What of 1921?

Planting time has about ar
rived. Conventions and asso-
Citations have met and discussed
conditions and remedies. Reso-
buttons have been passed and
most farmers have been asked
10 reduce their cotton acreage
this year. What is to be the
Fesult?
Now, as always, Safe and
Sane farming is the better plan.
The farm is a place where
things to eat and iced on are
grown. It has never been good
policy to buy that which can
be grown at home. The farmer
Is the only man who can
live unto himself. Others must
depend upon markets to buy
what they need, but a Missis-
sippi farmer can live at hon e
and board at the same place if
he only will.
Cotton will always be the big
money crop in this part of the
world. But this does not mean
that it should be the only money
crop. Then, too, it is not wise
to think too much about money.
A living is the first considera-
ton, or should be, with all far
mers. 1t is wise to grow all the
food and feed on thes farm that
will be need ed and what money

Some weeks ago the Hinds County
Gazette observed that Mississippi his
tory seemed to be repeating itself;
that the lamentsd Writ Adams, who a.
state revenue agent, through the
courts, forced corporate tax dodgers
and violators Of the antitrust laws to
cough up to the tune Of millions OF
dollars, thereby lessening the bur.
dens Of honest taxpayers, was abused
and slandered. just as Stokes Robert
son, the present state revenue agent,
Is being abused and slandered by GER
tain newspapers Of corporate ilk,s led
by that insolent organ of bloated splu-
tocracy, the Wall Street Journal Of
T New York gCity-the paper that de-
nounced, in this connection, the laws
Of Mississippi as fool laws" char
acterized the statesmen who passed
them as Ignorant" stigmatized the
efforts Of a sworn state official to
have the courts enforce them as
"bolshevistic," and brazenly demands
their repeal" Corporation newspar
pers, twenty-five years ago, literally
prosecuted State Revenue Agent
Adams into an official life tenure;
made him so popular with the great
taxpaying masses-"who loved him
for the enemies he had made"--that
no man had the hardihood to contest
nominations with Mr.. Adams, who
died in the revenue agents Office in
1914, honored and revered by the peO-
pie as a public benefactor.
The courts-and "for justice ali
places a temple and seasons summer"
sustained Revenue Agent Adams,
Just as they are sustaining Revenue
Agent Robertson, and we sincerely
hope that the expectations of the
esteemed Beacon "that certain news
papers will now open their flood gates
of abuse on the courts as they have
done on Revenue Agent Robertson"
will not materialize. The people Of
Mississippi elect their Judges and
Chancellors and AN attack on the
courts by newspapers would be an at
tack on the sovereign people.
In this connection the following
time honored quotation seems not In
appropriate;
"Here shall the press the peoples
rights maintain;
Unawed by influence and unbribed By
gain; a
Here patriot truth her glorious pre-
cepts draw;
Pledged to religion, liberty and law"

Sharing Prosperity

Farmers in the vicinity Of Orchard Nebraska formed
cooperatve association and marketed $147 800 worth
of their products in ten weeks.
The next time the farmers assembled at Orchard
local merchant hired orchestra for their entertain
ment. Why? Because his business had increased
fourfold since the cooperative association began OPP
erations. The town had become popular trading
point and the farmers had more money to spend there.
The city speculator got no share Of the profits.

The Times learns with pleasure
that the work on the Methodist col
lege is progressing satisfactorily, In
the Chamber OF Commerce and on
the outside. Rev. j. w. Hunt does
not know the meaning OF the word
failure" and the Times editor
knows now why it was commonly
said some few months ago that "if
IL can be done Rev. Hunt will put 1t
over" After having met the man
and the results of his work has been
noticed, we do not wonder that the
people have so much confidence In
his ability. He will put 1t over, In
fact, the biggest problems have al
ready been solved. Getting people
to have confidence in the success OF
a proposition is one OF the greatest
problems, and this Rev. Hunt has
done Abilene Is just as sure to have

tinue to rise and set, during the time

Rev. J. w. Hunt will put 1t over
you needn't doubt that. He may
sweat blood and there may be many
difficulties to overcome, but they will
be overcome and the Methodist col
lege will be built. Rev. Hunt built
church at Snyder during drouth,
war and every oth.r obstacle. We
all thought 1t impossible, but he put
it over. So we feel competent in pre-
dieting the outcome of the college.

