WHAT OUR COUNTY
FARMERS ARE DOING

Mr.. H. G. Cousar of Jordan has a
fine six acre Bermuda pasture. BY
having this permanent pasture Mr..
Cousar can raise a much larger num-
Der Of cattle and hogs, and he has
some fine hogs too, than he could if
he had to depend on a swamp or tenn
porary pastures. Clarence Poe in the
Progressive Farmer says, livestock
and pastures are inseparable. You
can't have one and not the othe. if
you are in business to make money.
D. Marion Evans over neaf Work
man has fine Hereford bull and that
this bull is making himself popular in
that section is easily seen for there
is large number of white faces over
there since Marion bought him. Men
buy purebred sires and stand them for
the use of their neighbors are valu-
able MEN for their neighborhood, coun-
ty and state and people who live in the
neighborhood of such men are for
tunate for they can come in daily con-
tact with these builders of the live
stock industry and in time will un-
conciously put into use better methods
of breeding and raising livestock.
$325.00 is offered in prizes by busi-
ness men of Manning to the three
boys clubs which will be conducted in
Clarendon this year, most of which
has been offered by Mr.. C. r. Sprott
of the Manning Oil Mill. Sixteen
prizes ranging from $500 to $500
are offered and Mr.. L. L. Baker, State
Leader Of Boys Clubs, says this is the
best set of prizes offered in any coun-
ty in the State. Now we want to see
large number of boys join these
clubs and show the people Of the
State that Clarendons boys can do bet
ter farming than the boys in any
other county. In another article in
this paper these clubs are described
and the prizes listed. Parents talk
1t over with your boys and send in
the blank provided, properly filled in.

A WEEKLY BECOMES A SEMI
WEEKLY.

Tha Yazoo Herald, beginning with
yesterday, changed its weekly edition
to a semi-weekIy.,
The Herald has the following to
say about the progressive step it is
taking:
"In these days of progress, of
swiftly passing events-in these days
of the telephone and the telegraph,
of the wireless and the aeroplane, of
the auto and the rural free delivery
the weekly newspaper is too slow
a medium for place of the size of
Yazoo City and a people as progress
i've as are those of Yazoo County.
During the nearly forty-nine years
of it's existence the Herald has ever
been abreast of the times. 1t is in
keeping with it's past traditions that
we are now taking this forward step.
"The Herald will remain an eight
page six-column paper as at present,
put in order to meet the increased
cost of production we will be COM
PEELED to increase it's subscription
price to $3.50 a year.
"The Issuing of a semi-weekly in
stead of a weekly paper involves
more labor and more expense, but
we believe that our subscribers and
patrons are entitled to the best we
have in the shop, and no labor or ex-
pense will deter us from serving
tnem to the best of our ability"
The Semi-weekly leader., 1920-01-24
THE SCHOOL TEACHER IS EN-
TITLED TO A LIVING.

The lack of trained teachers has
benn a mater of common lamentation
for years. We have lamented, but
we have done little or nothing to get
trained teachers, and now we are
indulging in even deeper lamenta-
tion over the lack of any teachers at
all.
There is no secret as to why teach
ers of the right sort are almost i'm
possible to get in the rural districts,
or why teachers of any kind are be-
coming scarcer and scarcer. Every
one knows that it is because teach
ers are not paid a living wage.
East Tennessee teachers held a
meeting the other day and decided
that no college graduate ought to
teach for less than 500 a month
for the first year; no normal school
graduate for less than $50 month; /;
no high school graduate for less than
$50 a month, and that these salaries
ought steadily to be increased with
the increased experience of the teach
ers. These figures are not bit too
high. Considering what unskilled
laborers of many kinds are getting,
and what 1t costs even to live these
days, they are low.
One thing is certain-teachers
must be better paid, or there will
soon be no teachers to pay. We
may just as we'll make up our minds
TO pay them more.-Southern Agri-
culturist.
