New and Original
Dance Music

1t will take about two bars for any
listener to recognize in Gust Snap
Your Fingers at Care, Darling" and
"Caresses" as they sound on February
Victor Record, the playing of Paul
Whiteman and His Ambassador Or
chestra. 1t will take about two beats
to pick up the step, and the rest of the
evening 70 dance it Of The first of
these two medley fox-trots is full of
character and vividness. The second.
smooth, tender, almost cooling
tons of instruments.
Not long ago Nine. Frances Aida
sang waltz song-one .of the most
beautiful that has come across the
waters in resent years. 1t is arranged
as a dance pure and simple in IF You
Could Care" Medley Waltz, Victor
Record of which even Joseph c.
Smiths world-famous orchestra may
well be proud. Happy played by the
same orchestra with its usual perfec-
ton, one-step of startling effects,
goes at full speed to a tremendous
finish.
My Isle of Golden Dreams" gets
creepy, shivery moonlight colorings
from the Blue and White Marimba
Band. You have heard this waltz be-
fore, but on the marimba, it will sur
prise and delight you as much as
totally new dance 1t is backed by "Let
the Rest of the World Go By" which
Ferera and Franchini play in the wall
ing measures of the Hawaiian guitar.
A jolly fox trot by the All Star Trio
is Twelfth Street Rag" AT the first
note your shoulders will begin to rock
and your feet to count four. "Dotty
Dimples," a one-step, is not merely
played but also composed by the Trio.
1t is heard only on this Victor Record,
and has not yet been published. 1t has
anew sort of lively, snappy super-jazz
that draws electricity out Of the floor.
The Six Brown Brothers with their
.saxophones running from the squealing
"sopranino" to the "contrabass" that
would make bullfrog hide its head,
rollick through both faces of Victor
Record in two fox trots, Wonderful
Girl, Wonderful Boy" and IF Wish
Could Make It So" You will think to
hear them that not six but hundred
instruments are bubbling over with life
and drollery. But as dances, these are
first class, A one, xxx. fine stuff.
These Victor Records include the
best music for every taste and every
purpose. If you have Victrola, you
will understand what world of en-
joyment this months offering contains.
Whether you have Victrola or not,
any Victor dealer will be glad to play
for you whichever records of this list
you are interested in. They are all
worthy of your interest.

MANY COME FOR
FIRST INFORMATION.

Agricultural College, Miss, Jan. 81.
There has been no greater or keener
pleasure or qualification experienced
by any of the department heads or
attaches at the A. and M. College than
to receive visitors from citizens of the
state who come specially from their
homes to the college for first-hand IN
formation. Professor E. P. Clapton,
of the poultry department, Professor
j. S. Moore, of dairying, Professor
R. w. Hamed, of the chronological
division, as well as members Of the
horticultural staff, were kept busy the
past week in giving information to an
interested group of visiting ladies'
from Noxubee county.
The party, all residents of Brooks
vile, included Mrs. Clara Mcdonald,
Mrs. B. F. Quinn, Mrs. Ed Million and
Miss Bette Smith, who came for pur-
poses of study and seeking informa-
ton that they need.
AS stated by Professor Clayton:
1--WE have lots of visitors during the
year, but most of them from a dis
lance, who come by train. These
ladies came by automobile, and it
would be gratifying if other people
as near at hand would adopt the same
course"
1t is a noteworthy fact that in the
territory Immediately adjacent to the
Agricultural College and its complete
and up to the moment experiment
station plants, there is less apparent
interest shown by farmers and stock
raisers than by those hundred miles
or more distant. This college is the
power house which generates the
spirit and essence of better and more
effective and sensible farming and
farm management which is permeat-
ing the state, which is building up
the farm bureau spirit in Mississippi.
AS declared by DIR. d. G. Hull,
president of the college, in an address
to extension workers; "This is our day
of opportunity; time that requires
and demands the-very best that is i'm
us, that we may stand four squart to
the people whom we are here to
serve. Great and effective as our
achievements have been in the past,
still greater work and opportunity
lives before u.s., and it is for US to, go
to it, and show that we are worthy of
the trustawhich is reposed in us"
AS stated above it is intensely graf
flying to these plodders and workers
to receive visitors from among the
very class they are working to aid and
assist, and they. would be glad to see
still more of those people residing in
counties where no agents of the ex-
tension service are employed.
1t is true that Of the counties coa-
tiguous, to Oktibbeha, which is the
A. and M. College seat, the taxpayers
provide for the employment Of county
farm and home demonstration agents,
all of the specially trained to extend
the college work. Oktibbeha has a
live. county agent, as has also
Lowndes, Winston, Webster and At
tala, who are doing effective work in
developing general diversified crops
and stock production, soil building and /
pasturing and are fully worth the
peoples money which they are receiv-
ing for their services. These young
rnea received their instruction at this T
college, to which they are a credit.

county AGENTS DOING
GOOD WORK IN STATE

Agricultural College, Jan. 22-
Some comprehensive insight into the
volume of work which may be handled
by county agent for cooperative
farm demonstration work may be
gained by a study of such reports as
ire filed with. county boards of super
visors and at extension headquarters
During the past few weeks, at the
annual group meetings by districts
which have been held, some instruct
i've data have been added to the gen.
eral volume of such information.
Calhoun County is one of the most
typically rural of the North-Central
brown loan group, with les than 10
miles of railroad line within it's linn
it's. This county is fortunate in hav-
ing as its extension demonstration, Mr.
Z. S. Mitchell, who is domiciled at
Calhoun City one of the county seats.
In summarizing his activities, Mr..
Mitchell reported to his supervisors
IN terse, statistical terms as follows:

a few demonstrations were conducted

lose money in purchasing fertilizer.

