TO ASSIST FARMERS

\ New Orleans, Sept. 20.-A bill au
thorizing pooling of farmers assets
and issuance of debentures against
them, thereby providing a year
round market, will be introduced in
Congress next month, former Con-
gresham A. f. Lever told the Inter-
state Farm Congress in session here
today.
Mr.. Lever told the farmers of Lou
isiana and Mississippi that the system
of distribution and marketing is to
blame for agricultural backwardness
in many parts of the south. Under
the proposed law, he said, not only
will these conditions be offset, but
many Of the evils of speculation will
be overcome.

on the way to Eupora, the chief cot
ton market of this county. 1t sold
for 20 cents a poppdf This was last
years cotton that has been kept dry.
There are still some small rem
nants of last years cotton in this
county, that will start farmers In
paying their taxes, and now there is
also demand for railroad ties, to
which many farmers are giving atten-
ton for tax money.

Big Increase. Shown
In Cotton Warehouses
Bonded Under Law

big increase in the number of
cotton warehouses licensed by the
united States Department of Agri-
culture under the federal warehouse
act is reported by the bureau of
markets for the past year. A little
more: than one year ago a tempor-
airy held station was established at
Atanta, Ga, under the administers
tlon OF the United States Warehouse
act. At that time there were eight
cotton warehouses in Georgia, two in
Ala bama, three in Texas and one in
mississippi licensed under the act,
1here are now 1877 licensed in Geor-
GA. thlrty-seven in Alabama, three
in Mississippi. one in Louisiana, nine
In Arkansas and three in Texas.
Licensing under the United States
warehouse act is permissive and VOL
untary. During the first years after
ITS enactment in 1916 Warehouses
We're ,sloW to recognize it's benefits
and farmers were slow to see the
value OF the standardized receipts
made possible by the law, but during
the past year many warehouses of
different kinds have applied for lie
enses.
The Federal reserve banks of At
lanta and Dali . are taking an active
part in Influencing Warehousemen to
become licensed and bonded, and the
federal farm loan board has ap-
proved forms of receipts to be issued
to growers who use the warehouses;

Florida Authority
Tells How to Make
Hens Lay All Summer

Fresh eggs every day of the long
it is, says DR.. N. w. Sanborn, pro
lessor of poultry husbandry of the
FLORIDA College of Agriculture.
When asked this question, he said:
II nave in my office right now eggs
that were laid in March, were incu-
bated. at 103 degrees for fourteen
days, have tested perfectly clear
within the last few days, are now
lying exposed to the air. and I,expect
to use these eggs for food about
June I. Eggs ten or twelve weeks
old, exposed to high temperature for
two weeks, and yet not bad eating!"
How is it possible? Do not let the
rooster run with the hens. Fertilized
eggs Will not keep. Eggs, unfertil-
lzed, will keep for weeks in almost
Hens lay as many eggs without
the rooster as with him.
The male bird should be kept in
runs to himself only when it is de-
sired to have eggs for Matching pur-
poses. If one cares to have eggs for
lncubatlng, throughout the summer,
or throughout the year. keep the
rooster with only a portion of the
hens, Just enough to supply the eggs
wanted for Matching. There is abso-
lutel y no need in the ROSTERS fer
tlilzlng the eggs of all the hens,
WIen smaller number will answer
all purposes. = Remember that fertil-
!zed eggs will not keep nearly as
long as will unfertilized eggs.
More often than w think, it is
best to kill ROSTERS in order to get
them out of the way. Fewer are
needed than most of us realize. es-
peclally where egg production for
rooster. is beyond his usefulness, dis
pose of him.

