MABRY WAGNER NOW
CHICKEN FANCIER

One of Water Valleys enterpris-
ing, energetic young men, Mr.. Mabry
Wagner, has turned his attention to
raising fine poultry One of Mr..
Wagner's fancies for considerable
time has been keen interest in fine
poultry-in fact he had such an ir-
restible desire to handle the birds
that he decided to get some of his
own" and enjoy the pleasure of car
ing for them.
He decided to get the Mahogany
Russian Orloff for his pen. After con-
siderable research he found the birds
that Just suited him--7 in all, a cock
and pullets, but at price, well
they cost the young fancier plenty
but if we are any judge of fine
feathers" they are well worth the
price. The cock selected is the same
bird whose picture embellished the
front cover Rage Of the JunH. t9AG
sssrsa o 1he lAsner,ealS Poultry Jour
nal and the six pullets purchasd were
hatched from eggs layed by the cell
ebrated hens described in an Illus
trated article oi the same issue of the
Poultry Journal.
The Mahogany Russian Orloff is
one of the original poultry strains
that have made wonderful records
for ovr two centuries. They are a
bearded fowl with side bristles which
gives them a ''manish" appearance
although they are among the most
'refined" and accomplished" men,
bers of the most "select" poultry
society, today. They are dark ma
hogany color and classed with heavy
weight fowls. They are non-setters
and wonderful layers-in fact among
the word record breakers. In the
world contest for egg laying which
began Nov. /, 1919, Mahogany Rus
sian Orloff hen held the record for
the first seven months when the hen
died, or she would have undoubtedly
won the championship. The Orlotf
is also classed as one of the best ta-
BILE fowls in the world.
We congratulate the young man on
his choice of fowls. and will watch
with more than passing interest the
record they make during the coming
season.

of burning corn instead of coal this
winter unless thev receive more than
so to 60 cents bushel for their crop.
Throughout the south the cotton
growers are in bad shape.
The problem of exporting cotton
and other farm commodities to coun-
tries in central Europe whose credit
has been practically wiped out by
the war, will be considered. IL
Germany and Austria could be
financed to the extent of buying the
low grade American cotton crop the
south would recover quickly. In
the same way, if world market
could be found for other American
farm commodities, the entire nation
would benefit.
Among the other problems which
the convention will undertake to
solve are the tariff: transportation;
labor activities: wage reductions;
cooperative marketing; collective bar
gaining; land tenancy; credits and
financing of farmers. %

agricultural activities, for the purpose
of solving some of the pressing prob

Agriculture is ''going to the mat"
with present systems of distribution.
The recent decline of farm com

most serious situation, both indus
trial and agricluturally, which the
American Farm Bureau Federation
will attempt TO correct. The con

''''''' RULING
ON TAX PAVING
Collector Must Earn Damages
On Delinquent Taxes-Tax-
PAYERS Have Until Feb. !
Before "Frost" Bite

JACKSON, Miss, Nov 30.-As tax
paying time draws nigh 1t will be OF
interest to the property owners OF
Mississippi to learn that the attorney
general holds that no damages can be
collected on delinquent property "un-
til the tax collector does something to
earn the damages"
After Dec. Is unpaid taxes become
delinquent. H<satof2re it has been

date, whether taxes are paid volun-
tarily or not. This was not in ac-
cordance with the law, but became II
general custom, and the law has beer.
overlooked.
The effect of the attorney generals
opinion is that the tax collector can
not collect damages on delinquent
real estate until he advertises same
for sale. He cannot advertise be-
fore Jan. IS next, and as this date
falls in the midst of heavy collections
it is not probable that he can make
up his advertising list by that date
In any event, it means that the real
estate owner will have 80 day
breathing spell after Dec. Is, if it is
not convenient to pay by that date.
In the case of personal property,
the tax collector cannot collect dam
ages after Dec. IS until he distrains
for the property or makes some physi-
cal effort to collect same, such as
sending out a deputy.
Tax Collectors are required to set
tie with repositories on the 25th of
each month. If, therefore, taXpay-
ers generally take advantage of the
30-day period, and wait until Jan. Is
to settle, these collections will not be
available to the treasury until Feb.
10.
Owning to the depressing conditions
generally prevalent, especially in the
cotton growing sections, it is most
probable that the property owners
will take advantage of all time pos
sible to make their payments.
The usual low ebb in the treasury
at this season has been helped out
heretofore by the sale of the states
cotton crop, but the cotton is being
held for better prices.

The problems to be considered are
the decline in price of wheat to 81 90
a bushel or some 35 cents bushel be-
low the cost of production; the de,
cline of corn to so scents bushe!
when the farmers say they would
lose money if they received 81 q
bushel: the decline of cotton, which
is now around Is cents a pound,
when it costs at least rs cents pound
to produce.
To STABILIZE FARM CROP
PRICES
Recently President Howard called
on farmers to curtail their crop pro-
duction till prices should more or less
stable on the basis of supply and de-
mand.
Recent declines in the price of farm
products averaged rs per cent. Many
commodities declined more than 100
per cent.
It will be clearing house of farm
troublesand for the first time will the
American Farm Bureau Federation
show its full power as functioning
national organization.
