TWO KINDS OF JOURNALISM

For years 1T has been a favorite
amusement OF the large city dailies
to refer to the local news contained
in the country press as ''small-towD
stuff"
1t pleases the city dweller to read
1t at bis breakfast table.
1t emphasizes the superiority of
metropolitan wisdom"
And we OF the country press are
content to let it go at that with d
passing word or two of comment.
The ''small-town stuff" which fur
nishes so much amusement to our
city friends may be homely in it's
phraseology-it may be unimpor-
tant as compared to the vital affairs
of the world-but it possesses the
merit Of being the truth.
The average country publisher does
not resort to representation and
sensationalism in the columns of mis-
paper. His news articles and items
are composed of facts as he finds
them, and they are not doctored or
colored for the purpose of pleasing
any class or faction, or for the build
ing up OF huge subscription list.
When he takes u stand editorially
on any public question, be 1T local,
state or national, he has in view the
welfare of the people as a whole, and
not the interest of some political
faction or machine.
His columns may not contain an
overplus OF news, but. such as there
is may be read with perfect safety
by the growing children of the COM
munity without parental fear OF in
stilling questionable thoughts and
desires in their budding minds.
His paper may he small, and pro-
vincial, but it is clean.
The reader is never at a loss to
know whether or not q statement
made by the editor is based upon
fact. or whether it is composed prin-
cipally of what is COMMONLY known
as newspaper bunk"
The publisher OF any big city daily
who can legitimately and truthfully
say as much for his own paper is at
liberty to anuse himself at our ex-
pense to his hearts content.
1t will be viewed by us in a spirit
Of fellowship and hrotherly Iowa.

An "f" For Girls.

If you can dress to make yourself at
tractive,
Yet not make puffs and curls your
chief delight:
and active,
But of the gentler grace lose not
sight,
If you can dance without craze for
dancing,
Play without giving play too
strong a hold,
Enjoy the love of friends without ro-
mancing,
Care for the weak, the friendless
and the old;
If you can master French and Greek
and Latin,
And not acquire, as well, a prig-
gish mien;
If you can feel the touch OF silk and
satin
Without despising calico and jean;
II you can ply saw and use ham
mer,
Can do a mans work when the
need occurs,
Can sing. when asked, without ex-
cuse or stammer,
Can rise above unfriendly snubs
and slurs;
If you can make good bread, as well
as Judges,
Can sew with skill and have an
eye for dust;
If you can be friend and hold no
grudges,
A girl whom all will love because
they must;
If some time you should meet and
love another
And make home with faith and
peace enshrined
And you it's soul--a loyal wife and
mother
You'll work out pretty nearly to
my mind
The plan that's been developed thIu
the ages.
And win the best that life can have
in store,
You'll be, my girl, model for the
sages,
A woman whom the world will
bow before. Elizabeth Otis.

ASK THE SOIL

Sometimes little knowledge is q
disturbing thing. There are many
farmers who feel that II their soil
were analyzed they could tell what
to put on 1t In the way OF fertilizers
and thus make better crops. The De-
partment of Agriculture OF Virginia
says some wise words on this topic
1.-The chemist" says this statement,
''can tell what amount ofingredients
the soil contains, but he cannot tell
how much is soluble--that is how
much will be dissolved In the soil
water, and this is the Information
the farmer desires to know. The De-
partmeDt OF Agriculture at Washing
ton abandoned the chemical analy-
sis of the soil on this account some
time ago"
Until we make further progress.
the plant is the only thing that can
tell the farmer how much of the ele-
nents OF fertility in the soil dissolves
In the soil water and becomes useful
to vegetation. Almost all our soils
contain potash and phosphoric acid.
and of course most OF them contain
nitrogen. Sulphur Is also present,
and additions to this supply descend
In rains. All vegetable matter con.
tains nitrogen, which is liberated as
it decays. An acid called humic acid
is formed from decaying vegetable
matter and helps to dissolve the
phosphorus. All the clovevs, includ-
alfalfa and sweet clover, contain
much nitrogen. Hence the impOr-
tance of green and stable manures..
The motto OF the farmer should be,
when he wants to know what his
farm needs, "Ask the soil''; and the
growing plant will answer. Some
good farmers maintain test plots on
their farms. on which they SOW, say
on seven plots, respectively: Nitro
gen, nitrogen and phosphates, nitro
gen and potash, nitrogen, phos-
pilates aud potash, potash, phos-
pilates; and In the seventh plot no
fertilizer. This is particular job
when the area is carefully measured
and the yield accurately calculated,
but those who do 1t are often con-
vinced that 1t pays. 1t ought To do
away with the shotgun method of
fertilizing, under which we buy ferti-
lizers and apply them without know
ing what the plants are asking for,
especially during this period of high
prices. Experience is the only sure
teacher, and experience is not worth
much unless we have the data.
One farmer, we know OF, had q
piece Of ground which he. tried in
every way to iertilize, even to heavy
lining. Finally he found out that it
was mari bed, and was about 75
per cent lime. He quit farming 1t and
began selling 1t to his neighbors by
the ton to take the place OF lime. In
this case chemical analysis was
what made him wise, but In most
cases It is OF little value.