Plan World Standard
For American Cotton
Adjoining Conference

A strong effort to secure the adop-
ton Of single set of standards for
the world trade in American cotton
will be made at the world cotton con-
ference which will be held in Liver
pool and Manchester. England, June
J3 to %. The representatives Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Mr. Chester Morrill,, assist
AIT chief of the bureau OF markets,
and Mr.. William r. Meadows, head
OF the cotton division of that bureau,
will attend the sessions of the con-
ference. Mr.. Meadows will address
the meeting on the subject of "Uni-
versal Standards for American Cot
ton"
1t is thought by officials of the
department that both the present
time and the place of meeting are
propituOus for accomplishing the
end in view. because the entire cot
ton industry. from grower to manu-
facturer, will be represented; all
phases of cotton marketing will be
discussed, and suggestion made for
improvements in marketing. The
dominance of the Liverpool Cotton
Exchange in the cotton trade is
looked upon as another important
factor to be consulted in the esta b.
lishment of worldwide standards for
cotton. The exact method by which
the standards will be determined
upon, it is said, can not now be
forecast, but any action taken, so far
as the United States is concerned,

Single Stalk Method
In Planting Cotton
Yields Good Results

Reports received by the United
states department of Agriculture
mails indicate Widespread adoption
and profitable results from the close
spacing system of cotton planting,
generally referred to as the single
stalk method. This method, which
was. developed by department spe-
principle of suppressing the vegeta-
tive, Iate-fruiting branches of the
cotton plants, giving more room and
light to the fruiting branches which
pear the early crop of cotton bolls.
In 1911 the department announced
a discovery which has affected the
cultivation of other crops and is of
vital Importance to the cotton-grow
ing industry, when it showed that
several cultivated plants, including
cotton, have two distinct set of
branches. The branches that develop
first from the lower joints of the
main stalk of cotton plant and at
tain greatest growth are purely Vege-
tatlve and function as secondary
stalks instead OF bearing fruit. AS a
means Of restricting these branches
peter facility for growth, it was
round that close spacing in the rows
with plants chopped" only a hoe
width apart kept the lower branches
from developing to the detriment of
the upper. Very early chopping is
not advised under the. single-stalk
system, preferably waiting until the
plants are at least five or six inches
tall, Some of the farmers leave two
or three plants in hills" twelve or
hfteen inches apart. In addition to
producing larger yield. the new
system favors earlier fruiting and
enables growers to get their cotton
matured in time to forestall boil wee
vii damage. Some farmers report
increased yields of from 25 to 1875
per cent

No BIRTHS, DEATHS
Or DOGS PERMITTED

deaths, no dogs, is the rule on the
sacred island of Miyajima, in the
Inland Sea of Japan, says a writer
in the London Daily Mail. With the
trifling exceptions of entering the
world, leaving it, or starting a ken
nell. you may do practically what
you chose there.

dating far back into history, forbid

The Golden Rule

Most of us have about all the
chickens we will try to raise this
spring, and we are realizing that
chicken that is three months old
requires more feed than even a lay
ing hen. Are we living up to our
conviction, or are we just trying to
fool ourselves by saying that they are
old enough to find their own living?

pint cup and threw out a bit of feed
with that and when her husband got
out of sight she gave them what
they needed. The trouble was that
he sometimes hung around the house
Such men are generally gluttons.
and see that they have enough. I
never have reconciled my conscience
to any such ways of living. She ar
gued that she was not stealing, that
she worked a.; hard as he did and
what was there was as much hers
as his. Some people said that she
a right to it all. I know nothing
about that. Her reason was that she
hated a fuss and it was easier to
get it when his back was turned
than to listen to what he would
say. ] leave it. with you, and am glad
that God judges such people instead
of us.
But one thing is certain. We can
not raise chickens, pigs nor calves
and make anything out of them un-
less they have enough to sustain life
and surplus to use for growth. And
feed alone is not sufficient. There
must be plenty of clean. cool water
All the feed in the world will not
amount to half ration unless there
is plenty of water to assist, and to
furnish the digestive Juices, and the
bodily seCretions. 1t is penny wise.
pound foolish, to waste good corn
and be too trifling to furnish the
water. And right here 1 want to ask
you what sort of ARRANGEMENT have
you for your hens to get water? IF
they are not laying, that may be the
reason. You know that the egg is
a least two-thirds water, and where
are they to get it if you do not fur
nish it for them?
Of course, if you are the sort that
is afraid of trouble and expects the
hen to lay whether you do your part
or not, you will sit up and abuse
them and talk about people who try
to have fine stock. I hope that there
are not many of that sort among
the readers Of these pages. If so,

