We are informed by Mr. s. A.
Vaughan that he has since January
first, shipped three ears of Lespedeza
hay to lndianolia, Miss, and also one
to Fayette, Ala, and has received
more orders than he can fill. Mr.
Vaughan states that his hay crop
brought him more money than a thir-
teen mule crop brought last year.
The land planted in hay brought him
fifty dollars an acre cash, with prac-
tically no labor. Now what Mr.
Vaughan is doing can be done by all
our farmers if they will only try. He
is also an enthusiastic Farm Bureau
worker, he says it is the future hope
of the farmer. He also states that
every farmer should become a mem
Der. He is booster of the right sort
to make things hum.
This balmy weather makes fell
low think of fishing. 1t is almost an
irresistible impulse to go out in the
fence corner and dig up red earth
worms and get out the fishing pole,
hooks, line and hike out to the nearest
stream, regardless of all business en-
gagements. There is nothing that APP
peals to a fellow more than fishing on
the beautiful Buttahatchie.