Independent AA iiool districts in
Texas ar = free to levy whatever
tax its Property taxpayers may elect.
This has been made possible by adop-
ton OF the amendment to the con-
stitution. popularity known as the
school amendment" which removed
the barrier of a 50-cent limit on the
500 valuation for school purposes.
The desirability OF this amendment
cannot be questioned. Practically
every school district in the state has
a deficiency at the close OF every
term. In Slaton the assessed values
have been increased in an effort to
meet this deficiency, yet It has never
been a satisfactory solution.
An election viii soon be held to
determine whether or not the Slaton
school district shall raise the tax rate
to one dollar on the 500 valuation.
There Is little doubt but that 1t will
carry by a large majority, as we be-
lieve that our citizenship is a most
progressive one. Good schools and
progress go han din hand.-Slaton
Slatonite.
The Snyder people will no doubt
be called upon to vote on raising the
tax rate. The Signal hopes that the
people looks upon this in business
like way. Get all the information
possible and then we feel sure that
the people of Snyder will not fall
short of voting tax sufficient to
maintain a school, the kind that we
will have.

ROUMANIAN RELIEF.

Cross relief ship. is seen entering the
Danube and unloading over 5,OOO,-
900 pounds OF supplies at the dock
at Galatz. The population turns
out with an enthusiastic welcome FOR
this ship which is quickly relieved Of
its supplies. They are distributed
out over the war-stricken area within
ten days after unloading; even little
villages off the main line of travel
receive their suotas of food and
clothing which are brought to them
in OK carts.
Thousands OF children are fed ev-
cry day by the Red Cross, as well as
being given homes in Red Cross nur-
series and receiving medical atten-
ton. Long lines OF starving and
ragged men, women and children
wait at the relief stations for the
food and clothing contributed by the
American people
This picture is one which will 'ap-

more money Is needed.

Farmers, you have an excellent
chance this year to make small
grain crop. Keep your livestock out
of the growing crop during the wet
weather and watch carefully that
they are taken off in plenty of time
that you do noe pasture too close.
Wheat and oats will bring you mon
ey in midsummer when you need it.
Pull out the old binders and mowers
and look them over carefully to see
what is needed and have arrange
ments made for threshing In plenty
of time so that your grain will not
ruin. Place your orders for binder

grain left to ruin last year for want

What Is the Trouble With

This is a question being asked by
great many farmers and business
men, states Mr.. C. NJ. Evans of the A.
& NJ. Live Stock and Dairy extension
service. AS nearly as the answer
can be boiled down, There are al
most 1876, 900 farms in Texas without
a COW, about the same number with
out a hog, more than 100000 with
out a hen and as many that have
never raised a garden" These facts
cause us to have but one pay day n
year-cotton pay day.
How can any country prosper that
works for whole year with but one
pay day, and then does not know If
any money will be forthcoming or
not?

FEED AND CARE OF
EARLY CHICKS

F. w. Kazmeier, Poultry Husband
man, Extension Service A. G. NJ.
College of Texas.
If you have not already Matched
flock of early chicks 1t is not too late
to do 1t at once. One early Matched
chick is worth four late ones. Early
chicks are the strongest and also the
most profitable. 1t will pay to make
a special effort to get early chicks.
The early chick has one competitor
TO where the late chick has a thou
sand.
In saving eggs for Matching, the
fresher the better. We have found
that Matching eggs deteriorate very
rapidly after they are five days old.
Gather the eggs often to keep them
from chilling. The best temperature
for storing Matching eggs is between
So and so degrees. Set eggs weigh
ing close to two ounces each, with
smooth shells and normal shape.
The early chick generally suffers
mostly from cold and dampness.
Make special provision to keep them
sufficiently warm day and night. 1t
is much better to have it little Too
warm than not warm enough. II 1t
is too warm they can get away from
the source of heat, but II 1t Is too
cold they huddle together, crowd and
die. Keep the early chick warm and
dry.
There can be no longer any ques-
ton concerning the efficiency OF
brooders for rearing chicks. 1t is
impossible to raise early chicks with
out brooders. The brooder is an up
to-date piece OF machinery and has
come to stay. The average farmer
can we'll afford to give this question
some thought.
We have found the colony brood
ing system to be the most adaptable
to farm conditions. A house 6xS,
SKIS. 9x9 or even 10x10 built on
skids movable with a wooden floor,
we have found to meet all require
ments. Such house can be equip
ped with coal heated colony brood
ers or kerosene heated colony brood
ers, large enough to accommodate
100 to 800 chicks at one time. There
are many good makes OF both kind
on the market. The coal heaters are
safer than the kerosene heaters.
Before placing any chicks in your
brooders be sure that the houses are
clean and free from yermin. For
killing mites we use Beaumont oil
very literally. literally soaking en-
tire inside of house. We put 1t on
with a brush.
For several years we have been
using cottonseeed bulls for litter and
find them very satisfactory. Coarse
sand or fine gravel may also be used.
Never use musty or moldy litter be-
cause II is very injurious to. the
chicks and bills many each year.
Do not det the strong. cold and
damp wiEds strike the chicks. Place
The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1921-03-25

in the house, and use boards or tin

flock of early chicks. but they are
worth the extra effort and trouble.
