"Plants can easily be protect
ed from Colorado potato beetles
which are giving the gardeners
much trouble at this time, by ap-
plying a mixture of equal parts
of powdered arsenate of lead and
air.slacked line,'l say the gar
den specialists Of the Extension
Division.
"This is a stomache poison and
is effective against other leaf.eat-
ing insects also, such as the bean,
leaf beetle, cabbage worm and the
tomato horn worm. The poison
mixture can be applied by dust
ing through a cheese-cloth sack.
"Onion thrips, plant lice, and
other soft-bodied insects can be
destroyed by spraying with a SOL
ution Of nicotine sulphate--one
ounce Of sulphate mixed with six
gallons of water. Dissolve about
one huff pound Of laundry soap
in the water before mixing in
the nicotine sulphate."
Tomatoes should be pruned and
staked so they will bear more
fruit. There is no use Of surplus
foliage so cut it off and tie up the
plants SO the fruit can get plenty
Of sun light.

of milk which was sold for 1910.
The COW was purchased by Mr..
Levy from DR.. l.. E. Morgan of
Baton Rouge, as a three-year old
with first calf and made the above
record after having been fresh for
80 days and shipped from Baton
Rouge to Alexandria.
This COW cost Mr.. Levy $500;

cost of $500. During the first 80

Save The Pine Forests.

Bogalusa, La. May 10th 1920.
Did you know that it is not
every year that we get a good
crop of yellow pine maste For
the two past years there was but
little seed produced on account of
dry weather. This year however
there is a bumper crop. Had you
noticed it? Just think about it,
the seed that will fall on the
ground this fall and winter will be
sufficient to cover the entire
ground with another crop of yel-
low pine trees, and this it would
do in Gods own way, if it were
not for the woods fires which will
sweep all over the land again
next winter and destroy ths seed
even before they terminate. Is it
not a pity that every man, wo-
matt, and boy and girl does not
resolve that no destructive blaze
shall be caused by the little match
which he or she may strike? The
good progressive farmer will burn
a strip around his fence and
premises to be sure, but he will
also put on both sides not permit
ting it to run at large on his
neighbors land. In fact that is a
violation of the law any way. 1t
is not a violation of the law for
the owner to burn off his own
land if he chooses but it is vio-
latlon to permit the fire to run
uncontrolled off his land onto that
of another.
The ordinary woods fire does
not kill and destroy the little yell
low pine sapling or seeding.
They will survive the ordinary
grass fire The great trouble is
the fire destroys all the seed be-
fore they have chance to germi.
nate. The fire also destroys the
mulch which would greatly facili-
tate the termination of the seed.
The bog is a much greater enemy
to the little Seeding than grass
fire. If all the big woods was
coming at once to seedlings there
would DO good crop in spite Of
the hogs and fire. So don't you
see if every one of US would see
to it that the woods are not burn.
ed off in the next forty eight
months we will have already
started another forest of yellow
pine trees.
Can it be done? Will it pay?

WANT WAREHOUSE
RECEIPTS THAT
ARE NEGOTIABLE

JACKSON. Miss. Jan, n. tspl)-
Senator Harry *. Murray, of Warren
county, who is recognized as a special
list on commercial legislation, has
placed on the senate calendar a bill
providing for uniform warehouse re-
ceipts.
Senator Murray Is the author Of the
negotiable instruments act, passed at
the last legislative session, which is a
complete codification of statutes Oh
that subject. The bin he has just
framed seeks to place Mississippi in
line with 40 other states Of the Union
having statutes enabling farmers TO OBJ
tain warehouse receipts OF a negotiable
character, on which they a borrow
money.
The measure is in no way connected
or complicated with the bonded ware
house plan, a bill providing for which
is soon to be offered by Senator Mid
dleton Of Kinds. Senator Murray,
however, is verySmuch in favor of the
bonded warehouse bill, and the meas
ure he has just framed will be abso-
lutely necessary in event the bonded
warehouse system is adopted. while il
will be of very material benefit to the
farmers should the Middleton bill ran
to pass.
