madly down the field like a crazy iron

DEMONSTRATION
HELD AT TUPELO
Fall Gardens and Care of Home
Raised Meat Discussed by Experts
at Important Conference.

, A conference of home demonstra
tion agents and specialists for tht
group of counties in the northeast
district of Mississippi convened al
Tupelo. the past weekend. This
meeting was called by Miss See Rice
district agent, and according to re
ports from Tupelo was we'll attend
ed. Two subjects were emphasized
and brought out with particular force
These were meat curing of home
raised and slaughtered hogs and the
Importance and necessity of fall
gardens.
AS outlined by the District Agent
owing to the drought which prevailed
in most sections Of North Mississip-
pi, practically all spring planted gar
dens were a failure. 1t is necessary
now to turn attention to fall gar
dens.
The general subject of meat curing
was outlined by Miss Mary E. john
son, assistant state agent in charge
of canning, who outlined the general
plans adopted by department for i'm
proving this branch of farm-home in
dustry.
Prof. A. B. Mckay, of the horticul-
tural division, presented the subject
of fall garden work in his usual clear
cut and convincing style. He drew
on his long experience and close study
of the subject to point out what, how
and when to plant, especially in the
northeast highland and prairie soils
of which the district is composed.
These soils properly handled and ju-
diciously cultivated will give crafty
ing response and results profitable to
the gardens.
The program also included reports
from each agent about the summer
work as outlined and as it developed
in the organized counties. Another
feature of the session was a report
from Mrs. N. L. Pearce, chairman of
Lee County Marketing Association,
who told in most interesting way
about the work that the women have
carried on, in the way of city mar
ket. This market has functioned for
a whole year with profitable and en-
couraging returns to the farm women
of the county.
Side lights on poultry and egg pro-
duction in Lowndes, Lee. Tishomingo,
Clay and Oktibbeha by the respective
county leaders and agents, with pro
jects for the fall and winter, were
given and commented on.

NAMES OF STREETS
SHOULD BE SHOWN
Should BE Made Easy For Home.
Corners and Other Visitors to
Find Locations.

] There's never a day passes without
some citizen of Columbus being ask.
ed, where is such and such a street
or avenue?" Strangers coming to oui
city have no other means of finding
a given location other than by max.
ing inquiry, by reason of the fact
that there are no sign boards at the
street intersections to inform the
stranger the names of our thorough
fares.
Columbus is city of nearly twelve
thousand people The dwelling houses
as rule are placed upon large lots,
which causes our city to cover much
more territory. than a city that is com
pactly built. Each of the streets and
avenues shoul9 be plainly designated
by Sign boards placed at street inter-
sections, in order that any person
might be able to tell at a glance their
exact location. This would involve
some little expense and work, but if
the signs were durably made and Sc
curely fastened they would last for a
long time.
In few days the Mississippi State
College for Women will be opened for
another year of splendid work. A
thousand young ladies will be with us
for the next nine months. We should
make it easy for them to find the
homes of friends or any location they
seek.
In a little more than a month we
will have within our city's portals
and hundreds of visitors.
They are coming to attend the Cen
tennial and Home-C Coming Celebra-
tion. If all the streets andeavenues
were plainly marked by signboards.
t would make it easier for our guests
10 find their way over the city.
And then, in addition to the rea-
sons already set forth, the erection Of
he street and avenue signs would give
Columbus more of a metropolitan ap-
Dearance. We believe the suggestion
S worth while, and we respectfully
,ffer it to the proper officials Of our
splendid city government.
