAT is DONE

AS a practical matter the people
of the United States must approve
what is to be done if what is done
now is to last. says the New Orleans
Item.
1t is to be hoped that the League
of Nations debate will be conducted
without heat and on high plane.
it is a pity that there seems to be
a partisan alignment for and against
the project. For there should be no
politics in this situation. AS prac-
tical and selfish matter, the United
States has the most to give. the NEST
to lose, and probably the least to
gain among all the nations of the
world by undertaking new engage
ments and by embarking on new po-
Iicies. AS matter of fact, our peo-
pie are idealistic and altruistic, and
are willing to go long way along
the road Of helping improve the con-
dition of the people Of the world.
The alignment of the Senate in
dicates that out of the counsel and
debate a ground should be found Tor
working out League Of Nations
project along the right lines.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS

The Leader frequently receives let
ters containing worthy and interest
ing comment on civic affairs which
unfortunately are unsigned, except
for such words as "A Reader, etc.
Some persons in Lincoln county
writing such letters do not wish
their names to appear in print in
connection with their publication.
But that isn't the right way to go
about It. Writers Of letters to the
Leader should always sign their
names, and if they do not wish their
names to be printed in connection
with the letter, request to this eff
feet will always be considered.
The paper must have the name and
addresses of its correspondents as an
evidence Of good faith; otherwise
anonymous and irresponsible per-
sons would impose upon it.

RUFF WARNS AGAINST
COTTON MISFORTUNE
Urges Planting of Abandoned
Acres in Other Crops at Once
AS Safety Measure.

jackson. Mis-. Ed Ruff, emer
gency district agent for the South
ern District in mississippi, has ad
dressed a letter to the farmers ane
county agents of his section OF tht
state, dated June so, in which ~
urges them to be on their guard a
gaInst cotton misfortune ana to save
themselves from possible and threat
ened disaster, saying:
...rhe present cotton crop outloot
is rather olscouraging. Owing to un-
seasonable conditions the crop II
small and poorly cultivated, in many
nelds weeVlIs are reported as being
extremely active.
100 many farmers are still de-
pending ON cotton as their only
source of cash income. With mos'
favorable weather conditions after
this date the crop would be far short
of what was anticipated at planting
time; something must be done i'm
mediately to overcome this shortage
There is yet time to plant several
valuable cash crops in South Missis-
sipp1 which should easily take care
OF the cotton deficit. Our records
show that there is a greater per acre
net profit in sweet potatoes than IN
cotton, provided, of course, a sweet
potato curing house is available for
keeping potatoes.
All vacant or abandoned acres
should be planted at the earliest date
possible to such crops as sweet po-
tatoes, peanuts, June corn, cowpeas
or soy beans. Lands that cannot be
planted during July should be plow-
ed and prepared for fall Irish pota-
toes. 7
Every county agent in South Mis-
sissippi is planning a large coop
erative shipment of hogs for this fall.
FINISHED hogs always bring the high
est market price. Sweet potatoes,
peanuts and soy beans are the cheap
est hog feeds for this section. Grow
these crops and let the hogs do the
harvesting.
THE lespedeza crop was never
more promising than it is today.
Clipping weeds in the lespedeza mea-
dow improves the quality of the hay
and materially increases the yield.
The moving blade should be so ad-
justed that it will not cut the buds
out of the lespedeza plant.
PLANT all idle acres to sweet po-
tatoes, peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans,
or June corn. Build sweet potato
curing house, clip weeds in the les
pedeza meadow, plant patch of
fall Irish potatoes, sell few finished
hogs and you will have more money
than would have been received from
a normal cotton crop"

MAKING THEM PARTNERS.

- Make. your daughter your parts
ner," the Country Gentleman advises
the farmer. 1t is demonstrated in
the article that daughters make good
partners, that they rise to response
Dility, develop under confidence and
tend to stay on the farm in which
they have personal and financial
share.
About the same time, the Mary
land Farmer prints poem in which
stranger asks the farm boy, now a
town-dweller, why he bolted. There
is a lot of the poem, but a few lines
will give the gist of the boys reply:
1 left my dad, his farm, his plow
Because my calf became his COW;
l lefti my dad-'twas wrong, OF
course
Because my colt became his horse;
left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep
l dropped my hoe and stuck my
fork
Because my pig became his pork
The garden truck that / made
grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe.
So the boy went to town, not be-
cause he liked smoke and dirt and
noise, but because he wanted some
thing that was his own.
There is lot of hard truth in il
all, and it applies to other places be-
sides farms,
Cooperation makes for content
ment. An interest in the business
for which one has toiled, makes all
the toll worth while. Nobody who
has attained to years of discretion
and who has any ambition, is going
to remain contented very long where
another reaps all the fruit of his Ia
Dor.
