Farm Bureau VS.. County Agents
More Economic Administration
Wanted.

First, must say that believe in
better Lincoln County.
1 think some expensive things
could be eliminated or in part any,
way.
Taxes are now very high and are
apt to stay that way for some time.
Why not eliminate some of the ex-
pense and lower the tax rate?
The farming people of the county
can get all the literature they need
concerning their work from the De-
partment of Agriculture free of
charge. They do not have to have
County Demonstration Agent to
send for it, and then read it to them.
Each farmer knows the nature of
his land best and does not need some
high paid employe to tell him when
to plant his crops.
What he needs is a ready market
for what he grows. If there is a
market for his produce he will grow
it.
The farmers now have organized a
worth while. And through the Farm
Bureau the farmers can buy and sell
to their profit.
They have selected a man of much
experience as their buying and sell
ing agent. This as 1 see it, entirely
eliminates the need of County DEM
onstration Agent.
The women and girls 16 and over
in good old Lincoln can also cook
and can their fruits without having
an extra hired person to give them
recipes.
Give them something to cook and
can and they will prepare 1T so that
''The more you eat the more you
want" Cooking recipes can be OBJ
tained free of charge.
/ think the Board of Supervisors
should get the consent of the ma
jority of the voters before contract
ing again with the County Agents.
I would be glad to hear from. 9TH
ers regarding this matter.
Speak up now or forever be silent
A Voter.
On the principle that the Leader is
the forum of the people we are pub
fishing the above. We would rather
see man make a mistake and show
his interest in public affairs than see
him SO Indifferent to the peoples in
terests as never to lift his hand OF
his pen to their defense. The pa
per is open to any, legitimate OF
reasonable discussion of public .af-
fairs especially just now as they re-
late to the burden Of taxation under
which our people are bowed down.

Furniture Down 4s Per Cent Say
Federal Agents.

Furniture had dropped more than
any other article except food and
was only / percent higher than June
IA, according to the Federal Reserve
Agents of New York City, says the
July issue of the Grand Rapids Fur
niture Record, the leading retail fur
niture magazine of the country.
At the July markets held in Grand
Rapids, Chicago and High Point, N,
c.. during July, furniture prices
reached the lowest level in five years,
dropping back to almost pre-war fig
ures. 1t is doubtful, says The Re-
cord, whether furniture will remain
at this level as lumber is advancing
and other materials have reached
rock bottom and are bound to re-
bound to some extent. Furniture

Jackson Dedicates
Enochs High School

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 19.-The cit
izens of Jackson dedicated the "I. C.
Enochs Junior High School" near
Poindexter Park, today. The de-
dicatory address was made by Pres
ident Jack" Hardy of Baylor Col
lege, Tex.
The Enochs Junior High School
has recently tbeen completed at cost
of about $300. 900. The plans were
drawn by Emmett J. Hull, an aehi-
tect of statewide reputation.
There are now eight magnificent
brick school houses here in which
the taxpayers of Jackson have in
vested millions;- The jefferson Da-
Wis School, the Robert E. Lee, the j.
7. George, the Poindexter, the Gallo
way, the ]. l.. Power, the T. P. Barr,
the Central High and the Enochs Ju-
nior High. In addition to these
there are also two brick public
school houses for negro children of
Jackson and another. will be built
in the near future.
The Jackson county board of SUI
pervisors has notified the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board that it will
spend no more money on cattle tick
eradication in all that territory ly-
ing west of the Pascagoula river. "
The board states that the county of
Jackson has already expended $780,
302 in this work and seem to get no
where, SO far as results are concern
ed
The people of the county do not
seem to cooperate with the authori-
ties, and. says one member of the
board in writing to the Sanitary
Board: there are too many bosses
and they are pulling in opposite di-
rections. This means, no doubt, that
quarantine line will be establish
Led, as has been done in the other
counties where efforts to eradicate
ticks have been discontinued.

with when it meets early next year
l. the matter of redistricting Missis-

sissippi of one con ngressman in the

comes effective next year.
