Demand for Photos
of Good Farm, Scenes

There is a great demand for good
photographs, such as small camera
pictures, of farm scenes and partic-
ularly for farm scenes in the delta
region of the lower Mississippi Val
ley, according to the Southern Al
luvial Land Association of Memphis.
In it's work of boosting the, delta
COUNTRYWIDE, many calls are made up
on the Association for good photo
graphs. Recently Underwood q
Underwood, New York firm that
supplies pictures to scores Of news
papers and magazines, asked the
Southern Alluvial Land Association
to keep it supplied with pictures from
the delta. These will do a great deal
of good in the way of advertising
the agricultural possibilities, and the
farm lands of this country.
The Southern Alluvial Land As
ISOLATION can place to advantage good
pictures of farm scenes and if a prac-
tice is made of taking such pictures
and sending the to Memphis, it will
be fine way to make this commu-
nifty better known. The Memphis or
ganization does not own, buy or sell
land, but is interested, much like
chamber of commerce, in boosting
the whole delta country.

Message to Mars
May Soon eB Sent

Washington, Jan. IA method
of sending apparatus to the hitherto
unreached layers Of the air, to the
regions beyond the earth's atmos-
phere, and even as far as the moon
itself, is described by Prof. Robert
H. Goddard of Clark College, in a
recent publication for the Simthson-
ian Institution.
The new apparatus is multiple
charge high efficiency rocket of an
entirely new design.
"The great scientific value of Prof.
Goddard's experiment" says the an
nouncement, "lies in the possibility
of sending recording apparatus to
moderate and extreme attitudes with
in the earth's atmosphere. The
highest level that has ever been
reached up to the present time with
the recording instruments is about 10
miles, accomplished with free bal
LOOM
The new rocket apparatus would 60
straight up and come straight down,
making possible daily observations
for use in weather predictions. The
time of ascent will be very short, only
six and one half minutes being re-
quired to carry the apparatus up
$50 miles, somewhere near the outer
limit of the earth's atmosphere.
Prof. Goddard is at present under
a grant from the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, perfecting the reloading mech
anism whereby successive charges
are inserted in the explosive chamber
during its upward flight.

"The Call of The
ALIuUiaI Empire''

Copies- of the descriptive booklet,
"The Call of the Alluvial Empire, y
compiled and published by the South
EN- Alluvial Land Association OF
Memphis, have been received here.
1t is one of the most attractive peic-
es of literature ever issued on the
delta region, not only in appearance
and general makeup but in the mat
ter it contains.
The booklet is being distributed
throughout the United States with
a view to interesting the country at
large in the fine lands and the agri-
cultural possibilities of the lower
Mississippi Valley. Some of the
copies have gone to foreign coun-
tries including Holland and South
Africa.
The Southern Alluvial Land As
socaition does not own, buy or sell
land. 1t was formed by planters,
bankers, lumbermen, breeders, bust
ness men, chambers of commerce and
Others with a view Of removing by
correct and conservative publicity
and advertising, some of the evil and
unfounded prejudices that exist
against delta lands. For instance
many people in the north do not
know that levees have solved over
flow problems and that drainage has
reclaimed thousands of acres of fine
farm land.
The Memphis association is young
but prospecting. Wide circulation Of
its new booklet is only one of nu-
merous ways it is going about it's
work of advertising the 25,0O0,OOO
acres of delta lands of the lower
Mississippi Valley. Undoubtedly the
Associations work has already con-
tributed to the big demand for delta
farm lands. Certainly its new book
let, distributed throughout the ma
ton will do wonderful amount Of
good.

Hogs, horses, mules and cows de-
serve good beds and well as the
farmer and his family.
If wood is not in convenient
place for the good wife, carry 1T to
the kitchen for her. and resolve to
have the wood house properly To-
Gated before another year passes.
If land has not already been select
ed for corn, do so at once and decide
lust what kind of fertilizer will be
needed. The sooner ordered, the
better.
Plans should be made at once for
sowing the, earliest feed crops. This
is particularly true if an ample acre.

were not seeded last fall.
Will you be able to get along with
out an incubator this winter and still
have the best possible success with
YOUR poultry? Early Matched pullets
make the best layers, and the. only
way to have large number of ear
ly pullets is to hatch them artificial
ly. ~,
IL YOU are now raising any live
stock at all or ever expect to raise
any, you should keep in touch with
the successful livestock raisers of
this state.
1t will be a good time during the
next two months to clean up the
pastures. On many farms through
out the South, small trees and under
brush are more in evidence than
good grass. Lets get rid Of the bush

idea of making real pastures as soon
as possible.
Kin the scrub sire-for he is the
daddy of more trouble and poverty
in the South than almost anything
else! His offspring are thieves that
steal feed, labor. and much of the
happiness of country life. When he

