WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS
ARE DOING

Mrs. Miller, of Morgantown, has
ordered 1000 cans so that she can
finish the canning of her crop of
beans. Yes, one thousand cans.
Twenty-one cows brought j. L..
Chesser, Starkville Route 2, check
for S2S0,64 from the Cooperative
Creamery for milk only for The month
of May Yet Mr.. Chesser is out for
p still bigger record and is very anxi-
GUS to find successful dope to kill
hies. If you can help him ont, send
the formula to the NEWS.
The section around Morgantown
knew very little of bees year ago,
vet tt day they have more than fifty
modern hives and are planning for
many more with Mrs. Jodie Morgan
keeping up her record as leader.
Y. A. Beattie shipped carload of
well fed steers to st. Louis Tuesday.
Girls get what they want. Fl. M.
Wade has just purchased a steam
pressure Gamer and sealer for his
!au9hters.
All records are being broken in
the sale of mowers and other farm
machinery. One firm, Turner &
Pierce, report the sale of nine mow-
ers, and practically all larger sizes.
as against two sold at this time of the
season last year.
Mrs. Jodie Morgan has ordered 300
cans to finish up her seasons can

A. l.. Love has so acres of oats
four feet high. When this is hare
vested the same acres are to be plant
ed to sorghum for silage.
Who said plant corn? When ask
ed about his farm last week, A. w.
Reynolds said, "I'm planting Mosby
up to the 26th of June, St. Charles
up to the 4th of July and Mexican
June up to July GOTH" How's that?
One delegation of three little girls
called on Miss Ashbaugh and the
spokesman said, "Miss Ashbaugh, we
are not going to let you go. Our
club has decided to go to work and
raise that$25 a month some way
you just can't 60"
H. H. Reynolds is building a big
modern barn at his town place,
Geo. A. Hummer, bee specialist,
spent three days of this week in OK
TIBBEHA-and the people begged
for Kim to stay two weeks. And
still there is some talk of his Office
being abolished. Every county agent
knows about hogs, sheep, cattle, ETC.,
vet the State lin6s it paws to keep a
State Specialist in each line. Few
or no agents know about bees-that's
not in their line, so they say-ye+
because the State has only one Hog
Specialist, one Sheep Specialist, ctr,
some think that they ought to have
only one Bee Specialist. What does
OKTIBBEHA think?

THE CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE
MEETS TONIGHT

Tonight tells the tale of whether
Fl. A. Beattie is better leader than
Raymond Goodman, or not-or which
army, the RED or the BLUE, worked
the hardest-for. tonight the Chamber
of Commerce will hear the reports
of these two divisions of workers who
have been campaigning all week for
new members. The meeting will be
called to order at the Court House
at o'clock.
The campaign for new members
with the present membership divided
into two armies was one of the re-
suits of last weeks meeting which
was even better attended than the
one before. Many subjects were dis
cussed and considered good work ac-
complished. The committee on the
planting of more food and feed
crops" reported that they had gotten
out a letter to every farmer of the
county urging them to heed the warn
ing.
A committee of A. w. Reynolds,
R. P. Washington, H. a. Beattie and
H. Cunningham was appointed to in
vestigate and report the quickest and
best way to get action on the road
situation and to recommend the
roads Of the county that should be
improved first.
The committee on constitution and
bylaws reported ready but the
adoption of this was carried over to
the next meeting. The dues of the
Chamber of Commerce were placed
at $3.50 a month and an active cam
paign started to increase the men,
bership to $50 within a week and
eventually run it up to more than 500
The attendance and the spirit
shown proves that this new organi-
cation is off to a good start and will
soon have some good results to re-
port.

BERRY CAMPERS HAVE A
BIG TIME At TRIM CANE

Twenty-seven girls returned to
their homes Saturday, so tired but,
oh, so happy, after the first berry
camp of the season. And twenty
seven girls told their parents that
they wanted to go right back again
first chance they got.
With Miss E. Ashbaugh in charge,
these young ladies made their camp
last Thursday near Trim Cane. The
crowd was then divided into two COM
panies with Misses Mary Bush and
Sara Thompson as captains and the
work scheduled so that each group
would do it's share and get the same
number of lessons. The company
headed by Miss Bush won the honor
of making the best record. The pro-
gram kept them busy from breakfast

SECOND BERRY CAMP At
LONGv|EW NEXT WEEK

The second berry camp of the sea-
son will be staged at Longview on
the 23rd and 24th and at the sug-
gestion and offer of Prof. Peter Jack

County for the two days.
Girls from all parts Of the County
will join in the work-fun trip-which
not only furnishes them with a lot
of recreation but also gives them val
liable lessons in cooking and canning.
For several Of the girls, it is said,
this will be their first trip away from
home, which shows the way the par
ents appreciate the work.

