TEST COWS in MoNETT
AND VICINITY

Dir. Jones, sent out by the United
States department of agriculture and
Bureau of Animal Training, has been
in Monett for several days testing
the cattle on farms and dairies near
the city, and also testing cattle in town
Of the herds tested to date, only five
have been found that are tubercular.
Seven were found that had symptoms
of the disease.
He has inspected the cattle at
several of the dai1ies that luIats
milk for the people Of Monet, and he
will probably test the cattle at the
other dairies before he leaves. He is
just starting in good here, and ex-
poets to stay until all diseases have
been eliminated from the stock that
have been found diseased.
All farmers should have their cattle
tested. They may not have tuber-
culosis, or any symptoms of the di-
sease, but the inspector might give
them valuable information on the care
of their cows.
All applications, if possible, should
be turned in at the Whitlock Brothers
Feed store, this week.

WHATS WRONG?

For some time there has been
considerable complaint about the
mail service for Benton AMI vi
cinity. Ii seems that there Is.
something wrong somewhere.
Quite a lot OF times no night mail
is thrown off a. the station for this
place. Last Monday night the
mail wasn't thrown off and the
post master stated that the reason
it wasn't thrown off was on ac-
count of there being no lantern OH
the mail crane. Whose business
is it to place the lantern there and
WHY was il not placed there
1t has been reported that the
Tennessee Power Company plant
ut Parksville is going to make an
effort to- have its mail changed
from Benton to Ocoee r, F. ID.
and all on account of the unsatis-
factory mail service at this place.
! lust how this is we can't say, but
we hope it is all a mistake. Every
bit of business that goes away from
Benton hurts the town just that
much, and if there is being ar
effort of that kind made the bust
ness men of the town should ge
busy and see what is wrong.

FERTILIZER SITUATION
Extension of Credits Win Be
Restricted-Large Yields Per
Acre Keenly Needed for
Overcoming Handicaps.

The fertilizer situation in the South
il unusual More than Is per cent o.
the southern farmers fertilizer &C
counts that fell due in the fan OF ias'
wear have come over into this year IN
Maid. according to authorities on the
fertilizer business.
This means that the further exten
sion OF credit will necessarily be very
much restricted to debtors until their
accounts are paid. Many 1920 farm
ers' notes are still in the hands oil
local dealers and banks. This restricts
the ability OF these agencies to extend
credit. thus increasing the difficulties
of the situation.
Fertilizer manufacturers state that
they are taking losses not only on
bad accounts, but also on the mate
rails that they bought at high prices.
This, coupled with the unsatisfactory
credit situation, is making The fertiliz-
er manufacturers slow about pushing
their goods on the market.
Though fertilizer prices have fallen
they have not gone down as much as
the price of crops. Nor have land
values. taxes, farm equipment and la
Dor been reduced in proportion TO the
price of crops. 1t follows that every
, effort must be made to produce the
crops economically.
! When crop prices are low it is nee
essary to get high yields per acre to
make any profit at all. Low yields and
low crop prices can mean only one
thing. and that is loss. Therefore,
the Southern farmer must make every
blow count in 1921. Each cultivated
acre must be forced to do its best
in producing economic high yields.
In order to do this, fertilizers must
be used, as every cotton belt farmer
realizes. Fertilizers are needed Sc