your stock as you do unto yourself

nuts, it is important to remember
that lime in some form should be ap-
piled to the land. Finely ground raw
rock will answer well for this pur-
pose. You may also use ground
oyster shells. The biting or burned
lime is to expensive to use. One
thousand pounds of lime per acre
should be put on after the ground
has been prepared or before it has
been laid off for planting. Peanuts
should be we'll fortified with phos-
phoric acid and potash. Two hun
bred pounds of high grade acid and
100 pounds of kainit will do fairly
we'll. This would not be regarded
as heavy fertilization for this crop.
You may grow quite number of
varieties of peanuts such as the
bunch or running. For general cul-
tivation we think the White Spanish
is the best variety. 1t yields a good
quality of fine oil. 1t is an excel
lent nut for crushing, and, as a mat
ter of fact, the oil should be extract
ed from this crop before 1T is fed.

about equal size. On the first of
these you had best plant millet or
sorghum and peas. On the next
area we would plant early corn ana
peas or peanuts. On the third area
sweet potatoes and on the fourth
area corn and velvet beans. Planting
may begin March il if seasonal con-
ditions are favorable. Get all the
crops in the ground as soon as pos

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For May 20. Luke 10: 1851. Acts 2: 44-47
BY DIR. MARION MIL HULL

When Jesus comes into his heart,
a wonderful change comes about, and
he becomes new CreatiOn-Old
things have passed away, and all
things have become new.
ON, This ior vas Ct the "a plan followed by
cover Jesus never dealt with the
community, but with individuals.
And experience has proven that the
soul of all improvement is the ina
clean up a red-light district and
just scatter vice; but when you get
a man or a poor fallen woman in
vital touch with Jesus Christ-vice
ceases to be an issue with such an
one. If; you want to make your
one to saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ and the dangers of the I'M
Christian neighborhood will disap-
pear.
The Means
Shall j go to every one? Is it my
duty to speak to every man l meet
about his relationship to Jesus
Christ? Just because a man lives
in the house adjoining mine-is that
a reason why L must ask him if he
is saved?
Anything that is forced is not ac-
cOrding to Gods Spirit. But in the
course of your conversation with
MIN about everything in the heavens
above and the earth beneath you can
speak just as naturally and as easily
about your Friend as about any
other topic; and he will feel the
warmth of your heart against his,
and respond-it will not be hard to
bring him in that way to know and
live the Lover of his soul and to
serve Him.
The Christians job is not world
mending, however, much that may
be needed, but personal witnessing
to the great God and Savious, Jesus
Christ. This Witnessing requires all
you have got. 1t took the Samari-
tan's eyes, heart, hands, feet, mule
and. money. Some think that Jesus
was just giving US a photograph of
Himself in that story. Certain it is
that He gave all He had to prove
Himself our best Neighbor in our
dire need.
The Motive
The story is told of a young girl
who started out in her social life
as a WallfloWer; no one paid her any
attention at all, and who afterwards
became the most popular girl in the
town. When asked the reason of
her popularity and how it came
about, she just replied, "Everybody's
lonesome"
And as little as you may think it,
it is absolutely true about those who
do not know Jesus Christ. Every
DOuy lonesome VINO mas not lOund
Him as a Friend and Saviour. They
may not realize it; they may not
know why they are running after
this and that worldly pleasure which
does not satisfy at all, which is
sweet for the moment but bitter
afterwards. The real reason is be-
cause they are lonesome without
Jesus Christ Won't you be a real
neighbor to them?
This neighbor business, too, is the
great leveller. You can never be a
neighbor to the man upon whom you
look down with condescension, nor to
the one to whom you look up with
awe. There are none so high that
they do, not need Jesus Christ, nor
none so low that He cannot reach
and lift them.
What are you doing to make your
neighborhood Christian? What are
you going to do?