LOVE PLOWS Up
COTTON To PLANT
CORN AND BEANS

A. l.. Love, at Trim Cane, has
ploughed up practically all of his cot
ton and is putting nearly all of his
fields down to corn, sorghum and soy
beans. Only five acres of cotton to
each tenent family has besn allowed
to remain, all the rest being planted
in food and feed crops. Although
the cotton had fair chance of max
ing good, Mr.. Love is making this
change because he realizes the i'm
portance of raising feed crops rather
than paying five prices for them.
Mr.. Love is also rapidly pushing
his dairy herd and by fall will have
at least thirty fine cows. For these
he is now rushing to completion a
modern dairy barn, with concrete
foundation and floor, and large ST.
10. Sorghum, soy beans and corn
will make the silage and sorghum
is also being raised for hay.

A. 8 N. MEN ADD BIG
SUM TOFUND TO REBUILD
THE SELF CREEK SCHOOL

The fund for the rebuilding of the
Self Greek Consolidated School re-
ceived a nice addition last week when
the faculty and others at the College
subscribed $164.50 in addition to
what thief had already given. This
amount was secured by w. 7. Norris
and J. R. Kicks in one afternoon and
now puts the total secured to little
more than a thousand, with another
thousand to go.
Jim Harper, an ex-STARKVILLE
citizen now living in San Antonio,
Tex. sent a check for $1,000 to be
added to the fund saying that he had
read about the good work and wanted
to do his little bit.

FINDING OF MEL|LOTUS
in OKT|BbEHA IS GOOD
NEWS FOR BEEKEEPSER

Bookkeeping is growing more por-
ular than ever in OKTIBBEHA Coun-
ty, especially in the western section.
Where a year ago bee-raisers were
few and far between and the colonies
they mad were of the black German
variety, there are now more than fif-
ty colonies in one community, practi-
cally all pure Italian, and practically
all kept in modern hives instead of
the old gums. One family alone has
21 hives and has ordered $75 worth
of supplies to double their apiary.
One of the greatest incentives for
Bookkeeping has been the finding of
melilotus in this section nrd discover
ing that when properly treated it
grows in abundance. Melilotus is
the greatest honey producing clover
in the South and on their trip of in
vestigation Miss E. Ashbaugh, coun-
ty home demomstrator, and Geo.
Hummer, state bee specialist, found
places where it was growing at least
six feet high.
Mrs. Jodie Morgan, of Morgan
town, is one of the enthusiastic
boosters of bees and has done a
great deal of work in that community
helping others to get started and in
Producing the queens to the colonies
for them. 1t is not hard to predict
now that OKTIBBEHA will, five
years from now, be one of the lead
ing counties of the state, if not of
the South.

STURG|S STAGES
c H A j I AUQU A

Sturgis again drew the attention
of all the county by staging, Or
rather putting on, most successful
3 day Chautauqua last week, start
ing Thursday and running to Sunday.
1t was a regular Chautauqua, too, of
the Redpath Lyceum variety, and
consisted of very interesting series
of lectures, interspersed with choice
music, both instrumental and focal.
Probably the most popular number
was the lecture on "Our Town" which
was Fridays feature number and
which brought the joys and benefits
cf communities working together.
The Chautauqua was secured for
Sturgis through the efforts of the
Citizens League of that city of which
Robert L. Hannah is president and
A. l.. Ledbetter is secretary.
All of the meetings were held in a
very large tent which, through the
courtesy of the Starkville Supply Co.,
was brilliantly lighted by one of their
portable Delco electric light plants.

to bedtime and consisted OF keeping
the rooms tidy, serving the meals,
picking berries and canning them,
games of all sorts, fishing, swimming
and even the staging of a most sue
cessful show on Friday night in which
Miss Regina Dunaway won the prize
for drawing the most encores.
The camp was not only a success
as far as the girls were concerned but
according to reports, it was very pop
ular with the residents of that COM
munity who visited the camp contin-
ually and sent ice cream, fruit and
other delicious eatables. Miss Ash
haugh was assisted by Misses Massey
and Burkitt, two other girls club ex-
perts.