FALL IRISH POTATOES

The initial cost OF making an Irish
potato crop, that is, the purchase OF
seed and fertilizer, IL somewhat great
er than is the cost Of some other
Mississippi crops, and is the factor
In limiting the acreage. In order to
keep the expense ut minimum, the
grower who expects to make an
early crop next spring should put In
an acreage this fall that will not only
supply the local markets but insure
sufficient seed for the spring crop.
Some OF the most successful potato
growers of the state have found that
good home grown seed have given
All increased yield as well as a cheap
source of seed supply.
The fall crop should be planted the
latter part of July or first OF August.
Thorough preparation OF the seed
bed to conserve moisture and the
pre-sproutiDg OF seed are two essen
tials for obtaining a good stand.
This sprouting can be accomplished
by putting the potatoes In a cool.
damp place, or by spreading them in
the shade and keeping them covered
with damp straw. The seed or seed
pieces should be planted deep and
the planting done on cloudy day
or late in the afternoon, so that the
burrows and seed pieces will not be
exposed to the heat OF the sun. Just
before the sprouts break through, a
section harrow should be run dag
onally across the rows to break the
crust and reduce the height of the
row.

ALVIN c. ADAMS KILLED
HORSE RUNS AWAY WITH BUGGY.
SON OF FORMER MEMBER or COUNTY BOARD.

Alvin g. Adams, age Sc, who lived
with his mother, Mrs. Ella Adams,
In Beat three, was accidentally killed
when the horse he was driving ran
away with him Friday afternoon.
Alvin Adams had gone to his sis-
ter's home, Mrs. Onie Adams, to get
buggy that his brother, Sam
Adams, had left there few days be-
fore. 1t was his intention to go to
Philadelphia Saturday morning. His
sister lives about two and one hall
miles from his home. The accident
occurred within a quarter OF a mile
OF his home. The horse returned
home without the buggy. His sister,
Ethel Adams, was there alone. sus-
pected that something had happened
and went in search Of him. He was
found In pool OF blood. No doubt
death was instantaneous as his skull
was crushed, his chin broken and an
examina tion showed that his neck
was dislocated. The buggy was
found near the tree.
1t is suspected that the horse be-
came frightened wllenit turned down
u slope near the place where Mr..
Adams was thrown from the buggy.
The buggy was jerked out OF the
road into IL pine tree, and the tree
gave Indications that he was thrown
against it, about six feet from the
ground. There was bark imbedded
In his face and right eye. He was
alone at the time; no one witnessed
the tragedy.
He was buried at the Old Antiock
cemetery Saturday morning. Rev.
Eugene Stephens. OF Meridian, who
was playmate and life long friend
of Alyin's, conducted the funeral ser
vices, and paid a glowing tAibute to
his friend whom he had known so
long and found SO faithful.
Alvin Adams planned to go to the
Agricultural aud Mechanical College
the last of August to take up special
work to fit him for position In
teaching agriculture under the Smith.
Lever act OF Congress. He thought
it was likely that he would teach
next year at Pascagoula. He taught
last year at Liberty School In Win.
ston County. He graduated from the
State A. & NJ. College In the class OF
1910. He taught agriculture for
year In Oklahoma, and taught In the
dairying department for yearin an
agricultural school In Louisiana.
His father, Mr.. Francis Adams. men,
Der of the Board OF Supervisors, died,
and he came home, and stayed with
his mother on the farm until last
year. He was well known In Nesho-
ba County, and has many friends to
mourn his loss.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Ella Adams, his brother, Sam Adams
and three sisters; Mrs. Onie Adams,
Mrs. May Crawford and Miss Ethel
Adams.
