'.;.' ~r , At Fargo, N. Oak, the citizens were annoyed by a/lleayy infestation of rats. A bureau representative enlisted the cooperation of the city commission, the commercial club, the health department, tine Boy Scouts, women's clubs, and other organizations, and conducted a very successful campaign against the pest. In this instance the poison, baridm carbonate, was purchased in quan- titles and used as a, destructive agent with excellent results. ~ :. A Statewide rat eradication cam- paign in Texas will soon be launched against rats. The Bureau of Biologi- cal Survey has been asked to detail a specialist to direct the operation
 .-'. ---. ~Iz'.uf ! Borrowed Money Should -,r s> More Than Repay Debt
 Farm credit is a good agency in the hands of those farmers who know how to use it, but it is a dangerous element of farm business if its na- ture and purpose is not fully under stood. An unproductive enterprise is not safe basis on which to borrow money under any conditions. It is more important that the enterprise shall be productive than that the rate of interest at which one can, borrow money be high or low. Farm credit specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture lay down one essential rule to be followed by the farmer who proposes to borrow money: Make sure that the purpose for which the borrowed money is to be used will product a return great CT than is needed to pay the debt.
 A dairy is we'll adapted to cost. accounting records when information is wanted on only few farm enter prises, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. If the diary is written up each day it takes but moment to enter the hours and minutes spent in working the crop, and the necessary notes regarding the cost of seed, fertilizer, and equipment. The common form of diary is book containing blank page for each days record and with space in the back for financial ac- counts. Another form has a page for each day divided to give space to the records of two years A sinli- lar type furnishes space for a five year period.

LIKED THE PAPER

~ am so proud of the Dispatch OF
last Sunday that want to send one
to Atlanta and one to New York
City" said leading mercant Of
Columbus yesterday.
"You certainly covered the ground,
he continued: 81 don't see where you
get it all; your write-up of the col
lege was fine; your society notes
were splendid, and your base ball
page was a dandy"
The gentleman was given the pa
pers TO send away, as he left he
said: columbus should be proud of
the Dispatch; 90 to it; / am with
you"
Newspaper folks are just as hui
man as other folks, and they appre-
,iate words Of encouragement. The
Dispatch has always been one Of the
leading papers in the South. We
know it, Still il sounds good to hear
folks say so. Your wife knows you
love her, and she knows you think
she is the best looking woman in the
South, but it doesn't hurt anything
TO tell her occasionally how well you
love her and how pretty you think
she is. One modest violet in the
hands of the living is better than all
of Mr.. Owens flowers on the grave.

RED MEN LIKE
JOHN w. BAUGH
Tennessee Gentleman Who Organized
Lodge Impressed Brothers With
Earnestness and Character.

Mr.. John b. Baugh, Of Nashville
Tenn, who came here several weeks
|, ago to re-organize the lodge Of Red
Men, has finished his work here and
returned to his home in the Tennessee
capital. Mr.. Baugh's brothers Of the
order were very much impressed with
his lofty patriotism, his earnestness,
and his splendid Christian character.
AS token Of their esteem they have
drafted the following preamble and
resolutions:
Whereas, Brother Jno. w. Baueh, Of
Nashville, Tenn, organizer Of the I. Q.
OF Red Men in the state Of Mississippi,
who, for the past several weeks, has
been in our city, re-establishing Lux
apalila Tribe No. l, has completed his
labors here and leaves for a new field
it seems to us fitting that we should
testify as to cur appreciation Of his
services, and make his departure the
occasion for saying some things which
we as a tribe earnestly feel, but could
not, with the short notice of his de
parture, find words for expression
Therefore, be it resolved, that Lux
apalila Tribe No. l, l. O. Of Red Men
can hardly realize the pleasure which
has come to us with the knowledge
that now at the end Of our association
as organizer and Red Men, Brother
Jno. w. Baugh has not worked in
vain, and whilst his labors on account
of the vast economic upheaval which
followed the war, and the impecunio-
sity that followed the closing Of the
markets Of the world to our products
his securing the member
ship his efforts deserved, yet he has
the assurance that his weeks Of active
service as organizer has not robbed
him of that most precious If all hu-
nan capacities-the power to give and
evoke friendship.
Resolved, that We wish him to car
~ away with him the knowledge that
one and all, we have known him to
owe him as friend, and We shall miss