j assaults of our enemies. We challenge
friend and foe alike to Snow that there
is any essential inaccuracy contained
in these statistics. They are based up
on the highest statistical authority
that we know of, to-wit, the U. S. Cen
sus Bureau, U. S. Department of Ag-
ricultufe, and statements issued by
Col. Henry G. Hester, of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, who fol
fifty years has been al unquestlon-
ed authority on the subject of cotton.
U. S. Government figures show 81
1862 bales of cotton, including
S6S,S97 linters on hand in the United
States at July 81, 1919. There was at
that date, $4,000 bales of American
cotton at Liverpool, $4,000 bales at
Manchester, $4,000 bales at various
places on the continent, 3S7017 bales
afloat and 3,25S bales exported on
that date, but included in neither the
amount afloat nor in port stocks, and
100000 bales in Japan and other parts
of the world not otherwise counted.
This makes total Of 6,840,957 bales
of American cotton unspun at July
81, 1919. Colonel Hester made it at
the same date, that is, July 81, 1919,
6,844 900 bales American cotton.
The governments figures to July
81, 1920 were not out at that date,
January 10, 1921, when this was writ
ten, but will porbably be out one day
during the month. Colonel Testers
figures made the amount at July 81,
1920, 6,086,000 bales American in all
positions throughout the world.
Now to ascertain the prospective
carry-over at this date, it is only
necessary for us to know the size of
the crop, the amount Of cotton that
has come in sight since August /, and
the. visible supply, and to apply these
figures to the amount of cotton that
was on hand at August /, 1920, the
first day of our fiscal year which ends
July 81, 1921.
The amount in sight compared with
last year has decreased, therefore it
must be added and this amount to the
end of last week, was 1,794 900 bales.
The visible supply has decreased and
cAiCACloIc IiluSI Uc ucQuCtCu, 6tllu ILLS
amount in round numbers is $1,000
bales. This crop, according to the
Governments estimate is 1861, 900
bales larger than last years crop.
Therefore this amount is to be added.
We add 6,0S6,OO0, 1874, 900, 1862, 900
and deduct $1,000 bales, and we have
approximately 9,5O0,00 bales which
is a prospective carry-over at July 81,
1921. This prospective carry-over is
growing daily, and will continue to do
so, until the mills become more active.
Approximately half of the fiscal year
is gone. We may have a carry-over
much in excess of 100000 bales.
It all depends upon how the mills get
to spinning again and whether or not
they spin capacity.
There is little if any possibility that
the present prospective carry-over can
be decreased.

production. These records are splen-
did dramatic Interpretation of probably
the greatest love scene in all literature.
Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet,
although their families are bitter en-
emies with a blood-feud generations
old. AT the risk of his life. Romeo
makes his way into the garden beneath
her balcony, where Juliet has come
alone after the nights festivities. He
hears her, oblivious of his presence,
.avow the newly awakened love that is
to exalt them to the topmost pinnacfes
of being. Echoes of the departing
jewellers, and touch of the music
from Gounod's opera Romeo ct Juliet"
lend subtle atmosphere to this scene
of which Sothern and Marlowe are the
greatest living interpreters.
S. A contrast of strong, ringing, mascu-
line clearness of tone in slow move
ment, and intrepid accuracy of playing
!. in a swift and brilliant one, may he
heard in the new Victor Record "Sici1-
fienne and Rigaudon," by Jascha Heifetz.
The Sicilienne is a dance of antique
dignity, the Rigaudon furious, whirl-
ing rhythm like hornpipe gone mad.
Those who love music, and dwell upon
its workings in the soul of humanity
will find new sources of wonder in
this Heifetz record.
"The Fountain (Jeux d Eau)" is a
poetic and fanciful composition. The
keys melt under Cortot's fingers into
a melody which, like the fountain rises
signing toward the heavens, to fall back
in myriad glittering drops, gurgling.
FLASHING like half-heard bells. The pool
is disturbed by passing. wind, its
waters shivered into mist and the sur
face blown into ridges and waves. Then
the wind dies down, the pool grows
calm, the fountain plays 1on almost
silently, as if by moonlight. This
Victor Record attains rare degree of
musical perfection.

Rape for Hogs.

Dwarf Essex rape makes fine pas
ture for hogs. On rich land there is
no other crop that comes as soon and
furnishes as much pasture for hogs as
rape. A small area of land in rape
will be worth much to you for hog
pasture.
Chickens are very fond of rape in
fall and winter. Your layers will SUR
prise you if you will have rape for
them and supplement this with grain.
Cattle and sheep also like rape but
some care must be used as rape will
sometimes bloat cattle or sheep if
grazed while the rape is wet or if
turned on when very hungry and al
lowed to eat too much.
Sow Dwarf Essex rape and time
during the fall on good soil. The seeds
are very small and cheap. Three or
four pounds will plant an acre. Sow
like you plant turnips.-Farm and

"Enough is a Plenty"

Manufacturers are very careful
not to glut the market. Should they,
by any chance, produce more than
the markets of the world can readily
absorb, they reduce production, and
sometimes close their factories for
periods of varying lengths. Frequent
ly this is done on the plea that it is
necessary to overhaul the machinery,
or to re-equip, but it is noticeable
that such occasions of necessity never
arise when the demand is good and
prices ruling high.
Farmers and livestock breeders have
over-produced. Considering the de-
mand for their products and the
prices offered, they have surplus of
foodstuffs and meats, even though
worlds statistics would indicate a
shortage in some lines. That being