By all means do not neglect to
keep books on the farm income and
expenditures this year. 1t is the
only way to know absolutely where
YOU are at" in the matter of profits
on particular farm operations. 1t
will also save trouble in reporting
your gross income for taxation.
If you did not include the planting
of an orchard in one of your New
Years resolutions, add a resolution
about this even yet. Every farm
table should have an abundance of
fruits at all times, and the only way
to secure such good things to eat
is to grow them. They are too ex-
pensive when bought over the re-
tail counter.
If the stalks that were left stand
ing in the fields have not been cut,
attend to this job at once. Do not
pile and burn them. They contain
expensive plant food and will add
much valuable humus to the soil il
cut and turned under. But pillow them
under as early as possible so that
they will decay as much as possible

mon ownership. The finding of the
capital for the scheme was difficult
in view of the poor credit conditions
in the business and Mr.. Rockefeller
could recall only two concerns-the
Warden, Frew & Co., interests of
Philadelphia and the Charles Pratt
Company of New York-who were
willing to furnish cash in return for
stock. AS an illustration of the
strengency in the money market, he
said, the Standard Oil Company Dor
rowed from its share holders all the
money they would lend and paid ten
per cent interest for it.
The money thus raised was still
insufficient. but financial backing
was obtained through the sale of
stock to leading capitalists and the
business of other refiners was taken
over by payments either in stock
or cash. The ablest representatives
of such concerns were enlisted in
the administration of the point un-
dertaking.
"And here / may be pardoned for
saying" Mr.. Rockefeller wrote, that
the Standard Oil Company made a
record without precedent in the his
tory of commercial enterprise in
turning to its weaker and bankrupt
competitors and offer them a chance
to recoop their waning fortunes with
out. any risk on their part except the
putting in Of their plants, many of
which were superannuated and lily
equipped to cope with the more up
to-date refiners even of that time.
IL am happy that all who took
stock prospered and did much bet
ter than they could have done un-
der any other circumstances.
s'This, however, was not so sur
prising after the trying years
through which they had passed; and
this must be remembered that this
was a new and untried thing and
that many people regarded the organ
ization as rope of sand. Not only
was this true at its inception. but for
some time efforts were made on ev-
cry hand to discredit the company.
Such opposition was to be expected,
as the methods of economizing in
every step from the putting down
of the well to the delivery to the
consumer of the manufactured pro-
duct brought about an economic rev.
olution, accomplished, as such great
movements always are, by more or
less antagonism from those who pre-
ferred to continue the old obsolete
method
The history of the company was
also reviewed by Mr.. Bedford, who
declared that in many respects it
was The histor of petroleum
throughout the world. He asserted
in every country. where ~oil produc-
ton has been property organized
it has been made so by emulating
Standard Oil methods.
Mr. Bedford eulogized Mr.. Rookie
teller, Henry M. Flagler, Charles
Pratt and Henry E. Rogers, asso-
ciates in the formation and devel-
opment of the Standard OH Cor
operation, as men who had not mere
ly built up tremendous enterprise
but who had made great contribu-
tons to their country in philan-
thropy, medicine, education and

MONcREL PUP SAVES

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Pietro is just an
ordinary mutt" disreputable mon
grel pup, but today he was the means
of saving six lives. He was the pet
of the four Digiovania children, who
range in years from 10 to baby in
arms. Charles Digiovania, his wife
and the four children were asleep
in the upper story of their home
shortly after midnight when their
house was set on fire, presumably
by members of the Black Hand. Pie
tro, the mongrel pup, alarmed by the
smoke, ran upstairs to the door of
the sleepers and barked furiously
and scratched at the door until Digio-
vania awoke. He found the flames
bursting up the front stairs and
ran to the rear. The incendiary had

recently received several letters from
the Black Hand, demanding tribute
under pain of the destruction of his
family and himself.

Rockefeller Tells
Financial Romance

New York, Jan. 10.--The story Of
how the Standard Oil Company grew
from humble beginnings until it be-
come the greatest business organiza-
ton in the world was related by the
founder himself, John d. Rockefel-
Ter, in a letter which was read here
tonight which was held in celebra-
ton of the golden jubilee of the
worldwide corporation. Absence IN
Florida prevented Mn Rockefeller
from joining the little group of null
ti-millionaires who assembled for the
celebration. In his letter which was
addressed to A. c. Bedford, chair
man of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, Mr.. Rockefeller said he
believed there were only two survi-
vors of the original organizers of
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio.
the parent organization-his brother
William and himself He said he had
commenced his career as an oil re-
finer, preceding his brother in the
business by four years.
"The business. of oil refining, Mr..
Rockefeller wrote, was very profit
able in the early COS, but in the
late COS it was overdone and the
competition was ruinous so that prob
ably 80 and possibly 80 per cent
OF all engaged in it were either bare
ly holding their own or suffering ac-
tual loss"
Many efforts were made to rene
dy the decentralization in the indus
try but without success. Mr.. Rookie
Teller continued, until the Standard