THIS BEATS COTTON

One of our exchanges, edited by a
man of vision who sees great posi-
bilities for the South in the diversi-
fication of crops, says;
ION last Saturday r. H. Borders
brought to this office bunch of
small Spanish peanuts. The foliage
was heavy and the roots were heavily
laden with peanuts. There is no
doubt but what the yield will be
something like five tons of hay from
the crop on one and one-haf acres
of land, which is located hear the
compress. Mr.. Borders says he is
pretty sure of gathering 300 bushels
of peanuts. If he does, this one and
one-half acres of land will pay him
more than the same amount Of land
planted in cotton and yielding a bale
to the acre. He will sell the hay for
$40 a ton, which will bring him an
even 800. He has already sold the
peanuts for 9 IL cents a pound, or
$1.OO a bushel, WHICH will bring him
$500. This will make this acre and
a half of land bring him $400 This
is better than cotton. Cotton is the
staple crop Of the state, but the peo-
pie should raise their own provisions,
hogs, cattle, chickens, vegetables for
home consumption, and cotton for the
money crop, Diversifying means
much to our state"

PROPER WAY TO
SELECT SEED CORN
Mr.. r. S. Wilson Tells Corn Club
Boys How to Pick Out .
Prize Ears.

Mr.. r. s. Wilson, of the Agriculture
College, Miss, gives Corn Club boy
and others interested the following
general rules for the selection Of seel
corn:
Now is the time for each corn clul
boy or corn growing exhibitor il
Mississippi who is anxious or am
bilious to enter winning exhibit foI
the fairs throughout the state thi.
fall to begin to bupd up with that ent
in view. There were some genera
rules and directions issued a year OF
two ago with a view to facilitating
and systematzing this work, which arr
jnst applicable to the harvest season
of 1921. These rules are comprehen-
sive and simple and are as follows,
The first thing to look at in an
ear is its size and shape. The size
win depend somewhat upon the va
riety, the prolific varieties not BENG
as large as the "one-ear" varieties. A
perfect prolific ear should be about
g IL inches long and 2 IL inches in
diameter 1t should not taper much
from the butt to the tip, but be prac
tically straight.
The next thing to consider is
whether or not the ear is mature Chat
is filled QUIT, and In good condition
for market. Take it in both hands and
try to twist it. If IT gives any you
may know that it is not fully mature
and dry. A perfect ear should not
give" when twisted
Next, see to it the corn is pure-b bred
or mixed. This is very important, and
is shown by the color Of the grain and
the cob. Every grain on the ear should
be the same color. The cob should
also be the right color; that is, if a
white-cob variety, all cobs should be
white, or if red-cob variety the cob
should be of that color.
Another important feature to con
slider is the size of the cob. This can
be determined picking out a grain and
looking down in the cavity left. If is
wanted the removed grain can be put
back IN place, and the looks Of the ear
will not be affected
This is another point that is impor
tant. The grains should have square
corners and straight sides or edges
Then they will sit close up together
and no space will be lost. They should
not be wedge-shaped. Besides these
things, the tips and butts should jbe
we'll filled in and covered with grain;
the rows straight and not crooked
Neither should there be any odd
shaped grains on the ear.
Above all, the entire ten ears SHOULD
De as near uniform as possible. The
pest way to do, in selecting the ex-
libit is to pick out one ear that is as
nearly perfect as can be found, and
hen compare all others with it until
nine more just like it are found. OF
course it is not expected that ten ears
Exactly identical will be found, but
,he effort will carry its own reward
n reassuring results. The best time
o begin selection Of your ten ears is
when the crop is being gathered Put