Good old OKTIBBEHA looks
little better than ever before
now, doesn't it?
The Starkville news. (Starkville, Miss.) 1902-1960, 1920-06-18

After two extensive scouting trips
covering practically every section of
the South-after having the few Sec
tions that looked best thoroughly in
vestigated by soil experts (gone over
foot by foot), R. D. Collins, profess
sional dairyman of Lexington, KY,
and well-known in dairy circles all
over the United States as scientific
dairyman, came back to OKTIBBE-
Il A last week and bought the Fl. H.
Skies farm at Patrick, OKTIBBEHA
COUNTY and will make that place
his home and headquarters after
January the first.
Mr.: Collins is not speculator.
He is business farmer whose
records in Fayette County, KY,
show that he sold, in 1919, more
than $13,000.00 worth of sweet milk
alone from 40 cows. Through the
influence of Gano Johnson, a cele-
brated horse breeder who came to
this section about six years ago and
who is now located near Columbus.
Blue Grass section of Mississippi be-
cause of it's climatic conditions and
he made scouting trip through here
about six weeks ago. He not only
visited 0KTIBBTHA but every other
section of the South which he thought
might be desirable and after seeing
them all, came back to STARK
VILE where he spent some time
with Prof. Kicks and other soil ex-
perts, going over soil analsys, etc.
and then bought the place which his
Investigations proved the best.
This consisted of 470 acres known
as the H. H. Skies place, including
Glenwood which he will make his
home. The farm is located 3 miles
from the A. and M. College and 4
miles from STARKVILLE on the
West Point road. Many improve
ments are already planned for the
farm and it will be an uptodate mod
ern dairy farm in every prospect.
The sale was made through the To-
cal firm of Reynolds & Beattie and
the price was $40 an acre. This is
one of the largest sales of the year
and one of the most important, it is
claimed, because it brings another
scientific expert to OKTIBBEHA.
Both Mr.. Collins and Mr.. Johnson,
who were here together when the
deal was closed agreed that this sec
tion equals in every way the famous
blue grass section of Kentucky, and
has far better climatic conditions" I"

While you were fussing
about the heat Sunday, did you
stop to think of and sympa-
thize with the poor unfortun-
ates up North where the ther-
mometers were registering
from 2 to 10 degrees higher
than ours?
Apparently the whole United
States has had some awful
weather since January first but
these six months only give us
added proof of the superiority
of OKTIBBEHA china e.
While the northerners suffered
from one of the worst winters
on record, we had only the rain
to complain of-and while
their crops are now under aver
age, ours are as good if not bet.
ter than they were this time
last year-and everybody is
straming every muscle to get
in still more feed and food
crops.
H. w. Collingwood, editor
of Rural New Yorker, says that
OKTIBBEHA equals in every
way the famous blue grass
region of Kentucky and has far
better climatic conditions-the
only reason we have not had a
rush is because we have never
told the outside world about it.
The first. concerted move of
the STARKVILLE Chamber of
Comerce was "to get better
roads in the county, even if we
have to get out and build them
ourselves"
At least three million more
potato plants are being planted
this year than last in this coun-
ty-number being easily de-
termined from the books of the
Dixie Yam at Sturgis. Are you
getting your share?
The first corn tassels of the
season are reported by J. j.
Reed who is now "laying by"
some of his fields at Bradley.
What do you think of that?
"Oh, Miss Ashbaugh, dad
dy's ploughel up some rotton
and given me the space for a
'arden"-and this little lady
of Longview fairly danced for
joy. What do you think of
that?
To friend Barton, of Long
view and many others who hes
itate to subscribe to the NEWS
thinking that the NEWS nigh,
possibly revert to the former
four p&ges AS soon as we get
their money we say this: The.
profit we could steal in this
manner would not, under any
circumstances, amount to more
than $500 and to get this we
would lose the confidence and
righteously earn the distrust of
every man, woman and child in
OKTIBBEHA.
On the other hand, two or
three years of honest, hard
work devoted to the upbuilding
of OKTIBBEHA (Which it
more than merits) Will result
in giving us the good will and
1cnce Of every citizen, tie
respect of everybody and a
newspaper institution that will
by that time be self-sustaining
and should render us a just
profit for the remainder of our
lives.
